If you are talking about the thousands if not tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis that Saddam has killed, then you could say that God is avenging them.
So true....

Yeah, i'm talking about those thousands of Iraqis that saddam has killed, mr. ETECH
Yup..with the weapons this GRand Old LIberating MAchine of a country supplied to Hussein years ago.
YEah...Bush gives a damn about Iraqi people.. wait...no he doesn't?
The most important propaganda topic deserving some discussion is the reason to go to war
and its evolution over time. Months earlier, the warmongers uttered "regime change"
as a justification for the war. This was considered too crass, and it briefly made way for
"Iraq has links to terrorism", a very short-lived justification. This gave way to "rid Iraq of WMD."
A UN inspection team was set up, and it was clear from the beginning that this was meant to fail.
Once the UN didn't lend its imprimatur to justify the war, and the fact that many Europeans
sought to continue the inspections regime, then another justification was necessary. Now,
"let's liberate Iraq"--in other words, a euphemism for "regime change"--was concocted without much reflection.
Within days of the war starting, the stiff Iraqi resistance revealed the absurdity of the new justification.
If the Iraqis are not being liberated, then what are American troops doing there to begin with? Maybe the
only way this mythological justification can be stretched is to starve the population of Basra (water supplies
have been cut), and at a later point when the situation is really desperate, then soldiers can hand out
food parcels for the benefit of CNN viewers.

So you would prefer the Iraqi's to suffer under tyhe totalitiarian regime of Hussien? If he is disposed the Iraqi expatriates would be able to go home and help build a new Iraq. Wouldn't it be nice if your ancestral homeland were freed from the freedom crushing theocratical grips of your Mullahs and Ayatollahs?
wow... i always thought that theory about "if you give a stupid gorilla a typewriter it will eventually spell a word" was a bunch of bull.
Then pers came along...
Then pers came along...
you don't agree with me, so i'm stupid?
oh i guess the "arrogant nation" rhetoric heard outside US borders wasn't propaganda afterall....

You came in here with guns ablaze and you didn't think you'd get shot back at?
CkG
i like your tone..you disagree with me..but you didn't attack.... good boy
Iraq is currently secular btw... there are no mullahs in control..
but that's ok..stay away from any source of Knowledge for now (until war is over) -- enough of it may rouse suspicion regarding our own regime--

what did i say? i only stated truth?
put your gun away...i mean..i know it's in your nature to pull it out everytime you feel you may be wrong
it's not your fault you've been exposed to this culture -- Michael Moore prooven right?
actually i called you a gorilla. you picked the icon.
Yes we are arrogant... but at least we have some understanding of right and wrong and the concept of justice. Selling out to an evil dictator is wrong. Putting an end to a madman hellbent on supporting terrorists and buying WMD is right.
Nooooo
American media will have you think we embrace dictatorships... But as An Iranian-American...i am not a fool
i saw america's coup against mossaddegh in Iran....He was as close as we could get to a democracy in Iran
They had him killed and Put THE SHAH IN POWER (then they had many of you fools convinced that turban heads dont enjoy freedom as if this notion makes any sense)....AMERICA doesn't look to better IRaq...it seeks to disparage it
Iraqis know regime change means another Karzai -- puppet regime -- looking to further AMERICAN interests....
good day...i hope your cheaper gas isn't being taken for granted -- people i love are dying for it

No you didn't state the truth :| You came in here and stating that we were starving the population of Basra only to play to the CNN cameras
That my freind is trolling and doesn't contain 1 ounce of this "TRUTH" you keep talking about.
Micheal Moore -
I kindly suggest you depart from here until such a time comes that you can post without trolling.
CkG
i didn't troll.... water supplies in Basra were cut
why were they cut? does it make sense to you since we're "liberating iraqis"
or does liberating mean punishing?
oh, and may i request you stop using smiley faces? they're almost as irritating as your posts

You were around back then? You must be the oldest member here. BTW, the Persian People are great. One of the greatest cultures ever. Hopefully the Iranians will rise against the Iron rule of the Clerics! BTW, the people you loved were being killed before we entered this conflict. Hopefully afterwards they will be free of our and all other outside influences and regain the greatness they use to have and that they should of had if not for the despicable tyranny of Hussien, his sons and his henchmen. Revolutions are often bloody. Sometime the people are so suppressed that they need help from another source. We are that other source. Sure innocents will die but in the long run the toll will be much less if we succeed.
Funny, everything I've seen indicates we are fighting Iraqis armed with Russian equipment. Anyone have that link of arms sales to Iraq handy?
