But these terrorists from the Middle East, the one who claims we are the great satan's came in here and destroyed 2 buildings and murdered 3000 civilians without even a warning of an attack.
Right, but the Afghanistan war was to avenge that, remember? This is Iraq we're talking about. There's little or no evidense that Al Kaeda has or had any connection to Iraq (despite Bush's attempt to link them in order to justify the invasion). I read of
one instance of a Bin Laden cohort paying a visit to Sadam. OK, then, let's bomb Iraq. I imagine the rest of the countries on his travel itinerary are quaking in fear as we speak.
When are you going to wake up and realize that these people don't care about your policies they just want to kill you and Americans?
Saddam had ten years to do that since the last Gulf War. Why didn't he? And, by the way, where are all those WMDs? I saw they thought they found some chemical agents, but it turned out to be pesticides. But I'm sure there are massive stockpiles just waiting to be found. But as to your point, why exactly do you think these people want to kill Americans? Surely nothing to do with our foreign policies?
Peace Bro, a lot of good men have died and are still dying so that you can have it.
Don't tell me Americans (you forgot to mention the women that have died, which says a lot about your mindset.) are dieing in Iraq to protect my freedom. Iraq never threatened my freedom -- their own citizens' but not mine. Iraq may have threatened oil companies' freedom to drain the reserves, but I wouldn't know about that. What I worry about now is that, with Bush, Rumsfeld and the rest having whipped America into a fear frenzy and pissed off a whole new batch of nothing-to-lose types in the Middle East, my freedom is apt to be further encroached on as the Homeland Security monolith (geez, what a monstrosity) gets geared up and self-fulfilling and as a new generation of terrorists is spawned by the latest US incursion. (Remember that Bin Ladin's stated reason for 9/11 was to get the US military presence out of Saudi Arabia, which he considered sacrosanct. We sure fixed that problem, didn't we?)
Well, it's hard to know what to include here, and it's all for nothing anyway, judging from what's already been written. All I can say is that those goofball Freedom Fries and "boycott France" ideas only show how utterly stupid Americans can be at times. (As if there was
anything French about a french fry, and as if any good whatsoever could come of boycotting "French" products.) Not to say that there aren't stupid people elsewhere, but, you know, when Americans do things, they tend to do them on a grand scale. ;-)
