Maybe support the resistance to the insurgents who use suicide and car bombs to kill innocent “babies and women”.
I was merely making fun of Lixy’s rhetoric which stresses that we only kill “women and babies” in Iraq, much like Israel does when it attacks Palestinian terrorists. It is total propaganda and I was mocking it.
Is the “resistance” somehow noble when it senselessly slaughters civilians on a daily basis? And, in light of this, how Blackwater are criminals?
At least we admitted our mistake and offered to pay repatriation, though it was mocked by someone who finds fault with anything associated with the USA.
When was the last time a terrorist offered reparation? And not to the families of suicide bombers?
Yeah, we know. You were greeted as liberators yada yada…
The majority of Iraqis say they were better off under Saddam. Heck, even in the US, 68% are opposing the war according to a CNN poll published earlier this week.

So, do the Iraqi people welcome Al-Qaeda, with it’s suicide and car bombs, or the Madhi malitia, with it’s Sunni killing death squads, as liberators? Probably not, since they are rising up against them with US help.
68% oppose the war, how many oppose the deaths caused by al-qaeda and the Shia death squads?

Dare to dream.
And I was pointing out that it sounds like you are blaming Iraqis for their families being killed by blackwater or terrorists or any other warzone elements, simply because they allow their babies to be present in that theater. Not all the Iraqis can afford to flee the country.

If this was directed at me, I have no idea what any of it has to do with my post.

Obviously, close to 100% of the population. But I fail to see your point. As far as I’m concerned, those were a direct consequence of your president’s war. Not that Saddam was a saint or anything, but you had ABSOLUTELY no right to screw up the country on a whim.
If you can’t understand why 68% of Americans can oppose the war and still not be terrorist-sympathizers, try this clues.

Al Queda affiliated groups were in Iraq prior to 2003. Towns in northern Iraq along the Iranian border were controlled by a Taliban like authority. Our invasion of Iraq stopped a coup against Hussein by Kurdish Sunnis and the establishment of a radical sunni state that would have drifted into a civil war even more violent than now. It would have ended up as the second Iran-Iraq war.

I was not blaming the Iraqis for what is happening in their country. I just find it amusing that we only seem to kill “women and babies.” Fallujah was a crawling cess- pool of extremists, who cut the heads off their prisoners, and when we attacked and cleared them all out, Lixy says we killed “women and babies.” That is an example of the common Muslim rhetoric I was talking about.
And the last part wasn’t directed to you, I was throwing my opinion out there.
