I'm sorry Prasad, I never said I identify with SPC. England: In fact, I condemn her actions as strongly as possible. I do think it is shameful for users to refer to US soldiers with disrespect: I also feel it's shameful for people to refer to ANY soldiers with disrespect. I believe the Bushido code, the Way of the Warrior is alive and well amongst soldiers. As for your side note, you're entitled to your beliefs.

You find the username Abu Hamza offensive, tomorrow if someone adopts the pseudonym Lynddie England, then what will your reaction be? Just like some Muslims support Hamza, there are Americans (I have met these people on the internet) who condone what England did to POWs in Abu Ghraib. If a situation arises where a user identifies with a sadist like Lyndie, will the Community react in such a strong manner. Especially you Mr. Rosenthal-I have noticed that you have implied on a certain occassion that it was "freakin shameful" for users to refer to U.S soldiers with disrespect. On a side-note let me make it clear to you that I do NOT respect American soldiers and personally think of them as a band of glorified mercenaries and you do not have any authority whatsoever to refer to my opinion as "shamegul". Perhaps you are accustomed to violating the human-rights of Iraqi POWs, but you cannot do the same to me especially since I am not a U.S citizen and hence owe no loyalty to the American military. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
