''The Iraqi government Monday ordered Blackwater USA, the security firm that protects U.S. diplomats, to stop work and leave the country after the fatal shooting of eight Iraqi civilians following a car bomb attack against a State Department convoy. ''
''Contractors have been accused of shooting to death an unknown number of Iraqi citizens, but none has faced charges or prosecution. In May 2007, a Blackwater employee shot and killed a civilian who was thought to be driving too close to a company security detail.''

cowboydoc, those contractors that got killed had no business being there in the first place. and now I know why they got killed, it's because this company is evil and it's members (and I hope that your grandson is different) are evil bastards who kill people without blinking twice about it. And do you know what America did to revenge those ''contractors''? they bombed the city of Falluja and killed hundreds of people, so how dare you mention that as in excuse. If those men represent you then you're a pathetic excuse of a human being.

The American President is a terrorist, I am ashamed of the behaviors of some of my fellow citizens. Ashamed of the media. Too bad we are all too complacent to organize and put a stop to all of this, revolution is not a dead ideal.

Well, if I had a house, I'd garden. Hard to grow one in an apt. And there's no such thing as an undocumented American. This handy little article doesn't bring up anything about the factory jobs or construction jobs, does it? Before my husband joined the ranks of the unemployed, his smallish factory, with about 65-75 workers, was raided and they found 2 illegals working there. And don't expect me to cry for any of these people. I've watched my husband do back breaking work for 20 years. And cleaning toilets as a maid? Yep, I've done it. And I'd do it again to help my family. Why do you all insist that all illegals are Mexican (like that makes it okay) and that it's only white Americans who lose out on jobs (that's not okay, either). There are Americans of all colors and ethnicities losing jobs while illegals (from all over the globe) find work.

My Grandson works for Blackwater and is an honorable person, we want him home, I know he wouldn't do this.
You reading between the lines, like in "Blackhawn down" witnesses said, they were fired on for one full minute before they returned fire and, it was only to retreat and, they were stopped from retreating. They had civilian representatives of the Federal government to protect, they had to get them to safety. What would you do?
They had no alternative, when they found themselves trapped they called in help from American gunships, who by the way, also fired on the rebels amongst the people to save the convey.
It was only then that they were allowed to leave, just as in Blackhawk down.
What about the four American soldier that were working with the Iraqi policemen and were ambushed in their own barracks, the Iraqi policemen stood by and watched the rebels attack and kill the soldiers then desecrate the bodies.
How about the three American soldiers that were found stripped naked and found with their throats slashed?
Isn't it funny, you never hear about this stuff committed against us or our allies, it's always the stuff committed against the Iraqis.
Another item, they never find the perpetrators.
So, to answer your question, you damn right they represent me.

Yes, I will always stand behind my country. However, there are some bad things going on over there. Our country right now is basically split in half right now. Half is for the war and the other half is against it. That is a very sensitive issue you brought up. I'm about to join the military and help my country. Even though there are some things i'm not sure about. If the american forces leave and then the people who don't want us to leave will be overrun by terrorist. also, if we leave America will substain another attack from the breeding grounds of Iraq. I know you hate americans but Americans will always be lenient and kind to everybody. c'mon america is the only one in the world who is actually trying to help people. aids, terrorism, natural disasters, etc...

Decode this lyrics " Bettermen"
In peace or war or internal conflicts.
There bound to be blunders and slip-ups with human errors.
The misery created back in the past being expose in time in the new millenium after the mystery of us-911.
The blunders and slip-ups with human errors that have to be corrected before all the Elders leave in time for the good of mankind in the creation of peace on earth goodwill to men.
Luke 9.55-56

Hello sister. If anyone should know what it feels like to be completely judged by the insane fanatical acts of others, it should be us. Therefore, I would advise not to stoop to this level, because you know deep in your heart that one man's actions does not reflect the entire group.
I say this because I was also in Iraq, and I know many good hearted MUSLIM and Christian contractors.
Ma salaam.

How do you know it wasn't self defense? It gets me how everyone is so quick to take sides without considering that there might be more to the story than evil American men killing some sweet defensless terrorists.opps I mean insurgents.
