The point is a nation was illegally invaded, has been occupied for years, their people killed and women have been raped by US forces. One can dispute all the variables, but those facts remain. Nothing in this world could ever make me condone the killing of kids, of innocent women and the rape of a 14 year old girl.
Thing being all this effort to kill and bomb people in 3 nations Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan, and Bin Laden the person who attacked America - never caught
20 odd hijackers, yet millions of people are attacked. I just hope the Western world, has the same understanding as they expect Iraqi's to - if their nation is invaded, homes and cities get bombed, their people killed by the hundreds of thousands and their young girls raped.
CQ before the Americans even went in I knew it was a mistake.
The American government seem to be brilliant at miss reading peoples responses and reactions and always seem surprised when people hate them instead of loving them.
But as far as the bombing killings and rapings go that is common in ALL WARS.
the Americans are just unlucky that every one seems to have a camera when they go in and do these things.
(Try having a camera in Iran, Zimbabwe etc when the troops are doing that you will last 5 seconds)
Once a army sees their own people die especially when it is the very people who they are trying to help their attitude changes hence the abuse of civilians.
The insurgents, terrorist or what ever you want to call them are destabilising the whole process, they are keeping the Americans in their even longer.
If there was peace the Americans could hand over and leave....... along time ago.
Unfortunately it is a lot more complicated than you make out and the fighting by the insurgents is a lot less honourable than just getting rid of the Yankees.
Iran, Russia and many other countries are supplying weapons and training.
In the big picture I would rather have the Yankees win no matter how much I disagree with them than some country that really does not give a shit about rights and freedom like 90% of the middle and far East.
At least you can tell the Americans that, lets see you tell the Iranian, Koreans, Chinese, Russian, Zimbabwean Governments etc that and see how long you last.
There definitely is a bigger picture
