    Actually, he doesnt look dumb, just speaking the truth. Someone who's responsible for all these deaths deserves a big FU. I dont care if that person is dem or rep.


    Thank you. I dont care if it was a dem or rep. they would still get the same FU! Killing is not the answer. Its the easiest but not the right choice. It will take a bigger man to put the guns down. and also what ever happen to that guy.........waht was his name???????? Oh Bin thats his name...... wasnt he the one that order the attacks on 911??????? I guess he is bunking up with Bush at the white house.

    ...
    I have a question for you...
    I works at a major corporation that builds defense and weapons systems... I am not in the military... I am a civilian.
    If Al Qaeda attacks my company and I die... am I an innocent civilian or enemy combatant?
    ...
    Follow-on... when the U.S. military targeted Hussein's industrial complexes... the ones suspected of weapons research, development and manufacturing... were those workers innocent civilians or enemy combatants?
    ...
    What is the difference between me, working here... and the computer geek who was working in Baghdad?

    If you intentionally start a war where, no matter how hard you try, you know civillians will be killed then, yeah, you kind of intentionally attack civillians. It's called war - and long gone are the days when wars are fought by opposing lines on an open field.

    Couldn't agree with you more. Now that that's established, who is to blame for that shift? Who hides behind civilians in this new warfare? Clue: it's not the US.

    you are contradicting yourself. you dont want to stay the course but you want to stay and get iraq on their feet.

    I believe "staying the course" and getting Iraq back on their feet is one in the same.

    Keep in mind, i'm not here to cheerlead bush, I want some honest opinions on what to do NOW. we cant go back and change what happen. bashing bush doesnt solve the problem.
    I disagree..."staying the course" is an open ended, no-win type of a plan. And so far, as far as anyone can tell....the course we have been on is a failing course. We are hardly making any progress in the war on terror. We need a new strategy and new leadership to get us there.

    You saw what we did to Baghdad. Either the administration was unaware that millions of civilians live in Baghdad (which, now that I think of it, wouldn't be all that surprising in light of the many other things this administration apparently does not know), or we targeted civilians. Perhaps we didn't go in with the thought of "Hey, lets go kill us some innocent bystanders!" but with the weapons that were used there was no doubt that many civilians would be injured or killed. And we did it anyway ... deliberately, even though no one in Iraq had attacked us or threatened to.

    Americans are worse for starting the war. Cause and effect. We invaded their country and now all hell has broken loose.

    so since america started the war, filling a car with bombs and setting it off in a public market is justified?

    Whether they would have been bombing and killing if we hadn't gone into Iraq is irrelevant, in my opinion. I still place the blame squarely on those engaged in the bombing and killing. That's the difference (one of many) between you and I.
    So, the fact that we forced Iraq into a state of unrest with terrorist cells and terrorist groups forming with little to no resistance, when they couldn't under Saddam's control, is not our fault? Really, you believe that? You think we have no responsibility at all for making Iraq the breeding ground for terrorist that it is today?

    well according to bush, not me, there was a significant threat.

    We started the war, thereby creating the conditions that have enabled Al Qaeda and the like to terrorize the civilian population. Comparing a world superpower to a band of fanatic thugs is sort of silly, so I'm not going to say which is "better" or "worse," but I will say that what we did was pretty damn bad.

    I don't know if our government is "worse" per say, but we certainly are to blame for invading a country that had nothing to do with the war on terror....and then due to that, it has caused said country to be a breeding ground for terrorist cells and terrorist groups.

    According to Bush, there were WMDs and looming mushroom clouds too, and we were going to get Osama dead or alive, and blah blah blah. You don't honestly believe a word he says anymore, do you?

    I believe that changed with the advent of modern warfare; when population centers, commerce and industry, were considered strategic targets. That goes back long before the start of this war. In fact, wars always target civilians - and have for a very long time.

    Bush created this mess when he invaded Iraq. He created the breeding ground. Its his fault for all the deaths! Deaths of soliders and inocent people. He is the reason! CAUSE AND EFFECT!
