From what i heard from my friends who served in the US Military who came back from Iraq, the general Iraqi population welcomes the change in government. They are friendly towards the US soldiers. They realize that the US soldiers being there does more good than harm now.
Of course they want the time to come when the soldiers arn't needed...but until then, they are glad for the protection the military provides.

Oh yeah? Your friends must not have been serving where my friends were
I believe in non-violence. That said, if the United States were taken over by a foreign power, I would hope that we would have the courage and guts to fight it out like the resistance in Iraq is doing.
But the United States would not exist... because we/it (the United States) illegally occupied Indian land and repressed them. Would you like me to contact the Pawnee, Sioux, Comanche and all the other Indian Nations to continue the fight they stopped a century ago? If not, why not? I'm sure the young braves of today would just LOVE to learn to scalp just like their great grandfathers did before them.
"USA out of everywhere!" That's what the anti-war/peace activists say. Well... practice what you preach and DO IT! You are occupying sovereign Indian land. Get Out! **dawns feather covered headress**
"Resistance in Iraq"? Who are they? Do you know for a fact who they are (just like you claim you know for a fact Bush is lining his pockets from this). Provide your evidence of these "freedom fighters".
Do you know of Human Rights? Do you believe in upholding them? When someone is harming another, do you stop them? Do borders prevent help from being allowed to gain access to the needy? Or do you just sit back and watch?
Sure the USA has killed civilians in Iraq through accidental confrontation/collaterial damage. Every war it happens. But if THAT was the reason (innocent civilians accidentally being killed by Coallition military) these foreign "freedom/resistance fighters" are entering Iraq, why did they not enter the country and target Saddam & The Gang for purposefully killing innocent civilians? Coalition accidentally kills small number of civilians - BAD... Saddam a fellow Muslim, purposefully kills many civilians - GOOD! This is not resistance. It's fanatics wanting their 72 virgins.
I would hope that we would have the courage and guts to fight it out like the resistance in Iraq is doing. I don't think they are heroes, but they are doing what you are SUPPOSED to do when your country is attacked and occupied and under repression.
And the colonial army burned, dismembered and mutilated foreign civilians instead of their enemy. And the colonial army beheaded foreign civilans instead of their enemy. And the colonial army mass-murdered civilians in another country friendly to the enemy in order to trick/get the enemy to leave. And the colonial army used local and foreign civilians as shields against their will. And the colonial army took local and foreign civilians hostage and started making demands and threatened to kill them, if their enemy did not leave. And the colonial army strapped their's and others pregnant women with explosives and had them run up to the enemy. And the colonial army threatened and killed civilians who didn't support the resistance. And the colonial army used Ben Franklin while in France, to sail a boat full of explosives to England and ignite said explosives once it was placed next to a boat ferrying British school children to another port in England.
{sarcasm}What an excellent book of acceptable warfare you just wrote!{/sarcasm}
Yeah... "you don't think" is an understatement.
I will ask again, what about Bosnia and Kosovo? What about what France is doing in the Congo?
I wonder if MM will follow up with a movie on the link between the abortion industry and the democrats. 40 million dead so far . . . .
double post. sorry. and now for something completely different:

Sometimes karma stings a little, man.

I hear ya. Now pass me that doobie. Puff puff give.
I can't wait to see this movie, but will probably have to wait a week or so now.
I was lied to for 45 years of my life, and I want to see what else I've been lied to about, if anything.
I have nothing to fear.
LOL Gita
and Yeah Mulan see for yourself, and tell us what you think then.
Xandria, my uncle was a WWII veteran and my father is a veteran of both Korea and Vietnam, my brother-in-law also a Vietnam vet. My father has long been disgusted by the military. I think that's one of the reasons he was drawn to the witnesses. There are many heros who died to defend our freedom. There are many young men who fought and died so I wouldnt have to. That is made clear in Moore's movie. But I agree with you, our Freedom is absolutely NOT at stake with this war and THAT is what is also made clear. I just kept thinking to myself "Shame on Them".
I could not agree more with you. I saw the difference between the soliders when they first started and then as the war progressed how the whole attitude changed. They began questioning why they were even there.
How much more were we lied to? I mean I am used to lies with politicians, have been dealing with it for over a year in a half. An it took pitching a hissy fit just to get them to move the tracks a few feet over. We won out of sheer determination and being in thier face every other week. The media was a big help.
They did it in hopes of shutting us the hell up! But we are the types that if you make a promise you damned well better keep it or tell us honestly why you did not. Thus far there has been 20 lies and counting, from our "local" government.
So, if it is here with the little people, you know it is up that hill. Sh*t rolls down hill... some times you have to put your bandana over your nose and wade in. It is the only way to clean the stalls. I sometimes think that the logos of the parties should not be a donkey or a elephant.. it should be just one big horse's butt!
X.
