    Seems a bit harsh. You might want to check with a doctor about being a sociopath.

    Why should they appreciate?
    Because US goverment killed 1 millions of them?
    Because they lived under sanction for 10 years?
    Will you appreciate if someone use force and do a sex change on you?

    I think he meant they should be happy about not having Saddam as their leader.

    And why shouldn't they have lived under sanctions for 10 years?

    I think they were more happy to live under saddam hussien than living under the occupation of another country. The country that use poor iraqis as slaves and steal their oil.

    Stealing the oil? Do some research.

    Slavery? Show me some proof before you open your mouth again.

    That is not proof of your slavery claim or you claim of stolen oil. That is proof oil companies make money and military run prisons are horrible.

    Great point.

    Nice reflexes though. Kinda makes you wonder about the secret service though. I mean, one show, ok. But the second one got off too? Slow reaction time. I remember when Reagan was shot, there were SS all over that stuff, with sub machine guns, and some heavy artillery in a matter of seconds.

    Just so you understand, Iraqis are being paid for their oil.

    This isn't even a matter of conjecture.

    As to how "they" treat "Iraqis", you're referring to the treatment of certain prisoners. The vast majority of Iraqis haven't been tortured by U.S. forces.

    War is hell, no doubt about it. Lots of wrong is done by both sides during any conflict.

    But you're making way too many sweeping generalizations that just don't hold up under examination.

    Some Iraqis are better off now that the US invaded, and some aren't. Any dramatic change in social structure is bound to create both winners and losers.

    as said on my previous post. go to iraq and see yourself!

    Its clear as sky without clouds that US invaded iraq for oil.
    Now those companies stealing iraqi oils. I am sure most of contracts made are just to satisfy those big oil companies wishes disregarding iraqi people benefits.

    Iraqis are being paid for their oil. The oil is being purchased every day by multi-national corporations (including Europeans). The idea that the oil is somehow being pumped from Iraq and sent to America free of charge is childish.

    This truly can't be your idea of what's happening? If so, I guess you're 12 or 13 years old? I mean you realize the U.S. didn't take over and nationalize oil fields, right?

    Ok, so now several thousand Iraqis have been tortured. The population of the Iraq is 25,000,000. Therefore a very small percentage of Iraqis have been tortured by American forces.

    The number is likely much less than when Saddam lead the country. Murder and torture were his preferred methods of dealing with his own citizens.

    Perhaps we should let all the world's problems be solved with shoe duels! The advertising revenue alone would be in the millions!

    Being a native of Iraq has not been a good thing for something like 30 years. Saddam must have killed millions of his own people. He waged 2 wars, one against Iran for a long time and one against Kuwait. He stayed in power by being a brutal dictator killing many of his own people. He suppressed the Shiite majority and the Kurdish minority, and if a Sunni acted against him, that Sunni was dead.

    I don't think the US should have attacked Iraq. Within months of the end of the fighting between armies violence started to surge to well over 100 attacks a day. It occurred between Sunni's and Shiites, between radicals and both Americans and the Iraqi government. It was pure chaos. The US did a terrible job in establishing peace and quelling the uprising and insurgency.

    For whatever Bush did or didn't do Arab's and Muslims need to look at themselves. The horrors are everywhere.

    Meanwhile the guy had a pretty good arm. A shoe isn't an easy thing to throw accurately. Meanwhile Bush was pretty quick dodging those two shoes. If the guy wore $300 Nike Jordan's I'm sure he never would have thrown them.

    Yeah, the US only tortured some Iraqis, not the majority of the population, so it's all good in your opinion, right?
