I love how you trot out the fact that saddam gassed his own people.
as if you believe that is the reason why our troops are in iraq.
- mrdobolina0
nice dodge, question.

I'm begining to suspect that if you can't think of an answer you just ignore the question. And I almost thought you were genuine and with an interesting insight into Iraq that no-one else here has.

do the events at haditha make you proud, question?

skt stfu. I already explained that my borthers wife is Iraqi so obviously I travelled with them and had no need for an outside translator. get lost. I am not biting your bait man.

kuz, i apologize. That was out of line.
mrdobolina, what you get with his removal is at the very least, disorganization. Temporary weakness in the chain of command and direction. A weakening which could open the door for team amerkah to make significant headway.

I dont like the guy, but a twinge of morality goes down my spine when Blair says "it's good he's dead".
There was no reason to go to war with Iraq, and the resulting mayhem has to be attributed in part to that.
The problem with Iraq is that it stops us sorting out the other countries that really are going really be a problem soon. Iran, N.Korea, Eygpt, Somalia, Indonesia etc.

the analogy isn't so far off the truth though bombadil, with this guy dead, another guy will step up and continue his work. I'm quite pleased on a human level that he has personally bitten the dust, but it makes little difference to the situation ultimately.

(Jun 8 06, 06:38)The problem with this statement is you imply then that nothing should be done.

Do I? I don't think so, you may find that that is your interpretation.

If that's not the case then you offer no alternative solution. Pointing out the obvious deflates his death being an accomplishment for the better.

That is my point though, "the better" is the bone of contention here. If someone else simply carries on his work, then its not much better is it? There is no contradiction whatsoever in not sheding a tear for this guys death, and not seeing what a great achievement it is or what great change it will create.I don't know if you have really been to Iraq to witness this situation yourself or not, but I do know a very old, very close friend who has, and has been regularly mortar bombed for his trouble (and paycheque).
His views on this are really pretty far from yours, I'm sure he's celebrating this guys death,but I'm also sure he still knows, without a doubt, that the military ocupation is futile and only making things worse (as he told me).
remember its not just americans who are being killed in that country, mate. You don't have a monopoly on that.

(Jun 8 06, 06:48)How old are you question? I'm guessing 15 tops.
Making up stories and telling them to people on the internet you don't know puts you at about that age.
Would you not be better in a chatroom somewhere repeating asl at people, you never know, a fat trucker called sexycandy14 might give you a cyber.

my only problemo is that i'm a bum and i been going out solid last couple of weeks and i'm such a bum and if i come i can never afford to buy the round and i'm all ashamed of myself as soda digs into his pockets and i hate that so that's why.
