I'm not being sarcastic unfortunately... which is why I said I feel a bit guilty about being not-so-secretly pleased that a female soldier was torturing male ones. I never said it was RIGHT, I just said it was satisfying.
Call me sick, call me twisted.. but some part of me really likes the female soldier who tortured the iraqi prisoners. In some odd way it feels like payback for the thousands of years women were shat upon and never got to do any shitting of their own. You know what, Pfc. Lynndie R. England? You have become my feminist hero, and I am not even goddamn feminist. I love you for dragging male combatants around on a leash and piling them up into humiliating poses. If no one else will be your friend or give you any respect, I sure as hell will. You are taking back a little of the power men have leached from women since the dawn of existence and proving that yes, women can be brutal too. I'll write you in jail, good luck.

Dude, u need to learn history FAST! we had no country, almost ever, yup, no where to go, just imagine, like Gypsies
it is NOT just a religion, it is an ethnic group which the rest of the world has shown to be completely incapable of assimiliating for long periods of time. so far the US has done the best job, however it is vital to the survival of the jewish people that they have their own state and avoid another diaspora. come on, it is one of the oldest, most influential, and most persecuted cultures on earth, i think they need their own state.

Yes, I agree completely. In a situation as volatile as this one the media really, REALLY should never be involved first due to their propensity to exploit tragedies and scandals to gain ratings and second because of the reaction we are seeing this cause in the arab world. Of course we are never going to have a great reputation in the arab world, however we need to do the best to keep it as spotless as we can, even if that means witholding information from the public.
no, no. we should NOT abuse the iraqi prisoners. it is against military law (as stated by the geneva conventions by which our military abides) to abuse or torture our prisoners of war. however, i still believe that the soldiers in question should have been quickly and secretly disciplined by the military instead of having it be this huge international scandal where everyone human being with access to a tv or radio can know about it and therefore hate the us even more.

Vietnam and OIF, the two recent wars where one had a draft, and the second there is concideration for one, both did not defend the freedom of our country. Neither country was even a threat to the US. So why not dodge that draft.
It's sentence. And you are not necessarily protecting just the borders of the country or something so concrete as that, you are fighting in the country's percieved interest. I was not for vietnam nor iraq, but I would have still fought in both because a. i dont want anyone to go instead of me and b. being a citizen is like another sort of job, or a symbiotic relationship of sorts. it's about give and take. you can't just be a citizen and never be expected to have to sacrifice something, even if you don't necessarily agree with it. you have every right to dissent and to disagree and speak out against the war and by all means, do, that is one of your rights. however that is the "give" part of the relationship, your country has to take from you at times too.
regardless of whether it's a war or a conflict, there are certain things that just shouldn't be let out because they are going to make the situation worse. would you rather we have some select information withheld from us for the time being or we know everything and cause many more problems than are necessary?
Draft dodging certainly isn't treason, but I do see it as morally reprehensible. First of all, you are sending someone else to fight in your place, because the country is going to get someone to fight whether you skip out or not. Second, you owe your country your liveliehood, your ability to live in an orderly society and thrive as a human being within it. I think that, even if the war is not right in your interests, you have an obligation to the your country to help defend the security you enjoy.

There is no room for this kind of treason when we're at war. Freedom isn't free.
on the contrary.. i see myself as a very patriotic american, part of this patriotism is the right to DISSENT which is enshrined in our constitution. come on now, i know very well freedom isn't free, but wasting taxpayer's money on questioning some kid for their drawings is absolutely ludicrous and makes us look like idiots.
This isn't going to be a rant against the military police who performed the abuse on the Iraqi prisoners.. Yes, what they did was wrong, however, I am more angry at whoever leaked this information to the media and for the media for exploiting this story. HELLO PEOPLE, there is a WAR on here we are trying to win, and there are certain things that need to be kept within the military during a war. Really, more harm than good was done by exposing this incident to the public. The 6 or 7 soldiers who performed the abuse should be reprimanded but really, there is absolutely no need for anyone else to know until the war is long, long over. We are trying to get the arab world to stop hating us so we can clean up the mess we got ourselves into. We cannot do that if we allow our media to expose our military's flaws on international telivision 24 hours a day. Christ almighty, does no one know how to run a regime anymore??

i seriously doubt that. i dont see how the israelis are "assholes", really i think they are perfectly justified in acting in self defense.
im convinced the only way to true peace in the world would be to kill and or brainwash this entire present generation of militant islamic people who are bent on terrorism. but of course thats not ethically possible.
anyway though, i really see absolutely no reason why the palestinians should have any more of israel than the disputed west bank territory which is being gradually returned to them as we speak (read today's new york times, kids) if anyone has a historical claim to it, it is really the jews. if anyone has a strategic claim to it, its the united states. it sounds harsh, but its true. i really dont feel comfortable with a middle east without US intervention.

