Do Iraqi Insurgents deserve to die?
The moderators are probably going to ban me. I ask too many probing questions. It's just proof that the Democrats who have taken over the leadership of our party are soft-spined, weak-kneed milquetoast wussies who get on their knees and start inhaling when it comes to questions about Dubya's war for oil. They don't want to to be seen as "obstructionists," do they? God forbid someone should ask a question that probes the mind and stimulates legitimate debate. That would be "treasonous," right? Don't question Bush or our troops, or else - we might lose another election!

But I'm not afraid. This is my country. Neither this place nor Bush will silence me. I was once one of those soldiers. I fought for my country. My country betrayed me.

So how about it? If our men don't deserve their fate on the battlefield, do the Iraqis? Do they deserve to die? Do they deserve to be shot in the head when they are wounded?

How about their families?

Well?

1. You're a pain in the butt!
Really you are getting on my last nerve! Take your sons and move to Costa Rica and leave us to fight the good fight!

2. I don't know about deserving to die but as you probably
read only something like 5% out of the some 1000-1200 Iraqi insurgents killed in Fallujah (sp?)were actually foreign fighters, which means we are killing people who are miles from where they were born in their own country. Think about that for a moment-and ask what would you be doing if a foreign army was down the street from you.

3. No one is trying to silence you
You are welcome to say whatever you want on your own website. As this is private property, you are subject to its rules.

As for your "probing questions", considering how every single response to your other thread was the same answer, I seriously doubt it was very "probing" or promoted "legitimate debate."

4. Well? These things happen in a Holy War.
The American public just hasn't figured out that that's probably where we are.

5. Same answer

I gave in another. The pro war politicians are the ones who should be in harms way. This war shouldn't be waged in Iraq but what is your point?

6. We would be doing what they are doing
If the Russians invaded us, we would be doing just what the Iraqis are doing to us today.

8. One man's insurgent
is another man's freedom fighter.

No one deserves to die in a war based on lies.
The US is in Iraq for one reason.
They have the 2nd largest proven OIL reserves on the planet.

We have built a whole civilization based on dead 'dinosaurs'.
How stupid can we be? We've known this was coming for 40 years.

Releasing the remaining hydrocarbons into the atmosphere is going to cause RUNAWAY climate change as the permafrost gives up its billions of tons of stored carbon.

We may have a narrow window to stop it, but I doubt it.
Too many entrenched interests and greed.

Only possible solutions I see are...
Fusion to electricity to hydrogen economy
Massive conservation and localization of economies
Endless war and depopulation (this is the current strategy)

What disrespect for our home, our Mother Earth.
THE SINGLE MOST IMMORAL ACT IN HISTORY. DESTROYING ALL LIFE !!

15. Why would you even ask such a question? WE are the bad guys there
They are defending there country against an unprovoked, ILLEGAL, IMMOAL invasion of a disarmed country.

Of course they don't deserve to die!
