On the other hand, what do you think the nuclear families of those 250 probable kills consider him?
A sheep, wolf, or sheep dog? Would a tough, strong Iraqi father, with belt on table, say to his two young sons, "I'm not going to raise any sheep, and I'll beat you if you act like a wolf." Would that father turn out sheepdogs to go after Americans? Would the world's Biggest Umpire label our armed yanks as --sheep, wolves, or sheepdogs?