And Russia wont stay weak. They have a way to extract Serbian oil and when its out. Russia will be the 5th largest oil distributors in the world and they used to be a superpower what will happen again?
china doesn't hate us. the us and chinese governments both know they are an extremely important defensive and economic allies... china suffers from many of the same problems with instability internally (uigher muslim seperatists in western china, among others) as we do internationally. not to mention north korea.
russia's oil reserves are run by a few oligarchs, the rest of the country is still pretty much in economic ruin. unless there is some major overhaul there (and i do have some faith in putin), they will never be able to compete.

He was a RETIRED terrorist and near to dying anyway(old).
Or at least if they were gonna kill him why not do it with a sniper when he left his home not with bombs after church where loads could see.
You talk about bombs on trains but what about all the years of America looking down there nose at other countries.
Im from Britain and i cant wait till you getted knocked off your superpower pedestal by China or Russia.
he wasn't a retired terrorist, he still held very much influence over the radical palestinian community... the US will never be completely knocked off its pedestal because we are too economically intertwined with china for them to benefit from our downfall. russia is too weak and will continue to be too weak to harm us for a long time. we have to worry about terrorism a lot more than those two countries.
besides, i care more about the stability of the international order than who is actually leading it. if it is china, then so be it. i would be relatively satisfied.

What's the goverment waiting for tell them to go back to home?
What's the future for them? Nothing... almost all them would die if they stay there more time...
No, we can't just bring them home. That would leave a failed state in the middle east just ripe for another dictator (most likely religious this time, and MUCH worse than saddam ever was) to come to power and make another terrorist nation commited to the destruction of western culture. Just what we need. I really think we would have been better off just leaving saddam there. He was a power easily checked in that reason who did not as far as we know harbor any terrorist nor WMD's in his nation. Now, since we made the horrendous foreign policy blunder to get into the war with iraq, we have gotten ourselves completely fucked. It's really a lose lose situation now.

Israel DROPPED BOMBS ON A RELIGIOUS LEADER WHILE LEAVING HIS PLACE OF WORSHIP....thats no assassination thats a massacure!:
I am so glad they killed that guy... even though it is likely to cause more terrorism in the short view of things, it was only a matter of time before SOMETHING made the palestinians all disgruntled again. That is another great thing about Israel.. they can do the US' dirty work for them in the middle east. Genius.
If there wasn't religion, there would be something else to kill one another over. Such as oh.. ethnicity, nationality, money, etc etc.
Religion however has caused the most psychotic violence thus far. Religiously fanatic terrorists are more devoid of reason and human decency than any "freedom fighters" (or other bullshit like that) before them.

thank you.. finally someone with a shred of common sense that isn't overly tainted with misguided humanitarian feelings.
the most ironic thing about the situation is that the palestinians were kicked out of every arab country, yet when they started having trouble with israel (wasn't that always??) the rest of the arab world came to their aid. that's fucked.
I'm domestically libertarian.. yet as for my foreign policy.. I'm a true, dyed-in-the-wool imperialist conservative.
It's the only way to be, ya'll. After hundreds upon hundreds of pages of political science readings, it's what I've come up with. Foreign policy liberals really have no idea what they are talking about, there is no, absolutely NO way our nation could survive the international order if we started conducting ourselves like that.
Hmm.. stop supporting Israel? I don't think that would be a wise foreign policy decision. Israel is the united states' most valuable ally in the middle east. It is the ONLY middle eastern country we can count on to not harbor nor breed terrorism AND the only country in that region we know will always do what the US government tells it to.
If we lose Israel, we lose the entire middle east. Not a great idea.

I know Iraq was in our best national interests, but it was economic interests and i find that pretty bad. I dont want to send people to a potential death so the dollar does a bit better compared to the euro and some of the economic elites recieve business contracts. The use of our military over the past 40 years has been little short of disturbing. Let the sons and daughters of america defend lives not economies. (that sounds rather preachy)
iraq wasnt in our best national interests... in fact it was a massive waste of money that will further ruin our economy and bring more terrorism, etc... i doubt any iraqi government from now on will ever cooperate with the us on oil rights.. it kills me to see our soldiers die for something that will do nothing but bring more harm. i believe very strongly in going to war for national interests, but this is absolutely unnaceptable. i feel this will bring only further violence in the region in which our soldiers will have to take part. plus, the grunts really REALLY do not get paid nearly enough for what they do, then they come home completely fucked up and their veterans benefits are getting cut and they are unable to make a decent living afterwards. my boyfriend is in the army, thank g-d he isnt in iraq at the moment, but i know as soon as he gets out of school they are going to send him somewhere that is going to happen as a result of the iraq war, he wont get paid enough for it, who knows if he will make it out alive, etc etc. what good is a military if you cant use it wisely?
