Oh yeah very good you blame communism for muredering people but remember that I can blame democracy for this and say that all democrats are child murdering bastards. HOW DO'S THAT FEEL YOU HEARTLESS AND BRAINLESS MORONS THAT THINK THAT THE ONLY GOOD COMMIE IS A DEATH COMMIE???
I'd like to point out here that 80% of Americans do not agree with the war in Iraq. Murdering all of us is no different in principle than what we are doing in Iraq. Please use your energy to educate and enlighten instead of deepening divides that have already reached an epic proportion. I hope the whole world of citizens unite in peaceful opposition to their respective govt's if they are no longer working in the best interests of their people. Damili1127, WE are the ones that make a difference
Firstly, I did not vote for him. Secondly, he was INSTALLED by our Supreme Court the 1st time, and the second time was a rigged election. The first glance at USA is always going to be a flawed one. The USA that is portrayed on TV has VERY little do with the ACTUAL USA at large, and it's people. Much like I assume that the images of Russia are VERY different than ACTUAL Russian citizens, and the same holds true for Iraq. The people are NOT our governments. We must unite as PEOPLE not nations!!!!
"i asked him about the day his father died" fucking hell, that prick should fucking die, im sure that 8 years old kid saw this dick head bringing a sad and painful past to the surface as a valuble experience.
Most interviews about painful subjects ask the interviewee about difficult subjects. That's what makes interviews so powerful is to see the pain, and hear the experiences of those who lived through it. I'm sure that little boy lives with his pain every day, whether or not this guy had interviewed him about it. It just gives us a glimpse inside the world of suffering that our illegal occupation has caused....sorry if it offended you....
I totally agree buddy...but somebody has to make these difficult videos to show the world or nobody would believe that such atrocities are taking place....
when i show you pictures of u.s.-killed child by a underhandbomb of a islamist, you will hate them. when shown pics of killed children from otherwehere, you will hate their enemies. typical PR of these islamicbastards.
I like to believe that I am not so foolish as to go around blindly hating entire groups of people simply based on the actions of a few. First off , I'm not Islamic...I'm an American who is an agnostotheist. That word hasn't been invented yet, but it means I am on the fence as to whether any "godlike" presence in ANY form looks down on us in scorn and tells us to murder and rape foreign people, and love your neighbor.
What I hate is hate. I hate the people who cannot disconnect propaganda from their minds and end up blindly believing that one particular "race" of people is just ONE way. Like, Jews are greedy, or Blacks are criminals, or any other "stereotype". They're all bullshit.
The fact remains that the USA started a quasi-illegal war in a foreign country employing more private sector mercenaries than regular soldiers.
Murder has been rampant and nobody who paid for the war (me and you) really knows why we ever went there in the first place, and WE sure as hell didn't profit from it.
It is propaganda impure and simple. WAKE UP; OUR SOLDIERS ARE HEROES, tricks like this are a zero, meant to stir emotion. How quickly some will turn on their own!!!
Our soldiers are mind-controlled slaves who do what they are told to do, even if this means committing atrocities in the name of geo-political and resource based control. I feel like they have turned on me by submitting to this heresy of a free society.
Sir, I respectfully submit that our soldiers are Heros, and the only reason that we have freedom.
You have made some great videos but this one shows horrific pictures w/o any proof of origin!!!!!!! In the war on terror, the atrocities that are being committed are being committed by Muslims in the name of bastardized forms of their religion upon other Muslims and upon our brave soldiers.
I am sorry that you do not respect our soldiers and see them as robotic slaves.
You are correct that I cite no sources for these photos. What I'm trying to convey is the senseless death that has occurred because of our occupation in Iraq. Some has been US military, and some has been Iraqi and other ethnic peoples. I submit to you that had the occupation been reversed; where Iraq invades us instead of them, I guarantee that every person with a gun in America would attempt to kill anyone from the occupying force they saw. You say the atrocities are being committed by
Muslims, but I submit to you Abu Graib, Blackwater mercenaries, and scared 20 year old kids in a foreign land believing that every civilian is a potential murderer. The dichotomy of this "warzone" is so upside down that nobody is in the right at this point. Enough atrocities have been committed by both sides that the original point is completely lost. WMD's? Connections with Al Queda? Not to mention the radical destabilization of the entire region due to political alliances forging
new inroads due to new players being implanted in the highest offices of the Iraqi regime. Also, the rapid expansion of US military bases all over Iraq. These only serve to tempt the snake to strike. I don't think ALL military personnel are mind controlled slaves, I was a little brisk with that statement. What I truly believe is that our military has a VERY effective way of using physical, mental and emotional psychology to break down a young persons mind,
and scrub them of the ability to have sympathy or empathy for other people. You cannot teach a human being to fire a weapon at an indeterminate enemy without inadvertently taking away the compassion they have for normal human civilians in their real life. This is an old story, one that has gotten much more press in recent years, and that is the soldiers who are coming back to the their normal lives after a 14 month deployment, or more, and not being able to fit back into their former lives
without SERIOUS difficulty. Many have reported inability to work, some have been plagued with migraine headaches and PTSD, some have even murdered strangers and loved ones. Obviously this doesn't represent all of them, but it is a significant amount. I worked with a marine who had been part of the first siege on Fallujah, he had been there for 14 months, and when i could ever get any information from him, it was grisly and disturbing. He was a TOTALLY different guy when he came back.
