Don't you just love Iraqis in the U.S. who thank us for liberating

their country. It's like "thank you for liberating my country, but I'm staying away from that hell hole" Why don't they go back and help out instead of sitting on their butts and telling everyone how glad they are we went to war.

1. It couldn't be scripted better if it

came from Hollywood! I've seen at least 20 American Iraqi's thanking Bush and America for their freedom and crying and high fiving each other.

[matcom]

3. uh huh

funny how we don't see the 10's of Thousands who are bloody and dead, mamed and crippled on our tv's high fiving each other too!

oh wait. they can't high five each other. they have no arms left.

my bad

2. Does iraqi law allow them to vote or Bush law allow them to vote?

How do they prove citizenship and voting rights when they left Iraq 20, 30 years ago?
How do we know they did not renounce citizenship when they left their country?
How rigged is this whole scenario anyhow?

Dammit, there I go asking pesky questions again.

9. What difference could it possibly make? The "votes" are already tallied.

They have been since the election and the designated stooge were announced.

10. that's what I was wondering. When I was watching some of the US

Iraqis voting, I was thinking are they dual citizens? What's the story?

All the middle class and upper class Iraqis that went to Jordan for safety... I wonder if they are voting there too.

4. It's like Miami Cubans saying we should invade Cuba.

What is that figure I read- something like 65-70% of Cubans are black? But the Miami Cubans certainly aren't. The nobility want their castles back.

5. only 10% voting

a definite minority

[matcom]

6. but don't you know?

that 10% gives * a mandate :eyes:

7. Please. Theres no need to villainize these folks

I can remember South African aquaintances being similarly happy when that regime collapsed. And they have never been back to their homeland either. Dont take the casual words of people in euphoria out of context; they have relatives back home and whatnot.

Direct your feelings where it truly belongs, at the top, not at some poor, powerless little creature at the bottom of the foodchain.

8. I had the RW nutcase say... "oh im in tears looking at how happy these ...

people are who are voting"
i said "just wait till tomm.. im sure the sight will be totally diffrent"


and she was quite after that...

11. Native country

Iraq is their native country. While they might be happy to see it no longer controlled by a horrible dictator, they are under no obligation to leave their adopted home (the U.S.). Should all German-Americans have left after WWII and returned home since Hitler was gone?
