Iraqi farmer: "I didn't even trust my children"

[sandorski]

Saddam was the US's puppet of convenience for a time. I'm not surprised they have their concerns.

I thought Fox did an informal poll of the Iraqi citizens and came up with about an 80% approval rate for the removal of Saddam's regime. Nice to see them finally free to speak their minds, whichever opinion they may hold.

Although I believe the majority of Iraqi people approved US's actions, a poll done by Fox in a country in the middle of a war can't be very precise. What did they do, get 100 people to answer and then extrapolate for the entire Iraqi population?

That's true.

That is the way polls work.

I would like to assume that Fox would take the time to poll more Iraqi civilians after the war had been over for awhile. That way when it spits out percentages like that they are at least in the proximatey of valid figures. Too many people take what the news says as an absolute fact and use it to prove their theories.... this just spreads the use of fallacious arguments.

How about a link to an unbiased ...resource Flavio.

 

[Format C:]

Would you guys please stop trying to argue with flappio by presenting facts? You can't DO that with brain dead liberals. You have to argue about how you FEEL, and obviously he thinks that more Iraqis needed to suffer and die under Saddam so he could feel sad for them. You see, thats what makes him morally and intellectually superior. He feels their pain.

For Faez, life under Saddam was living paranoia. "I didn't even trust my children," he said. "Teachers would ask them, 'What do you talk about at home? What does your father say about Saddam?'"

And if anything was perceived to be negative, "They could shoot you," he said. When one son was recruited for terror school at 14, Faez says he sent him away to live with relatives.

"Many people disappeared into prisons and families don't know what happened to them," he said.

It was disgusting over there...

I can't believe what went on.

that kind of stuff still goes on in other places of the world you know

They don't matter............ Do they?

US intelligence has a knack for finding WMD and terrorists in the darndest places. Don't discount the "other" countries yet.

 

[Bleep]

Our plan in Iraq was really wonderfully simple. You fight you die. You give up you can go home. What could be more humane than that?
If it had been me making the decisions I would have carpet bombed one of the cities and killed everyone men, women, children, then gave them the ultimatum of surrender or you get the same.

Bleep

Nice Try Flabbio, but if that were true his nuts would've been roasting over Bush's fireplace by now.