I truly believe that there are many young kids over there who display the courage and moral fortitude worthy of the title HERO. Of this, there is no doubt. But I believe we were absolutely swindled into a foreign occupation that we have NO IDEA what the true reasons were for starting.
Also remember how we must look to them; an almost exclusively Christian coalition occupying an equally Muslim country. Maybe it doesn't matter to you, but i can assure you it matters deeply to them.
No, you are conveying propaganda, not pure nor simple.
I guess you forgot our first war with Saddam, also that he murdered his own people, the torture, rape rooms, every type of violation of human rights, that he was in violation of the UN security resolutions, oil for food, I could go on and on but you'll ignore the picture anyway.
No, I won't ignore the picture. In global politics, America is infamous for supporting brutal dictators if it means securing military power, resources such as metals and jewels and oil, and securing the rights to lead them on UN votes and resolutions. I'm fully aware Saddam had a brutal dictatorship, but that doesn't justify an illegal occupation of Iraq. Before we ever went, the UN weapons inspectors
(although believing he was hiding SOME of his stockpile) were vehemently reporting to the UN that Saddam had NO MAJOR WEAPONS CACHES! This report was scoffed at by the USA, and we proceeded as PLANNED. Don't forget-the MAIN REASON we invaded Iraq was because he was an IMMINENT NUCLEAR THREAT to the USA and it's allies. This of course had to be revised, seeing as he had no major weapons caches.
So why were we there to have our brave kids slaughtered, and to slaughter? Hmm?
How am I disrespecting our soldiers? Didn't you read what I wrote? I think I'm being pretty clear when I say that i respect the job they believe they are doing, and they are MUCH braver than I because I would never do what they are doing.
I'm speaking my mind here, and I apologize if I'm somehow not making any sense.
I think our soldiers are being led from a top down system that has a much different agenda in place than the one we are led to believe in the mainstream press is the truth.
Respectfully, agreed, I don't believe anything the mainstream media has to say anymore. However, I don't believe that our soldiers are idiots being led around like dogs. Do you have friends, family, or parents in the military?
I have friends and family actively serving in three different branches of the armed services. You can't liken them to dogs being led around. The manipulation of our soldiers is something that happens at a much higher, cerebral level. They are systematically broken down through training and repetition to respond to certain stimuli, mainly that of how to defeat an "enemy". The problem arises for me when our military is used for something that we have no knowledge of. I think we can all admit now
that our mainstream reasons for going to Iraq were total bullshit. Nobody has paid for this egregious mistake except for our armed forces. It's horseshit, and I am pissed off that our miltary is second best to the private mercenaries that have no laws which control the conduct of their actions in Iraq. Honestly, my anger is faced more towards those men than our military, but I know that our miltary is being fed bad info from our govt to convince them that they are "saving America". No illusions
I never said i did, but I think it's pretty damn obvious that the reasons for invading Iraq were a total whitewash. And the fact that no one really knows why in the hell we are still there years after saddam was murdered if the "reason" we went was to take a brutal dictator out of power...which isn't our job as a country to begin with. I don't know more than our intelligence services, but I do know horseshit when I see it, and this war was a total fabrication from the start.
Please, you must know that in order to work as a cohesive group, to endure stresses inconsistent with civilian life and to perform on the battlefield that soldiers must be broken down from the individual to the cohesive group in order to achieve the goal of protecting our Country.
I have read the republic, and i do understand your point. But you are missing mine, which is that the highest levels of our government are being manipulated by corporate interests that don't have a damn thing to do with keeping America safe. If anything, they have now exposed us to even more violence than we would have had we not invaded Iraq. Now there is an entire generation of Iraqi children who are growing up hating the USA, and not for our freedoms, but for our imperialism.
Yes the US has culpability for some innocent Iraqi childrens deaths. I doubt anybody can honestly argue that. But the number one killer of Iraqi civilians is other Iraqi civilians. I am curious how much of this footage is of victims of suicide bombings carried out in the name of Allah. It is a common tactic used by various insurgent/terrorist/freedom fighter (whatever you want to call them) organizations to paint their adversary in a negative light. Everybody has propoganda. Be subjective.
@damsl76 I agree with you about how the Iraqi children are dying. I talked to a soldier and he said that some of the deaths are from bombs. Others are caught in the crossfires of battles. Some people want to believe that our soldiers are just killing the kids for no reason. We'll find out the truth after the war is over. Once that we pull out it'll be just like the Killing Fields of Cambodia and Vietnam. The Taliban will take revenge on all of the Iraqi people including kids who betrayed them.
Because modern military weaponry can target "suspected insurgent" hideouts, i.e: people"s homes, and hit them with pepper bombs which cause maximum damage to anyone close to the explosion. Also, quiet but effective weapons such as the thermobaric weapons being silently used make it difficult to limit the damage affect to "targets" only. TB weapons are totally heinous, as well as the depleted uranium we are tipping our bullets and rockets with that explode into dust and are then breathed by all.
This video is upsetting but the thing is American soldiers dont storm Iraq and kill everyone including civilians its all those terrorists that are willing to kill as many of there people to kill 1 American soldier which is causing all this destruction. Thats why if a terrorist is ever captured they should be tortured for the rest of their life for all the civilians lives they have taken in Iraq, U.S. soldiers and Iraqi children.
