I'm not Jewish but thanks for the illustration of how disgusting your culture is. I'm Scottish and English and I can trace my family's lineage here all the way back to the first settlers. I have an ancestor who signed the Declaration of Independence. I'm very proud of my family's history here and I love my country.

I was there for the invasion and I was there again a couple years later. You were the ones acting completely ridiculous. The entire world saw you iraqis looting and acting like animals. You should be ashamed of yourselves. It doesn't matter though, count yourself lucky that it was us as opposed to one of your neighbors. I'm sure they would go out of their way to make sure you weren't hurt.

YOU ARE A JEW, I cought you, you are a Jew, yes, you smell a JEW. And here I will put a point. dot.

One more point, we can't just give you democracy. You have to want it also. That means not just electing the first charismatic thug that comes along and electing him one time before he turns into a permanent dictator and never allows a vote again. There is a lot of talk in the world about how violent arabs are, but I never put much merit into that. Your people submit to violent dictators so easily after all. You want respect from us, but you need self-respect first. No sympathy for that.

do you know what, the crimes you have done in Iraq if Hitler hears about them his stomach will turn up and down. 1 million killed, 4 millons refugees, our museums that contained historical arts at least 7000 years old stolen destroyed by you, Baghdad library which was 1000 years old was burned by you, torture, rape, murdering on daily bases have become our standard of daily life. Go to the hell you and your democracy, export it to some body else, we puke now when we hear the word democracy.

[noiwudnttrip]

Democracy takes place from the ground up, not from the top down. America formed it's democracy from the ground up. You will never achieve that because of your society. Also, we are not imperialists, we don't want your country or any other country. If we did, we would have taken them already. You need to realize that arab society produces nothing that the rest of the world wants. Why would we want to incorporate you into our nation? You're a financial drain as it is.

[FarhadOnUtube]

But after all I'm very happy that you admit it is not the democracy you deliver, it is not freedom you wish for other people but all about natural resources you want and about protecting interests as imperialists. Thank you for admitting that.

[FarhadOnUtube]

Here you have a point, we know where are the roots of the problems, few of us do. Those problems are very deeply rooted in our societies and what is sarcastic is that US instead of fighting these roots of the problems and try to help us to eliminate them tries to strengthen these sources of problems. you know what I'm talking about. You ahve been there.

A country that threatens our interests, supports terror against our citizens and attacks his neighbors is our enemy. Why would we widen our perspective to embrace such a country as a friend. Common sense. Live peacefully or suffer the consequences. We aren't going to let you be hostile. We'd be happy if you joined the rest of civilization, but you guys don't seem to be interested in that. It's to your detriment. Get used to troops being there, focus on your family and job instead.
