1. American terrorism makes al-Qaeda look responsible

Americans treat Fallujah the way Israelis treat Gaza City. US missiles and bombs are launched on Iraqi and Palestinian civilian areas while the Bushistas party with hookers in NY City on tax dollars siphoned out of Homeland Security budgets.

God Bless America!

2. Exactly right

You are not one to mince words.

3. Ding, ding

I'm so ashamed to be an American right now. It would be interesting to compare how many civilians the U.S. government has killed vs. how many civilians al-Quaeda has killed over the period 2000-2004. Doubt we'll ever see any such analysis in the mainstream media, though.

7. Please don't be ashamed to be an American...

... be ashamed that such awful people have been allowed to drag our nation into the gutter. WE are the real Americans, and we are fighting the good fight to restore America's ideals.

9. Thanks, point well taken

I'm proud to be an American, as represented in the tradition of Martin Luther King, Jr and RFK, Jr.

6. What would should we expect?

Our foreign policy is Ariel Sharon's wet dream. I'm not sure he doesn't excercise a great deal of influence on it anyway.

4. The US Military has been bombing Falluja for several weeks now.....

never gets mentioned much outside of Al Jazeera though....

5. This is punishment for them getting in the way of total

conquest of Iraq. Not only do we want the oil, but we want them to bow down to the master and kiss his feet.

8. If it's a "restive city"...

WTF are we bombing it for?

11. Bush thinks of bombing people as a way to pacify them

If you can't control them, kill them. It's a school of diplomacy taught by by the Israelis.

10. and after all this

the Iraqi people still say they like Americans (as in, us). If a fraction of what's happening to them happened to us we'd be calling for a nuclear holocaust of the entire middle east.
