Liberators indeed. Now wonder Americans are getting their heads chopped off.

Why? Because they shoot people who point RPGs at them?

If they mind their own business, they won't have RPGs pointed at them will they?

Yeah, life sucks. Know what? Sometimes you've got to choose sides because we obviously can't live together in a pretty little garden and sings songs. It's us or them. They brought the war to us and now they're paying the price. Tough sh!t.

Iraq didn't start anything... unless you're talking about 15 years ago. This war was started by the USA and UK.

I'm not talking specifically Iraq. I'm talking about the Middle East; militant islamists and muslims.

Don't turn it into a general issue.

Couldn't you troll a more relevant issue, like gay marriage?

Perspective. I dont think they hated the US before the 80's. I believe now its mostly because we support Israel in all fronts.

I can rest knowing that I am not the only one generalizing.

He's shooting at our troops and trying to disrupt what stability the country has. What did you want them to do, ask him to Tea?

They've hated the West (Christianity) since Napoleon landed in the center of the Muslim world, in Egypt, over two hundred years ago.

Sorry. I dont hear any account of stuff like this happening here before the 80's.
Muslims never hated Christianity. Its more like recent western policies that they hate.

Muslims never hated Christianity? You sir, are an idiot. They've always hated us, there's just more blanket media coverage these days. It was always there.

They were shooting to kill our guys!! These disgusting pieces of filth are a total waste of oxygen. The only thing that saddens me ... is all the innocent people that have died, while this garbage breathes!

But hey, that's just my opinion.

very true

I don't have a problem with the guy getting killed, given the situation...he knew what he was doing.

However, I do think that this should be taken as a sobering reality of what war really is. Not a joking matter.

Sorry, but anyone who gets their rocks off killing civilians in the name of their respective Gods have forfeited any rights they have to breathing in this world...

You sir, are the idiot back. I know this since I've lived abroad for many years. Back then it was just fine, but it aint anymore.

You're binning them all together. Have some discretion. Charles Manson and all you Americans are sickos. :roll:

Al Qaeda did some stuff to the US. The US goes after them, then goes into Iraq. Iraq wasn't in response to 9/11 directly. I have yet to see any solid ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda other than "they're all Islamic pieces of sh!t"

Saddam brought it on 15 years ago. The UN handed it to him. Now Bush v2.0 is going back there for unclear reasons.

What are these Iraqi people seeing? They had their own country (albeit under Saddam and what not) and now it's under foreign control. How many people wouldn't be pissed off if foreign troops were telling them what to do in their own country?

All of this is beside the point though. It's one thing to support your troops abroad, it's another to take pleasure in the death of another human.
