HOW DARE they do this in our name. How many dead Iraqis will it take?
So its estimated that upwards of 12,000 innocent Iraqis have died as a result of this war. We don't even have any idea how many tens of thousands of "insurgents" we've killed. WHY IS EVERY AMERICAN NOT OUTRAGED BY THIS. We are in THEIR land.

HOW DARE they commit these crimes under our flag. We must never forget how many Americans have lost their lives due to this war. We also have a DUTY to hold this administration accountable for the murders it has committed. These people were not terrorists. These people did not attack us. These people will never forgive us, and we must never forgive those who did this injustice under the guise of democracy.

HOW DARE THEY DO THIS IN OUR NAME.

1. Real Americans are outraged by this.
The people who are not outraged are not "real" Americans...just people living and playing here.

6. You are correct, but you do not hear it nearly often enough.
They will be aptly demonized by history, yet they are allowed to continue by an oblivious public.

This country needs a giant wake up call.

2. they dare with impunity
total control of our nationalized media and voting parameters makes it a cakewalk. They are doing it right in front of our noses like rutting invisible pigs.

4. Exactly.
The scope of this is sickening.

5. How long? For as long as Merkins accept it.
Same as in Vietnam.

When the majority of citizens decide it's wrong, and voice their oppposition, then and only then will it stop.

7. the U.S. is an Occupying Force
Iraq has been poisoned with depleted uranium ... its people sit under the thumb of a puppet government controlled by madman bush ... Iraq's infrastructure has been destroyed and the U.S. budget allocation to "rebuild Iraq" is almost completely unused ...

and there's just no end in sight ... the civil war that will further ravage Iraq is on hold only until the Americans get bored with their little adventure and leave ... the future, and the present, is very bleak indeed ...

oh, btw, been hearing much about the suffering of the Iraqi people on the TV news lately ?? i doubt it ... what a shallow country we are ...

8. HOW DARE CHIMPY
goes on and on and ON about their "freedom".... NEVER A WORD OF REGRET FOR THE INNOCENT LIVES LOST.

Did ANYONE see scenes of the Iraqi carnage before F 9/11?

I sure didnt.

That scene of the poor woman screaming who had lost so many loved ones.... I will never forget it.

THEY DID NOTHING TO US.

11. to about half the country, Iraqis simply don't count . . .
as human beings . . . they're just some kind of alien "others" that the U.S. has every right to dispose of however we see fit . . . it's the same attitude that enabled the prisoner torture . . . and a lot of people so disposed consider themselves good Christians, too . . . boggles the mind . . .
