KILLING PEOPLE IS WRONG.

[marano35]

Everyone has lost someone at some time in thier life. It hurts. It makes us feel like shit. Most of us in this country that have lost someone, have lost them to things beyond control, disease, old age, health problems, accidents. It still sucks. Imagine if those we had lost had been lost due to some outside force, if they had been lost to something or someone that could be pointed at as the reason for their death. Adding to the hurt of the loss we would have to contend with the fact that it did not have to happen. Whatever the actual number of Iraqi's who have died in the war who had nothing to do with the war, whether its 30,000 or 130,000 say that it deeply effected at least three people. If it were you, would you be enraged? Would you look for revenge? Would you at least not combat or inform on people who were fighting the people you held responsible? Can you say Isurgent?

I can not forget the picture I saw of a small boy a couple of months ago. He was sitting in a pool of blood on some stairs eating a sandwich. The caption stated that he had lost his father in a bombing attack carried out by the U.S.. What part of KILLING IS WRONG do they not understand. Smart bombs my ass, there is no such thing. Bombs are stupid, when they go off they kill whoever is within their desiged killing range. I am tough. I am hardened more than anyone has a right to be and this picture made me cry and still does whenever I think about it. I would be interested to know the change in the mortality rate for Iraq since the unnecessary war started. If there is a hell and I am starting to be sorry that there probably isn't, there will be a special place for the assholes who start wars. I can only hope that they get what they deserve before they go to eternal rest.

welcome to DU

2. So should the Iraqi people be enraged at each other?

Since they seem to be carrying out the vast majority of killings these days?

3. I'd think they'd be enraged at the U.S.

Since this shit wouldn't be happening if we hadn't invaded.

5. You're absolutely correct.

The ultimate fault lies with US.

But I'm more concerned with the people who are killing dozens daily. We aren't the baddest bully on the block anymore. There seems to be a lot of selective outrage in the OP, that's what I'm commenting on. If the OP really hates killing, then the outrage should extend farther than US forces.

4. Thats what we are being told...do you believe it ?????

Do I believe that sectarian violence...

Is a far more deadly problem than US on Iraqi violence? YES.

Maybe three years ago no, today YES.

I'm kinda partial to the Jets btw. Congrats on a good start to the season. Wish we had the same.

8. I don't doubt that ...

there is sectarian violence, but is it worse than before the U.S. invaded? Have more people died at our hands than than Sadam's? Did we put him in place to begin with? So is it not all our fault? Did we give him the means to gas his own people? Did we support him afterwards? Did many people there support him? Do many here support Bush? Were the people who died at the Trade Center victims of Osama Bin Laden or victims of the foreign policy of people controlled by the rich in our country? A lot of questions, huh?
