[In repsonse to an article titled: 'Lawmaker: Marines killed Iraqis ‘in cold blood’']
Its all good, they probably would have starved or became terrorists anyway.
Helps the economy and eliminates possible enemy's.

There are no words to convey the sadness and anger I felt when I read this post. What's the point in shouting something offensive or witty at people like this? I just hope bad stuff happens to him, that's the best I can come up with, I'm just so depressed after reading that.
from the thread
"A Pentagon probe into the death of Iraqi civilians last November in the Iraqi city of Haditha will show that U.S. Marines "killed innocent civilians in cold blood," a U.S. lawmaker said Wednesday.
From the beginning, Iraqis in the town of Haditha said U.S. Marines deliberately killed 15 unarmed Iraqi civilians, including seven women and three children."

There are words to convey what I felt, but they're John Ciardi's words , not mine:
"What! Are you dead already?" I said to him.
And he then: "How my body stands in the world
I do not know. So privileged is this rim
of Ptolomea, that often souls fall to it
before dark Atropos has cut their thread.
And that you may more willingly free my spirit
of this glaze of frozen tears that shrouds my face,
I will tell you this: when a soul betrays as I did,
it falls from flesh, and a demon takes its place..."
Ok. If you consider the number of people in iraq that havn't starved then starvation is a fairly unlikely possibility. I think with the terorism mr. knight may have a point, the fact is, now that sadam's gone the iraquis want their country back (i don't believe the allied forces should leave yet the country's not stable). However, if a member of your family was killed in cold blood you may feel some incling towards vengance, if you consider that there are approximately two angry men per dead civillian thats a potential 30 terrorists/gurilla soldiers that have just been created. So no, not good for the economy and unless they were already terrorists it only creates more enemies.
For those of you who think that this jerk represents America, please know that there are MANY of us who are sickened by this attitude, including me.
Our soldiers deserve to be held accountable for war crimes, no less so than those of any other army. It's the only way to be honest with the world and with ourselves.

Newsflash, Sir Asshole , when you are fighting an invader you are a resistance fighter, not an insurgent or a terrorist. In fact, seeing as the US Forces are in Iraq under false pretenses (WMDs anyone?) they're the terrorists. Any and all actions they take is tainted by that fact, regardless of what former CIA asset Saddam Hussein might have done.
If killing innocents was unacceptable with My Lai, it's unacceptable now.

It says in the upper right of the post that he's from Sydney, Australia.
When I read this post the first thing that came into my head was Scrooge from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol , the part where the two gentleman pay a call to Scrooge to see if he will contribute to a fund for the poor at Christmas and Scrooge asks if there are no workhouses, no prisons for the poor to take refuge;
Many can't go there; and many would rather die.'
If they would rather die,' said Scrooge, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.
This is the fundie attitude toward ANYONE who does not buy into their version of how things ought to be.
Oolon Coluphid, thanks for that, but I'm sure he comes across as representing an American attitude anyway, considering everything, so I still want people to know that many of us are deeply disturbed by what our administration has done.

Godammit, Little Johnny Howard's opened up a portal of evil, sucking the stupid across the Pacific. Between him and cunts like Alan Jones whipping up insanity, it's almost time to move in with TDR.
Yes, I'm sure they soliders had the best intentions when they shot those people, children especially.
All the while, honest johnny has a party in america.

I think I just found why the rest of the world hates us.
Yes, that's why we do (nothing personal though).

Has EVERYONE in your home town got the same second name? Only sibling-loving could result in these levels of stupidity......if the siblings were chimps....which btw we haven't evolved from cos, and I quote, we "don't speak monkey".
hmmm, just in the same way that i (being a scotsman) walk around in a kilt and curse the english all day?and the way every irishman drinks extreme amounts. In the same way that fundies are repressed, inbreds and ignorant of common fact. If i kicked you int he nuts you should say "thank you sir".
"Take this handgrenade, this jar of Vaseline, and follow the instructions on this paper. Don't worry, I used pictures."
Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows, only that it does!
Blood for the Blood God!
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
