yet they never would have occurred if we had not invaded. So, yes, you can blame them all on the US.- Reply to this comment
- "If a soldier questions orders in combat he can be executed. This is a catch 22 situation where the soldier is going to feel like he is screwed no matter what he does."

- So we go kill more people (500,000+ civilians) to "fix" Iraq? And if your faux sanctimony is genuine, where is your concern for Rowanda, Darfur, Congo, etc. etc. Why Iraq and not them? Because all this noble talk is B S.

- We learned from it? We''''re still there. How exactly did we learn from it? We didn''''t learn jack - we just changed the reason why we went (from WMD to spreading Democracy). We coopted something noble (Democacy) to justify something criminal (Tyrany). We haven''''t learned a d-amn thing. Tell the Vietnam vets watching this debacle unfold and ask them how much we learned.

- Most of Saddam''''s heavy handed dictatorial moves were AGAINST the fundamentalist religious Islamics. These were what his prisons were filled with for the most part.

- ok on iraq i just want to say that there isnt a smart person here that believes we did the right thing. NOW GET OFF IT!!!!! we have learned and as you can tell we are at least trying to make right what we did wrong. only stupid people point fingers and say you did this 5 years after the fact. we, as americans, learn from our mistakes. now as for russia it looks as though they have to repeat the same mistake several times. hmmmmmmmmmmm doe we see a problem here.

- One of these days americans will finally get this:
To the consternation of Islamic conservatives, Saddam''s government gave women freedoms and offered them high-level government and industry jobs. Saddam also created a Western-style legal system, making Iraq the only country in the Persian Gulf region not ruled according to traditional Islamic law (Sharia). Saddam abolished the Sharia law courts.

You expect these ideologue warmonger to comprehend such distinctions? These people believe the spoon-fed propaganda lies that Iraq was responsible for 9/11. The irony that we put the Shia (fundementalist freinds of Iran) in charge of Iraq at the cost of 500 billion and 4000+ American soldiers is either lost on their puny brains, or a reality that is simply to absurd and painful to admit. - Reply to this comment

Revolutionized the world? How''''s that? Is their an Islamic society today that doesn''''t repress their women, butcher their citizens, or threaten their neighbors? Is their an Islamic society today that contributes anything of significance in science or commerce to the world? Is there one that donates to the less fortunate of the world? No. You call this Revolutionizing the world. I''''d say Islam is terrorizing the world.

Oh you blady *** go do your owen research and study your owen history .....That your sub human european fore fathers who were dying in the dark ages of ignorance and diseases and plage''s ,it was islam who got you out of the dark ages and look where you are now with your candy a-s-s back in the darkness asan idividual....spend some money and by the book Islam religion of faith"and you will get answer to your dumb question ....dumber as the come .... - Reply to this comment
- whatwhy001, Yes, my friend the message of Islam, preached by Muhammad (pbuh), did revolutionize the world. It was Islamic thinkers that contributed to astronomy, mathematics (algebra), science, medicine (ibn sina) and so many others that I cannot even name them all. It was because of Islamic thinkers translating the vast treasure trove of western knowledge into Arabic and as such preserving it for future generations. And, my friend, while Europe was still trying to navigate a flat earth...Muslims were excelling in map-making and navigation of boats, etc. So, you see my friend...if it hadn''t been for Muhammed (pbuh) and his message...the western world may still trying to navigate the flat earth. I think you need to open some history books and study if you are unaware of the contributions that Muhammad (pbuh) and his message have bestowed upon mankind everywhere.

What? That I can see the hypocrisy of invading a sovereign nation based on either an error or a lie (take your pick), then chastizing Russia for doing the same? I guess it does say something about my intellect. Thank you. :) - Reply to this comment
- another...just that the truth of the message was the same....however, over time...man distorted the message that was originally revealed. That is why we only have one text (Qu''''ran) that remains unchanged as it was originally revealed to the prophet Muhammed (pbuh).

Do you real thing this slimy terrorsalami sub human who regularly thumps that filthy waling wall would understand your description of islam ...let him stay in the darkness he is comfortable their like a little puppy with maggots and flea''s.... - Reply to this comment
- TerrorIslamz, How does a man, Muhammad (pbuh), that is illiterate (cannot read & write) create a text so beautiful, powerful and full of science, and historical accuracies and so much more---that people have written volumes and volumes on the meanings contained within the Qu''ran?...Not only that, but it revolutionized the world and continues to do so 1400 years later...i''ll tell you how. He didn''t write it...the truth/message was revealed to him from God just like it was to Adam, to Musa (Moses) to Jesus and all the other prophets (Pbuh on all of them). My friend, the truth/message that was originally revealed to the prophets, by God has remained unchanged. That is why you see so many similarities between the 3 monotheistic religions, Islam, Christianity and Juda''ism. It doesn''t mean that they were copied from one another...just that the truth of the message was the same....however, over time...man distorted the message that was originally revealed. That is why we only have one text (Qu''ran) that remains unchanged as it was originally revealed to the prophet Muhammed (pbuh).
