[Frankly, we should have been preaching the Word from the moment we liberated the place.]
What "word"? The US has no state-sponsored religion.
[We came in the name of love and peace into Iraq...]
That's not what GWB said. The invasion was a part of the so-called "Global War on Terror." Don't you remember the talking points? Kill them over there so they don't kill us over here? Pre-emptive strike? Shock and awe? Civilian casualties? Does any of that sound like "love and peace" to you?
[So why are we surprised that the place is still full of hate and violence?]
Well, it was full of hate and violence before we came, and we removed what little law and order there was, so...
[The root of all the violence over there is their moon religion, Islam.]
Islam is not a moon religion. If you're going to call somebody's beliefs into question, don't you think that you should at least do them the courtesy of learning what they actually believe?
[That's a sure sign that this is a false religion - people fighting and killing over it.]
There are a lot of Muslims living and working in the United States. Yet we don't have the same religious and tribal conflicts that occur in the middle east. Perhaps the situation is more complicated than "Islam is baaaaad!"
[We could have spread the word of Jesus and salvation and be halfway to getting that violence under control by now.]
BULLSHIT. If we'd gone in there with a religious agenda, half of the fucking planet would be at our throats.
[Unlike the filthy muslims, we don't have to convert people at the point of a gun.]
History disagrees with you. Take a few minutes and look up the Inquisition, the Crusades, the Thirty Years' war, etc.
"filthy muslims?" You're a fucking ignorant bigot, do you know that?
[I bet that coin already has that town talking and maybe even looking up stuff about Jesus.]
And yet they are COMPLAINING about the coins. What does THAT tell you, jackass?
[If only that brave Marine could have gotten back out there, he could have sealed the deal. Of course, our politically correct politicians would have fainted.]]
If he had gone back out, he would have violated orders and national policy, gotten himself possibly other servicemen killed, and incited more violence in an already-dangerous region.
Yes, I'm sure those nasty "politically correct politicians" would have been very upset by that turn of events. As would many, many other people, including myself, and the families and loved ones of those who would have died.
Jackass.
