We hear about mass graves being found in Iraq, and the liberals still don't think we should have gone there because we haven't found WMDs.\nWhen there was ethnic cleansing in Europe, people were horrified.\nDoes this have anything to do with the race and creed of the victims?

For the liberals it has more to do with who is in charge.  They didn't seem to have any problems when our military was placed in harms way under Clinton.  They didn't seem to mind that Clinton sent troops under UN direction and were left to die in Mogadishu and Kosovo.

I would hate to even think about it. But revenge is the answer. Isn't that the first reason Afghanistan, then Iraq were invaded to revenge 9/11. It's human nature, only there has been no concrete proof approved by the UN to prove they were responsible - only media coverage that had the effect of mass brain washing and that has confessed that Iraq had nothing to with 9/11 or had WMD.\n\nIraqi and other people are being punished and labeled as terrorists simply because they are defending their country; a country that was invaded for no reason, lately being bringing them democracy! Democracy on the other hand would not accept that people are jailed, sent off to be tortured for years without a trial then maybe finally released without being convicted of anything.\n\nThese people (Iraqis etc.) have nothing to defend themselves with against heavy military weapons, napalm bombs bombarding on them and their loved ones, destroying their homes and the infrastructure of their country and yet they fight back, they are terrorists!\n\nOther nations, can shoot children and women on the beach because they have a "right to defend themselves" while other nations are being fought on their own soil by invaders and they do not have this same right. I cannot understand the discrimination and double standards applied.

if you read some more news (not edited for content by liberals) you will see plenty of U.S. civilians and troops tortured, killed, their bodies drug through the streets by the good and noble people of Iraq. I was there I know what really went on, and the liberal newsreports don't want the public to know the truth.\n\njust check with al jazeera and see who has been kidnapped and is awaiting death. Also check and see how many were killed, their heads sawed off with a dull sword, for the glory of allah.\n\nsome soldiers have done unspeakable things and are being punished for it. but who is being held accountable for the kidnappings, torturing and killing of journalists and aid workers?????

I could not agree more...\n\nNobody seemed to bat an eye when Zar.. was recently killed and they found the bodies of a woman and small child in the mess afterwards.\n\nMakes me sick how we don't seem to give a rat's fanny as if it is anyone other than an American.\n\nI was discussing us bombing Hiroshima and Na.. once with this guy and he said, "who cares that 2 million died, they weren't Americans." I just went speechless.....\n\nFor some reason, and I have no clue whatsoever as to why, we believe we seem to have all the 'right' answers, know the 'right' things, and that everybody else from any other country is not worthy enough to make decisions at our level... therefore devalueing their lives.\n\nWe have lost our sense of humanity to an expontential degree!

No, I do not believe they had anything to do with the events on 9/11 because I happen to be sane.\n\nAs for his daughters, why should they be in Iraq? It is an all volunteer military, and if they choose not to volunteer, that's their business. 'Their bodies, their choice' don't you people always say? Also, it would not be a good idea to have high profile people like this in that theater in that type of war. Too high a propaganda value.\n\nOf course, since Chelsea Clinton fought in Haiti, Somalia, Serbia and Iraq, the Bush girls should be ashamed. What's that? Chelsea didn't fight in all her father's military actions? I bet the liberals were furious with Clinton for that, no?

Its not an accepted fact.  If you notice 90% of the Democrats who were screaming about "No WMDs in Iraq" have all but shut up.\nIts because evidence has come out that Iraq did indeed have working WMDs and that those working WMDs were sent to Syria, as well as other places.\nNow the only ones who cannot accept the fact that Iraq had WMDs are the liberal sheep who haven't heard any different from their leaders.\nBut as I stated above they are not talking, they don't want to show their ignorance, and stupidity, and if someone doesn't talk about something for a while, eventually everyone forgets about it...\nThe problem is that the liberal sheep are still screaming that there were no WMDs, and keeping that fire burning, which will eventually force the democratic leaders to fess up and say, "Ok there were WMDs.  They have been shipped to Syria.  But Bush is still to blame for every social and moral wrong that you can think of."

The war was based on a lie.  So we got rid of Saddam.  Does this mean we have to overthrow every other dictator who abuses his own people too?  I think not.  There are some angry, angry people here who, like their Republican leaders, hate to hear the truth.  Listen to the bonehead who thinks all liberals should be shot and be afraid.  This is the kind of person who avidly supports the brain-dead George Bush and all he stands for.  Given the chance, these nuts will destroy our country.  God help us.

Reminds me of the questions coming from women and children in Auswitz in the early years of WW II, "where are the Americans, the British, doesn't anyone know what's going on?"  Why should we fight other people's wars?? hmmm, i guess there are plenty of reasons, but i still hear those ghosts and don't want to relive the past.

Amnesy International is a less biased source than President Bush, that is for certian. It is amazing that our control of this country has resulted in the deaths of thousands of civilians and we have a hard time understanding why people are so upset. We did finance Saddam, as we have done other dictators. It doesn't make it our fault that he did this to his people. I think it is just really interesting that our stated reason for going over there is that he attacked us. When that wasn't true we changed it to weapons of mass destruction. Well... that wasn't true either. Now it is presented as spreading democrarcy... hmmm... if our goal was to protect people from corrupt governments and spread democracy we would be in a lot of other countries...and we would be assisting countries that are starving. Kind of blows that out of the water doesn't it. I respect our troops deeply, that they would put their lives and destiny's on the line for us and I feel sad and distressed that we are not even being honest about why we are ending their lives as well as thousands of civilian lives that we don't talk about in the so called "liberal" media.

