i bet for those of you who supported the "liberating machine" bush, now you feel dumb as...well someone who shouldn't be allowed to vote anymore
...your utter ignorance and support for the war effort only led to the death of many innocent people.
but it's ok...you people still get to sleep tight, and it's not like the rest of the world will give this event as much coverage as they did 9-11.
cause always and forever and american life is 10x more important than an Iraqi one.
heh...that's just disgusting.
And where are you from my friend?
The war only led to the death of innocent people? I don't really see how you can call the leaders of Iraq innocent. Sure some innocent people died and that's sad but it was a war and things like that happen. We did our best to prevent the death of innocent people but you can completely stop it from happening.
I guess we shouldn't have freed the Iraqis though. We should have let them suffer under a brutal dictator (so France and Germany could have their oil deals).
Still wondering how people are silly enough to claim the US "freed" the Iraqis unless your idea of freedom is being invaded, occupied, and controlled by a foreign army.
If we did our best to prevent deaths it wouldn't have involved shooting directly at them.
Granted they don't really have a lot of political freedom as of yet but they have 10 times the freedom of their neighbors (Syria, Saudi Arabia, & Iran). They will eventually have a democracy which is a lot better than the pathetic coucil they have now.
As for your other comment, I'm not sure exactly what you mean. If you're talking about intentionally shooting innocent Iraqis, could you provide a link?
You have some strange ideas of "freedom", it normally doesn't involve being occupied and controlled by a foriegn military. Are you thinking that none of the thousands of Iraqis that the US killed when they invaded were innocent?
They have the freedom to say what they want without the fear of being jailed or killed. The women have the freedom to not be raped in killed by people like Uday. And I'm guessing the Olympic team won't fear being beaten any more if they don't do so well in the Olympics. Those may not seem like much but it's just a start.
It's not like our military is going to be running the country forever. A stable democracy doesn't happen over night and it doesn't happen without help.
Of course some of the Iraqis we killed were innocent. That happens in war sometimes. It's still less than Saddam has killed.
You have your head buried in the sand or something? There's a freakin' serious rape problem
right now which I just read about a couple days ago.
Human Rights Watch said crimes against women have increased along with other crime since Saddam Hussein was ousted in early April.

Innocents are still being shot dead by our military, and their country is controlled by a
foreign army...so get of this ridiculous Iraqi Freedom BS. You've been duped.
and what the hell is this "it happens in war"?!?! Like I said, no sh!t captain obvious. We started a war and killed thousands of Iraqis, that's the problem.
