Alright, I admit, our officers and soldiers did a very very very stupid thing. But think about this now... Persident Bush *twitch* apoligized, and THAT is what seperates us from the Iraqis. Did they apoligize when the Americans they injured in some bombing (can't remember what one my dad said it was), dragged them to their deaths, and burned them? NO! THAT is what seperates us from the Iraqi government. Yeah, I understand, we made a stupid mistake, a very inhumane mistake, and they WILL be punished... but really, do you think the Iraqis weren't expecting it? And damn, I feel like I just went off topic and rambled... I'll just shut up now
In the UK there's a lot of things circling the media about these photos... Basically the soldiers are saying that they are fake, or the ones about the UK soldiers, because of the way their shoe laces are tied, they're not correctly tied as they are supposed to be or soemthing... Yeh...
Are you suprised that you're not seeing the truth in whole? [/b][/quote] Not at all Its their country and they have the right to fight against the invaders. Hell I would burn a ###### that tries to break into my house, so why wouldn't they fight back to the people that are breaking into their houses?
That just makes me sick! It makes me so ####### sick!! Holy ####! Bush's apology won't help. Those officers should be killed. That horrifies me that they'd do such a thing. No wonder they are attacking us!
Who would represent that? The little boy that was hitting our soldiers with shoes? :wth: [/b][/quote] No, Iraq's WOMD which were so obviously found.
And you think his apology is sincere? Bush knew about this a LONG time ago. If he's genuinely sorry, he would've apologized as soon as he learnt about it. And no, I wouldn't say we're better than the Iraqis. In fact, I'd probably say we're worse than Saddam and the insurgents put together. 1. Iraq didn't invite us over. We invited ourselves. If we're prepared to invade their territory, we should be prepared to take the consequences. I'm not saying the death of those US contractors is justified, but what else do you expect? For them to invite us into their homes with welcome arms and serve us tea? 2. No, the Iraqis didn't apologize. And you shouldn't expect them to. Because they're not the good guys. They're not even the "so-called" good guys. We are. We claim to be the "liberators", bringing freedom, peace and democracy to Iraq. Good guys don't go around torturing people. The death and mutilation of those US contractors really shocked me, but I wouldn't say it's out of the blue. If YOUR country had been bombed 24/7, if YOUR family and friends are being killed and cast off as "collateral damage", if it was YOU suffering from a lack of clean water, food, electricity, if it was YOU having foreigners in your country armed with guns and explosives, shoving you around or telling you what to do in your OWN home, you'd probably flip as well. What the Iraqis did to those contractors was vile, but let's just say this war has destroyed their soul completely. There's no humanity left in them, and it's all our fault.
