![]() wrote in message ink.net... Instead it killed an American Civilian... A man in Iraq for no other reason than to help rebuild, to make life better for Iraqi people... No, the Iraqi didn't kill him, he was killed by the real enemy, the ones we are supposed to be at war with... He was killed by al-Qaida... An American killed, his head cut off. His body left alongside a bridge in Baghdad. Saved 1 American life... No, it caused an innocent to die. Which pictures caused the four guys to be hacked up in Fallujah? Which pictures caused Daniel Pearl's head to be cut off? Those events happened long before the Abu Ghraib incident. You're a jackass if you think the Abu Ghraib pics caused Nick Berg's death. Radical Muslims want us dead. The argument that our troop's actions are creating new radical fundamentalists each day is ridiculous. If Islam is a peace-loving religion, a few hundred pics of naked Iraqis isn't going to turn the moderates into radicals. There are no moderate, peace-loving Muslims...which makes it easy to decide who gets bombed next. |

So you love President George Bush because he is leading the U.S. step by step into a holy war to exterminate all Muslims? That'll make a great Republican campaign plank. DSK |

It is a pretty easily verifiable fact. Whooosh! You obviously missed the point. A *peaceful* Muslim doesn't become a cold-blooded suicide bomber because of a few pictures of naked Iraqis. America's actions are simply exposing the sleeper groups of radicals who have been posing as "moderates". Did you notice how very few "moderate" Muslim clerics denounced the killing of Berg? ...

The Crusades in the 11th, 12th, and 13th century were preceded by Mohammed's persecution of infidels. Remember that we didn't start this war. |

I hope that you and your fellow Bush cheerleaders go around shouting this from rooftops. Don't be afraid to tell the truth! ... Remember that we didn't start this war. I agree, "we" didn't. Dick Cheney started it so that his clique of military contractors, headed by Halliburton, would reap enormous profits (Halliburton profits up something like 600% last year, check the news). If you are talking about the war on terrorism, I'd agree again. But invading Iraq is not about terrorism, and actually has weakened the US tremendously. It's all about oil, as you pointed out yesterday. DSK |

"But the Syrians thought it would compensate for all their other games with Iraq and the Palestinian terror organizations, and it doesn't." |

![]() I agree, "we" didn't. Dick Cheney started it so that his clique of military contractors, headed by Halliburton, would reap enormous profits (Halliburton profits up something like 600% last year, check the news). RANT ON! DO you really believe this? That a senior official of ANY administration would jeopardize their position and livelyhood by starting a war that has no preordained outcome. That by going into it, they would anatagonize about 50% of the population and cause the LeftMedia to attack him/her at every opportunity Cheny is a rich man, he had the wherewithall, perserverence and intelligence to succeed in the upper echelons of big business. This is bad? I thought that was the American dream!!! If you had 10M, 50M, 100M, would you volunteer to serve your country or just retire to the islands and hope the jihad doesn't come there?. He does not need more profits from Hal and neither do most of the other principles and I don't want to here about the mistreated workers, they are making a very good wage. That does not mean that they won't take those profits. Would you give back legally earned money? Believing that this is about the admin trying to enrich their coffers is really out there. Don't you know, the Republicans have all the money and tax breaks, so they don't really need it. |