Google abu ghraib, and tell me are those terrorists or americans that have done that. Read some stories, america is at fault for the war, they stick their noses in other peoples business, WW2, Iraq, WW1...
am not really religious, but I carry a little hemotite stone made into a cross with and effigy of jesus, do not go to church, do not read the bible, on my cell phone, it says: only god can judge me. have seen great evil in my life, the ones at the top play us against each other, war, hate, death, suffering creates more of the same, whether christian, muslim, jewish, beleivers in allah, personally, I believe in the children, anyone who would harm them is playing satans game, rich men in suits.
Indeed Dan...you are very wise considering your position in life. It's a testament to your intellect despite your drinking and drugging that your mind is open enough to see all of this insanity for what it really is, and not hide inside your shell like most of the sheeple. Most of the sheeple believe you must have religion to be free, and that couldn't be further from the truth. Religion is just another tool the suits use to divide us and rule over our own feelings and emotions. Keep your headup
Agreed VD666. When we are attacked, we should respond. But 9/11 seems disingenuous to me, and attacking countries that haven't attacked us is lunacy. Our military should exist for the sole purpose of defending against invading enemies, not to fight multiple simultaneous theater wars....
lol...you're so right! It will have to be a monstrous garden..haha, and yes, medicine1977 would be an excellent addition to our orphan paradiso! You might want to bring some other males in though surely I couldn't provide all the masculenity that two wonderful women such as yourselves would crave ;-)..but I would sure try my best! We would need lots of books too...and a safe shelter to house them all...our own little library so we can teach the kiddos how to imagine and love on a grand scale!!!!
Monstrous garden...oh yea, it only tells you how large the number of the orphans actually is....
but voow...the way you describe it , sounds heavenly...
you would be surprised...when something like that might actually work !
Well ask Mother Theresa....:)))
But the fact that we turned you into Turkish Sultan...doesn`t sound nice. You might forget all about kiddos if having to deal with too big a harem. ;))
Not even the `older kidds` should be (too/at all) privileged...
I completely disagree. Pre-emptive violence hurts everybody, especially the integrity of the aggressor. By allowing our country to pre-emptively attack countries that pose no immediate danger is a stupid and careless way to attempt peace. This is why we live in a democracy, we are supposed to be TALKING with our enemies, figuring out what is wrong, and tryng to make amends. When we murder innocent people, all we do is create more enemies to pre-emptively attack. Don't you see that?
It isn't the only way. It doesn't have to happen, especially in this case.
Those children and their families do not pose a threat to us.
Just because Americans do not agree with the way that other countries choose to live their lives, doesn't make it our business to go into their country and kill their people.
Wake up people, this shouldn't be happening. We need to educate ourselves and find out what our government is really doing.
Al Jeerza, I read on your web pages how nixon apporved a flesh eating fly, please bring that back, am on your side, many, many tears for what my gay nazi president has done to your children, Please believe in love, it will make a difference, I did not vote on this gay nazi war, your children are very beautiful I cry for them. Dan Williams
He would laugh the whole way through. To someone like him, who would kill mentally retarded people, and be the first governer in the history of the state of Texas to never grant clemency to a death row inmate? It's a romantic comedy to him.
Just like christianity is for peace too, right? This is why christian armies occupy to Islamic countries right now, committing atrocities (because they are being TOLD to) with no end in sight, and no real reason why we're even there in the first place!
You're right senka, actions do speak louder than words, just watch this video again, and tell me how peaceful and loving and tolerant our christian armies are, ok?
fuck off? You silly little person. Hopefully, by the end of your life, you'll know
Yeah Senka. Christian armies. What do you think Muslims in those countries see when they look at our soldiers wearing crosses around their necks? Hmm? It doesn't take a genius to comprehend it...you just have to admit it to yourself.
You're really not that ignorant are you? Is that even possible? I think you deserve to be degraded for your ignorant comments. Keep your hatred to yourself, nobody wants to hear how fucking stupid you can be. Nobody deserves to be degraded, except you, and no one race of anybody can be summed up with that kind of reductionist thinking. It just goes to show how absurd you are if you truly believe what you say. Take a look at yourself son, usually what you see in others is what YOU are.
DO NOT eat at McDonalds or Starbucks for the next 2 weeks (and more if you can)!!!
For the next 2 weeks McDonalds and Starbucks have promised to donate their earned revenue to the Israel!!! We must boycott and stop the murders, killings and devastating destruction of human life/property!!! Stop the financial blood flow to this nation of terrorists...at all cost!!!
Of course I didn't mean you as the moron...just pointing out the irony.
ALSO-an even wiser man than the one who said your phrase said "There is no path to peace. Peace is the path."
That is the only way to peace. You have to ACT peaceful for peace to become second nature. I don't want war, neither does anyone I know...so why are we still having wars? We shouldn't be. If we took our leaders completely out of office, our world would be a better place by next Tuesday. Power to the people!!!!
@OpusJones Well, that's a great sentiment, a great way to look at things. But totally unreal. Who do you think our leaders of the world are? How did they come into power? How does each of them feel about world peace and love? Can we acquire a peaceful world with hugs and handshakes? If that's the case then this would be Utopia right here, right now. But a lot of these men are out for power, dominance, money. If you take one out, another will come in. Sadly not all people in the world want peace.
