Follows that the US army has no right or reason or whatever to bomb anything in Iraq or wound or kill anyone in Iraq.
If there was “information” on whatever, the normal procedure is **investigate information on its veracity **instead of going on an ego trip for killing more then 40 people and flattening a village. But that is of course going right against the disgusting arrogant Rambo mentality. Wake up call: This is NOT a Hollywood movie.
This is about real people getting really blown to pieces by the thousands since the USA crossed that border. Do you want some links to pictures about what that means in bloodshed and horror?
If there are foreigners in Iraq who join the Iraqis in their fight to end this occupation of their nation then that is between these foreigners and the Iraqis.
If there are real outside based terrorist organisations now infiltrated and working in Iraq that is thanks to the lunatical arrogance of the USA to invade and occupy that sovereign nation and that is only the igniting cause. The unbelievable stupidities comitted by every single one of the completely ignorant US’ers running the show since then only added and adds to that.
Besides that: the USA was informed since decades about the presence of what they classify under “terrorists” in the “no fly zone” they enforced without UN support.
Besides that: the USA has incorporated in their so called “Iraqi security forces” Kurdish militias who take that as the best of opportunities to deal with whatever personal grievances they have with the local populations (mostly sunni and mostly Arabs).
For your information: After the unbelievable stupidity for getting a US tank crushing a mosque door and entering the place, bringing US soldiers on holy ground for killing several people inside, seriously damaging the building and causing outrage among the population there the tomb of 'Ali is now seriously damaged.
If this escalates even one shred further “you ain’t seen nothing yet” indeed.
Let me add that thanks to the USA we see here all over the MENA region the lunatics who preach Jihad (and whatever they can invent to recrute for their madness) in a state of constant delirium.
Note to Uzi : May I suggest to come back again when you are sober. You must have been in a state of delirium for being so completely out of touch with reality.

All this talk about the Iraqis having a tradition of firing off guns to celebrate weddings and that we shouldn’t interfere with their traditions makes me think…
‘Western’ societies have an equally long tradition of invading other nations to gain natural resources or expand empires or what have you. Why shouldn’t we be allowed to continue our traditions just as much as other societies?
Traditions are all well and nice, but we’d be stuck back in the dark ages if we didn’t change them from time to time. If people really feel the necessity to celebrate weddings with gun fire, I think it would be prudent of them to buy blanks and avoid tragedy. For all of A.'s talk of some guy planning where the shots are to be fired all it takes is one person to slip, get bumped, sneeze, etc. and it goes from a celebration to a mourning.
I don’t drink. And not because of some fanciful belief in sky pixies telling me otherwise, either.
I think you should stop smoking crack, though, if you think that Iraq belonged to anyone but Saddam and his cronies. And it would still belong to them, and no one else, if he had remained in power. The difference is that the Coalition WILL leave eventually and it will be up to the Iraqis as to whether one guy owns everything again, or not.
I dunno, maybe you think that some local store owner would have taken Saddam to court to defend his right to keep his store in the location that Saddam was building his next palace. Yep, that would have happened :rolleyes: .
