Carpet Bombing, since when? Perhaps you would like to know that most civilian casualties are from the miliants, they do not care where their mortar rounds land and where their bullets go. But no the big bad USA is the evil thing here :bash:

Your grasp on the english language is not strong enough for me to debate this with you -or so it would appear.I assume you meen bombing with B-52s and they have not been used to put down the insurrection- however they were used with great effect against the Iraqi Army.

This is an Oxford Research International Poll

Oxford is being anti-american too? Kiddo...

This thread should be moved to the "who cares section!" There is a different poll on this crap every other day. It all depends on who is conducting the poll and where it was taken!...... :roll:

What carpet bombing?

[usa320]

Actually, no one got carpet bombed...

Carpet bombing refers to B-52's unloading large quantities of unguided munitions in a row... This requires a handful of planes and hundreds of bombs to be effective.

Instead B-52's dropped JDAM's in high numbers... with extreme precision.

They could drop 16 JDAMs over the course of a few minutes and hit 16 different targets.

What's the point of this post? Does anybody really think that the Iraqis would be best served by having all coalition forces pulled out? Regardless of the majority opinion of the populace, to do so would be reckless and most likely leaving Iraq to totalitarian rule once again.

Can you back that up with facts or did you just suck that out of your thumb?

90% of statistics are wrong. Just take it with a grain of salt.

Apparently you don't pay attention to the news much. Has the US killed innocent civilians, the answer is yes. Has the US deliberately attacked innocent civilians, their primary concern being to kill civilians? The answer is no. The Insurgents, however, make it a point to attack innocent civilians. Last news reports I see it's the insurgents sending car bombs into civilians. The last news reports I saw it was the insurgents killing politicians.

think there is people on this forum with multiple accounts under different names to sway there opioion across the board

haha, thats probably true.

Theres all these people talking about how mean the "big bad US" is but none of them who seem to pride themselves in "human rights" give a damn about the hundreds of thousands of people killed by Saddam Hussein or the 30,000 to 40,000 people killed in 1982 in Hama, Syria by the government or the 1,400,000 people killed Afghanistan through civil war or how the Egyptians dealt with terrorism from the Moslem Brotherhood by having six of their leaders hung in public displays along with placing 5,000 of its supporters in inhumane camps.

And if there were poles taken when Saddam was in, they would have look like this:


What do you think of Saddam?:
I love him
I like him (We chop your hands off)
I dislike him (We torture you for 3 months)
I hate him (We kill you and your family)

What's the point of this post? Does anybody really think that the Iraqis would be best served by having all coalition forces pulled out? Many Iraqis are probably of this opinion and I think that's the point really. When a decent sized segment of the populace no longer wants an occupying power present violence begins. Aside from the level of violence that that entails, it should be a fact that is superceded by the security concerns of defence planners. That is, the obvious security vaccum that would form should take precedent over public opinion. What's more, our presence there is playing no small part in actually guiding or steering the country to democracy. In the absence of that presence I'd be looking to Iran to get a glimpse of Iraq's next style of governance. In short, don't look to the mob to understand what is in their best interest - 'for they know not what they do'.

That poll is important because it helps us understand what we have to contend with and how we can improve both our situation and the lot of the Iraqi people. Despite common misgivings, that region is a great one to live in(when its peaceful) and the people are great to be friends with.

There are parralels between this type behaviour and the citizenry of nazi Germany - not that arabs are nazis. But a rabid propaganda machine coupled with little to no free media breeds people of certain opinions and mental complancency. It is simply human nature to be politically maleable (this is the premise of Fox News :D ;) ). People (all people), more often than not, are compliant and willing sheep.