Well, most people who have empathy in their hearts will have it wrenched by watching this video. If you have no feelings regarding the content of this video, then it seems to me that you are a cold-blooded person and couldn't care enough to have emotions.
Sadly, I don't think the leadership is ignorant. They know why they are there and why they came. To control the world's oil. To control the region with strategically placed bases. No, my friend. Sadly, if they were ignorant, this would all be too simple. They have created a whole new generation of terrorists (freedom fighters) with their actions. If illegally invaded, and suffering hundreds of thousands of deaths of loved ones, Americans would do the same thing in these children's shoes.
I didn't say america is for it, i said the average american hasn't figured out yet that they have been swindled. The AVERAGE american doesn't even want to TALK about the war, let alone alone understand it. And believe me, there are PLENTY of average americans who are for the war, because they still believe saddam had something to do w/ 9/11, and because they are ignorantly assuming we are spreading freedom...
Yep, I hear you Opus. My philosophy (for the time being) is we all have to experience everything about life, both the good & bad, joys & sorrows, from the rich & famous to the damaged & betrayed, if we're ever to develop real compassion & empathy with our fellow man. Otherwise, what is our value. ....
After serving in Nam 40 years ago & receiving the Bronze Star, a Tucson soldier was called back to active duty in Iraq. While there he awoke 1 morning with a sore throat. 18 months later, Army Sgt. James Lauderdale was dead of a bizarre cancer rarely seen by doctors who tried to treat it. As a result, his stunned & heartbroken family have joined growing ranks of 1000s of sickened & dying Iraq war vets, their families & deformed children who believe exposure to Uranium is behind their illnesses.
Just like every other American bred atrocity of the past 80 years, nobody will know about for decades until after the damage has been done, or until an A-list actor does a big hollywood production about it. This business of war is so despicable, it defies logic as to why we are still doing this kind of damage to our earthly brothers and sisters. The time is coming shortly when we will have the ability to take the power back. Don't be afraid when it begins, they will try to spin it as treason.
Glad to know there are others out there who still possess light in their souls. You're very welcome. Spread this video to everyone you know...it's time to wake up the cold hearts...
Why all this remorse? We are at war and the muslim is the enemy...How come all of you forget that he started this war because of his bloated misanthropic ego and now you mourn for his dead children...
Did you watch the entire video? The "muslim" as you call it is not responsible for 9/11. There is NO proof that the entire muslim religion attacked us, or ANYBODY from Iraq for that matter. Yes, I mourn the death of their children because I have a heart and soul, and I comprehend that the "19 hijackers" were mostly saudi arabian. The U.S. acts like the bloathed misanthropic bully of the world starting pre-emptive wars to de-stabilize regions. I', truly sorry for your misguidance.
I agree Viperstings & Opus' replies are polite & courteous. That alone goes a long way. I feel I can learn a lot from Opus & I for one am glad we're friends.
Well, I have 2 comments floating around YT I'm not proud of & regret posting. So If you should come across either 1, please think of it as my being temporarily out of my mind.
with all due respect sir....the proof you seek is in that blasphemous book they adhere to...these people hate the west because they are envious of the views we espouse and the values we hold because it is these values that render their shameful faith obsolete...not every muslim exhibits his hatred in a flagrant fashion although the vast majority do...and when someone else dares to criticize them you all rise up to their defence under the deceptive claim of "religious tolerance"
With all due respect totem, the most quoted prophet in the Koran is....JESUS CHRIST! That's right. So before you go speaking about things you know nothing of, save what you heard a conservative journalist/tv personality say, you should do your own research and stop believing those that want to make you an ignorant foot soldier for their agenda.
Further....to state that the US started this war is a grossly misconstrued and egregious statement...what started this war was the uncalled for and inhumane slaughter of 2800 of american people on 11-9-2001
I think we should agree to disagree here. Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. Saddam allegedly had WDS, Chemical weapons (we sold them to him in the 80's), and other psychological links were asserted to invade this country and continue occupying it. Look beyond the religion and see them as people. They are people. Those children had nothing to do with 9/11. They are your children. They are my children. They hate the west for much more than religious espousement and "western" values....
You are a fucking ignorant soulless piece of shit totemisation. Ill-inform inbreed fucktards like you is the reason we're on this shit hole war. Dont fucking use the slaughtering of 2800 Americans when we've bombed and killed over 1 millions iraqis. This war was LIED to us. "These" people didnt attacked us because they were jealous of our values- you are clearly just another brainwashed fucking American.
WTF?!?!?!? XD Where did you get this CRAP??!?!? If you are suggesting that the average American shmuck's FALSE belief that Iraq had something to do with its cause, I am with you. But if you yourself are claiming a connection between Iraq and 9-11 leading to a casus belli for an illegal war, then... SHOW ME THE SOURCE FOR IRAQ'S INVOLVEMENT IN 9-11.
Someone should tell Bush,A wrong doesnt make it right. Children NEVER deserve any ANY poor treatment NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE FROM or what their race-when the hell is the world going to get that one-esp American Right winged bible beaters-they ough to know better.
During the Vietnam war, activists consistently called for the American withdrawal, just like today in Iraq. When we left Hanoi fell in 2 weeks, which was constantly predicted by the war hawks as a reason to not pull out of Vietnam. Today...we vacation in Vietnam, so i figure leaving the bullshit aside, it's time to come home and stop ruining the dreams of millions of Arabs. The song is "Midnight in a Perfect World" by DJ Shadow I'm glad you like the video, much peace and love to you UK.
