Blackwater, civilians, and guns.

I guess that's never a good situation.

It's a tough issue. On one hand, I see why they did what they did. I mean, you do have to defend yourself, and I certainly don't think, and hope, they weren't targeting civilians. But on the other hand, I don't think they should putting themselves in situations where it's possible for such things to occur. I understand they serve a purpose, but I think it's a pretty shitty purpose. I think it really says something about the situation in Iraq when things like this happen. We're doing a great job ain't we?
