These men are not protecting any american's right to free speech.

The american colonists and founding fathers defended my right to speak freely.

Iraq and the phone "war on terrorism" is not about protecting american freedoms. It is about killing former CIA asssets and those who object to american imperialism.

My roommate pointed out yesterday that these were all volunteers, not draftees. Sadly this is true, but it is a Catch-22 situation. They volunteer so they will not be drafted. If there were no volunteers, the draft would be used, and those same soldiers would still end up in Iraq, only then it would be at someone else's choosing

These men fight for BS. As a former US servicemen, I take offense at idea of being a mercenary in an internal civil war.

I don't care if they have families, dreams and other BS. If they violate international law like the Geneva conventions (the law that protects soldiers from unlawful treatment) then they are no longer operating justly.

Choosing sides in a civil war is UNJUST by any measure.

Do not try to link this unjust cause to WWII. The last just cause.

That was the only other time the american way of life was in peril.

Vietnam. BS. Korea. BS. Grenada. BS. Panama (Noriega) BS.

Patriots do not paticipate in the war crimes of others. Current US military participating in Iraq are accomplices to crimes against humanity.

Any time you want to show up in DC, I will show you the MFing way.

Hey Beast,Im a former soldier and I could take you like a cheap whore,and with beer goggles just might.ZXZ the point he was trying to make is that when you question authority in the millitary you loose your advantage.Plus you end up in alot of trouble unless its waranted but that is not happening in Iraq.If these freedom fighters(terrorists)wish to blow up there own people to prove there point then they committ the crime not the U.S.If they hide among the women and children then they are cowards and murderers,not brave or martyrs.Sadam has been a constant thorn in our side and was going to get worse if the French and Russians convinced the UN to lift the sanctions against them.The whole time UN insiders were breaking the rules of the oil for food program.I see nothing lost by taking out Sadams government or for that matter Irans if they get to cocky!These people are not democrats or republicans they are fundamentalist and with them its all or nothing so these future terroists are going to be regardless of what you think as long as it seems to be in the good grace of there fundamentalist religion.Taking away any power they have will make them regroup and rethink thier strategy.However you look at it,its about power.If you have nothing against fundamentalists and persuit of power then you should stop debating with the religious right.One thing our founding fathers had was pride in what they were creating and the belief in the system that they created.This is something you dont have and your angry with anyone who does and disagrees with you.I feel sorry for you Beast,if your not paid to do what you do then the people around you in your life must hate seeing how miserable it is for you to live in the greatest country on earth.Thats if your not taking the same tone with them that you do with the people on this site.

""ours is not to question, ours is only to do" as a soldier, you follow orders, and when your ass is on the fuckin line, then, you better be prepared to defend it or die"

--- Exactly right. Soldiers don't think, they just follow orders. But if the orders are morally wrong, does that mean that the soldiers following them are morally wrong too?

Ok, so I'll give that the soldiers are in a bit of a catch-22 as Duane points out: if you disobey your superiors, you can end up in a personal hell.

However, DC *does* have a point, as does 18340: Iraq never posed a threat to the US.

The lies we were fed about WMD and Iraq's alleged ability to "hit the US in :45min" was a big pile of B.S. fed to the U.S. population (and the military) in order to engage in a war for ulterior motives. The U.S. illegally invaded a nation w/ a paper-thin pretext, and has unleashed a Pandora's Box of hellfire and cultural infighting that will not be settled any time soon. Way to go USA!

Now Duane, your point about "I see nothing lost by taking out Saddam's govt or for that matter Irans if they get cocky"... is a reflection of US ego-centric thinking. Who is the USA to impose or demand anything of any soverign country? No nation is required to act according to the dictates of the USA, any more than the USA is required to act according to the whims and desires of China (e.g.).

Our track record of setting up and supporting dictators in other countries disqualifies the USA from any moral high-ground (Pinochet, Noriega, Saddam, Ayatollah Komeini, any central american military junta, the list goes on).

If you say "might makes right", which is all the USA has to go on at this point, then that also justifies Saddam's regime, as well as China's.

Now, the soldiers are largely innocent pawns in this. The foreign policy decisions of their superiors are not their doing... they are just largely ignorant (and unhappy) grunts doing shit work. I personally don't blame the soldiers, they are doing as they have been trained. May God rest their souls in peace.

But the objectives that they are sent towards are faulty. The occupation of Iraqi lands is a violation of international law. The US is at fault in this particular 'conflict'.

Duane@3154

All of the comments directed at me on this site are because I have the ballz to say the truth.

No WMDs. That means there was no justification for war. The WMD story was a LIE. A known LIE. To trick mom and pop middle america into swallowing the Bush plan for taking down a powerless dictator in Saddam.

Well if someone cries wolf and their cries are based on lies then I am going to do something about it.

1) The person's who cried wolf can only be perceived as a LIAR.
2) When those lies cause people's deaths, they should be removed from any position of power.
3) then they should be prosecuted.

Making excuses for lawbreaking that cost thousands of people their lives is unacceptable.

As a soldier you should feel shame that the armed forces were used to carry out a mission based on a known LIE.