We are in there to get them out of poverty, to get them out of stoning, to get them out of gunfire by their own nation, to get them out of road-side bombs that happen from religious extremists, were in there to help the mothers and girls to get education, to let them have better rights.
Were not in there to hurt them, and if you think that, grow up.
People dont look into things, they see something and believe it, and dont think, and I HATE argueing with them like a child.
First of all, we aren't arguing like children. If you watched the video, then you saw, as most who are aware of the TRUTH about Iraq, we aren't there restoring essential services and improving education. The radical religious propaganda has sprung up 1000 fold since we took Saddam from power. You say we're there to keep them out of gunfire, but how are we doing that? BY GUNFIRE!
There is no path to peace. Peace is the path.
-Ghandi
Don't grow up. Educate yourself and THINK for yourself!
It's the same thing with assasinations, when WILL PEOPLE REALIZE THAT THIS IS AT THE COST OF HUMAN LIFE!? For example, John Lennon had a fantastic message, & opinion, and he was assassinated for it, & we simply shurg it off!? Damn it, we're turning into what we hated from the beggining! DO SOMETHING!
@UK-The concept of "terrorists" is one of misguided information. Not ONE arab or Iraqi has EVER hurt any American child, and it's absurd to think that we have the right to cluster bomb these kids into oblivion. If you were in an Iraqi's shoes right now, you would be singing a whole different tune. American aggression and murder is despicable, and there's really no reason for it. We should not have gone, but we did. We should not be there now, so we need to leave NOW! I'm sick of it!!!!!
too true. Depleted uranium is one of the biggest hidden secrets of our wars these days. You should also be aware that the military manufactures cluster bombs to look identical to UN food aid packets, so these children go to pick these up thinking they are food and they explode in their hands. It's a dirty mess...war should be obsolete, but because WE are not in control of decision making, the evil elite continue to manipulate the poorest of our nations into total subservience through violence.
That's because you're looking through the eyes of a mentally handicapped person. People like you are shameful and not a true American. Mommy and daddy must not have loved you enough if you think that murdering innocent people is somehow admirable. Why don't you just do us all a favor and put a gun in your mouth, k? Cause when the revolution comes, you are going to be crushed along with everyone who thinks the spilling of innocent blood in foreign countries is a "good job". What a fucktard u r.
Yes, Fuck Bush. Not Fuck USA. Many good people live here, just as in other countries. Who we need to be fucking is the leaders of all our countries and the business interests that control them. The people of each country are totally unaware of what is happening, but the leaders know exactly what is going on. The revolution is on the horizon, it's time to wake the fuck up and join sides!!
exactly. Religion is used as a fake division point between us when in reality all religions are EXACTLY the same. Our world leaders know this and use it against us. It's time to WAKE THE FUCK UP people!!! Our governments and controllers are setting us up for a massive failure while they sit in their mansions laughing about how easy it was to manipulate all of us into murdering each other. Dictatorships don't work, but convincing the peasants to murder each other works brilliantly. PLEASE WAKE UP
If you took the worlds religions, and stripped them of the "details" and looked at the bigger picture, you see the similarities. Maybe not "all", but MOST. They preach love, compassion, tolerance and MOST cater to the poor. Miracles are real, and because each church does them within their church, they believe their GOD is THE GOD, when in reality-IT'S ALL THE SAME GOD! MOST religions also teach to ridicule those who do not believe as they do. I grew up in a christian church, and its my opinion.
I don't think everyone will agree with me, and that's just fine by me. It's my opinion based on my experiences, as any opinion is. And most religions, in my opinion, tend to control their followers within the confines of the opinions i listed above.
most religions, in my opinion, are based upon a deity or prophet (or both) and every facet of each religion trickles down from that fact mixed with metaphorical stories and constant rituals. This is obviously an over simplification. If every organized religious sect believes they are the "chosen ones", and they exclude all others, then they are either all correct...or all mistaken. Do you see the unanswerable question? The differences are tradition, based on geography and geneology(simplified).
I grew up in a heavily christian environment, VBS, choir and church plays. I am not a christian in any aspect, though. I was baptized, but to me this is little more than an ancient ritual which is ascribed importance in that particular religion. I prefer to take the same stance as the unanswerable question--I can't say there is a "god"--and I can't say there isn't.
We have become nothing more than "Human Resources"
Over population is driving down the value of individual life.
Much the same way printing too much money drives down the value of the dollar.
We need a change of consciousness(Think collectively instead of as egocentric, greedy, territorial selfish animals) craft (Stop wasting vast amounts of resources building and destroying weapons of war, mass destruction and the labors of humanity) economics Stop being mindless mass consumption units)
I'm not sure where you got that information, but it's absolutely false. It's not as if American troops are specifically targeting children, but the American military randomly bombs civilian structures because they had information about "insurgents". The only reason Iran even comes up in conversations is because our govt. is attempting to wrangle a conflict with Iran. Don't be fooled. It's a total farce. The majority of casualties in Iraq are a direct result of US occupation, period.
Oh yeah very good you blame communism for muredering people but remember that I can blame democracy for this and say that all democrats are child murdering bastards. HOW DO'S THAT FEEL YOU HEARTLESS AND BRAINLESS MORONS THAT THINK THAT THE ONLY GOOD COMMIE IS A DEATH COMMIE???

