OK, we say we are in a "war" against terrorism. Then we cry foul
when the other side fights back. What the hell is that all about? You can't have a war alone. The enemy has a right to fight back.
They kill civilian; WE kill civilians. It doesn't matter if you "intended" to kill civilians or not. They are just as dead.
Bush said we would go after the terrorists wherever they were and seek them out and kill them. OK. So the terrorists are just doing what Bush said we would do. They are seeking us out wherever we are and they are killing us (coalition members). They have attacked us (coalition) in Madrid, Iraq, and UK. They are going after those who support us just as we are going after those who support them. We, the US--Bush regime started this shit and they need to stop their crying and whining about "evil terrorists" who go after civilians..they are going after people who support their enemy. We call civilians "collateral damage" when we kill them but they are innocent civilians when the enemy kills them.

One thing is certain, there were no suicide bombings in Iraq until we invaded. The Iraqis did not have to live in fear of walking down their beautiful streets until the US military invaded.

We need to get the hell out!

2. Iraq is a paradise for Halliburton and other "Iron Triangle"
enterprises. It all depends on how you look at it.
