My God people.....mellow out.
We are at War, Like it or lump it. War creates violence, and people die. War creates stresses beyond human endurance, and people break. War is not a clean little affair, and is full of atrocities. Iraqis have murdered Americans. Americans have murdered Iraqis. Both sides have made mistakes, and will make more. Torture is unacceptable, but that wont stop it. We will all Bitch about the entire thing, long after it is over. The actions of a few, do not reflect the attiude of the whole. On either side. One thing to remember- We INVADED Iraq , most likely on what will be percieved as false pretences. They will be pissed, just as we would be. It will do nobody justice or be of any help to make matters worse by acting below civilized standards, but we will anyway, because.........That is war.

I love it...
The phrase 'mellow out' followed by some of the most brutal depressing truths of humanity's twisted little existence... :P Anyways, we should all go watch Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola eases the pain... |

By your logic, it would have been OK for Saddam to attack America because he thinks Bush is evil and he doesnt like him, but if that happened you would have a totally different view on everything. And what about this "arsenal" you are talking about, is this the same arsenal that we did not find, but were sure he had? As for the so called war on terror, it will never be stopped, no matter how many wars you have, no matter how many people you eliminate, terrorism will not be stopped, you will always have nut jobs blowing themselves up. Besides, what right of Americas is it to go around to other countries and do whatever they please. Bush is no less of a evil dictator than Saddam was, they are both murderers who hopefully will be punished for what they have done. As for your comment about the war being a necissity of human life, it is not even worth responding to as you and most everyone else on this board with the exeption of a few have been brainwashed by the American Govt. |

You say Iraq is cruel toward the weaker of the world? I thought America was the nation always attacking the weaker country. Iraq being one of them. Besides, do you truly think we are in Iraq to help them, if you do, you are blind just like everyone else. If the case was to give the Iraqis freedom, why dont we go into all these other countries that have a evil dictator and no freedom and help them? Once again, you say some of these soldiers dont agree with what they are in Iraq for, but fight anyway. This does not make them heroes, it makes them cowards for being afraid to disagree and say they will not fight, no matter what the circumstance or punishment would be. You can say what you like, but it doesnt change the facts. Thou shalt not kill. |

And if anyone else is in the mood to jump to conclusions about me - I've not killed another human, though I have seen people die. And I was in a situation that should have killed me. For some reason, I was saved...maybe my purpose here on Earth is to point out the need for apostrophes in possessives and contractions. Maybe my purpose to to mock the self-righteous who wish ill on others.

Enough of this. Let this serve as a general warning. Two members are on the edge of being banned because of this nonsense name calling. To the rest of you, you can make your points (even strong ones) POLITELY. If you cannot, there are many other boards that will allow you to flame away at each other, but TFP is NOT ONE OF THEM. -lebell
