How bad does it have to get?

[Blodrast]

Definitely agree with the fac that the logic "there are worse things..." is deeply flawed - for sooo many reasons, some of which (very good ones) were already stated.
It is a very sad event indeed.

oh, and btw, I remember there was a great big number of outraged posts when someone said "Meh" referring to the 9/11 deaths (following the same logic, that more people than that die every day in car crashes/Africa/whatever).

We (USA) broke it, ergo we own the problems of and in Iraq. There were other solutions aside from invasion, instead our government's leaders chose the path of war. They did so with arrogance, without understanding the culture(s), and without the approval of their military, or the UN ("We can go it alone", Bush). It was ill conceived, poorly planned, and a fubar from the get go. And now, the Bushys' are blaming everyone but themselves for the messopotamia they have us in.

We broke it, we are responsible for fixing it - not some brand new inexperienced government we installed.

I should add I assumed them to while making my previous posts.. So anyone ?

No it was a new group funded in part by the government and the Red Crescent .

I love you guys, my nipples ache with anticipation for the next "We want Saddam back" post.
Strange fantasy land you live in there Dave , can you find any posts anywhere on this forum that fit your lala land perceptions ?

Doesn’t change the fact that the individual citizens have a personal responsibility to carryon in a civil manner and act according to the law. I doubt that the interim government condones executing people for trying to help children. It’s not the US’s fault these guys are dead; it’s the moral lacking “moral guardians of Baghdad” who have decided to take this opportunity of unrest as an excuse to try and further their twisted goals.

Western leaders

Yes because "they" all sat around one of those big wooden tables in shadow and rubbed their hands together in glee. BAD MEN IN BLACK SIUTS

C'mon I think we all feel that to be a little more specific and a lot less general helps.