Most interviews about painful subjects ask the interviewee about difficult subjects. That's what makes interviews so powerful is to see the pain, and hear the experiences of those who lived through it. I'm sure that little boy lives with his pain every day, whether or not this guy had interviewed him about it. It just gives us a glimpse inside the world of suffering that our illegal occupation has caused....sorry if it offended you....

You are correct that I cite no sources for these photos. What I'm trying to convey is the senseless death that has occurred because of our occupation in Iraq.

The dichotomy of this "warzone" is so upside down that nobody is in the right at this point. Enough atrocities have been committed by both sides that the original point is completely lost. WMD's? Connections with Al Queda? Not to mention the radical destabilization of the entire region due to political alliances forging

new inroads due to new players being implanted in the highest offices of the Iraqi regime. Also, the rapid expansion of US military bases all over Iraq. These only serve to tempt the snake to strike. I don't think ALL military personnel are mind controlled slaves, I was a little brisk with that statement. What I truly believe is that our military has a VERY effective way of using physical, mental and emotional psychology to break down a young persons mind,
OpusJones 2 years ago
and scrub them of the ability to have sympathy or empathy for other people. You cannot teach a human being to fire a weapon at an indeterminate enemy without inadvertently taking away the compassion they have for normal human civilians in their real life. This is an old story, one that has gotten much more press in recent years, and that is the soldiers who are coming back to the their normal lives after a 14 month deployment, or more, and not being able to fit back into their former lives
OpusJones 2 years ago
without SERIOUS difficulty. Many have reported inability to work, some have been plagued with migraine headaches and PTSD, some have even murdered strangers and loved ones. Obviously this doesn't represent all of them, but it is a significant amount. I worked with a marine who had been part of the first siege on Fallujah, he had been there for 14 months, and when i could ever get any information from him, it was grisly and disturbing. He was a TOTALLY different guy when he came back.
OpusJones 2 years ago
I truly believe that there are many young kids over there who display the courage and moral fortitude worthy of the title HERO. Of this, there is no doubt. But I believe we were absolutely swindled into a foreign occupation that we have NO IDEA what the true reasons were for starting.
Also remember how we must look to them; an almost exclusively Christian coalition occupying an equally Muslim country. Maybe it doesn't matter to you, but i can assure you it matters deeply to them.
OpusJones 2 years ago
No, you are conveying propaganda, not pure nor simple.
I guess you forgot our first war with Saddam, also that he murdered his own people, the torture, rape rooms, every type of violation of human rights, that he was in violation of the UN security resolutions, oil for food, I could go on and on but you'll ignore the picture anyway.
ScarlettKnights 2 years ago
No, I won't ignore the picture. In global politics, America is infamous for supporting brutal dictators if it means securing military power, resources such as metals and jewels and oil, and securing the rights to lead them on UN votes and resolutions. I'm fully aware Saddam had a brutal dictatorship, but that doesn't justify an illegal occupation of Iraq. Before we ever went, the UN weapons inspectors
OpusJones 2 years ago
(although believing he was hiding SOME of his stockpile) were vehemently reporting to the UN that Saddam had NO MAJOR WEAPONS CACHES! This report was scoffed at by the USA, and we proceeded as PLANNED. Don't forget-the MAIN REASON we invaded Iraq was because he was an IMMINENT NUCLEAR THREAT to the USA and it's allies. This of course had to be revised, seeing as he had no major weapons caches.
So why were we there to have our brave kids slaughtered, and to slaughter? Hmm?

