In all honesty, do the people in the U.S. really care about the Iraqi people?

Question

we don't really know them, do we? we are so far away............just be honest

Answer 1

Americans are too spoiled and self absorbed to care about anyone but themselves.

Answer 2

As far as I can see, people in US (starting from the President down to an average citizen) do not consider Iraqi people more than some lowly insignificant germs. Otherwise, I cannot imagine how there can be anything else one's mind when you/your country has caused the genocide of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis. This is worse than what Hitler did.

Answer 3

Not a day goes by that I do not think about all the innocent lives taken in Iraq. Iraqi and American alike. Many times I have tried to envision what it must be like for both the citizens of Iraq and our Soldiers, that is when the tears start.

Answer 4

When this kind of violence goes down, it matters to me whether I know any Iraqis or not... especially when the primary catalyst of this violence is my own nation... this means that I, in some part, or at least my people, are failing or doing the wrong thing. I do however have a plan to get out... but nobody cares.

Answer 5

I THINK IF YOU ARE A TRUE CHRISTIAN YOU CARE ABOUT THE WELL BEING OF ALL PEOPLE. MANY SO CALLED CHRISTIANS OPPOSE FREEDOM FOR OTHERS IF IT CAUSES THEM ANY INCONVENIENCE OR IF ANYBODY ACTUALLY GETS HURT. THEY SHOULD READ A LITTLE MORE HISTORY OF THE WORLD TO REALIZE THAT'S HOW THINGS ARE DONE WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT. THE OLD ADAGE "FREEDOM IS NOT FREE" APPLIES HERE. THE IRAQI PEOPLE ARE FINDING THAT OUT JUST AS ALMOST ANY DEMOCRACY HAS DONE SINCE MAN HAS BEEN AROUND. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE WHO WANT TO SUBJUGATE THESE PEOPLE FOR WHATEVER REASON. THAT IS THEIR HISTORY. MAYBE NOW THEY CAN GRAB THE BRASS RING AND PULL THEMSELVES UP. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY.

Answer 6

They should care about stopping that Iraqi oil going east. That's what the war is mainly about. Democracy would be nice too. It's such a shame that precious natural resources are in the hands of such superstitious barbarians and I include the Saudis in that too. Imagine if all that oil was in Australia instead. I wish it was.

Answer 7

I may care in an abstract way because they are people but I really don't think 3000 fine American troops dying for them is worth it. The Iraqis are not worth it and mark my words, they will never be worth it. A total waste of precious American lives, thanks to Bush.

Answer 8

What Americans really know about them are what they see on Television on other Media sources -

Which just happen to just show negative things about Iraq, such as men shouting around fires.

What the Media really needs to do is show the good things in Iraq -- Like children playing soccer in an abandoned field, a smiling family walking away from the war, two sisters laughing together as they walk down the market.

But yes, I do pity their current situation and feel sympathy for those of who have been seperated from their loved ones.

Unlike many, I do not take word of the Media -- I'd like to find out personall opinions and real facts instead.

Answer 9

What you all should know is, it is better for the World to align with the sunni muslim. They are the selfish lots, and easily to manipulate but you should not meddle with the Shias. They are warrior, death is noting to them. They do not fear anyone or country in this world. To them Islam first politic come second. In the Sunni world politic come first and Islam second. If you don't believe, reflect and study truly and see if my assessment is right.

Answer 10

Every human being is a manifestation of the Creator and equally deserving of our Love, regardless of that person's race, creed, nationality, gender, personal belief system, etc., etc.

All are equal in the eyes of the Lord and should be in our eyes as well.

Answer 11

Yes
