Has anybody ever received a thank you card from an Iraqi?

Question

Wouldn't it be nice if a school teacher there made a thank you card for all the kids to sign and send to some school kids in the attacking countries, expressing their gratitude? I'm sure the Iraqi people are just as gracious with their thanks as any other people, if they had something to be thankful for.

Answer 1

No I never received a card, but I did get a personal thank you from two Iraqi women that were visiting here in the states. Does that count?

What their two family's endured would crumble most to dust. The strength of the human spirit is amazing.

Answer 2

They have. You just don't see it because the press doesn't do stories of the common, the every day, the normal.

News is the strange, the weird, the unusual, which is why police, military, politicians are always in it when they do something bad. Not professional criminals, not everyday workers, not welfare recipients.

What's sad is that so many people are stupid enough not to realize that. They think the "NEWS" is reality and represents the status quo. It's idiocy, but that's the extent of their reality.

Compared to the general public, Catholic Priests have an incredibly low child abuse rate. Compared to the general public, police have an incredibly low criminal record. Compared to the public (which isn't having EVERY WORD examined), politicians are amazingly more honest than the average person.

These are easily checked, and I have done so in two of the above cases, the third just being too obvious to bother.

Why do YOU need one? You don't support the war or our country's efforts in the first place? Or is this just another way for you to be seditious?

Answer 3

I haven't received a thank you card from Iraq. Nor do I expect to. We have done horrible things to their country in the name of greed. This is not about terrorism. It is about global selfishness by well-established oil mongers who have known each other for a long period of time. Part of a much larger and sinister plan that simultaneously encourages a police state mentality.

Answer 4

I have been thanked by several Iraqi's..
Why would they just send thank you cards to regular American citizen's who do nothing but sit on their *** and eat cheetos while watching the bomb campaign at home..
Go their and give handouts to the kids, you should recieve some thank you's..
Of course that was at the beginning of the "war", things have changed since..

Answer 5

What the hell do the Iraqi's have to be thankful for?? Should they send us a card thanking us for the way we've destroyed their country, killed their innocent children and put them on the brink of civil war? Suuuuure. You just keep checking the mail, Ok big boy? Now crawl back into your hole, dummy.

Answer 6

I am sure there are some Iragis that are grateful and that is a nice idea, but doing so would probably get the teacher killed. That would be considered helping the enemy by some people who are against the American troops being in Iraq.

Answer 7

I have never heard of sending a thank you card for a thank card. Tell them next time you see them that the card wasn't really necessary but you appreciate it. Case closed.

Answer 8

During both tours in Iraq, I sent out thank you letters to at least 70% of the people who sent care packages out. I would have liked to send more, but you have to remember, we were a little busy.

Answer 9

George Bush received a 'thank you' card for killing tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi women and children while illegally invading another sovereign country that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the U.S.A.;
Also, more than 2,500 American families are sending Bush 'thank you' cards for killing their sons for no justifiable reasons other than Bush wanted to 'finish' what his old man 'started' and Dick Cheney wants all that OIL swimming underneath Iraq' sands;
And the 'detainees' who were physically, emotionally, verbally, psychologically and sexually abused are all sending 'thank you' cards' to Bush for being tortured without regard to the rules of the Geneva Convention;
Governments around the world are sending 'thank you' cards to Bush for scaring the bejesus out of them, forcing them to develop their own nuclear weapons of mass destruction as a defense against the plane'ts newest 'evil empire' - the United States of America;
American taxpayers are sending 'thank you' cards to Bush for lying to them, putting them trillions of dollars in debt, and turnign their country into a police state where they are presumed guilty until proven innocent;
The New York Times and other newspapers sent 'thank you' cards for leaking information to the press when it conveniently fit the Bush agenda, but trying to censure the press when something was published that Bush wanted to keep secret;
and the big oil companies sent 'thank you' cards, along with millions of dollars in campaign contribution to keep the GOP in power and allowing them to enjoy record profits as they keep on gouging the American consumer at the pumps.

yes...the 'thank you' cards are coming in from all over! -RKO-

Answer 10

They don't need to send us a Thank you card. Seeing the kids strive and mojority of the poeple happy with the fact that we are there is enough thanks for me. I am a combat vet who spent a year in Iraq. Trust me, seeing the smiles and the "thumbs up" that we received, is enough thanks for me.
