America invaded Iraq to capture Saddam Hussein. We didn't go in to conquer a population. I know you don't want me to say this but I will: Those dead Iraqi children (if they were even killed by the actions of Americans) are collateral damage. They should not have died and America didn't mean for them to die. Can't you see the difference between a bunch of terrorists shooting children in the back as they try to escape and an Iraqi boy who happened to be to close to an American airstrike. There is a difference there and I know for some hippies It doesn't matter how someone dies because all death is bad especially if America causes it. If Saddam causes it hes ok with the hippies. If Yassar causes it hes ok with the Europeans. If Wen Jiabao causes it then everyones ok with it because noone messes with China.

Would you rather have the fight in your streets?! The American soldiers are now the targets of the Mujahedeen. When the large American target in Iraq leaves the terrorists will come to America and fight us in our streets. I'm sorry but I would rather have Iraqis dieing instead of my American neighbors. By the way I liked that quote at the end of your post. HAHA.........have another'

the Bush Administration went into Iraq - now, where did you say those WMD's were, George ?

They would fight us the same way they fight the Jews - by strapping bombs to their chest and going onto a train, bus ect.
Instead they are fighting our army, in their neck of the woods. Thats what an army is for - to fight wars. I don't want a single more soldier to die over there, but at least the soldier has made a decision to put his life on the line to keep civs safe, and understands that he is in fact, in harms way. So I say better their dead children then ours, on their land not ours.

Their demands? A lot like Oil, Rule muslim by someone they don't wan't, Forcing unislamic law on an islamic country, Taking out freedom of muslims, WMD, Bringing workers from out side the country while the locals dont have any job . . .
end of quote. I cannot get the quotes to work right.
I know you will not believe me, but Iraqis WILL be able to vote for who they want. Who is going to stop the group with the most guns from electing themselves? What will happen if America and the Coalition leave now?

Whether you choose to accept it, or not. IT IS IN AMERICA'S INTEREST to make sure that Iraq does not again become a state that sponsors terrorism.

Alot of Muslims should be thanking Allah for the American presence there for it has given them the ability to kill them easier. Now terrorists who want to kill Americans no longer have to get airfare to New York and a phony passport and visa. They can walk across the border, kill some Americans, and be home in time to watch the camel races on tv.

As for the term 'Western terrorists' i think that's a blatant generalisation, just because some Coalition soldiers unfortunetely deemed it fine to mistreat civilians doesn't mean the whole Coalition's military are terrorists. I would imagine a lot of service personnel would be very offended by that comment. You're letting the voice of a few speak for the majority and that not on. Please think carefully about such comments before voicing them.

BTW i wouldn't take everything Al-Jazeera says as fact since they are a little biased and have been known to 'engineer' certain scenes for dramatic effect and to make the Coalition look worse.
Remember Fanoose.....DENY IGNORANCE

There is little hope that anything will change your mind and denounce what the "resistance" is doing and you have made it clear that kidnapping civilians and killing them in the most brutal way is acceptable because they dont have bullets for their guns or missles. You also believe that our warplanes drop bombs on civilians rather than military targets which is so utterly wrong.

What are they protecting the coalition with? These people arent soldiers they are civilians. Unarm, untrained everyday people.
Originally posted by bobobb
Hmmmm what is it that we cant take? I dont see the occupation running due to the release of the beheadings of civilians. If anything it justifies our cause. One things is for certain the coalition will not leave iraq until a working govenment which is elected by the people of iraq is strong and able to protect itself and its people. That day will come soon enough.
Iraq will be free and its people will be able to live at ease and prosper.

1- Fanoose do you seriously believe that the Americans in Iraq deserve the same punishment given out to those Chechens who shot the kids in the school?
2- Fanoose do you agree that thousands of Iraqis were killed and tortured in Iraqi prisons?
3- Fanoose do you agree that Saddam ordered the gassing of a kurdish village killing hundreds?
4- Fanoose do you agree that all American soldiers in Iraq are trying their hardest to kill as many innocent people as possible?
5- Fanoose do you agree that Muslim terrorists should be treated with respect because they are only trying to free thir country from the oppressive imperialistic Americans?
I am not joking with these questions. Please answer truthfully Fanoose. If you can. Don't spin it Fanoose just be honest inyour answers.