Fun Facts:

A 1,600-inmate faith-based prison opened in Crawfordville, Florida. Police began random bag checks of subway passengers in New York City. *It was revealed that the CIA had set up a secret system of prisons, called "black sites," around the world* ; *it was also revealed that the National Security Agency was spying on Americans without first obtaining warrants.* Journalist Judith Miller was released from jail and said she wanted to hug her dog. U.S. Congressman Tom DeLay was arrested; U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was indicted. The Pentagon admitted to using white phosphorus during the 2004 attack on Fallujah, Iraq, and allocated $127 billion to build a robot army. *The total number of American soldiers killed in the Iraq war rose to 2,174, while the total number of Iraqi civilians killed rose to 27,636. "We are all waiting for death," said an Iraqi soldier, "like the moon waiting for sunset."* *The U.S. Defense Department, in violation of the federal Privacy Act, was building a database of 30 million 16- to 25-year-olds.* The Department of Homeland Security announced that it had wasted a great deal of money and needed much more. Starbucks came to Guantanamo Bay. Scientists began work on a complete, molecule-level computer simulation of the human brain. The project will take at least ten years.

GOODMAN: We're talking to Robert Fisk, correspondent for the Independent newspaper in Britain. He has just come out of Iraq where he has spent the last month. He is back in Beirut where he is based. Robert, the hospitals, you spent a good amount of time there. Can you describe what you saw and perhaps what we're not seeing. If you can follow our coverage at all here in the United States.

FISK: Well as a matter of fact this afternoon, I took several roles of film...real film, not digitized camera film into my film development shop here, and was looking again at the film of children who'd been hit by American cluster bombs in Hilla and Babylon whom I took photographs of. I'm rather shocked at myself for taking pictures of people in such suffering. I would have to say, and one must be fair as a correspondent, that I think that the Iraqis did position military tanks and missiles in civilian areas. They did so deliberately; they did so in order to try and preserve their military apparatus in the hope that the Americans would not bomb civilian areas. The Americans did bomb civilian areas. They may or may not have destroyed the military targets; they certainly destroyed human beings and innocent civilians.

War is a disgusting, cruel, vicious affair. You know, I say to people over and over again: war is not about primarily victory or defeat, it's primarily about human suffering and death. And if you look through the pictures, which I have beside me now as I speak to you, of little girls with huge wounds in the side of their faces made by the pieces of metal from cluster bombs, American cluster bombs, it's degoutant, as the French say, disgusting to even look at. But I have to look at them. I took these pictures.

Cluster bombs, to reiterate a tired point, are illegal under the Geneva Convention, to which the US is a signatory.

Cluster bombs: illegal.
White phosphorous: illegal.
Torture: illegal.
Invasion: illegal.

What else is the US doing that is illegal?

Why did we actually invade Iraq? Please, tell me the truth, and not the "WMD" or "to get rid of a dictator" bullshit.

If the USA was invaded by a more powerful enemy, what would you do to repel the invaders? Hmm?! What would you do. Would you cut the heads off the invading troops? Would you serve them tea? Would you shoot them from sniper positions? Would you wire carbombs? Would be an informer and tell them where the insurgent positions were? Would you hide amidst the local people to disguise yourself? Would you lie to them? Would you knife them in the kidneys? Would you suicide bomb their ships in the harbor? What, exactly, would you be willing to do to repel an invading force??

It's pretty easy to tell in all this verbage who is informed and who is not. After Afganistan was secured, there would have been no invading Iraq if the terrorists had laid low for a while. All the evidence from Clintons administration pointed to problems in Iraq. The invasion was not against Iraq per se but against supporters of Al Queda and the Talaban. I'll bet all you terrorist supporters would like to see Iraq back the way it was with Sadam in charge. Apparently you think he is a nice guy. Ask the thousands of families that were terminated by him and his ilk because they said something much less harmfull than you do in these blogs. You ought be glad some one else is over there doing the dirty work for you so you don't have to face the East 5 times a day and pray in Arabic.
History repeats itself. Let dictators of this ilk survive to opress its people and it will turn to others to opress until they are stopped or they conquer the world. You can't just sit back and see what happens, you have to do something to change the course of events or get become one of the opressors victims. Show me one GOOD dictator. This government will fail also if it keeps listening to liberals and those politians who want to raise their income beyond the capacity of the people to pay. We are getting close. We need to clean house and return to our conservitive roots.

Afghanistan is not secured. That is Manure.

The government was microscopic so overthrowing it was easy. Especially since the rebels were far less armed than those in Iraq.

Saddam should have been removed the legal way. What the US has done is illegal.

Saddam was not a dictator. He had very little little power in his own country which made his more of a figure head. The secret police and higher divisions of of the army did their own thinking and killing. The CIA and DIA know that. Your average american does not know this.

The government in Iraq is going to fail no matter what liberals or politicians say about it.
The country is having a civil war as we speak and the US military is the referee.

When the US leaves the government will be overthrown by pissed off Sunnis because securing Iraq is not what the Shia care to do.
