that's right. this is their culture. since, you know, it only takes a CNN article to understand a people's culture, of course. I mean, if I were to find a CNN article about American soldiers who raped Iraqi women and murdered families overseas, then obviously it would be the most accurate reflection of American culture.

kill the terrorists!!!! long live America!!!!!!!!!!

So it's okay to disrespect an entire nation simply because a segment of the population is batshit crazy?

This story is just pointing out what will get worse when the US eventually leaves.

What I'm saying is that a lot of people want the US out of the mid-east. In Iraq when the turmoil was flaming up between the different regions, a number of people were protesting the US staying, which would mean MORE of this type of stuff would have happened. Whether violence from the Taliban in Afghanistan, or Badr Brigade in Iraq, I don't have a problem with the US military helping out the local governments. Like in Iraq for example, members of the Badr Brigade were inserting drills into peoples brains while they were alive, and scrambling their brains and killing them slowly, and people were protesting at that time the US staying to help stop that. So it would have been more humane to leave at that point and let that happen over and over?

I have no problem with the US staying and trying to get the governments on two-feet, and help that government be somewhat stable. Obama is understanding this, which is why he still has them there.

Perhaps I chose a bad way to make that point, whether you agree with the point or not.

That's a possible 20-50 year mi$$ion you are willing to agree with. Is that really where you want to spend your money? How many other middle eastern countries do you want to invade and "help the people"? Because Iraq and Afghanistan certainly are not the only countries with inhumane practices. Do you even think about this shit before you type and post?

And the worst part about your logic is that none of it works. America invading these countries makes the violence worse amongst their own people. We are not helping them. Let's stay the fuck out of their world and concentrate on our own problems!!!

When a group of people continually poke a bear and hide among the innocent, who's fault is it when the innocents are then harmed?

Sounds like this came right out of the training manual. So,


--Who are the innocent when everyone is seen as the enemy?

--Where does a person hide when they're already home?

--We are the pokers, we don't announce our comings and going, so non-combatants suffer the consequences.

The term collateral damage simply removes the burden of their actions from them and places the blame on the enemy they were hunting. The fact that non-combatants were harmed or killed was due to those non-combatants being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

--It will never makes a difference if your a man, woman, or child, the bullet is always aimed at the enemy
