The home page [http://www.alyaum.com/](http://www.alyaum.com/) is all in Arabic, no idea what’s going on here, other than the OP has obvious issues with the recent Iraq war. Going to the last link, the Robert Fisk site, it has this disclaimer: > [@](#): > > Pictures of Destruction and Civilian Victims of the Anglo-American Aggression in Iraq (From March, 2003 onwards). > > Please note that some of these pictures are not suitable for small children and those who have weak hearts. Please note that the following pictures are only a very tiny fraction of the thousands of Civilian Victims who have been terrorised, humiliated, injured and killed through British and American Bombing of civilian areas in various cities of Iraq. Due to continuous bombings, independent reporters could not and still can not reach many areas to photograph or report the damage. We kindly request Reporters and Individuals to send us pictures for inclusion on these pages. But ya know, I looked at every one of those pix, and they’re all just pictures of regular people–people walking, people sleeping, people with their hands raised being arrested, a shot of three shrouded bodies in coffins, a shot of a man weeping, and overall, except for one pic of a guy with the bandaged stump of an amputated arm (and the fact that he was flashing a “peace” sign at the camera with his other hand tended to detract from the “shock value”), there wasn’t a thing in there I’d mind if my 12-year-old daughter saw. ---

So, Inssanah, welcome to the Straight Dope Message Board. I notice from a quick Google search that you, or somebody with your same posting style, has been posting to another vBulletin board with much the same content. Here in the Comments area, it’s customary to provide a link to the column you’re referring to. Which one would that be, exactly? Regarding, “Is that all u could come up with?!”, do you have a cite for how that man was injured? Is he an Iraqi or an American soldier? When and where was that picture taken? Are those people with their arms in the air being chased or shot, or are they waving “hello” to the people who have liberated their country? Could you provide a little context for your pictures so we have something we can comment upon? We can’t respond to your questions when they’re so vague, other than in the way DDG did above. “Blue! How about that, huh?” Not too helpful, see? ---

Well, I want to read thoughtful commentary written in grammatically correct (or near so) English. I also find all cap letters to be really annoying as a posting style. But I’m wenchy like that. So what’s the question here? ---

Unsubstantiated rhetoric, shouting, and grammatical cues taken from the back of an old Prince album. If you are aiming for self-parody, well done! ---

Be nice, guys- it looks like she/he’s from Saudi Arabia (KSA= Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and I doubt English is his/her first language. Plus, she/he clearly feels pretty strongly about this. A thorough SDMB-style mocking for bad grammar certainly isn’t the first impression _I’d_ want to give him/her of our infidel message board. 😃 😉 ---

I’m sorry, I’m really not a horrible horrible person but I feel like one for saying this: When I first saw picture #7, the caption that popped into my head was: “Hey, can I get one quarter pounder with cheese? And make it to go!” ::slinks back into her hole in the wall:: ---

XJETGIRLX… that was horrible… I went back to the pic and couldn’t stop myself from laughing… I think I snorted… lol… ok, about the OP… a picture is worth at least 1000 words… but can tell many different stories… none of us know exactly what was going on over there… ---

Hey,\*\* Inssanah \*\* I recommend that you read several threads on this board, and get famaliar with the thoughts of it’s posters. You will find, that it is a diverse board. There are people who rabidly support G.W. Bush and the war, there are just as many people who are against the war. There are people of many different cultures and lifestyles here, and they all have something to say. They are from many countries as well. Why don’t you come back here after you are done with the assignment, and see why I say you are being kinda silly in my opinion. You assumed that everyone here on this board was from the United States of America. Untrue. Coldfire is in Amsterdam. You assumed that everyone that posts here is pro-war. Again, untrue. I think maybe, if you take the time to look around and get to know this place, you might find you kinda like it and decide to stay. You’ll have to behave yourself, and follow the rules of course… ---

My guess is we aren’t going to hear from **Inssanah** again. When you consider that she posted the same thing to another messgae board at the same time my guess is this is a hit and run. Sort of a rant at the infidels and all. Of course I hope she proves me wrong but I doubt it. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-this-what-u-want-be-honest/170621.md?page=2)
