Dude, music torture is a fukn joke, its a distraction like obama's dog. What you need to think about is how many millions of middle eastern families will be coaxed with revenge following the mass slaughter of non-combatants in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Read my earlier posts, do some research and wake up man. Your country did My Lai, and guantanimo was / is a gross human rights mistake and so to was Iraq. What makes it all worse is journalists report this now, you can't hide the truth and IT WILL encite more terrorism.

I disagree when you say kill anyone. Do you read newspapers? Have a read and then get back to me because im pretty sure when Pakistani Muslims slaughtered almost 200 in Mumbai last month they spared people from Muslim countries.

 

U.S. troops SLAUGHTERING of non-combatants?  Are you reading Al-Jazeera or something?

First and foremost, don't confuse me as being a fan of how the war in Iraq has been fought.  But our forces have largely been very humane in the treatment of enemy combatants and the people we have liberated.  Independent polls have shown that majority of Iraqis are happy we toppled Hussein's regime and are happy we are there to prevent their nation from falling into all-out Civil War. 

Everyone has a right to a different opinion, yourself included.  We can disagree on the who, what, when or where of any conflict and that's okay.  We don't even have to agree on whether or not the Iraqi war is/was neccesary or not. 

But do not insult the good men of the U.S. Armed Forces.  Every nation has it's blacksheep, and our military is no different... but our troops are LARGELY there for the right reasons, and are VERY humane in their treatment of the Iraqi and Afghani people.  We've opened hospitals, given them food, protected their women & children, freed them from the grasps of a murderous dictator, and given them the opportunity to choose their own destiny amongst other things.

Our troops are the most humane and hardest fighting troops on Earth, which is more than I can say for most nations.

And no, I do not agree with every conflict the United States has been in, in its history.  But I really get sick of whiney Europeans who started bitching about us the day after we liberated them from Facism.  After the Great War, we were painted as devils and Europe wanted no part of us.  Then Hitler & Mussolini started their conquest across Europe and then the rest of Europe begged for our help again.  We give it, save their lives, and then they insult us again.  It just gets old after awhile.

The world would be in a much sadder state if it were not for the generally good hearted determination of the United States' will to fight evil wherever it may lie.

We didn't pick a fight with the Islamic terrorists, they picked a fight with us by bringing the war to America first.  They wanted it, and we gave it to them.  And if they want to keep it up, we will too.

And the next time the Europe gets itself in trouble and cries for our help, we'll be there as usual, despite the fact that Europe will never do the same thing for us (not counting Great Britian, as they have always been faithful friends of ours).
