No, no they weren't, not by a long shot. Those Sunnis and Shia killing each other all over the place were of no threat to us. But Al Qaeda was and unfortunately is. They're Arabs too. I'd rather distract Al Qaeda by having other Arabs to kill than let them kill us here. I'd rather have their schools blowing up than our schools blowing up. Its a very simple concept. If I have to choose between my guts all over a side walk and their guts all over a sidewalk, I'm gonna choose their guts without a second thought. If you would choose your own guts, then by all means feel free to walk down a Baghdad street with a big Israeli flag taped to your chest.m3thod wrote:
First and foremost THESE people were on no threat to you. The freedom fighters are doing the exploding because your own inept leaders provided the necessary environment for the many freedom fighters the ability to carry out their many successful and unrestricted attacks.iamangry wrote:
First, off topic... I'd prefer to have their people dying with them when they blow themselves up then have MY people dying when they blow themselves up. I have no problem with making it so that Arab children are dying instead of my children when its a bunch of Arabs who are doing the exploding.m3thod wrote:

Secondly you just confirmed that your belief anyone that isn't American is Untermensch. GG.
Secondly, is it really Bush's fault that Mohammed straps a bomb to his chest and blows his neighbors house up because he doesn't believe in Islam the way Mohammed does? It would seem to me that that would be a much larger problem with their culture that would have surfaced at some point. If there exists an environment when a people would turn on itself, that's not the environment's fault, but the people's fault. You're one of those people that gets mad when scissors don't come with warnings saying "Not for use on penis" aren't you?
Thirdly, I don't believe non-Americans are Untermensch. To be honest, Americans can be REALLY STUPID. In fact, I'd say most people in general are straight up mentally retarded. What I did just do is confirm my selfishness... for my life and the lives of those that matter to me.
