Depthblade & others, I hate to say this, but...
You need to Shut the f*ck up!
European news agencies know that europeans will watch stories about things that interest them. This includes (but is not limited to) all kinds of bad news about Iraq. You didn\'t support the war, so any bad news from it is plastered all over your televisions for ratings!
Secondly: I hope you were joking about a government overthrow, because if you aren\'t, then my view of your intelligence has degraded beyond comprehension. -_-
3: The Oil for Food program was a sham for your politicians to get rich. Deal with it.
4: Being abused and having your head sawed off AND THE VIDEO SHOWN ON THE WEB are two vastly different degrees of punishment. How some people fail to understand this bothers me.
5: Sharon would not be prime minister of Israel if the palestinians would stop blowing themselves up and massacreing civilians. Then the Israelis wouldn\'t be so paranoid and the whole thing would stop. You\'d be crazy too if you were under constant theat of death. Domestic scandals can\'t kick a prime minister like him out until the Israelis feel safe.
Why can\'t they all just protest peacefully, then no-one (not even I) would like Israel, they\'d be forced into creating a palestinian state.
6: Even if the pretexts for the war in Iraq were fabricated,
we are going to stay there to prevent a militarist, radical islamist dictatorship.
7: Note that gas prices are going
up in the US, not down. If the war was for Oil, would this be happening? No.
(Yes I know European Petrol is really expensive, but you people did that to yourselves. Furthurmore, unlike Europe where everything is located in cities with miles of countryside, there is actually a need for cars here. Not hummers, of course.)
8: You do realise that people are living off some of the benefits for the unemployed over in Euro-land, why can\'t you just make them get jobs?
9: Bush will not be remembered as the worst president in American history. The right half of the nation will probably look back fondly.
10: You can\'t judge the actions of an entire army by the actions of a few soldiers. It took a soldier himself to report these abuses to his commanding officers!
Bush is not responsible for actions he did not know about. -_-
Soldiers generally are those who can not yet find or afford a better job.
11: If you don\'t like America, quit whining and stop buying products distributed by American companies.
12: If you don\'t like America,
move here and change it.13: \"CNN has not confirmed the identity of the body in the pictures, but it is believed the man died at Abu Ghraib prison.\" Which is the prison with the abuses, gee, I wonder why it happened there?
14: I\'ll quote Niber here: \"USA have more than 500 million population how can you judge a countrys political system after what some small group of american soldiers do?
I know it\'s not looking too bright for Bush around the world but small things like the POW-torture have nothing to do with him.\"
15: There\'s a man called Chalabi* who was in the employ of the US gov\'t. He gave false information on WMD\'s.
Lastly: It is clear to me that DB either conciously chose to create a Hate-America thread, or he actually intentioned it to have valid arguments and accidently created one.
I feel much better now.
*mutters to self* ...and to think just a few hours ago I was called a liberal...
