have never occurred in the history of the United States.
As far as I remember, the United States had an extremely violent, and
bloody history, with Americans being guilty of mass genocide and savage
murders against unarmed women and children.
If you dispute that I can find several examples during the civil war,
and during the systematic destruction of the indigenous people that
lived in what is now known as the United States.
Blame your president for taking unilateral action against Iraq under
false pretenses, and having no plan for managing and controlling the
country afterward apart from the oilfields.
But please don't imply that the Iraqis are worse than any other country,
including your own with regards to rioting, or violence during its
period of 'nation building'. And please don't imply that after America
attacked Iraq that it does not have a responsibility to follow through
on its promises and support the country and engage in "Nation Building"
as Powel put it. Or was that all a bunch of sh**?
Perhaps someone living on a little Caribbean island can look on with
utter shock and horror, and may even legitimately be able to say our
citizens never acted thus and reach a (in my view false ) conclusion
that the Iraqis in general are subhuman and not worthy of any support or
assistance.
But America? Please. America certainly isn't a stranger to such horrific
acts on the way to its present equilibrium.
Pick up a US history book. It is doubly different to attempt to
understand another society, if you don't even know where your own came
from.

you are correct...thanks for the info.
sure it is.
i guess that means that it wont happen again. and there wont be dancing
in
the streets in the West Bank when the next 9-11 happens.
Oil may have been the primary motivation, and it also looked like the
people
there were perfectly content to live the rest of their lives in fear of
him,
why should we have taken them away from that happiness?
Remind me again why we even cared to free them from Sadam?

I know it is generalizing, but i cant find in the article where it says
that
anyone tried to stop this. so to me it looks like the people of Iraq get
off
on desecrating corpses. hmmm, these are the same people who decry
American
anti-arab sentiment....I wonder freaking why that is?
Does anyone have any information where mobs of americans have done this
to
anyone, ever?
