  • What absolute nonsense! Iraq never was a threat to America, had nothing to do with 9/11 and has nothing to do with the phony "war on terror". Radical Islam is no worse than radical Christianity. You obviously know not the first thing about Islam.

  • You're right, since I live in the USA I know little about Islam. However, I disagree with your attempt to put two radicals on equal moral ground...I guess I would agree if Presbysterians, Methodists or Baptists, etc were blowing themselves up and taking hostages, but instead they appear to spread hospitals around the world to alleviate human suffering, not cause it.
    darino
  • Yours is a false argument - I see loads of fundamentalist Presbyterians, Methodist and Baptists etc., who are doing far, far worse than blowing themselves up and taking hostages - they encourage and root for the mass slaughter of people in distant lands because they are different, Moslems, "rag-heads", "sand-niggers", etc. It is not the fundies who build hospitals, either.
    Vierotchka
  • Where at? Let's get the facts on these "loads" of fdmlts. This mass slaughter must be stopped!
    darino
  • You don't need to look very far - just listen to what they are saying and posting. Tune-in on some of these right-wing "Christian" radios, televangelists, etc., read the posts in right-wing "Christian" websites and forums.
    Vierotchka
  • So the right-wingers are public about their involvment in mass slaughter...? Are you exaggerating...? If not, the news media needs to be involved to expose these crimes against humanity. If you are exaggerating, then maybe not all fundies are alike? Maybe some are good, safe and beneficial and some are bad, unsafe and detrimental?

  • I agree, how long would you let a murderer on probation get away with breaking almost every rule against them. You wouldn't they would be in jail. well, we gave him 12 years to comply to his own signiture about retreating because of Kuwate. they fired at us almost daily. its about time we did what we said we was going to do instead of waffling around the situation like others have in the past Late Rip

  • what border? last time I checked Iraq was not too close to the United States, and none of the 9/11 Hijackers came from Iraq, in fact the majority of them are Saudi, just like Osamma Bin Ladin. Why attack a third party? I served two tours in Iraq, and while it's true that we don't intentionally target civilians, they get killed every day, by both sides. War is a tragedy and it would be good for us all to remember that.

  • I use the term border loosely to describe providing us a safe perimeter. One attacks a third party for the same reason you work up the chain of drug smuglers.
    More importantly, thank you for your service- words cannot express my personal gratitude. It's because of you that we can write these responses w/o fear of assassination. I wish more countries would fight and be willing to die and risk shedding innocent blood for our ideology, like you have fought for. Although tragic, our world neighborhood would be a safer place for our loved ones. As you know, the answer for security is NOT passivity.

  • Thanks, for the complement, but I have to disagree with some of what you said. Our actions Iraq have not made anything safer for us,. I agree that we should be worried about our security, but the true threats to American security are not in Iraq, nor were they ever. The united States took its eye off the ball when we invaded Iraq. Iraq was not a threat to the United States before 2003, and all the reasons we went to war for turned out to be false. We should be concentrated on winning in Afghanistan, and sadly, because of the Iraq war, we have not spend as much resources as we should to help Afghanistan become more secure. The Taliban and Al Quaida are the real enemies, who we had on the ropes but we let escape into Pakistan. No they are gaining strength, and are in fact stronger than they have been since before the war started. The Iraqi people don't want us there, and honestly, they don't want any of the terrorists or foreign fighters there ether. saying that we are attacking up the chain seems to put Saddam's Iraq in the same category as the Taliban, which it was not. I think the best way to security and prosperity is diplomacy.The military will always be there to fight for our beliefs and rights, but they should not be used until all else has failed.

  • I respect what you are saying JoshD, but if you have ever tried to be diplomatic to an unreasonable person, it's like talking to a brute, or a wall. The middle eastern mindset is very different from our own. Like Chamberlain coming back from Hitler with a peace treaty signed by Hitler not to invade Poland (I think???), Chamberlain's plane hadn't cooled down yet when German tanks rolled into Poland. The middle east mind set is just like that, a promise of peace for diplomatic reasons but they never mean it.

  • The US invaded another country without just cause. Bush is a criminal and should be tried as one. But he will get away with all the pain and suffering he has caused because he has money and power.

