Darius11 12 #101 July 26, 2007 QuoteA worthy sentiment, Bill, but it ignores the fact that the islamo-fascist whackos who are trying to kill us don't have reason in their lexicon, only blind hatred, madness, and bloody-mindedness that not only will not listen to reason, but left it behind centuries ago. This could be a very good self-description for you. You are not exactly listening to reason and every post you ever make is filled blind hatred for Muslims. It is stupid to think that years of our presence, and influence not to mention all the bombing and killing we have done in the region has less effect on how the middle east feels about us, then are freedoms. Simple logic my friend. You kill my kid I am going to hate you a lot more then if you watching the simple life or MTVI'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darius11 12 #103 July 26, 2007 Quote"Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years. We've been in the Middle East. I think Reagan was right: we don't understand the irrationality of Middle-Eastern politics. So right now, we're building an embassy in Iraq that's bigger than the Vatican, we're building 14 permanent bases. What would we say here if China was doing this in our country or in the Gulf of Mexico? We would be objecting. We need to look at what we do from the perspective of what would happen if somebody else did it to us........ ...I believe very sincerely that the CIA is correct when they teach and talk about blowback. When we went into Iran in 1953 and installed the Shah, yes, there was blowback. The reaction to that was the taking of our hostages. And that persists. And if we ignore that, we ignore that at our own risk. If we think that we can do what we want around the world and not incite hatred, then we have a problem. They don't come here to attack us because we're rich and we're free. They come and they attack us because we're over there. I mean, what would we think if other foreign countries were doing that to us?" You know it is so refreshing to see someone actually talk about a simple concept. Do on to others, as you want done to you. We argue here back and forth and it seems it always gets back to this. For some reason some people on here think this rule does not apply to us, and any mention of the horrible things we have done brands you a traitor. What should happen to us for the horrible things we have done? Should we always be forgiven when we are unwanted guests. You know what fuck all the questions just tell me this. What would we do if any of the countries in the Middle East had a base in the US? What would we do if there war ships of the shore in international waters 200 miles out of every major city in the US? Why is so hard to understand that we are hated because of are actions.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darius11 12 #104 July 26, 2007 As a Muslim who spent half of his life in Iran and has heard how people are pissed that the us has war ship with guns pointing at there homes and schools I believe I might have a less manufactured view of how people in the region feel. I have never heard anyone express hate for the American people but for the actions of the US government. As you can see in the other post simple logic. How would we react if someone treated us the way we treat them?

Royd 0 #105 July 26, 2007 QuoteSo we invaded Iraq to depose Saddam in order to reduce terrorism in Europe? We should have taken him out the first time that we went in, but we didn't. He could still be sitting up in one of his palaces today if he hadn't been such a megalomaniac. His ego wouldn't allow him to submit to wide open inspections, so he paid the price.

freethefly 6 #109 July 26, 2007 Quotewho are trying to kill us don't have reason in their lexicon, only blind hatred, madness, and bloody-mindedness that not only will not listen to reason, And that is exactly what the government told us about those godless Russians! The Russians are coming!, The Russians are coming!, The Russians are coming! Chain of events since 9-11. U.S, attacks the Taliban in Afghanistan for harboring Osama Bin Laden. U.S. goes full bore then hands the job over to tribal warlords. Bin Laden escapes U.S. invades Iraq claiming that Saddam was on the verge of attacking U.S. soil with weapons of mass destruction. Bin Laden is a happy man U.S. goes full bore into Iraq Binny kicks back and laughs is ass off (it was reported that surgeons in Pakistan reattached it promptly. Musharraf sends a get well soon gift). Bush administration claims "Mission Complete" shortly after the invasion. Doctors in Pakistan sedate Bin Laden to keep him from laughing newly attached ass off. Poppy farms and herion production goes into full swing in Afghanistan. Bin Laden relaxing comfortably in a safe place. U.S. stuck in a quagmire. Bin Laden able to use Iraq to recruit more for his cause. Many Americans and innocent Iraqis now dead with many more deaths to come. Bin Ladens ideology spreads U.S. all but ignores the growing turmoil in Afghanistan. The American people have had enough. Presidents approval rating at 28% 80% of the Iraqi people want the U.S. out President ignores logic and reason Bin Laden is one happy man"...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

They make other people go out into the field to do their dirty work. There's plenty of government officials in Iraq and elsewhere in the region. The difference is that they're harder to capture than unarmed reporters. And if you want to claim that reporters are doing the work of the US - well the other side is going to help that situation by killing the reporters instead of talking to them. --- No matter, the reasons given for the other side's actions are an excuse, not a reason. Like WMDs. The leadership/power there needs the people to have an enemy besides the incredible wealth disparity and crappy living conditions. It's like Medevil Europe, where wars kept the number of inheriting sons in check. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

juanesky 0 #115 July 27, 2007 Yes, he has been in Iraq, he knows better. I am pretty sure he knows that Mahdi army, Sunnis, Iran intell officials, AlQaida, Baath party officials there are not killing, raping, beheading innocent civilians.I have been in roads that, never mind. facts are not needed for this type of reasoning.Neither the fact that most wrongdoing by any us service member will be brough to US justice is irrelevant, while people who are islamo facists and bent in killing innocents, will only get praised.

I don’t believe any president of a Muslim country praised the beheadings or gave a direct order to cut the reporter’s head off. Some crazy extremist I am sure you can find that.
