I think you could compare the way the Iraqis live, and perhaps their
belief systems to the 18th or 19th century yes.
In many parts of the middle east there are 'slaves', there are brutal
draconian laws and there is the same myopic views that existed in the
time of the domination of the old catholic church.
Others have already given examples of your precious, righteous and holy
Americans acting in similar ways. Not that it will make a difference, as
I'm sure you will then launch into some disingenuous argument about
'degrees' of barbarism.
And 'whether the conclusion is illogical or not makes no difference'?
So you're quite content with spewing torrents of jingoistic effluent
with no care or time taken to analyse the validity of your statements?
Interesting.
Do you even know that Fallujah is practically in the center of a region
replete with anti-american sentiment in Iraq?
No, you probably don't. Yet you feel qualified to make bigoted
statements about Iraqis in general with comical authority.
Doh study it John, America is the milk of human kindness and goodness
out to save the world one nation at a time.
All hail Caesar.
All roads lead to the US.

No it's not. Someone can say, gee look at the way those Iraqi people are
acting. That's wrong and WE dont act that way. Whether the conclusion
is
illogical or not makes no difference, at least to me.
Ergo my suggestion to consult your history books on the barbarism that
occurred in what is now known as the US during those times.
Do you deny such heinous acts occurred?
Never denied that anything bad happened in my own country's past. It
has,
but again that was in the 18th and 19th century, when it was also okay
to
own other human beings and beat your wife with a stick. I even asked for
instances that people could show me of americans acting that way.
