are Iraqi's stupid or what?

They are making themslves out to be fools, not me my friend. Anyone that fills a car with bombs and parks it at a food market and kills little children and families ON PURPOSE is not someone i NEED to understand. He is just an idiot. especially after 3 years of fighting for freedom for these people, so please dont tell me what i do and dont know, I SEE IT ON TV EVERYDAY.

You're the man cliff!!!! Some Iraqis were still blinded of what it meant to be free!!!!

It is interesting how what we see on t.v. is something we take as gospel truth and the whole story. lol. T.V. the new Bible. You said that people who put car bombs in front of markets and kill children are people you don't "need" to understand. Maybe your choice of words was wrong, or maybe you are just wrong. But, never the less your statement is the most illogical thing I've heard all day. If someone is out there killing our children that is EXACTLY the type of person you NEED to UNDERSTAND! If we are to defeat a strong enemy than we MUST understand that enemy. If we do not understand then we rely on luck to win. I disagree totally with what these people are doing. But, I'm also a student of the canons of war. I know for a fact that it is stupidest thing in the world to go into battle without wanting to understand your enemy. For those who are not out there fighting the battle directly it is our responsibility to understand why these people do what they do. With that understanding we can be sure to provide any assistance we can to improve things on the home front. There are people in this country being harassed even though they are OBVIOUSLY innocent. But they are harassed because of their nationality. Worst of all this harassment goes on in our own country, a county founded on the principles of equality. Yet, it isn't out of character for our own country to be discriminatory. Discrimination is at the heart of the problem and only when we as a nation are free of this will we be able to contribute to bring its end. This war that we decided to go into, I agree that something needed to be done when the Twin towers were bombed. But, what was done was not done properly. That is why the people of Iraq are doing as they are. Of course it is their fault as much if not more than our own. You can not go to someone punch them in the nose and expect them to thank you. Even if you were doing the right thing by punching them, and even if you are just retaliating. You can not expect a nation that has pain and suffering that has lasted for over centuries, and is as deep as theirs to be overcome overnight. Finally, what you see on t.v., it is funny that you take that crap as truth and the whole story. Seek out alternate news sources on the net. Find people who live closer to that actual war who can give you more direct news. Don't just believe what you’re told. And, do you even know anything about their culture? Educate yourself.

thank you, i so wish for peace, i pray it happens in iraq this next year.

hopefully they calm down, but i am getting tired of seeing my american soldiers getting killed. in the meantime, having to listen to criticism from other countries that have done nothing to help anyone, anywhere, anytime.

do you have any idea of saddam's crimes?? look it up on the internet, then get back to me.

thanks for your sense of humor!!!

i agree, they really dont know how lucky they are... what is happenning is that some of their local tribal leaders have become star struck by the possibility of power... and of Al Queda is involved. i believe then need to be disarmed, where are they getting the bombs?

what you say is not true at all, it is what you may wish. But Saddam had signed a peace agreement from the first gulf war. he did not keep his side of the agreememnt. either way a Preemptive Strike is always an option for any nation.

so... you would rather that the Iraq people NOT control their own country?.. if you believe that then yes the war is purposeless i guess.

because their religion has got them nothing but pain... sorryy if the truth bothers you.

very true, my friend.

yes it is, but listening to their mullahs,and other violent groups has got them into worse trouble.

yes i hope they do, most normal people are hoping for this. I dont mean to say ALL the iraqis are stupid, but they are being duped by greedy leaders from differing groups.
