That was cute, Ronnie. Oh, but just so you know? I'm pretty sure they have weapons of mass destruction. |

| Ronnie Raygun | I don't see any need to invade Israel. | |

Why don't we just invade the whole Middle East?

Syria has implicated themselves by forming a partnership with Iraq. The rulership there are Baathist. They make hostile acts of war on Israel daily. They are a holding Lebanon hostage. They allowed civillian armies to cross the border and fight for Iraq. They are harboring war criminals. Syria DOES have ties to AlQaeda and every other Middle Eastern terror group. The Tadmor jail in the Palmyran desert is a human rights nightmare. There is already a movement for liberal political reform there that should be supported. I'm not sure anyone could make nearly as convincing of an argument to go into Iran at this time.... |

Right now I wouldn't say that we should go into Syria like we did Iraq......However, if it can be proven that they helped Saddam's regime and are holding his WMD and protecting members of the regime that escaped Iraq then I think we should. I think Iran might fall on it's own. |

So you think we should? Say! Isn't Iran somewhere abouts in that wacky "Middle East" area too? Why don't we just nuke them all and turn it into a giant theme park? |

| Protoclown | But wait a minute, Ronnie. Sure, you say that our troops will be home soon...but Syria is right there and our troops are already over there, you know... | |

Way to get the point of the thread like a good conservative. I'm working on getting Ronnie's style down. |

"The Iraqis ALWAYS had the right to protest Americans under Saddam." AND!!??? Aren't you forgetting something. THEY WERE ALSO PROTESTING SADDAM!!! DID THEY HAVE THAT RIGHT!!??!! Really, can you blame them for protesting...... I can't. I'm glad they have the right and the will to stand of and fight for their way of life. Soon they will have a say in how their govt' is operated. Soon our troops will be home. |

Secret supply, meant for burning at mass rallies. Saddam kept them near his Cubans. Now it's thos portraits of the Bush girls I find a real mystery. |

The praise heaped upon me in this thread calls for the new pickle hat emoticon.

 - Nasty reminder, but so very true. Ever wonder where liberated Iraqis get those U.S. flags they sometimes wave?

I agree, it's ignorance, but I also think it's easy to apply an outraged reaction to articles like these due to the same ignorance. Chalabi's crew pulled down the big Saddam statue, but there were certainly others celebrating, and yanking down posters. Hard to tell if anyone sitting in Iraq can distinguish Chalabi's group from their own. Chances are yes they can. Then again, Iraq is a place where people are used to controlled chaos. This time it's a little less controlled.... but standing in the street firing off a shot gun into the air for no reason, or maybe lots of reasons, is just something that comes natural for a lot of them. To sit here and analyze it before the dust has settled is a little too much like taking the attitude that we've all gone to the Bronx zoo and actually got to see an animal for a change. |

Whp pulled down the statue? Were they "IRAQIS!", or were they Ahmad Chalabi's people? See, I don't think the media is creating these generalizations intentionally, I think they truly are based on ignorance, and in that case might be slightly excusable (least of all devious). |

I'm glad we brought the Sunni's and Shiites together as one voice in harmony and all that .... but it would be nice if articles such as this one could diferentiate between the two for the few of us who still care. If it was a Sunni cleric, or Sunni led dissent ... then that's really not much of a news story at all. |

I think Vince's point was interchangable. Take out the anti-U.S. sentiment, throw in anti-Ba'athist sentiment, and would this have happened even two weeks ago in Iraq??? It's just a bit ironic. The protests do however prove a point I've been trying to make, and one that folks like Vince have been too thick-headed to understand. The Iraqi people (SURPRISE SURPRISE!) are complex, diverse, and opinionated. They CAN be happy to see Saddam gone, AND be critical of the measures that have been/will be taken!!! |

Achimp always has a way of briefly stating what it takes my dumb ass a whole paragraph to communicate. If it wasn't for that olympic hockey thing ...
