War and Morality. Tough one. If you think about morality from the point of view of the individual soldier, then it really depends on the soldier in question. If we think about it in a more general setting, for example by stating that the tactics America is using are dishonourable, then its hardly the fault of the individual soldier.

May I ask you, do you have the same respct for the Taliban and the Iraqi resistance fighters as well?

Well depends - a person who straps explosives to disabled women and sends them wandering into a crowd before detonating them at a distance, I find it hard to respect that. But those resistance fighters, who attack the superior military might of the West with old Russian weapons definately have my respect in the way that I respect any man prepared to put his life on the line for his beliefs or his people.
