By now the whole world knows about the worst terrorist attack to ever rock Baghdad. 200 are dead and more than 200 are injured. The attack was a disgusting act of terror carried out by Sunni terrorists against innocent Shia as an act of revenge. Do I also need to point out the following which Big Pharaoh stated already?
Three days ago 5 Sunnis riding explosives laden cars attacked the Shia dominated Sadr City in Baghdad. Over 200 were instantly killed, scores were wounded and maimed.
Yesterday, a group of Shias waited outside a Sunni mosque as the worshipers were coming out. They grabbed 6 Sunnis, poured kerosene on them, and set them on fire. They burned them alive.
Today, a group of Sunnis stormed two Shia homes, grabbed 21 men and gunned them down in front of their families.
Iraqis are doing to each other more than what Saddam did to them.
Love isn’t it?
Coalition troops and especially US troops are struggling to keep order, while the filthy terrorists continue killing innocent people (women and children included) and continue wrecking havoc in hopes that America will finally leave and be defeated.What kind of a sick strategy is that?
I’m fed up with all these retarded people who are so damn happy that the “kuffar terrorist Americans” are suffering. That’s apparently what some guy I bumped into today said and what I bet many are also saying. He’s happy about the news of the attack. He’s happy that US troops are failing in helping Iraqis establish a democracy and getting the mission accomplished. He’s happy that the American military machine can’t stop the terrorists. His hatred for America is much greater than his desire to see Iraqis living in a peaceful democratic country.
Now I seriously can’t get it? How are “filthy kuffar” US troops the terrorists in this case? The pigs responsible for Abu Ghraib? Terrorists. Yes, in my dictionary, they’re terrorists. The low life horrendous sub-human animals who raped the Iraqi girl and killed all her family? Yes, absolute disgusting terrorists. Hiroshima & Nagasaki? Yes, an act of terror. In my dictionary that’s an act of terror. US army now in Iraq? Terrorists? Really? Terrorists?
A few filthy American soldiers don’t mean that the whole American army is a terrorist army. It’s not (ask the Kuwaitis and see what they’ll tell you). I know a few people in the US marines. Hell, one of them is a good friend of mine and used to be my classmate and I can tell you straight up that he’s no damn terrorist for sure. He’s the absolute opposite actually and probably one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.
American troops are already in Iraq whether we like it or not and they’re working hard to help the Iraqis bring order. Shouldn’t we support that? Yes, stupid Rumsfailed has failed. Yes, new strategies are needed. Yes, there have been disgusting acts committed by some US soldiers. But still shouldn’t we oppose the terrorists there? I mean for God’s sake, how on earth are they “freedom fighters”? They don’t even follow Islamic law when it comes to Jihad. Do they? No, they DON’T. At least the US army isn’t interested in killing innocent people on purpose. Because if they were they wouldn’t be wasting their time and money developing high tech precision guided missiles costing millions of dollars to surgically strike enemy targets and avoid civilian casualties as much as possible. Why would they want to go through that entire headache if they really did love killing innocent people? Why? Tell me please because maybe somewhere in my brain there’s some lose nut that needs some tightening. Tell me. Why would they bother with all that?
Forgive me for my angry rant but I don’t want to discuss the reasons Americans went into Iraq. I’m not interested in arguing about the reasons for America’s invasion and whether it was justified or not because that’s not the real question here. The real question here is about ethics of battle so please anti-American, pro-Iraqi militia people tell me… tell me if you’re out there who the real terrorists are. Who are they? Are the real terrorists the US troops or the Iraqi militia? I’m just dying to know. And for the record, if you’re anti-American, fine. You know what? No, seriously, it’s fine. It’s all good with me. Those are your political views and I respect them, but if your anti-Americanism is so intense to the point that it blinds you from the obvious, then there’s something seriously wrong with you. No? Fine, then. Tell me, who are the real terrorists? Are they the US troops or the Iraqi militia? And while you’re at it, you can probably check this post by Neurotic Iraqi Wife for another perspective and this one too called “Righteous Indignation” by Mesopotamian. Oh ya and one more thing… may butcher Bin Laden, blood thirsty Sadr and all their filthy followers burn in hell. Amen!

Drima, have you ever read Konfused Kid’s blog? He’s got a very interesting discussion going on with a shi3a iraqi (he himself is a sunnie iraqi) - in the comments’ section of one of his last posts.
No, the US army is no terrorist army. But it’s politically incorrect to even suggest they’re no terrorist army…
Actually, the story about Sunni worshippers being burned alive appears to be collapsing:

“”The State of Mullas and Militias, thats what Iraq has become. And you tell me occupied. Im gonna say this once and for all to all those who keep saying we are under occupation. YES we are under occupation by the peasants and the IGNORANT people that think just like you. “”
No truer words… Trust me, we have these in the US as well though here they are not of the Muslim faith, stupidity, fanaticism, and extremism don’t confine themselves to one religion.
The only difference really is that here they have (so far) not usually been able to dictate to the rest of the country.
I wish I had something hopeful to say, I don’t. The truth is that it is about 90% certain we are leaving Iraq and very soon. Bush has no “political capital” at this point and congress is going to bow to public pressure to leave. In truth I haven’t been opposed to this for some time now as it became clear we were both unwilling and unable to commit the necessary resources or use them in any realistically strategic way to actually avoid or at least ameliorate the violence.
Frankly I never understood why anyone ever thought the Bush administration strategy was “tough”. Rumsfeld was more concerned with attempting to run our military as if it were a group of minimum wage workers in one of his beloved corporations….do more work with less people, pay them less, give them less equipment and show the “shareholders” a better bottom line.
“Tough” would have been deploying much greater numbers of troops (yes, at that time we could have) initiating martial law immediately, disarming the militias, etc. It would have “alienated” and pissed off a lot of people. Guess what, they hate us anyway and more of them would be alive today had we done this.
I was opposed to going in there in the first place but since we did I advocated for us to at least try to do something right. I fully realize this would have taken a massive amount of resources over a very long period of time….oh, gee….it did anyway.
I’m not taking any pleasure in being correct in any of my assessments, I would dearly have loved to have been proven wrong. There is just not a single thing that is gratifying about watching thousands of human lives lost in the most unimaginably brutal ways. I don’t think it took a genius to figure what the outcome was going to be here, what I cannot understand is how we as a country managed to not understand this.
As Tommy pointed out, there is mounting evidence that many of the stories regarding attrocities in Iraq might be false:

Um, and I should believe “Observations of the World from the Heart of Jesusland!”. Ok. Just as soon as I begin smoking crack.
Yes, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, even your right wingnut FOX, are all just making it up…all the dead people being reported every day are fictional. Now go tell that to the families lined up at the morgue searching for their missing loved ones, I’m sure they’ll be relieved to discover it’s all a hoax.
Drima, are you beginning to understand why so much of the “right” disgusts me?
Drima, it is gratifying to me that you exonerate our American military, the most professional and competent in the world. Nothing I have ever said or written conflicts with your support. Everything I have written and said points at the civilian political leadership (of our once-great country) which I have always voted and demonstrated against: it is the current White House occupant who I blame first, last, and always for this abominable, costly and unnecessary invasion of Iraq.
