How can any of you not support the soldiers in Iraq? Have you forgotten what they are fighting for? US!! The people of this great nation, YOU AND ME, and our children and our way of life. How could anyone dishonor them by speaking out against it? They know what they are fighting for and we ALL owe it to support them. Have you forgotten some of the things they have done? I watched in horror as a living, breathing human being had his head cut off with a GODDAMN KNIFE!!! OUTRAEGOUS!!! They are not human, they are pure evil and must be defeated by any means necessary and peace must be taught to a people that have been taught nothing but violence and hate. Support our troops and our President, they are fighting for YOU!!! Don't be so quick to forget that given the chance, the people we are fighting would not hesitate to murder you or your family. Think about that the next time you hear about the War On Terror.

By the way, I am not talking about just Iraqi's because it is not Iraqui's we are fighting but terrorists, the same people that have been commiting atroucius acts in middle eastern countries and elsewhere.

Drumfly, I'm not sure I agree with the conveniance store or neigbor remark as a lot of Arab Americans are good, respecting people and deserve to be here, but the rest of your answer was dead on!

OK dumb *** lets go thru you asinine paragraph.first off i do oppose the war in Iraq but i do support our troops. they are fighting because when you get sworn into the service you have to follow orders.I've talked to a few solders who don't agree with being over there but it is there duty. at no time in my life has Saddam scared me so i don't see how you can say they are fighting for me. they are fighting to spread Americas way of government. not for you and me or my children.
to speak out against anything is our right, read the bill of rights. besides speaking out against the war isn't dishonoring any solders it is speaking against our heavy handed policies.
as far as cutting off someones head i guess putting someone in the electric chair is better??both are outrageous...
you can't force peace on a nation thru a power struggle.
given the same chance wouldn't you kill the people we are fighting?so what's the difference?you killing them or them killing you?
you're nothing more then a brain washed idiot...

I couldn't agree agree with you more! It's nice to see someone else stand up for our troops and president!
I think I may have seen the same video you did. ( was it the one with the 5 men with their faces covered, and the man in front of them on his knees? ) It made me sick at my stomach !
I know several people that have gone there . Luckily, they have all returned in one piece. But one of them still has "back flashes".He still can't talk about what all he witnessed .
People also wonder why there are still men and women that are still volunteering to go. Well, they love their country and want to do everything they can to protect our country.
I know a lot of people refuse to believe that Iraq had anything to do with 9-11, but they must not understand that Al Qaida is NOT just in Iran.
You're right, they didn't think twice before killing 3000 + people in our own country. And if people don't believe that there are no terrorists still in our country, they need to think again.
They come across the Mexican and Canadian Borders. Maybe not so much now, but what about the ones that were already here??? Do you think they just packed up and went home after 9-11? NO !!!! They're running convenience stores all over the country. They are the " quiet people that live next door".
Anyway, I agree with you, support our troops and our president!

The beheadings were A) committed not by Iraqis but by foreign terrorists who came into Iraq after we invaded, and B) committed AFTER we invaded and not before. Animals, to be sure, but don't tell me or anyone else that we have anything to "remember" concerning this unconscionable war.
What about this jackhole Green, the U.S. soldier in Iraq who murdered a family so that he could rape and then murder their 14-year-old daughter? You think YOU have something that you must not "forget"?! Why the heck do you think this war continues to be so atrocious? Check the mirror.
At least you didn't say something *utterly* ridiculous like us getting back at "them" for 9/11 (since the Iraqis had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11, which I *shouldn't* need to point out but have a feeling that I do anyway).

I for one have always supported our wonderful troops and always will too but it's the way they were all made to march into battle and the reason for it that I'm appalled by. Also please don't tell me to be proud of Bush because that thought only makes me want to puke. He's one of the worst terrorists on this planet and remember I said one of the worst or should I say he's tied in first place with the most extreme terrorist in the world today.
It's because of Bush and all the evil that he's done to so many innocent people through out the world that all of America is hated by so many, many other countries.
You need a reality check and the sooner the better.
I praise all of our soldiers everywhere and I always will do so for they are only doing their job and giving their lives for what they are told to do and we should never hold anything against them for doing what they are told to do.
I say God bless all of our soldiers and their families as well for they too are heroes for all they have given up as well.
You and Bush need a reality check and maybe get them both soon for the world is watching to see what more that idiot will do to cause more health and harm to this great world of ours and if he's allowed to continue for another 2 years we will all be heroes for just being here under his rule of terror.

Every person that seems to support the war seems to think that Iraq is 10 times worse than every other nation...
this seems to be due to general world ignorance... they don't know about Darfur or N. Korea, or China or Somalia...
There are, in fact, many areas, with many more terrorists and many more terrorists that attacked us in 9-11...
but you clearly don't care enough about that to actually take the time to look it up...
Why don't Republicans want to catch those responsible for 9-11... all you have to do is read the government report on who did it, called the 9-11 report, you can pick it up at any bookstore, and you will see we're not fighting those that killed us...
but hey, those are just facts.. you don't care about those

It seems you are mixing 2 things together, the war on terror and the invasion and occupation of Iraq. The war on terror was supposed to catch Bin Laden, Dead or Alive. The invasion and occupation of Iraq was a political decision.
I support all our military personal, wherever they are! And thisadministration supports them too, as long as they are active duty and can still fight. but once they are discharged or wounded...to bad. The VA is underfunded, hospitals are closing, they lost the information on 26 million vets. And now when a disabled vet becomes eligable for Social Security, his disabilty check will be cut by the amount he gets from SS. So give me a break.

If you are so gungho, why aren't you there fighting instead of running off an the keyboard.........and terrorists decapitate people, not Iraqi's, I'm sure they would appreciate you making that distinction......"Have you forgotten".....Veitnam proved that modern war solves nothing, and leaves nothing but victims in it's wake. And by the way, you cannot realisiticly declare a war against an abstract idea......terror, drugs, etc......how silly

I think the majority of people who answer on these pages are just kids who know nothing beyond their XBox360, their PS2, their iPod, the latest news on Lindsay Lohan or the booger they just picked from their nose. American kids lead such sheltered, priveleged lives. Where else but in America can the average kid own and drive a car? Maybe when there's video of some Hollywood hottie or hunkie being beheaded on TV will they begin to understand that this war is real, the enemy is real, he is coming to your town to kill you, your mom and dad, and your two year-old little sister. Wake up and wise up, punks!

i have family over there so i do support the troops but not the war. i feel we should of never gone to war and i knew there were no weapons of mass destruction before we went over there. So what if Saddam is an Ahole it is and was not our problem. We are not the police of the world. He and the country were doing nothing to us or against us. We should of minded our own business and stayed over here
