Every death of every Iraqi civilian non-combatant is murder.

[cali]

Whether it's Americans who do the shooting and bombing or not. And every death is attributable to the American invasion and and ongoing war.

That's my opinion.

1. I have to agree...

Soldiers understand they are expendable... civilians take no oath of service, are not soldiers, and are not part of the hideous game we call "war."

I hate killing, period. We should have evolved past this already.

2. Why is it different for an 18 year old Iraqi conscript who had a Tomahawk cruise missile ..

... land on him in his sleep during the first night of Shock and Awe? Didn't he have a family that loves and cares about him? What was he guilty of?

Reverse the situation and make that my son and I would consider that murder. And I would seek revenge too.

3. We should hold the commander of the US Armed forces responsible for this.

Oh... wait. :hide:

4. I wonder......

If a foreign government invaded this country, maimed or killed tens of thousands of our citizens, tortured our citizens, used White Phosphorus, raided our homes and held us at gunpoint, watched over the destruction of the Smithsonian, changed our currency, set up a puppet government, interfered with our elections, brought in their military to "train" our police force, killed our journalists, took over some of our television stations, set up "checkpoints" where some of us were shot, bombed our cities, bombed our houses, killed our national leader and some of his family then put the corpses on display, etc., etc., etc., what would we do?

Although many of our soldiers did the best they could under very difficult circumstances, the lying president who sent them to Iraq knew nothing...absolutely nothing...about the people or the culture he ordered invaded. AWOL Bush, after a life of leisure and privilege, manipulated America`s fear, connected Saddam with 9/11 and sent thousands of young people to do what he refused to do during the Vietnam War. The end results are not yet known, but I`d be willing to bet we have more enemies now than we had before Bush donned that flight suit and declared his mission accomplished.

Now a good chunk of America thinks torture is good and Muslim is bad. Hence, the recently released murder video includes a haunting, sickening...light `em up...mindset. We`ll pay for this and other atrocities for decades to come.
