does any one care about what is happening to the iraqi population?

Question

and if so ,what are you prepared to do about it?or is an arabs life less important than ours as americans , and I am not talking about the ones that are shooting at troops, I am talking about the ones that get their houses carpet bombed every time an insurgent runs into their neighborhood.
can you imagine a criminal fleeing to your neighborhood and
then the millitary drops bombs??

how is it misrepresented ? this is right off of a.p. and it has been happening.
the bombing of neighborhoods is happening, to flush out handfulls of insurgents.

wow babe, I think you need to read the question again,I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT INSUREGENTS.I AM TALKING ABOUT WOMEN AND CHILDREN CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE OF FALLING BOMBS.

the people that were dancing in the street were israeli's this has been documented by detentions and questioning, as well as ,an interview on israeli t.v. captain ''f''. I wish I had google dit , more info to follow

as far as the ira , every thing that I have been told by residents in the u.k. was that the ira was holding their own , I may be mistaken but I do believe that all parties came to the table to halt the violence.

every one keeps talking about surrender ? surrender to who? and what would a victory look like to us and the world .I appreciate all points of view ,and disagreement is healthy in a democracy. but I think that the objective has changed so many times that we are '' awash'' in the retoric. all I am saying is iraq has turned into a hyper -violent reality most of us can not begin to imagine , that is most definitely the point I am trying to make.thank you all

Answer 1

I care. The people you refer to are innocent people, not collateral damage.

I do not hold this against soldiers though. They are only there to do what they are ordered to do, their only reason is to look after their own. It is the source of the orders who is responsible for this shambles they call the 'war on terror'.

It's not about protecting the innocent and liberating a country. If it was, we would have invaded Burma, too.

It's not about removing Saddam. That was finished 4 years ago.

It's not about averting civil war. We are just making that problem worse.

It's not about combatting hate. The more people we kill, the more families will grow to hate our countries.

It's not about self-protection. Iraq is in tatters. What could they possibly do now?

It's not about terrorism. Look at all the free publicity we've given to Al-Qaida. THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT!

Are there any other possibilities, other than oil, and the revenue that can be gained from it?
Didn't think so...

Incidentally, Burma's people need us, but it seems they haven't given us any financial reasons to go and take over.

So yes, it seems that an Arab's life IS less important than an Ally's. But a soldiers life is CLEARLY less important than a barrel of oil. After all, why have a war that won't pay for itself with interest?

You seem to forget the the world is controlled by men in suits. People with no feelings and no love for anything other than their bulging wallets.

Answer 2

through fact people see themselves as superhuman. the previous guy is robust; conflict IS hell and united states of america is the devil. faith and politics are 2 of the biggest evils in this international and paradoxically additionally the reason for the main wars. the u . s . attempt to regulate the two via turning the full international right into a democracy with Christian morals, yet interior the intervening time galvanize a lot anger in doing so, that conflict is inevitable. Then they element the finger to the different occasion and blame them for no longer accepting the american reason. they are basically as undesirable through fact the Roman Catholic Church if no longer worse, killing tens of millions of harmless people and then calling it collateral harm. A**holes! Sorry, can no longer answer your question, basically have been given so pi**ed off via listening to the story.

Answer 3

I have not seen throughout US history,any one caring about the non American innocent killings,

US people only feel innocent killings when they count their own body bags,

And you are talking about one specific problem Iraq only,
whereas in Iraq & Afghanistan intensive carpet bombing have been done,and for what ? no one knows the actual reasons,

You US citizens should be at least sure of one thing , that your foreign policy should be in US hands , but presently it is not,

Ricist Zionists are US policy makers , and you are blindly obeying your masters,

Zionists desparately need a CRUSADE,an all out war between Christians and Musilms,Iraq & Afghanistan are just beginnings,

USA is playing in hands of those for whom you are "goims" and animals,and jesus(Peace be upon him) a BASTARD.

