When 250+ people were blown up in Iraq about a week ago, how did this as an American make you feel?

Answer 1

I know republicans felt it meant to stay the course and they were actually on TV saying Iraq is making progress. To me it makes me feel the same way I have been feeling about this mess for years now...thats its a mess we started, we should never have been there and as long as we are there its an invite for chaos and mayhen and witht iraqis baring the brunt of it.

(the answers that you are getting thus far proves my point)
we cant rationalize with these people? lol after we invaded their land? would you rationalize with invaders of the USA?

you forget if we were not there, this would not be happening. We are directly responsible just as if we strapped the suicide sticks of dynamite on ourselves and detonated them in a mosque or in a market on a school bus.

CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT FOR GENOCIDE TO TAKE PLACE IS JUST AS GUILTY AS THE GENOCIDE COMMITERS THEMSELVES.

Answer 2

Like we really don't know these people and should never have allowed Bush and his buds to send our troops there. When I heard that the likely inspiration for the bombings came from the stoning of a teenage girl who had dared to date a Sunni, I felt even more that way. I mean, the debates on Yahoo can get a little heated. A Southern Baptist might not want his daughter to marry a Jewish man. He might disown her for it, but a communal stoning followed by multiple retaliatory bombings? These Middle Eastern folk are very, very different indeed.

Answer 3

Yes, another Iraq terrorist blew up more Iraqis last week.

You've heard "A lie repeated often enough becomes the truth?" Well, the same thing aplies to tragedies. Mass murder of innocents by thier fellow citizens, repeated often enough, becomes a hollow statistic. 250 Iraqis murdered by Iraqi terrorists. It's like 42,000 dead on America's highways. It should be apalling, but it's not, it's business as usual.

Answer 4

Truly sad that this administration convinced enough people that it needed the power to wage war against Iraq. Am I to believe our President wasn't told this chaos would ensue. Were they really so naive as to think we would be greeted as liberators for removing Saddam, instead of the occupiers they see? Truly sad that we ever entered Iraq. If there were no oil we would not be there, period.

Answer 5

It saddens me that other Americans call the people who did this "freedom fighters".

It saddens me that other Americans believe those people, or any other Iraqi people, are not worth saving, or, not worth saving if it means having to say something positive about Bush.

It saddens me that other Americans so readily use those deaths, and the deaths of US military, simply for partisan political gain.

Our men and women are fighting and being injured or dying, trying to protect those people - and there are Americans who are doing everything in their power to prevent them from doing so. Why would they do that?

Answer 6

It foreshadows what will happen if we have a complete withdraw. The minor minorites have been called free game by two of the larger groups. I think the intended audience of this attack's message was the US Congress. And since the attack was against people the Sunni or Shia dont care about, it doesn't upset the other side... mass casualties for the US Congress, and no animosity caused between the Sunni/Shia.

Answer 7

Makes me feel sick....I'm glad there was no U.S. deaths involved but it's a awful situation. It proves that the U.S. needs to stay and that there is a lot of work on the long hard road ahead of Iraq. It can happen anywhere...let's just be glad it's not in our own back yards....yet!

Answer 8

That maybe they need to arm themselves, hunt down those doing this and rip them a new pitard.

Answer 9

I felt sorry for them. Those people should stop blowing each other up. and it made me feel thankful for our system of law and order, you know the one we're trying to get them to live by.

Answer 10

I bet the libtards felt like they won the lottery.
