As is being pointed out to me, I see it's pretty useless to try and reason with you G whatever.
--------------------
You make it seem as if the Serbs were doing nothing, just going about their daily lives and out of nowhere the US and NATO decide to bomb them.
Why don't you state the other side of the story? The reason I am commenting on your posts is because you pick a side and point out flaws.
Anyone can sit here and point out mistakes. I do not see you running for office and taking responsibily for those decisions and I don't see you bringing up ideas on how to solve problems. It's easy for you to sit and criticize difficult decisions when you are not held responsible for them.
The fault in your judgement is that you are letting emotion take over rational thinking. If that is the basis of your thinking, then heck, lets just carpet bomb every Turk, every other Muslim, heck lets throw the Jews in there for good mesaure, and be done with it. As Siggie said, two wrongs do not make a right.
Your mentality and outlook are only going to make things worse because you definitely cannot perceive of any other outlook besides, "my country right or wrong." Well, if you want to go around dumping bombs on people, don't be surprised when they throw some back. It is YOU thinking that two wrongs don't make a right because they are gonna happen to you or your friends. Don't think that you can abuse people with impunity. I am not justifying it but it is a FACT OF LIFE.

Let's all take a deep breath together okay?
Iiiiiiiiiin... okay now hold it... exhale
Let's try and be a little nicer to each other please?
On that note, for clarification purposes... Anoush jan, I didn't mean "you missed the point" in the way it may have seemed to you now that I look at it again. I just meant that I didn't feel like my question was answered. Sorry if it seemed confrontational or anything like that. Just trying to understand your point of you.
"I'm just here to learn"Difference being that I mean it.

I am not a supporter of many of US and NATO policies but to sit here and say that you do not care if people are dying, whether it be a US, British, or Iraqi citizen is just absurd.
It's easy to sit in the safety of your little home and type out your ignorant and biased opinions when you have not lost a family member, relative, or friend to war or terrorism.
Human life is human life.
Also mistakes are a part of human nature. Has the US and its allies made many mistakes? Sure.
But to say that you do not feel any symapthy for the lives lost due to a retaliation, a cowardly retaliation, is just not right.
And as for Anoush719, you must think you're very clever with your "shock and awe" reference.
I'd like for you and your family members to have lived in Iraq at the time of Sadam's regime, when he beat, tortured, raped, gased, and killed hundreds, if not thousands of people, and then see you come on here and just mouth off on stuff you've read and heard in the media.
What have you done to give back to the country that has given you freedom, the ability to live a relatively safe life, and the chance to pursue prosperity and happiness to a degree that you could not find in other third world nations?[SIZE=2][COLOR=DarkOrchid]"First and foremost, terror is for us a part of the political war appropriate for the circumstances of today...” — Yitzhak Shamir[/COLOR]ZE][/SI]

Originally posted by GSTracer05They can criticize and I can criticize them for it. So who are you to tell me to shut up? This is an open forum - one that even puts up with all the spam you post. Go back to working on your post count man. I do not support the decision for war but I am not going to turn my back on our troops, especially since some are my friends. Our troops did not enlist in the armed forces specifically for going to Iraq. You've served in the military? You know about dissention and its penalties?
And if its okay for that shmuck a52093043 whatever his s/n is to sit here and say that those in London deserved that attack, then its okay for me to sit here and express my opinion.
Now as far as the troops, there is a thing called citing a religious excuse which many who have opposed it have used. They cannot be penalized for their religion, now can they? The point being, if they really believe that the war is wrong they can abstain.
As far as supporting the troops, just what does your pea brain mean? Even if it's an unjust war based on lies, where thousands of innocent people have died, we have to "support the troops"? When you say "support the troops" do you mean supporting them in action, or bringing them back? Also, no one deserves to be a victim of violence which is based on the policies of the governments. I suppose I support the troops too, by wanting them brought back.
Those folks in London would not have died, nor would your friends be in Iraq had it not been for the policies of the governments. So therefore the cause is foreign policy. Nothing more.Achkerov kute.