  • If you want to defend our borders, why are we in Iraq? Why are we in this small country thousands of miles away from our borders? Did they invite us to invade their country? Is it a "JUST" thing to do, to occupy a sovereign country to steal their oil? I think you should ponder these questions, look at a map and try and figure out what we are doing there. Also, why were we so scared of a country that didn't even have an airforce? How were they going to attack our borders? I think it is time to WAKE UP!!!!!

  • who is this clown? he doesn't even have a clue to whats going on. civilians not targeted? occupation for 30+ years, no dif between Islam and radical Islam. meanwhile, blackwater and co. kills a few more and pulls in billions of taxpayer dollars. mercenary Americans at their best.
    Pleeeeeease Al

  • Funny thing is, I'm more afraid of the government (as it is now) than anything any Iraqi could ever do to me. Also, I highly doubt that Islam is the source of all terror, so way to be tolerant there.

    Life in Iraq Under US Occupation
    Darino - Why don't you sign up and go if you think it's so wonderful?

    War in Iraq has been devastating to that country.
    Responsibility for all of the carnage, slaughter, and death starts and ends with the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq by the US.

    Listen to someone who's been there.

    HAVE YOU BEEN THERE DARINO?

  • I'm not going to join the pig pile and attack you or your arguments, as much as I'd like to. I'm going to ask you a question instead.

    If your premise is that the war in Iraq is justified to defend our borders, what evidence do you have that the country we invaded and now forcefully occupy posed a threat to our borders?

    It's the foundation of argument and defense of this war...please answer the question.
    krag2112
  • What evidence do YOU have that they didn't? The term "National Security" has been coined for a reason. There is so much intelligence that you, I and most of America are not privy to for the purpose of "National Security.

    Do you really think that Bush was just sitting around the oval office one night, having a few beers with the Secretary of Defense, threw at dart at the atlas and said "let's invade THAT country!!"

    And if your gonna say "OIL!!" Stop right there. The majority of our oil doesn't even come from Iraq. It didn't before the our occupation, it doesn't now, nor will it in the future.

    Part of me hopes that a left winger does take office. Then you will see that all the promises they make about pulling out the troops will be impossible tasks once they are briefed on the real threats.

    Use your head for something besides hold up your berat and a protest sign!!!

  • Use your head for something other than a butt plug. There was never any justification for invading Iraq. The weapons inspectors were doing their job and found no evidence of WMD, no Nigerian yellow cake uranium. The intelligence was manipulated to make a case for war and the idiots in congress, instead of asking questions, fell in step with the wishes of the administration. If you recall, Cheney even said regarding WMD, "We know where they are". The only weapons of mass destruction are in the USA. This administration has LIED to you Bubbadog, and the rest of America and the world for their own personal gain. Cheney still owns mass amounts of stock in Halliburton and they are making a fortune from the blood of our troops and the tax payers of America. Get informed.

  • You are absolutely wrong about targeting civilians. Almost 1 million civilians (mostly women and children) have died as a result of the US invasion and occupation.
    OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE TRUTH!
    The US is there for the control and profit from the oil resourses of Iraq and no other reason. It doesn't matter that no Iraqi oil comes to the US, it's making sure that the US multi national oil corporations control and make the profits from it.

    Bubba dog - you and Darino drank a few gallons too many of the kool aid
    Please watch Dr Dahlia Wasfi and learn something about life in Iraq under US occupation.
    PHubb
  • Bubba dog, Are you suggesting that our government DID find WMDs in Iraq but kept it secret? Really? I'm putting down my protest sign, lifting my beret and scratching my head over that one. Why would they have done that?

    You're saying that we should just sit back, believe everything the Government tells us and slowly give up both our rights and our independent thought. I wonder, did you think that when Bill Clinton was in office? Bet you didn't.

    Nice try though. Please try again.

  • I completely disagree with your post about the Iraq war. The Iraq war isn’t about the border. Also it has nothing to do with 9/11. Not every Islamic person is a Terrorist. A lot of them are just like every one of us. We are all equal. I don’t think we should win the war. I think we should just get the hell out of Iraq.

  • I don’t agree with your post about the iraq war being “just a war”. I think it’s a lot more than what you said it is. You said that u want to be safe when you go to the malls and go places, just because we are in the war doesn’t mean that your going to be safe.
