Should we warn the women and children of Iraq

Post-9/11 Era Forum

What are some feelings/ opinions on the possibly of harming women and children of Iraq. Do you think that we should
warn these people as much as we do? Should we be spending so much money to spread leaflets all over, telling
people what to do and where not to go during this "battle time"

I would not be too worried about it, the US will not target innocent civilains

No I guess my whole point is......are they so innocent?? You see already children trained to behave in the same manor
as their father or uncle. Hiding weapons and holding anti-American testaments in the street. When are we following
too many "rules" of war. They obviously do not care about our women and children.

very true, and truth be told i don't care about theirs. the thing is if we kill any there would be a huge outcry and all of the anti-war people would go crazy and call us child killers

I see that point as well. In fact in my book it seems to be the only reason why our government does take such efforts to protect them. But they will grow up to be terrorist just like their daddy was. When the brain washing hapens at such a young age, there is often little hope for change down the road. It's not a good thought to have, but I am for the war, whatever needs to be done. Hopefully there will be resolution and not so many deaths, on either sides really.

very true, did you see the pic of a baby that was strapped to a bomb?

no I am afraid that I missed that.
This is all such a dilemma, because they are still people. I just happen to feel "not so bad" about taking them out. Maybe that speaks volumes about my character. Whatever.

here it is, if it works

too much really!!!! oh my
ha ha ha ha

this proves your point, that future generations will be the same

The whole reason I stumbled onto this website was really during a search for stats on what countries support our efforts of war. Does anyone know a good link, or know who's on the "big list"?

ok, this fact means nothing

thats right, it means nothing because it is totally off thetopic of iraq, and what kind of physco are u, get a life

Well this is not my fight here (caps vs skippy).....but just to name 1......think world trade center. 9-11

Sorry.....you can call me evil-sicko as well.

ok, skippy you are really getting me angry if you care about their citizens so much go over there and be a Human Shield. LAMO

I'm out of here for now. I'll see what kind of right wing, flag waving, foreigner hating propaganda you've posted later Caps.

okay......I don't think he is saying that war is some big noble thing. sure no one would want to send their family members over there.......but last I heard the military is voluntary???
And what I said does make sense. I don't care about anyone who doesn't care about me and my own. Period. 9-11 pissed me off. I am sorry if I feel that they are all connected in many ways.
You know people are entitled to feel differently than you, doen't mean that they are crazy or a sicko. I don't think that anyone on this board was being so bold as to say blow them all up, I didn't hear anyone saying, great kill kill kill. You are reading what you want out of this whole thing....problem is you are not reading what everyone else is really saying. People see what they want to see. Period.

ownage

Is it really necessary to fling such stupid, insulting remarks around, people? I mean, honestly. The whole point of this board is to OPENLY discuss differences of opinion, so please, enough flame-shooting, already!

hey SKippy i'm a evil sico too i hate u and all of those dirty ragheads in Iraq kill em all i could care less they would do the same to us So [BLEEPED]!

Man, the hate is just boiling over in here

Saddam bogarts the money or else the kids would have it. This has been going on for years and the UN has even admitted it. Perhaps a small amount will change now that the UN is present in the capital, but I doubt it.

hahaha - there are so many mis-edits and type-os
If your going solely off this, I am sorry.
There appears to be some respectable information - but if you can sign up to be an editor, a person can change any verbatim they want.

Skippy.... just another item to read, if you are interested: http://stltoday.com/stltoday/news/s... raq+resolution

Nasty arguments and name calling. Cant we all just get along. hahahahaha.

Well yes I do see him differntly. By all means I don't believe that he or anyone else is perfect. There will always be something that others do not like. As I stated before, at first he was not my first choice for President; however he was the top pick for me at the time, as there was no other I like more. I don't believe that he is a puppet, infact I think that the appointment of his key people was a strategic move on his part.

Truthfully this country is all about big buisness seems that it will always be about that.......people from texas have a way of doing things all their own. ha ha ha

Really though, the "god bless america" thing is soley based upon 9-11. People all of the sudden realized what it is like to have such horror so close to home. Flags are everywhere now, more than ever before. So when any leader.....well anyone doing public speaking uses the "god bless" or "united we stand" those kinds of phases it brings a responce from anyone!! I think that it's unfortant that 9-11 is sometimes used to gather people's attentions for other purposes, than talking about 9-11. Hope that makes sense?

Overall I do not think he is doing poorly at being a strong leader. Hell, even though I didn't like Clinton or all of his personal affairs.....he did okay as well. It's difficult job to say the very least and I feel that there are plenty of intelligent people around to advise him when needed. What do you think of Blair>?

I was mainly conservative in most of my views and when I heard Blair talking for the Labour party before he was elected I wished he was a conservative as his speech was amazing. He is certainly a great talker and believable, coming across as genuine. He has proved himself as a great diplomat and seems to have respect from other leaders. He's been portayed by some as a control freak, by-passing Parliament on some descisions.

Regarding Iraq, he seems to be taking a great gamble, mainly with his own party and the UK people. He will probably survive as he is held in great regard by most of the country. Funnily enough most of his support at the moment is coming from the opposition conservatives, who are bang up for the war. He certainly seems to be one of the best PM's we've had for ages, mind you I can only really remember Maggie Thatcher and she was blinding aswell.

Well I would agree with you on the fact that he comes across genuinely. And yes it seems that he has taken a a huge risk!!! Actually, no offense, it was very surprising really that he has taken such chances.

Oh and going back to Bush........I think his speeches have gotten much better. There was some major question in my mind about hi public speaking at first, but has since become more confident. I try to give everyone the benifit of the doubt, even though he is "the man", everyone thinks that he should be perfect all the time........ at the end of the day he is just a person like you and I. We all have our faults as well as our strong points, I just hope that he will see us through whatever is to come. Really, I am sure that he will.

LOL, waterboy is mean, but funny LOL
