As for the idea that the iraq war doesn’t fuel islamic extremism, all you need to do is ask a muslim if it does.
Anything and everything fuels them Big – any excuse to be a martyr , suicide bomber or whatever – an people like yourselves sympathising with their every move doesn’t help
Why should the non Iraqui muslims care about Iraq – there are so many different factions fighting there – its any excuse to bomb the shyte out of the West
Of course there was infighting there before the invasion – there always has been always will be – they are a tribal race
The one thing that gets me about the endgame though – is these countries will never ever be democratic – they wanted Sadaam overthrown – but now what do they want ??[/quote]

25 July, 2006 at 10:11 am #232286Yes let’s place our faith in president bush he clearly knows what he’s doing. He said that invading iraq would create an oasis of freedom and democracy in the middle-east and that all other regimes in the region would fall the same way in domino fashion. That Bush really is a genius. Let’s not bother listening to the arabs or muslims. What do those heathens know? Babbling away in their foreign tongues, probably planning to slit our throats in our sleep I shouldn’t wonder. Obviously a failed businessman from Texas understands the middle-east better than those strange arab people.
Since Bush started bringing freedom and democracy to the middle-east it’s all become so pleasant and tranquil there. The west bank, gaza, lebanon, israel, iran, iraq, everything’s just so peaceful. Nobody’s working on nuclear weapons, nobody’s killing anybody. Yes, since bush came to power the world has become so much quieter. So many beacons of freedom in a world of darkness. People couldn’t vote in Iraq before bush came on the scene but now they can (if they or the polling office don’t get blown up before they can cast their ballot). Mission accomplished! Thank you president Bush, thank you deputy vice-president blair.

such wonderful sarcasm :- :lol: :lol: =D> =D> =D> =D>
25 July, 2006 at 10:45 am #232288yea let’s blame America for everything – who’s to say what sort of state we would be in without their support
The big thing about the USA and the ISraelis – they look after themselves – they don’t fook about
We are too busy tending the needs of 1 legged gay guardian readers and the league of Muslim lesbian marble players to look after the vast majority of law abiding decent citizens in our own country !!!
26 July, 2006 at 11:36 pm #232289so did iraq actually like and respect the west (in particular USA) before 911? if so when? :?: :!:
27 July, 2006 at 2:27 pm #232290Is it mandatory that Iraq had to like them? :?
27 July, 2006 at 8:14 pm #232291i LOVE beef casserole 8) 8) and im hungry!! :D
27 July, 2006 at 8:35 pm #232292All the evidence suggests that Iraq wasn’t involved in 9/11. Saddam Hussein would have been a hindrance in the War on Terror, though, and maybe the US thought they would be doing Iraqis a favour by getting rid of his regime. More importantly, the US being in Iraq and Afghanistan meant that they were in place one either side of Iran should things turn nasty there.
I also just wonder – suppose the US had discovered that Saddam was involved in the 9/11 conspiracy after all, would they want to admit it?
Another possibility comes to mind. Some claims of evidence that Iraq was involved in the Oklahoma bombing have appeared. If this wider plot turned out to be the case, after McVeigh had been convicted and executed, it would cause a political and legal hurricane in the USA.

I received this in my e-mail today. What do you think of the sentiments it expresses?
I don’t know if the war in Iraq is right or wrong, only God knows that. And I try not to be judgmental about other folks. But I love this lady and what she says and I want everyone to know that. The lady who wrote this letter is Pam Foster of Pamela Foster & Associates in Atlanta. She’s been in business since 1980 doing interior design and home planning. She recently wrote the following letter to a family member serving in Iraq. Check it out!
WHAT’S ALL THE FUSS?
“Are we fighting a war on terror or aren’t we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11,2001
Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation’s capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn’t they?And I’m supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was “desecrated” when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I don’t. I don’t care at all.
I’ll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for ncinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
I’ll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.
I’ll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for hacking off Nick Berg’s head while Berg screamed through his gurgling, slashed throat.
I’ll care when the cowardly so-called “insurgents” in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.
I’ll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don’t care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed “special” food that is paid for by my tax contribution, is complaining that his holy book is being “mishandled,” you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don’t care.
And oh, by the way, I’ve noticed that sometimes it’s spelled “Koran” and other times “Quran.” Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and —- you got it, I DON’T CARE!
If you agree with this view point, pass this on to all your e-mail friends. Sooner or later, it’ll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behaviour! If you don’t agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don’t complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our this country. !
“If you can read this, thank a teacher! If you are reading it in English, Thank our Soldier’s.”
now as far as her views are concerned in some ways i feel it is typical american attitude ‘they are always right’
:-k Sorry Huni – There really is nothing “typical” about me. [-X
Now don’t try to argue because you know I’m right. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll:28 July, 2006 at 9:49 am #232294@Mr Bigstuff wrote:
As people have already stated, Iraq had a secular government that had no ties to al qaeda. There was no real problem with islamic extremism there until Bush, in his infinite stupidity, decided to start a war there. Pam needs to look at where all the muslim anger towards the usa comes from. Rather than it being down to muslims being jealous of america’s freedom (yes people actually believe that crap), it’s down to US foreign policy.
Pam displays a common (but not universal) american view that everyone should care what happens to americans but americans don’t need to give a damn about anybody else’s suffering. It’s ignorance but understandable when you look at the people running america.
As for the idea that the iraq war doesn’t fuel islamic extremism, all you need to do is ask a muslim if it does.
god forbid the muslims drop a bomb here and someone YOU love gets murdered or maimed.. good letter PB