I'm speaking my mind here, and I apologize if I'm somehow not making any sense.
I think our soldiers are being led from a top down system that has a much different agenda in place than the one we are led to believe in the mainstream press is the truth.

Respectfully, agreed, I don't believe anything the mainstream media has to say anymore. However, I don't believe that our soldiers are idiots being led around like dogs. Do you have friends, family, or parents in the military?
ScarlettKnights 2 years ago
I have friends and family actively serving in three different branches of the armed services. You can't liken them to dogs being led around. The manipulation of our soldiers is something that happens at a much higher, cerebral level. They are systematically broken down through training and repetition to respond to certain stimuli, mainly that of how to defeat an "enemy". The problem arises for me when our military is used for something that we have no knowledge of. I think we can all admit now
OpusJones 2 years ago
that our mainstream reasons for going to Iraq were total bullshit. Nobody has paid for this egregious mistake except for our armed forces. It's horseshit, and I am pissed off that our miltary is second best to the private mercenaries that have no laws which control the conduct of their actions in Iraq. Honestly, my anger is faced more towards those men than our military, but I know that our miltary is being fed bad info from our govt to convince them that they are "saving America". No illusions

And the fact that no one really knows why in the hell we are still there years after saddam was murdered if the "reason" we went was to take a brutal dictator out of power...which isn't our job as a country to begin with. I don't know more than our intelligence services, but I do know horseshit when I see it, and this war was a total fabrication from the start.
OpusJones 2 years ago
Please, you must know that in order to work as a cohesive group, to endure stresses inconsistent with civilian life and to perform on the battlefield that soldiers must be broken down from the individual to the cohesive group in order to achieve the goal of protecting our Country.

But you are missing mine, which is that the highest levels of our government are being manipulated by corporate interests that don't have a damn thing to do with keeping America safe.

Now there is an entire generation of Iraqi children who are growing up hating the USA, and not for our freedoms, but for our imperialism.

It is a common tactic used by various insurgent/terrorist/freedom fighter (whatever you want to call them) organizations to paint their adversary in a negative light. Everybody has propoganda.

4.5 Million Orphans in Iraq: Protests Over Food and Shelter
by grtv
Deborah Lutterbeck.
BAGHDAD — Children are the victims of violence in war-torn Iraq.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs estimate that around 4,5 million children are orphans.
Nearly 70% of them lost their parents since the invasion.
Around 600,000 children are living in the streets without a house or food to survive.
Only 700 children are living in the 18 orphanages existing in the country.'
StSimonMartyr 11 months ago
@damsl76 I agree with you about how the Iraqi children are dying. I talked to a soldier and he said that some of the deaths are from bombs. Others are caught in the crossfires of battles. Some people want to believe that our soldiers are just killing the kids for no reason. We'll find out the truth after the war is over. Once that we pull out it'll be just like the Killing Fields of Cambodia and Vietnam. The Taliban will take revenge on all of the Iraqi people including kids who betrayed them.

Because modern military weaponry can target "suspected insurgent" hideouts, i.e: people"s homes, and hit them with pepper bombs which cause maximum damage to anyone close to the explosion. Also, quiet but effective weapons such as the thermobaric weapons being silently used make it difficult to limit the damage affect to "targets" only. TB weapons are totally heinous, as well as the depleted uranium we are tipping our bullets and rockets with that explode into dust and are then breathed by all.

This video is upsetting but the thing is American soldiers dont storm Iraq and kill everyone including civilians its all those terrorists that are willing to kill as many of there people to kill 1 American soldier which is causing all this destruction. Thats why if a terrorist is ever captured they should be tortured for the rest of their life for all the civilians lives they have taken in Iraq, U.S. soldiers and Iraqi children.

I completely disagree. Pre-emptive violence hurts everybody, especially the integrity of the aggressor. By allowing our country to pre-emptively attack countries that pose no immediate danger is a stupid and careless way to attempt peace. This is why we live in a democracy, we are supposed to be TALKING with our enemies, figuring out what is wrong, and tryng to make amends. When we murder innocent people, all we do is create more enemies to pre-emptively attack. Don't you see that?
OpusJones 3 years ago
It isn't the only way. It doesn't have to happen, especially in this case.
Those children and their families do not pose a threat to us.
Just because Americans do not agree with the way that other countries choose to live their lives, doesn't make it our business to go into their country and kill their people.
Wake up people, this shouldn't be happening. We need to educate ourselves and find out what our government is really doing.

We are in there to get them out of poverty, to get them out of stoning, to get them out of gunfire by their own nation, to get them out of road-side bombs that happen from religious extremists, were in there to help the mothers and girls to get education, to let them have better rights.
Were not in there to hurt them, and if you think that, grow up.
People dont look into things, they see something and believe it, and dont think, and I HATE argueing with them like a child.

First of all, we aren't arguing like children. If you watched the video, then you saw, as most who are aware of the TRUTH about Iraq, we aren't there restoring essential services and improving education. The radical religious propaganda has sprung up 1000 fold since we took Saddam from power. You say we're there to keep them out of gunfire, but how are we doing that? BY GUNFIRE!
There is no path to peace. Peace is the path.

