JohnRich 4 #6 November 18, 2005 Quote from the news story: "He underlined that Al Qaeda in Iraq is not targeting fellow Muslims." Yeah, so I guess the 75 people they murdered in two mosques today with suicide bombs were a mistake also. The bombers must have mistaken the locations for McDonalds. What's it going to take to get these Iraqiis so pissed-off at these bombers that they take matters into their own hands? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I were you I would not wish for more hatred. It won't be just Al Qaeda operatives that pay the price for fueling such hate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe there is a stark difference in motives between having that happen accidentally, and from doing it with intentional premeditation.

skydyvr 0 #16 November 19, 2005 QuoteTry explaining that to the mother of a dead child. That line has been used before on these forums, and it remains a lump of lame shit. It fails to address the point, which is the FACT that terrorists specifically target and kill civilians (including kids), and our military doesn't.

Lefty 0 #17 November 19, 2005 QuoteJust what are you talking about again? I lost your point somewhere between Boy and military... Ok, I guess not everyone is cut out for subtleties without a million emoticons plastered all over a post. A mother who just lost her child would obviously not be in a rational state of mind and would be ruled by her emotions. Therefore, she would not be receptive to the differences that JohnRich pointed out. You, Sudsy, seem to be equally resistant to recognizing the difference between the two situations, prefering instead to focus on the emotional aspect of a dead child rather than the more mental task of realizing there is a difference in the motives. Pretty lame, I'd say. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest #18 November 19, 2005 Quotehttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,176037,00.html This is nothing new. It's been happening for a long time, but it's unusual for anyone outside the Middle East in general and Iraq in particular to notice. This got attention because it's the most heinous they've been up until now, so much so that the Zowie has to make a statement like this to defend it. But how does one defend or justify such cowardice and brutality? Even when they do things like this, the "Arab Street" tries to "Blame Israel", as if killing dozens of people is somehow made okay. This is typical Arab nuttiness. It's always somebody else's (read: US or Israel) fault, but this time, people realize who is really to blame, and this time, they're not ashamed or afraid to admit it. Please see "Why Al Qaeda Has Lost Its War in Iraq" on Jim Dunnigan's Strategy Page, and take note of the date that story was published: 25 Sept 2004. mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

There is nothing accidental about our invasion of Iraq and thus the consequences. Shock and Awe is what they called it and it was certainly shocking. If one carries out a massive bombardment of downtown, metroplotian area it MUST come as no surprise that innocent peoples are going to get killed.

Carpet bombing is reserved for areas known not to contain civilians.
