Ah yes, this is an appalling comparison.  Just ask the Iraqis who live in 
Stalingrad -- oops! I mean Fallujah.

Elsewhere in this thread you said:

But firefighters break down doors to *save* civilians, not shoot them as US 
troops do.  Firefighters *extinguish* conflagrations; they don't start them, 
as the US armed forces did when they invaded Iraq creating a firestorm of 
Islamic hatred toward the US that could rage for generations.