It's the same thing with assasinations, when WILL PEOPLE REALIZE THAT THIS IS AT THE COST OF HUMAN LIFE!? For example, John Lennon had a fantastic message, & opinion, and he was assassinated for it, & we simply shurg it off!? Damn it, we're turning into what we hated from the beggining! DO SOMETHING!

why shud we care for iraqi children .. terrorists dont care for our children.

@UK-The concept of "terrorists" is one of misguided information. Not ONE arab or Iraqi has EVER hurt any American child, and it's absurd to think that we have the right to cluster bomb these kids into oblivion. If you were in an Iraqi's shoes right now, you would be singing a whole different tune. American aggression and murder is despicable, and there's really no reason for it. We should not have gone, but we did. We should not be there now, so we need to leave NOW! I'm sick of it!!!!!

That is what disqualifies you from being a good person. If we kill children, then we are terrorists.
Never sink to the level that you are trying to fight.

and they still die...
the usa used ammunition with uranium and the people didnt know that.children play at the tanks,the desert sand is poisoned too.
the usa soldiers didnt knew about that and got ill too till following generations.
it is so awful,i hate war...
janedoe0508 3 years ago
too true. Depleted uranium is one of the biggest hidden secrets of our wars these days. You should also be aware that the military manufactures cluster bombs to look identical to UN food aid packets, so these children go to pick these up thinking they are food and they explode in their hands. It's a dirty mess...war should be obsolete, but because WE are not in control of decision making, the evil elite continue to manipulate the poorest of our nations into total subservience through violence.

That's because you're looking through the eyes of a mentally handicapped person. People like you are shameful and not a true American. Mommy and daddy must not have loved you enough if you think that murdering innocent people is somehow admirable. Why don't you just do us all a favor and put a gun in your mouth, k? Cause when the revolution comes, you are going to be crushed along with everyone who thinks the spilling of innocent blood in foreign countries is a "good job". What a fucktard u r.

Yes, Fuck Bush. Not Fuck USA. Many good people live here, just as in other countries. Who we need to be fucking is the leaders of all our countries and the business interests that control them. The people of each country are totally unaware of what is happening, but the leaders know exactly what is going on. The revolution is on the horizon, it's time to wake the fuck up and join sides!!

exactly. Religion is used as a fake division point between us when in reality all religions are EXACTLY the same. Our world leaders know this and use it against us. It's time to WAKE THE FUCK UP people!!! Our governments and controllers are setting us up for a massive failure while they sit in their mansions laughing about how easy it was to manipulate all of us into murdering each other. Dictatorships don't work, but convincing the peasants to murder each other works brilliantly. PLEASE WAKE UP

"religions are EXACTLY the same"?!
I'm not so sure about that.
You sound like somebody who is
not religious person,
that's probably why
you say that.
TeslaGenius 3 years ago
If you took the worlds religions, and stripped them of the "details" and looked at the bigger picture, you see the similarities. Maybe not "all", but MOST. They preach love, compassion, tolerance and MOST cater to the poor. Miracles are real, and because each church does them within their church, they believe their GOD is THE GOD, when in reality-IT'S ALL THE SAME GOD! MOST religions also teach to ridicule those who do not believe as they do. I grew up in a christian church, and its my opinion.
OpusJones 3 years ago
I don't think everyone will agree with me, and that's just fine by me. It's my opinion based on my experiences, as any opinion is. And most religions, in my opinion, tend to control their followers within the confines of the opinions i listed above.
OpusJones 3 years ago
Well, what you say really is
that God is the same not "religions".
As "christian" you should know
that there are some important
differences between example;
Muslim and Christian religions.
TeslaGenius 3 years ago
most religions, in my opinion, are based upon a deity or prophet (or both) and every facet of each religion trickles down from that fact mixed with metaphorical stories and constant rituals. This is obviously an over simplification. If every organized religious sect believes they are the "chosen ones", and they exclude all others, then they are either all correct...or all mistaken. Do you see the unanswerable question? The differences are tradition, based on geography and geneology(simplified).
OpusJones 3 years ago
I grew up in a heavily christian environment, VBS, choir and church plays. I am not a christian in any aspect, though. I was baptized, but to me this is little more than an ancient ritual which is ascribed importance in that particular religion. I prefer to take the same stance as the unanswerable question--I can't say there is a "god"--and I can't say there isn't.

We have become nothing more than "Human Resources"
Over population is driving down the value of individual life.
Much the same way printing too much money drives down the value of the dollar.
We need a change of consciousness(Think collectively instead of as egocentric, greedy, territorial selfish animals) craft (Stop wasting vast amounts of resources building and destroying weapons of war, mass destruction and the labors of humanity) economics Stop being mindless mass consumption units)

I'm not sure where you got that information, but it's absolutely false. It's not as if American troops are specifically targeting children, but the American military randomly bombs civilian structures because they had information about "insurgents". The only reason Iran even comes up in conversations is because our govt. is attempting to wrangle a conflict with Iran. Don't be fooled. It's a total farce. The majority of casualties in Iraq are a direct result of US occupation, period.

Iran is targeting the Iraqi children, not the US troops.
