Now here is something unique. A little game that allows you to hunt down insurgents in the streets of Iraq. The only catch is, you can’t win!
You see, it starts out with a few terrorists running around amidst the civilians in the streets of Iraq. You’ve got your finger on the trigger and you can hunt them down. If you manage to shoot one of them, fantastic! But if you hit any civilians in the process you’ll watch as their friends mourn them and then become terrorists themselves.
The problem is, the little buggers keep moving around making it difficult not to have any “collateral damage”. So, you just start wiping the city off the face of the map and pretty soon just about everyone is an insurgent!
There is obviously a political message at work here, but the game is worth a play.

i’m confused. are you just making a metaphorical point or is there a game? could we get a link?
thanks
Doah! I’ve now added the link… Sorry about that everyone! My mind must be slipping. :-)
very interesting game, yet it’s so true… you kill someones child, sibling, relative, and you expect them not to attack back? well, they will attack with whatever they got, even if it’s a knife against a tank…
I think y’all forgot something… They shot first 9/11/2001!!!!
That’s awesome! It’s like being right back over there. Exactly how it happens… and, that’s why things never get better over there. Very creative way to get a political message across.
