Tell me something, another country comes into the U.S. to do to us what we did to Afghanistan, what would you call those combatants that stand up and fight and if they are caught and taken back to the country which was supposedly "liberating" us?    Just a thought, would they be POW's or POS's?   (lets just say we had a group of terrorist who took down buildings in that country).
  

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
