i happen not to have Iraqi TV, and if they saw anyone videotaping them they would KILL them.

Maybe you should watch it before you go on ranting and raving about which you know nothing about.

How can I counter "Your gullible". Trying to counter an insult is useless.

No... Some people watch the news and read the newspaper.

No, he just has knowledge of this thread

Pay attention to some of the other threads, benis, and you might manage to not make yourself look like a fool

So many stupid comments, so little time.

There is a huge difference between U.S. press and Arab press. The U.S. allows for ANY opinion to be broadcasted

It "allows" but does not.

however, especially in war time, the opinion of the majority of the people is so one sided

This is clearly bullshit. People don't make up their minds then choose their paper or channel. They watch their channels or read their newspapers which give them a view(note: independent thought is possible.)

Cut to Israeli holding a rifle, cut to brutally mangled Palestinian, back to Israeli tank, destroyed Palestinian home,Israeli aggressor, Palestinian victim. This went on like this over and over again never once showing the effects of a suicide bombing or a Palestinian protest showing masked men with mock explosive strapped to themselves.

This is actually closer to the truth than the Western reporting of the conflict. Everytime there is a suicide bombing, Israel attacks (note it can also be the other way round) everytime like 1 Israeli dies, 5 Palestinians die.

It's just peole who choose not to adknowledge it that's making it hard for me to get my opinions across.

Articulation has nothing to do with objectivity.

P.S. If you can't trust the media than who can you trust unless you see it for yourself? Your gut instinct doesn't make for a good argument.

I trust articles which don't follow the paper's line.

there also lots of things you wont see on cnn .

for example?

For counter-examples to the two American soldiers helping out Iraqi children, you need look no further than my own friends that have joined the military:

1. He wants to get as many kills under his belt as possible. He joined the Army for two reasons 1) he didn't get good enough grades to go to College, and 2) he loves to kill things. In fact, on assignment to Kenya for a week, he begged his Staff Sergeant the entire time to give him permission to kill just one Kenyan, but the Staff Sergeant wouldn't permit him to do so. Now that he has a chance to shoot in a war, you can be damn sure he's going to use that opportunity to hit any "ragheads" you can find. He was ecstatic about getting to go the last time he came back here on leave. I doubt he'd shoot women and children, at least if they weren't shooting back, but civilians would probably be fair game to him. He probably will never leave the military now, assuming he comes back from the war. He loves it too much.

2. Joined the Army so he could have money for College. Doesn't really give a damn about anyone else other than himself. Is really looking forward to going to the war because of hazard pay, and because he's tired of just sitting around doing odd jobs around the barracks instead of what he's trained to do. I highly doubt he would go out of his way to help any Iraqi citizen, because he'd like the opportunity to go back home spend the hazard pay he has attained. (Note: If I had joined the military, I'd more than likely fall into this group too.)

3. Joined the Marines because he wants to "kick as much ass as he can in whatever he does", i.e. to be the better than anyone else doing the same thing. This means getting the highest marks in class, going to law school, joining the Marines and not the "pussy" Army, and getting more proven kills than any of his peers. He's actually crazy enough he might charge in while under fire to go rescue an Iraqi kid just to prove how "hardcore" he was, actually. In fact, his hero is a man who, in Vietnam, charged a tank in order to drop a grenade into it (or something like that, I can't really remember), all while under heavy fire. He succeeded, and his company secured the area, but when they got to him they saw that he had about 100 bullets shot into him on his way, and I think even a spinal injury that should have paralyzed him but through some "miracle" allowed him to make it to the tank anyway.

Now, am I trying to generalize and say that everyone in the military has the same personality as one of my friends above? HELL NO. But I can guarantee you that many of them joined not out of a selfish and not a humanitarian purpose. If someone was really humanitarian they would have probably went into the field of social work or medicine, and not an organization where you are trained to be an expert at killing other people. I would personally expect these saved Iraqi children to be the exception in this war, and NOT the rule. Although I'm equally certain that the converse is not therefore true, that they are instead out there trying to kill Iraqi children. These people are not here necessarily to help Iraqi's though. They're mainly there for themselves, and/or because a higher ranked officer told them they had to be there.
