as a shia from Afghanistan i support shias and American invasion in Iraq and Afghanistan....cause they helped us find freedom

@Arabchick18 No you don't (agre with me). I've never said to hate Moqtada.

Who says Moqtada wants Iraq to be like Saudi Arabia? Moqtada is not fighting to create a Islamic state, he wants a free Iraq.

And who says that all Iraqis share the same idea's (like you and I)? That's not the case. But that does'nt have to be a problem, as long as we live together in peace.

@brandonbarricade with all respect im just saying thousands of iraqis died for no reason, america took lots of oil from iraq by the end and thats the reason why they came, i know not all americans are the same but they make americans look all the same

[brandonbarricade]

Well just to be clear you say America as if all Americans think alike. I don't know if you are aware that a large % of Americans oppose the occupation of other country's such as the Middle East. At the moment we are in a revolutionary state. The leader of the U.S are not hearing us speak out against wars of there agendas.

now we are fighting to get back our proud U.S.A From the tyranny they create.

America thinks they done a good thing when they killed sadam hussein, NO. sadam was bad but americans even more ,why go into iraq for weapons that had been destroyed. yu always use 9/11 as a excuse to attak muslims

[Arabchick18]

@AustrianAtheist its not iraqi sunni and shia but stupid foriegn assholes who come into iraq and causing war.Even though their is conflicts between the iraqi shia and iraqi sunnis but most of them get along and don't hate each other.Its stupid losers who are not iraqi that come into iraq and going off setting bombs and harming innocent lives.

[Arabchick18]

@3iraqi88 walla i agree with you.This mother fucker and other stupid islamist in iraq should be killed.They are destoying a peaceful iraq.In iraq we could of had a nice peaceful country but stupid people like al sadr is not making it happen.Inshllah all islamist groups in iraq get destroyed.Most iraqis are secular and want a secular country.We don't want iraq to become like saudia arabia.