That is an excellent question that I have been asking since this war started; but, back then not so many ppl were listening.. Most were still caught up in the lie that Iraq was behind 911. Thank GOD that lie was proven false with the 911 Commission Report. \n\nAnyways, it is disgusting and I get very upset over it sometimes because I feel like a murderer... my tax dollars are paying for their slaughter and nobody seems to care.\n\nNobody batted an eye or paid any attention when there was a woman and small child found in the rubble when Zar.. was assassinate. That's only one example of all the children who have been slaughtered by our military.\n\nI just don't understand the degree of lack of humanity we have come to as a nation.

I agree with. This is very horrifying and for what? Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, did not have WMD and definitely democracy is not anywhere near Iraq. Not to mention the situation in Guantanamo and the rendition facilities where many are being kept under severe conditions without trials for many years then after the damage is done and they are not fit as human beings, they may be released without charge. \n\nThe Iraqi people were better off under Saddam and Americans would have been better off with the billions spent on this needless war, not to mention what these soldiers face upon returning home (if they do) the psychological trauma, the effects of depleted uranium etc.\n\nThank you for the websites. God bless you I look forward to checking them out and may I recommend this site to you: www.whatreallyhappened.com

Personally, I noticed that they burned a Chinese restaurant, looted their own peoples businesses, set fire to police boxes and were brought under control by their own police. As I have said so many times before people tend to forget, like with the Afghans during the Russian occupation and with "Kirun". Speaking of "Kirun", the next time that England, or France, or all of Europe needs to be saved from occupation and extermination, as in WW1 and WW2, don't call on us, call on Iraq, Iran, North Korea,Vietnam, China, or oh my, Afghanistan. I'm sure that they will rush right over to lay their lives on the line for your countries.

You make a very good point....I am so sick of hearing everyone complain that there never was any WMD found.....personally, I can sleep allot better at night knowing that they never found any instead of always wondering "what if"

At first this question offended me.  I suspected a touch of anti-semitic bias.\n\nThen I went on the web to look at some facts regarding the number of non-Jews who were also victims of the holocaust.  The facts lend legitimacy to the question.  There may have actually been MORE non-Jews killed in the death camps.  \n\n(For a quick read on this, go to the Wikipedia link below)\n\nSo, back to the original question..."Why is it that we only hear about the Jews killed in the concentration camps?"  \n\nMy guess is that they exist both as a homogenous group (Jewish) and as a nation (Israel) that is a close ally of the U.S.  All through the cold war years when we were writing our version of the history of the holocaust, many of the non-Jewish populations that were affected had fallen behind the iron curtain (Poland, Hungary, Romania, etc.).  For nearly 40 years the interests of these people and the stories of how they too suffered at the hands of the Gestapo were not foremost in our national awareness and empathy (let alone our textbooks). \n\nOther under-represented victims included the mentally or physically disabled, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Communists and political dissidents, trade unionists, Freemasons, and some Catholic and Protestant clergy, many of whom were also persecuted and killed.  All of these were also less politically viable after the war or were also victims of our own ignorance and bias here in America.\n\n\nTo sum up, I don't think that there is some "devious plan" to manage the perception of the holocaust as an exclusively Jewish persecution.  I think that the rest of the various (and many) groups that were targeted simply didn’t engender anything like the unified outrage of the Jewish community and the state of Israel. \n\nGood question…made me think.

lol, you must be an idiot if you think you will get a straight forward answer.  I must be one also, because I keep asking simple questions expecting answers, but all I get are the same run around answers that don't apply to the question.\n\n\n****  Answerman*** Saddam had known ties to terrorists.  You are saying what you are saying because the left wing news media likes to put these little personal twists into the stories.  They say things like, 'Although there Al Queda has known ties to Saddam, the relationship is unknown'.  Well, I guess we should believe it to be harmless.  Maybe they are just all drinking buddies, or maybe they play chess together.  Lets assume the best.  Lets not assume that since they both hate America, and that they both murder people on a daily basis, that their ties can have anything to do with terrorism.\n\nStart using your brain.  God gave us all one, liberals just just elect not to use it.

Well, I think that the US people are mostly to blame. We always get fixated onto our own 'domestic' issues, and hardly ever look outside the box. Our media giants never feed us the true news, and we have to spend hours searching on the internet to find the true story, but I still think we are too naive. There ARE much more important things than Iraq, like the genocides in Africa, but we never really care. Sometimes, it just gets me so mad. Then again, i'm only 13... PS. Thanks for helping me on my WWII question. I think yours was the best answer, but I accidentally clicked on Start a Vote. It's my first time using Yahoo!Answers,

"Clinton also stated that, while other countries also had weapons of mass destruction, Hussein is in a different category because he has used such weapons against his own people and against his neighbors."\n\nThat says it all, doesn't it?