So Americans are to decide fate of USA.

Answer 4

I understand what you are saying. Most people in Iraq are innocent people who just want to live in peace. It is only a very small minority there that carries out violence. However, thousands of innocent people have been killed by American and British troops and channels like Fox news and CNN don't report this. It annoys me very much because Iraqis lives are just as valuable as Americans. Some people don't care who dies as long as it isn't someone from their country. With this selfish attitude, things get nowhere.

Answer 6

From my observation it seems like no one really cares about the Iraqi civillians caught in the crossfire of this war, except maybe the US millitary which is trying to" WIN THE HAERTS AND MINDS OF THE PEOPLE". Im not sure the civilian care about the US soldiers either.

Answer 7

I have concern over what is happening, but not even money to help a relief effort, as all the jobs I was qualified for have been either shipped overseas to save money, or have been effective eliminated by governmental action in changing the rules to help the biggest companies in my profession eliminate the small competition, which was where I worked.

Our country is in economic shambles due to our electing congressmen to help their biggest contributors, and to raise wages for those that they favor, to the detriment of most of the country, and especially those on fixed incomes. Along with raiding the SS "trust" fund, and allowing illegal aliens in to run wild, depressing incomes, committing crimes, but enriching the legislators who get big contributions from large firms to do this.

Leaves many of us with no discretionary funds to help tho we want to, and the Congressmen are not going to sell their oil stocks that are appreciating in value so fast, and help some poor in Iraq! Or even in the USA!

I agree that a lot of ill-will comes from our military tactics, and lack of discretion, and the hiring in of mercenary corporations who make lots of money for themselves and lots of enemies for us.

I believe that our troops were never really trained on the nature of the people we were to be fighting and defending, either one. So we enrage the enemy and give them more power, and offend those whom we are supposedly defending and make them enemies. And we shaft those who helped us later on when it seems politically correct to so do. Honor is now only relative.

And we blew it way back by not seeing to it the poor populace got the money they should have from oil, etc.

Reminds me of the British in our Revolutionary war, complaining because the Americans shot from behind trees, and didn't line up in nice columns in the open like the very proper British did!!

A lot of our leaders contribute by having no moral standards other than making money and personal prestige. Even worse are those who claim standards but do not live their claims!!

IF our government had put in people who know how to educate, and protected them, early on, and distributed the income from oil etc to the public, we would be in a lot better position, but you are right in many respects, we believe in blowing them up, rather than educating and raising their level of living. Operating on the Big Bang theory!

We also failed at the top level in understanding a religious war, one with convictions; just as the British failed to understand the glow of freedom in the Revolutionary war. And so lost.

Partly reflects our poor grasp of History anymore, and those who do not learn from History are condemned to repeat it. We are seeing this in spades now.

Since so many of our leaders have no real religious convictions, and morals are relative to them, they cannot understand religious commitment, or respect it.

I think that a bloodbath of the innocent is coming, and we will retreat ignobly, claiming victory at home, and try to forget as those we were to help are slaughtered.

Seems that as we become more and more convinced that morality and honor are old-fashioned, we dig ourselves into deeper and deeper holes.

There is good quotation from many many years ago, do not recall whom, but I think it applies: "America is great because America is good, and when America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."

All one has to do is read, for example, public reaction to some TV comments recently, and hear the nastiness, the profanity, the hatred that the public releases at any opportunity, to know at the grassroots the good has pretty much vanished. Just a matter of time now.

Unless we have a revival of morals and ethics and commitment, which I believe our distinguished Supreme Court has indicated is illegal under the Constitution, as currently interpreted!

Answer 8

The Coalition has stopped carpet bombing quite some time ago.

Answer 9

not liberals certainly. unilateral surrender is simply designed to get more brownie points for the pelosi/reid regime.

Answer 10

If we've managed to kill at least one of the arabs that danced in the streets on 9/11, then it's been worth it.
