I don't know why this came up again at my family's dinner table but it's worth a laugh, if you don't mind being laughed at. No one likes to be laughed at so I'll assume this thread will get absolutely no responses. When my little guy was 3ish I took him to the local water slides for a day of fun. Oh we had a ball all right. It was a great day with all the trimmings. T

It's not a dislike for America. It's pointing out the fact that there was nothing to fear when the US GAVE Iraq their scary WMD, so there was nothing to fear now. They never had any WMD and they said so. The fact of the matter is that Iraq's denials ended up being 100% true. The reasons the US gave to invade Iraq ended up being 100% wrong. That's not good when an evil country like Iraq is telling the truth.

who'syourdad there's a good link I linked to in an earlier thread. Go to this site and see the same carnaged bodies only instead of Americans they're Iraqis. Killed by the US in the 1st Gulf War. http://digitaljournalist.org/issue0212/pt_index.html

true to a point psychx. You're thinking is reasonable IF you don't take into account America's support for him even though they knew even then that he was committing atrocities. That's what I mean. The US supported Hussein when they knew he was a bad guy. In fact the US even gave him the WMD they're so worried about now. So I think if the US was concerned for the Iraqi people they'd never have supported Hussein with the chemical he used to kill his own

of course they're not meaningless. But I don't like the death and destruction resulting from the lies no matter if Hussein is ousted. He's been there for over 30 years. Is is worth the thousands of dead?

holy smokes I can't believe the depths to which mortal humans will go in order to placate themselves and place the burden of blame for our screwed up planet upon God Himself! We have free will and free choice. Don't be blaming no God's for our problems. :)

Not at all. In fact I've never had anyone close to me in the military thank the lord. I don't know what I'd do if I had a real loved one over there. I'd be dragging him home or else he's in his room for an hour. :)

"There is no going back now because if we withdrew troops and let them decide for themselves it will never happen" Um so you mean it's going to happen no matter the cost? I take it you have no relatives in the services? The cost of your words would be paid for by them.

On the contrary I look at the overall picture, going all the way back to the 80's and America's support for Hussein and his WMD program, all leased by the Americans. That's the whole picture. But while I respect your opinion I don't see why you can't relate the killing of the civilians to the civilians' fury against the Americans. I find that odd to believe.

extremists? Meaning the logical thinkers who believe actions today have a direct corelation to the events of yesterday? And I think it's strange how you say the Iraqi people don't know what's best for them. I say that in light of the fact the US servicemen slaughtered like 18 of the residents 2 weeks after the war was over. One could argue that those few scared rattled GI's set the stage for the anger and hatred which erupted in Fallujah.

I think it's always wise to be open to what your allies think and feel. That's only natural. Now if you're talking about them being able to set policy or involve themselves officially in American elections then no. But yes every free open minded nation should be receptive to what its' allies are thinking. Why not?

I hope things end up alright too, of course. But with the constant references in the media about progress, and about how well the effort is going in Iraq I think it's all becoming clear that that is simply not the case. Look at what these people did to the dead bodies! Insane. That's hate in its purest form, and these are people who know it's against Muslim law to be doing that kind of stuff. They hate America so much they do it anyways, Muslim law be

wow that's pretty horrible. I hope you know what you're doing. Lots of people think they're no longer in love when their hearts no longer flutter when they see their loved one come into the room. Maybe you fall into that category. And what does 'yes but it's not the same' mean really? It's a loaded statement that's for sure.
