what sort of foul conditions does it take to produce such a sorry specimen as the one that said this ? just how debased and devalued an individual do you have to be to think one life is worth more than another. somebody should send this pos to iraq and watch him cower like the heartless bitch that he is.


The foul condition you speak of is war. There is actually one going on now, if you haven't heard. The goal of war, in case you did not know is not to die for what you believe in, but rather to make the enemy die for what he believes in.

Some people that are not directly involved in the physical realm of the battlefield tend to support one side or the other of these opposing beliefs, whatever they might be.

To question the commitment of these people by asking them to position themselves on the battlefield and support their views is a valid method.

Being dramatic and conducting personal attacks is not, :roll: But if that is what it takes to make you feel like your view is valid, and it helps you sleep better at night, then, by all means, carry on....:p


Thats all fine and dandy[snip the rest of the propaganda]


Ayup...

HAhahaha - nice try but it seems you are the one that doesn't understand the history of the situation. But it's nice to see you've hit the point of desperation by trotting out that old tired line.:p

No, the truth is never tired or old, but your line is. Not only is your information intentionally misleading - it's irrelevant. Because you support someone at one point does NOT mean you always have to support them or can't act against them. So again, nice try but it's you who needs to read up on it before yapping.

Nope.

What you said would have some merit if their targets weren't their own people and their own infrastructure. Remember, collateral damage is unintended damage - theirs is purposeful destruction and killing. If you liken random bombing and suicide attacks as "collateral damage" then I'm not sure what to say. What was their "intended" target? their goal? To give the terrorist sympathizers something to cheer back here? In that context then - you'd be right.

CsG

like i said, when innocent iraqis are killed, they could chalk it up to collateral damage when their target are american GI's and forces, but when they actually target the iraqis, they could be chalking it up to the attackers as being patriots, or revolutionaries, and the victims as being the british loyalists.

Sure, but is that what they are doing when they blow up oil pipelines or run car bombs into busy streets? No. Is that what they are doing when they fire on us from crowds?

No, their actions are nothing like those of our forefathers and it is disgusting that you or others would insinuate that to be true. We are not Iraq's government they are fighting against. They are fighting against having their own gov't. If these so-called "freedom fighters" were really that - they'd have done so against Saddam(which some tried to do and were destroyed for it - and I'm sad we didn't act at that time)

CsG

how is attacking oil pipelines different from throwing tea overboard? also, the patriots DID sabotage supplies that were being sent to england

as far as shooting at troops from crowds, we had sharpshooters that would pick off officers in the red coat army.

as far as car bombs, this is harder to explain, but it could be likened to patriot attacks on loyalist towns


btw, i'm not defending the insurgents in iraq, i'm posing a different way of thinking about what they are doing, because too many americans just think of it as good (us) vs bad (them)

For one, do you have any idea what the Boston Tea Party was about or against? Not similar to blowing up oil pipelines.

Yes, we had sharpshooters- did they use innocent civilians to hid behind? sharpshooters!= firing from crowds. Next...

No, you can keep trying to liken the two but the premise is faulty from the start. I understand(albeit disgustedly) your quest to play terrorist apologist but to liken the two things doesn't work. If these people were fighting for their freedom - then why aren't they embracing it? They have a chance to choose their own gov't - yet fight against those that are working towards that goal.

If you really aren't trying to defend the "insurgents" - then stop. The "different way of thinking" you offer is close to defending as you can get without openly stating you agree with them.
Yes, it is us vs those who are opposing the freedom of the Iraqi people. It really is that simple - unless you think their actions are working towards the freedom for Iraqis to choose their own government.

the fact of the matter is that the insurgents are *evil* people with no good intentions. We, on the otherhand, have good intentions, but sometimes things happen that we don't intend. You can keep defending the terrorists, I hope it makes you sleep better at night knowing they are killing fellow Americans and innocent Iraqi civilians for no good reason at all.

What it means is this; the USA uses regimes run by despots when it suits their needs, then they attack those same nations when their needs change. The problem is, there is a cynical use of humanitarian excuses to effect regime change when all the while we were supporting those regimes they were doing the same things we attack them for now.

Very hypocritical, especially in light of the fact that the USA was perpetuating the same abuse and torture as Saddam for instance in Abu Ghraib. Or killing tens of thousands of civilians based on an unprovoked invasion or Iraq. But the irony is lost on you because you refuse to believe what is right in front of your eyes. Choosing to believe the Bush propaganda instead.

It was just a few bad apples at Abu Ghraib. The 100,000 dead Iraqi civilians were just collateral damage.

Right. :roll:

I didn't see any guns next to the dead babies & children. Nothing, absolutely nothing, justifies killing babies & children in my book. That is blasphemy.

Freedom on the march? Compassionate conservatism? Nothing but hypocrisy.

I guess by BOBDN logic we should not have retaliatd against Bin laden and Al Quesda after 9/11.

BTW those of you who are spewing on about 100k dead Iraqi civilians need to put up some solid evidence or shut up.

It's good, I think, for people to see both sides dead and maimed, because afterall that's what they're doing. Sometimes it's necessary, but it's important for people to keep that close to their heart (the deaths and destruction), think about what if that was a family member, etc. Most of us, myself included, think little of the fact that other people on the planet are being killed all the time.

Stop being a paranoid hillbilly, Chirac or Hillary are not the leaders of some massive worldwide communist network to kill you and all your fellow "true" americans. That goes especially for you ntdz! I can't even see why you mention Chirac...

I think that people should be forced to view this. And Bush and people that voted for him should be forced to view the uncleaned corpse of every american soldier. That would help i'm sure.

Wow. The depth and breadth of your reply is breathtaking. No really it is really quite astonishing. Especially since later on in the thread she writes, " I'm flattered you are so lacking in creativity . . . ". Talk about your irony.

Care to address the point or are you just going to keep trolling around, baaaaing out your mating call?
