Over 600,000 INNOCENT Iraqis killed. What exactly did they do to deserve this?

[BigBearJohn]

The GOP is fond of saying we refuse to lose the war.

WHAT WAR?#!@#$??

Usually countries go to war when one country attacks another.
I ask you again. What in hell did Iraq ever do to us to
deserve to have over 600,000 innocent civilians killed,
their country obliterated, their economy destroyed and
their oil fields stolen?

WHAT DID IRAQ DO TO US?

1. What does anyone do to deserve anything?

Such questions are better screamed at the cosmos; we all know the answer.

[calimary]

2. They had the nerve to keep our oil under their sand.

The NOIVE!!!

:eyes:

3. Nothing but having oil on their land

If only the Dem leadership in Congress would start the impeachment process or stand up a/g this murderous administration.

[Rex]

4. Nothing. They were in a country American officials decided to destroy

we hung the leader and started killing people without thought or consequence.

5. You act as if "deserving" means something.

They are in the way of the oil industry, period.

In the immortal words of William Munny "Deserve's got nothing to do with it."

6. 600,000?

I don't think we'll ever know for sure.

Under the Bremer administration in Iraq, the Iraqi's started to take a tally of their dead.

Bremer not happy with the possible consequences of that, passed a law, making it illegal.

So we'll never know.

Sure the current Iraqi government might actually try to take a tally, but dear god, they're too busy selling their own country off to the highest bidder.

8. Considering 1.2 million internally displaced Iraqis

...according to UNHCR in 2006, and around 2 million Iraqis having fled to other countries (The Nation, 2007), 600,000+ dead as a result of the invasion and occupation over 5 years is not unrealistic.

7. Well Helen, we are trying our best not to hit civilians

How dare you question what the President says or does.

9. Who cares...?

After all, they're only nigg...I mean Ay-rabs. It's not like they're human beings or anything... :sarcasm:

:grr:

[Occam Bandage]

10. You act as if "deserve" and "innocent" are words with meanings in geopolitics.

As much as they ought be, they are not.

[Union Thug]

11. Haven't you heard? They've been liberated...

...from their bodies.

[baby_mouse]

12. They were IN THE WAY.

In the way. That's all.

[Arugula Latte]

13. Born with brown skin in a non-Xtian country ... WHAT were they thinking?

I mean, really.

[Swamp Rat]

14. They didn't learn to speak English.

If they had learned to speak English, they would have understood the order to release the oil into our custody.

Silly brown people! :eyes:

15. "One of the great things about America...

...one of the beauties of our country, is that when we see a young, innocent child blown up by an IED, we cry. We don't care what the child's religion may be, or where that child may live, we cry. It upsets us. The enemy knows that, and they're willing to -- they're willing to kill to shake our confidence. That's what they're trying to do."
