Iraqis rally against 'terrorism'

[charrison]

linkage

Hundreds of Iraqis have marched in the capital, Baghdad, to protest against "terrorism" and continuing violence.
Among the demonstrators were relatives of some of those killed in recent bombings in Baghdad and elsewhere.

There was a heavy Iraqi police presence as the protesters marched through the city centre, with American military helicopters hovering overhead.

In the latest attack, a US soldier was killed when rebels shelled a military base in the northern town of Mosul.


"Yes to Iraq, no to terrorism," chanted protesters, who gathered at Baghdad's al-Firdos square.


Heavily armed Iraqi police accompanied the rally

Three empty coffins adorned with Iraqi national flags were brought to the rally to honour civilian victims of attacks by militants.

That's cute but means nothing. Until you get the shiites, former baaths, kurds etc together to seriously agree on a government, you risk civil war or the country being broken up into a few pieces.

Oh, so what you really mean is, protests only count when they are anti-american.


Your true colors are showing today.

I fail to see where jjsole was implying that protests only count when they are anti-american, I think you're jumping to conclusions.

Thats cute, but that means nothing.

But every antiamerican protest is trumpeted by jjsole.

Not really for someone who has read your previous posts.


So can you admit this protest is just as important as other protests that have occured in Iraq. If you can I will retract my statement.

I believe this is nothing more than a protest facilitated by the CIA in the same way they are working to promote pro-democracy protesting in iran.

We demand that all criminals, whether they are Saddam [Hussein] loyalists or al-Qaeda members, be chased and tried for their crimes against the Iraqi people

This quote in itself sounds very suspiciously american, or perhaps shiite, those who have the most to gain politically by the discrediting and isolating the former baaths as the culprits.

There apparently is much more resistance than just the old loyalists and new alqueda, where the current biggest threat to the country is a growing national resistance. Fundamentally I don't believe this addresses the immediate 'unitarian' needs of the population, and sounds more of a self-serving protest to address our administrations political needs at home, and not in iraq.

Or just call me highly skeptical.

 

[miguel]

I'll have to say that you seem to read too much into it and that you are highly skeptical. But hey, more power to ya!

So you are sticking to, only those protests that are anti-american are valid.

Looks like there is no need for a retraction on my part.

If you want to quote what people say, its preferable to use the /quote tags over the exact text so it doesn't look like you're making anything up on your own.

Well you said this protest was not valid because it was sponsered by the cia.


Or am i incorrectly reading what you said?

 

[0roo0roo]

seems pretty clear....

 

[Wheezer]

So basically these people have no need, want or desire to have thier own democracy? Why not?

Are you saying they are dumb? That the ONLY reason they are protesting is because we tell them to?

Or maybe, just maybe due to opportunites some have had in this country, they have been given the ability to go back to these countries and take with them the knowlege that they can make a change for the better IF they wish. They take back with them ideas that they liked and would like to see implimented where they live.

Sounds to me like you are short changing these people. just a thought.

How many should i need to post. If I did not post good news, no good news would be posted.

Sounds like your beef is with the administration . . . and the turrurrist . . .
