if we invaded iraq based on lies told to the american people by the bush administration, killed thousands of innocent people when iraq posed no threat to the united states, destabilized their country, will they not seek revenge for this terrible injustice? should they not hate us for that? should we do the same to every country we dont like? north korea, iran, syria, sauidi arabia, russia, china..............

for the record, ive been to iraq twice, we went there because the president said that there was an eminent threat of weapons of mass distruction. a lie. anyone who gets their news from any source other than fox news can hear both democrat and republicans stating the facts that there was no threat and the invasion was uncalled for. sources?? how about the majority of government officials?? al gore, clinton.....the list is huge!!

let me try to further explain myself. why did we go to iraq in the first place? do you know that? on the initial invasion, there were countless civilian casualities. no im not saying that our millitary is killing innocent people on purpose. our troops are not murdering innocent people on purpose, but it is happening. its illegal to invade a country without a legitimate reason. iraq did not attack the united states, was not connected to 911, had no weapons of mass distruction, was contained and posed no threat. everything you buy is made in communist china, know anything about their human rights policies and what they do to their own people? our government embraces them and sends our jobs over there. saudi arabia teaches their children in their schools to hate the west, to kill jews and christians, and 11 of the hijackers of 911 came from their. but our government calls the allies!!!!???? so we invade iraq?? this is not a slam on the millitary, i respect and apprecite you.......

I think Iraquis are a lot like Americans: 1% love us, 1% hate us, and the other 98% don't really give a damn and only want to be able to say and think what they want. The Baath party has caused havock for decades now by starting wars with Iran, invading Kuwait, wasting money they didn't have, all the while killing and torturing their own citizens (and gassing the Kurds, who hate Saddam with a passion). So once the insurgents stop suicidide bombing innocent ppl and freedoms become restored after 50 years of being oppressed, I think they might find it in their hearts to forgive us for "killing thousands of innocent civilians". But then again, we are filthy infedels so I guess we should just all convert to Islam and join the Jihad (no offense to the peaceful 99% of the Muslim pop.). Then the terrorist might stop attacking us and we can all live in world peace.
BTW, I do agree that there were better ways to use the military than going into Iraq in the first place. But the mistake was made and we need to help restore some sort of government and police force.

Lesson for you today is not believe everything you see or hear on youtube. If it was indeed a real American soldier he was talking out of his a**. American troops do not fire into crowds of unarmed civilians ever. If they do they face severe punishment. It is doubtful he has ever been to Iraq. There is no way to tell if he is telling the truth but, I highly doubt his credibility. If it were true, thousands of American troops would be saying the same thing. Most importantly members of my family who did serve in Iraq and saw combat would be telling me this was true. They say he is a lying bast***. That is good enough for me.

1st of all no lies were told, second there is always "innocent "civillians killed. I believe they are not so innocent. And last yes we should. What threat do you propose Iraq did not pose. Use of chemical weapons? Genocide? Are we to believe that we should not have defeated Germany when they did the exact same thing. They were not killing Americans.

Um... right now I think the Iraqis are more teed off at Saddam and terrorists than they are at the US military.... after all, Saddam was the one who killed thousands of innocent people, threatened the US with nuclear warfare, and generally ruled with an iron fist. And we were the ones who ousted Saddam.

The only reason that those so called "civilians" got killed is because they were playing host to the terrorists. Before they took them into their homes they should of known that we would evetualy find them and kill them. And since the "civilians" were giving shelter to terrorists they weren't civilians anymore....They were terrorists themselves.
