Yeh i think were both ruthless.

 

Such a pointless war, all the men, women and children who have died in this , not only the soldiers but the hundreds of thousands of civilians. Pointless loss of life.

 

You don't think it could be because they don't want America meddling in their affairs so now they are fighting back at the ones who are trying to take them over and force them to change their lifestyle, culture, and religion?

 

freedoms are one of the biggest casualties of this war.

 

You want people who are ruthless in peacetime? Try the cartels. They aren't even across the world from us. They operating in our own country. Why don't we go after them?

 

No i know we lock people up in prisons and other things we raid there houses and shoot there dogs/family were both pretty brutal, i was just sharing the statistics and not directly at you i think everyone on this thread should know this

 

I'm on the app ATM. But let me ask you. Where do you see the middle east in 10-20 years. Or say after we "win" the war. All resistance to the US has been squashed. what do those nations look like now?

 

Yes, its true that we can expect deaths in war. But a totally unjust war ? Then no.
It annoys me that so many people listen to anything they hear on tv, countries the US and UK fund and support have so many human rights violations. But we won't touch them.
Why? Because its not in our interest.
I can't say anything better than this man, have a read.


The war against us all
This war in Iraq isn't the end; it's the beginning of Wars to come
all around the world at the whim of the Neo-Cons in the White House
This is the Bush Doctrine come to life; War, war and more war!
War brought to you by the big corporate-masters who run the show
This isn't just a War on Iraqis or Afghanis or Arabs, or even Muslims
It is ultimately a War on us all!
That's because the billions and billions that are being spent on this War
the cost of tanks, rocketry, bullets and yes even salaries
for the 125,000 plus troops, is money that will never be spent on;
education, on healthcare, on the reconstruction of crumbling public housing
or to train and place the millions of workers
who have lost manufacturing jobs in the past three years alone
The War in Iraq is in reality; a war against the nations' workers and the poor
who are getting less and less
while the big Defense industries and making a killing – literally!
What's next Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela?
We've already seen the corporate media
play megaphone to the White House, to build and promote a War based on lies
War is utilized by the imperialists first and foremost, to crush internal enemies
We're seeing the truth of its insight
when we see the sad state of American education
the rush of seniors to buy affordable medications from the Canadians
because American drugs are just too expensive
the threat of privatization of Social Security
and the wave of repression that comes with an increasing Militarized Police;
this is a War on all of us
And the struggle against War is really a struggle for a better life
for the millions of folks who are in need here in this country!
The fight against the War is really to fight for your own interest
not the false interests of the Defense Industry
or the corporate media or the White House
Down with the Wars for empire!

From Death row this is Mumia Abu Jamal...

 

It's not a benefit to get rid of the importers of the most dangerous drugs on the streets, to dismantle the major street gangs like the zetas and others who carry out cartel business on our streets?

I thought we would want to get rid of those who attack America. The Taliban take down two buildings and we send our entire military after them, but these groups continue to kill American citizens and we turn a blind eye to it?

 

Really? How you worded the op really sounded like you supported it. My mistake.

But I do believe refocusing our resources on the cartels will be better for us as a nation.

And how do I view the middle east after all this? It's going to be renamed the Coca-Cola county in McDonaldland

 

It will also have no Oil. it's will mysterously vanish and so will the soldiers
