Anybody support the Iraqi's and Afghans in their holy against the American infadels?

Question

Instead of looking at the US as the good party I for one am looking at the Afghans and Iraqi's struggle for independence against the oil hungry infadels from the west. anybody feel the same way?

Answer 1

All the people will be "removed", the oil companies will go in and pump the place dry, and what is left shall be turned into a theme park.

Answer 2

There is virtually no oil in Afghanistan. That country was invaded because it was a sponsor of international terrorism. I was all for that military action.

Iraq is a different matter. I've never been in favor of that conflict. Oil might have been a contributing factor but it wasn't the only reason the US invaded.

You call the struggle of the insurgents one of independence. I am curious to know how you think the people of those two countries were independent. And once the US leaves (as it eventually will), how independent do you suppose the citizens of those countries will be (especially in Afghanistan)?

It's one thing to favor the insurgency against the occupying US (et al) forces, but what about the bombings of public places? What about the systematic murder of rival sects? What about the Muslim on Muslim violence? How does all of that fit into your way of romanticizing the conflict?

Answer 3

Okay, let's put it this way. Would you really want to live the kind of lives the Iraqis and Afghans do? Yes they have very rich countries, but they also have leaders who keep the wealth for themselves and allow their people to be very poor. The fact that us Westerners want to buy their oil, would normally be a good thing for their countries. That is only if their leaders would share the wealth with their people, which they never do. The only "struggling for independence" as you say are for dictators who want the money all for themselves. Remember Saddam Hussein's gold palaces? When the U.S. took him out as leader, we sent in many contractors and were actually trying to bring that country into the 21st century with updated infrastructures, as well as some human rights. And what did the men of that country do? They kidnapped them and beheaded them. They've proven that they put their so-called "religion" at the forefront and it certainly doesn't seem to be giving them a better quality of life. They've shown they are not intelligent enough to want a better life for themselves and for their families. So, to answer your question, NO. I would never support the Iraqis and Afghans in their "holy". I have more brains than that.

Answer 4

Not really, though I am disappointed with the U.S. for its handling of the war on terror, I believe Bush went into Iraq thinking he was protecting our country and Isreal from WOMD. They actually found weapons grade anthrax and all the facilities to deliver the weapon, but because it was 2 years old (but still deadly) the major news networks did not give this much credence. I think the news has a liberal slant to make us look worse for the war to help elect more democrats to office.

Bush's strategy was contingent upon the Iraqi people standing up for themselves against insurgency, they have proven to be a people who are too accustomed to be down trodded by dictatorship. As for Afghanistan, their own government is helping us fight the war on terror their, so I don't see them as fighting a "Holy War". Afghanistan is a country with its own soverienty. We are not occupying them.

The war on terror is against radical islam (which is an abuse of true islam) and countries that knowingly harbor terrorists.

Don't believe everything you are spoon fed by the major media outlets, I am afraid we (US) as a nation are becoming pawns of the media and their agendas.

Lastly, I would like to see any of this oil we are supposedly "getting". Oil prices are skyrocketing here, which would lead me to believe the shieks are still making their cut petrol...not us.

Answer 5

I'm still trying to figure out why everyone thinks we are in Iraq, loosing our troops every day to these terrorists and all for oil. There are other places for us to get oil...Is Iraq really top on the list? I thought we were there to topple a dictator and establish some form of democracy. But the Muslim people seem to be more intent on following these half wit clerics, who have more pull than the government.

Answer 6

And what about the muslims Holy in Europe and their invasion of western countries, wait another 10 years or more when you poor wee europeans are outnumbered by them and they start voting to have the law of sharia, I want to hear your squeak then.

I support the Americans and British in the just war against ISLAMO-FACISTS the greatest threat to civilisation since the NAZI'S funny how the europeans were blind to Hitler as well

Answer 7

To me it's all bad, both the Americans and the insurgents. I support neither Bush's war policies nor the terrorists Islamic insurgency.

Answer 8

I totally support the right of all peoples to live their lives without the interference of a foreign power. The Americans and the Brits have no right to be in either Iraq or Afghanistan and their people are right to resist the invaders

Answer 9

Sorry US is the good party, I know this to be true I'm proud to be an American!!!

Answer 10

sure, they got plenty of support, but not from me.
