Newster1 - Terrorists don''t hate me. They hate you. I''d like to send you to Iraq for some one on one with the Iraqi kids you want to murder.

[nothappyatall]

Who gives a krap?? we dont have enough of our OWN people who need help??? Those kids over there are tomorrow''s suicide bombers and terrorists, may as well kill em young when we can pick em off easy. AFter what we did to them over there, EVERY ONE of them will be tomorrow''s problem in their quest for revenge. Every person held in Guantanimo for years w/o a charge, trial or lawyer is now a sworn ENEMY of the US along with all of their families who by now HATE our guts as a result.
EVeryone of those kids whose family members were killed by *US* is now our worst enemy.

"Boy, the fact that the surge has been so successful in Iraq and that America is winning the war on Islamic jihad in the Middle East"

LOL you think so eh? this problem is not going away even if you think it has or will, Bush''s tirade has made another attack for REVENGE more likely, Americans are now TARGETS abroad too.

"How incredibly pathetic CBS. Why don''''t you ever report anything about the hundreds of wonderful things our troops have done for these innocent Iraqi children and their families over there??"

Wonderful things? like blasting them with bombs and bullets, killing their families? using depleted uranium, destroying their lives and everything else with an illegal occupation, oh yeah we did SOOOOOO much for the chilrun over there!

[jedwards808]

Nowhere in the article does it say that these children are the U.S.''s problem or responsibility. The article just points out one of the plethora of problems Iraqi families are facing as a result of the war. I feel bad for these families and do believe, however, that since our "plan" is to help them rebuild the country, families will have to be one of our first priorities.

Also, if you''re going to post in these boards, please make your comments relevant. Posting a series of quotes that nobody will read in three consecutive posts just makes you look like a crazy person.

Are you saying all Iraqis are suicide bombers and terrorists?

What an idiot you are! And a low-life for saying "who gives a ***!"

Children should be cared for all over the world. And America has shown more care and love for children all over the globe than any other country that''s ever existed.

Your just pure evil dude...that''s all there is to it.

I agree, who cares? Because the rich US is there we shouyld cure all problems and illnesses? Under Saddam autistic kids would probably be executed or put in a home to rot. All these western do gooders have thier own agenda and expect us all to sign off on it. What about kids here?

[beboldin09]

Boy, the fact that the surge has been so successful in Iraq and that America is winning the war on Islamic jihad in the Middle East must really be driving these liberal media outlets bezerk. Digging for a story from Iraq about autism is a prime example of this.

How incredibly pathetic CBS. Why don''t you ever report anything about the hundreds of wonderful things our troops have done for these innocent Iraqi children and their families over there??

Wait a minute...I forgot...it''s because you''re a bunch of defeatest agenda libs.

Again, PATHETIC.

Older fathers lead to autism in many non-familial cases. DU and other toxins of war might also be responsible. Autism can be prevented in some cases if men fathered babies in their 20s to very early 30s and at this point had no other children. http://www.schizophreniaforum.org/for/curr/Malaspina/default.asp

I can''t see how autistic children in Iraq are the US taxpayers'' responsibility. We hardly take care of our own autistic children here in the US.

The article stated:
"Incredibly, the only doctor who did treat it, who founded a medical center in the name of his own autistic son, has fled the country."

Yes, and I am pretty sure you got political asylum in the USA. Now he''s a rich doctor with 7 tax free years to look forward to while his own people suffer.

Well, with a 97 billion dollar surplus, it seems the problem should be easy to address.

Good Point!

edadvocate lamented:
"I''''m sorry but autism services are not abundant in the US. Missouri has a 3 year wait list for autism services with our local Regional Center. My son has autism and the only services he receives are the ones that I can afford to pay for."

You will get no sympathy/help from the current administration.

The prisons are full of people with mental issues that were never addressed.

Maybe someday we will have genetic counseling that will predict this so that we can know when not to breed.

I''m sorry but autism services are not abundant in the US. Missouri has a 3 year wait list for autism services with our local Regional Center. My son has autism and the only services he receives are the ones that I can afford to pay for. The public school and the government does nothing for him, whatsoever. We have a family of five and my husband works 3 jobs. I can''t work because my son requires constant care.

Let''s fix our problems here before we got looking to help another country. My ancestors serve in the Revolutionary War but I bet illegal immigrants get services before my son does.
