Was the death of ten of thousands of Iraqis an appropriate response for the death of 3000 Americans on 911?

Question

Are 100 Iraqi equivalent to 1 American? Just wondering how you would feel if you were and Iraqi. 3000 Iraqis die, life goes on. 3000 Afghanis die, life goes on. 3000 Palestinians die, life goes on. 3000 Americans die and we invade two countries. Can you see why they hate us?

Answer 1

Well considering that Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with 9-11 it was a completely inappropriate response.

Answer 2

JD is packed with excement! usa government (not the american human beings) had already imposed 10 years of sanctions on Iraq earlier than our 2d invasion of that sovereign us of a, as a result hundreds of thousands had already starved or have been ravenous to loss of life long previously 9-11. Our government as quickly as back lied to us and stated Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. We the human beings in our emotional frenzy after being attacked on the international commerce center rallied in the back of an invasion of Iraq. Iraq were weakened by ability of our sanctions and replaced right into a sitting duck. So now a majority of those years later mutually as our troops are being scattered everywhere in the phucking planet we are being invaded ourselves from Latin usa! Mark my words, it is going to basically be a remember of time while we by surprise comprehend that balloting and highway protesting do not paintings. we can at last could desire to extremely upward thrust up against our government and combat for the liberty we concept we had!

Answer 3

Well, here's the thing...we don't target Iraqi civilians on PURPOSE, so stop making it seem like we do. Also, the insurgents are the ones who are targeting their own people, not the United States.
Innocent people dying are never good, but don't try to spin it to make it seem as if the U.S. purposely target civilians.

Also, this is the War on Terror...not the war on only those responsible for 9/11. Iraq had terrorist ties, training facilities for terrorist, gave money to and even trained al Queida. One of Saddam's sons even provided Intelligence to OBL. So, Iraq was involved with the terrorist who attacked our Country, although no Iraqi's were on the airplanes.

Answer 4

I would consider that if it were in fact the Americans that were killing all the Iraqi's instead of the bulk of the deaths being because they are killing each other and likely would have done that with or without the US there as they have been doing so for 200 years or so.

Answer 5

You are missing the point. The wars were not meant to settle bad blood, it's not like we lost 3,000 people so we have to go kill 10 more for each one lost. There hasn't been one day since 9/11 where 3,000 people in a country died due to an act of war. On 9/11, 3,000 civilians, innocent, not participating in war and living their lives in a sovereign country, were killed in an act of war against America. We haven't retaliated against any innocent population with that kind of magnitude.

Answer 6

Since it's common knowledge now that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, I guess the answer is no.

Answer 7

I could care less how many muslims have to die to preserve my way of life. The entire population of the muslim countries would be a small price to pay to ensure the continuation of western culture.

Answer 8

The logic is impecable except...

We aren't killing Iraqi's.

Their government wants/needs us to stay so it can remain stable at this time.

If the Iraqi's want to prevent Iraqi deaths, I recommend they get a little more aggressive with the people who are doing the exploding (before they explode).

Answer 9

There is no correlation between the two situations.

The death of tens of thousands of TERRORISTS however would be an appropriate response..

Answer 10

Boy, I'm glad you're not in charge of our "war department." Let's see...we can't use planes because the enemy doesn't have any planes. You don't yet understand the concept of the primary job of the President...to protect lives and property in the US...whatever it takes.

Answer 11

Iraq - in no way - threatened, provoked or attacked the United States on 9-11-01. Therefore, not ONE Iraqi life is an appropriate response for the deaths of 3,000 Americans on 9-11. This was a sham from the very beginning.
Anyone who believes that we're "in" Iraq to defend our borders from a 'terrorist' group in an unknown 'evil empire' is simply naive.
Anyone who believes that we're "in" Iraq to establish peace in the Middle East, or bring democracy to Iraq, is sadly gullible.
The Bush administration lied to the American people, hoodwinked our Congress, and conned our valiant U.S. soldiers into believing this has all happened for an honorable purpose. In fact, this has all happened so that a handful of Bush-Cheney friends, wealthy elitists and industrialists, and power brokers can become wealthier and more powerful.
The deaths of 675,000 Iraqis and 3,800 U.S. soldiers is an obscenity that will not easily be erased from the sordid heritage of this murderous nation. Every American should hang his head in shame for allowing such high crimes against humanity to continue, all for the sake of OIL and WAR PROFITEERING. -RKO- 09/06/07
