1. I fail...
...to see the humor of this. My people were "democratic" before euro-trash invaders ever thought of the concept.

2. Not as far-fetched as it sounds
Already there is a migration in Iraq to more rural areas to escape violence. As long as they keep away from the oil fields they'll probably be able to survive (in squalor).

5. Yep, because
as we know, ALL the insurgents in Iraq are just so damned noble, and they're only fighting for the freedom of their people. And look how well they treated Jill Carroll! I mean she said so herself. Oops, that's right, she retracted those statements.

7. get real, and spare me the Jill Caroll stuff
I agree with you, mostly on that, but you know damn well what's going on there, and that it's ALL BUSH's fault

8. Sorry, I'm not as simplistic as some.
I can't believe how people want to simplify complex situations to the degree that they do. Yes, the invasion was criminal. Yes, it created the circumstances that are now extant, but the comparison of the insurgents in Iraq to Native Americans is ludicrous, and frankly, offensive.

Edited on Sun Apr-02-06 05:02 PM by Gabi Hayes
EVERY single thing that happens in Iraq from now on happens because of what the PNAC cronies did

too bad you're offended

quit whining

I'm offended, btw, with your simplistic, one-sided Jill thread. I didn't go over there and waa waa all over it. you're welcome to go back and pontificate all you want.

10. LOL
the charge of whining- against anyone with whom the accuser disagrees is deserving of a law similar to Godwin's. It's become the refuge of those who are incapable of formulating a coherent argument. Rather pathetic, really.
