Do the Iraqi people "owe the American people a huge debt of gratitude", as President Bush attests?

Question

Let us count some of the heinous acts of the Bush Administration for which the Iraqi people should be grateful:
1) US violence has brought death to hundreds of thousands of Iraqi’s and physical injury to millions.
2) Hundreds of billions of dollars in property destruction caused by U.S. aggression will take decades after peace to rebuild.
3) 2.2 million Iraqi’s, nearly one in ten, have fled their country to foreign exile, refugee camps and a doubtful future while at least 2 million more have fled their homes and communities to furtive lives of quiet desperation, to inadequate housing within Iraqi, without jobs or schools.
4) 3/4's of the people do not have safe drinking water.
5) Iraqi’s internationally acclaimed free health care system is a shambles.
6) Since Shock and Awe began in March 2003 infant mortality in Iraq has increased radically to the highest death rate of all nations.
7) Iraq is the most unstable country in the world.

IThe list goes on and on...

Answer 1

Tell you what. I'll break into your home, beat you up, rape your wife, smash everything, say "I saved you from Terrorism", then be upset that you're not grateful.

Answer 2

1. tens of thousands maybe, with injury to maybe tens of thousands more.. not millions. And most of those were pointing a gun in our direction.
2. Most of that has already been rebuilt.. for free.
3. If after the conquering of Japan, 10 million Japanese had fled to refugee camps in siberia would that have been our fault? I doubt your numbers are correct anyway.
4. Simply false.
5. What internationally acclaimed health care system? The one that took care of Sadaam and his croneys and performed grotesque medical experiments on undesirables?
6. Source? I'm going to guess Iraq infant mortality is not higher than say.. the Sudan or Ethiopia.
7. Well if you count it as a country Palestine is.. but regardless Iraq has a new government that Islamists are trying to overthrow for a theocratic fascist state. So really whatever stability it has is what we are giving it.

Answer 3

Any Iraqi that answers this can only do so because of a US soldier. Is freedom worth the price in destruction .That will always be a personal decision .I love my freedom and thank all those who have fought for it,as you should for the life you enjoy and the ability to ask this question.Do Iraqi's feel grateful I am sure most do but those that were in flicking pain on others under Saddam don't ,it is subjective to a point of view.

Answer 4

Tough to answer such a moronic question, but I consider your statistics probably are founded on conditions that were set under Sodamn Insane's rule. I happen to have worked in Iraq for the past two years and have met several locals who are SO GLAD that we are here and helping them pull out of that horror story they lived with for 30 years. Imagine if the Crips ruled the US for 30 years making slaves and killing all their opposition...hmmm...sounds like LA today...anyway....the "normal" Iraqi people are indebted, it's only the former regime leftovers, tryannical neighbors, crazy control freak clerics, and those types..such as yourself, who would not want this new democracy to succeed, however, I have news....IT WILL....good citizens and soldiers of our great nation and other great nations know this to be true or they wouldn't be here. Now go fill up your SUV and pump more money into the hands of OPEC....and STFU!!

Answer 5

Just ask the Christians of Iraq, if you can find them. About a million have fled the American Ocuupation and are living in camps. They prefer Syria to living in US Occupied Iraq.

Answer 6

He "controlled" to graduate from Yale because of the fact of his father's ability and money. this is the rationalization he have been given into the school interior the 1st place. Noelle Bush, daughter of Florida governor Jeb Bush (and George's niece), "controlled" to graduate from Florida State Univesity inspite of infrequently attending instructions, and receiving grades that would desire to have failed maximum different pupils. She substitute into in drug rehab for 3/4 of her senior 365 days and nonetheless controlled a "B" basic. everybody is familiar with you in no way fail the governor's youngster, i comprehend for a actuality a minimum of two professor's (non-tenured)have been threatened with termination while they tried to fail her. look it up interior the Tallahassee Democrat. Aslo, no offense to the business company grad's available, yet an MBA from ANY college isn't in all probability all that stressful to get. i'm no longer asserting it relatively is trouble-free, even if it honestly does not require loads of intelligence. Bush has lost lots earnings very ill-conceived business company ventures, i ask your self how absolutely everyone might desire to cite his diploma as evidence of intelligence? I call Bush no longer in basic terms incompetent, yet stupid besides. he's stupid because of the fact he actual beleive's his own bullshlt. He relatively theory the Iraqi's might welcome the U. S. with open arms. He relatively does think of he's doing "God's paintings", and it in no way occours to him that possibly he's incorrect. once you beleive your own BS, you're stupid.

Answer 7

Well we did get Saddam out....

War is not pretty. People have to die sometimes. its unfortunate. But war is Ugly.

Plus if you add all of the religious violence. against diffrent tribes. the Iraqi problems are not totally with a America. They themselves need to figure out what the heck they are doing. because there are constant bickering and whining between tribes. they cannot agree on anything. they need to squash there differences and work together. and then we can and will get somewhere.

Answer 8

you forgot to mention the conditions before congress voted for the war , also you forgot to mention what is being rebuilt , and how many people died under saddam . But you aren't trying to have an intelligent debate , you are just trying to bash bush . This is how democrat politicians do business also

Answer 9

You're an idiot to think the way you do. America hasn't brought death to the innocents of Iraq, the insurgents have and for that you can't be trusted with telling any truth.

Answer 10

The question should be,"Do we owe the Iraqi people an apology for interrupting their lives with the pursuit of fictional Weapons of Mass Destruction".

Answer 11

Do Japan and Germany hate us for rebuilding thier countries and giving them a better life?
