In the midst of their own terror students offer a humane gesture.

Wow, I’m actually astonished how the wingnuts are able to twist this around. Some intelligent, sensible, and sensitive Iraqis send us a humane gesture such as this, after what we’ve done to their country, and they are verbally attacked by the bigots. Amazing. This just PROVES that the wingnuts don’t want, as they imply, to “win the war” by bringing about peace and eliminating the insurgencies. They want to “win the war” by killing all the brown people over there and replacing it with Israelis and white Christians.

move on and let the Iraqi Army, such as it is, fight for their own God-damned freedom, however they define that. I am SO over the moon for the US being the personal White Knight to Iraq.

But, but, you can’t leave yet. You haven’t found those weapons of mass destruction yet. If you leave the Iraqi’s will turn them on the US. You remember. Rumsfult said they could launch in 45 minutes. Where’s your patriotism mr bad. You really do hate the US

We do not recognize their government, so there is no democracy in Iraq.

Oh, yes, there is. They voted. That was democracy…right? … right? /sarc

But building a Security Wall will stop it.

How about if we put a wall around your house. And we’ll let you out when you promise not to speak. Sound good?

#23. That’s a major slap in the face. Didn’t the last great Republican President call for walls to be torn down?

Building democracy in Iraq, one batch of concrete at a time.

The Iraqi Premier has ordered a halt to the wall.

But the US continues to build it anyway.

Chimpy and the Repukes say we are building democracy in Iraq, but they are obviously lying. We do not recognize their government, so there is no democracy in Iraq.

Daryll,
Did Ted Haggard lead you all in prayer at the retreat?

Has James Dobson found any time for Ted yet?

What’s worse: A possessed lesbian or a lying evangelist?

I agree, but lets not forget that US should pay for all the damage against that ruined country…since Gulf War I

Oh, yeah. That idea worked SO well in Berlin.

Z: Sorry Badmoodman, but they wouldnâ€™t be having a battle if we hadnâ€™t started this thing. – - Right, and you can’t put that toothpaste back in the tube, so let’s move on and let the Iraqi Army, such as it is, fight for their own God-damned freedom, however they define that.

Let’s cage off the whites and the blacks here, too. There’s obviously too much tension.

And since the christians tend to be more violent than the atheists, let’s wall them off too. And there’s no need to stop there, the middle class is obviously far too dangerous for the rich and privileged, they need to be walled off too, those little fast food-eating rats.

Great post Peter #11. And I believe this is heartfelt from the Iraqis. It shows humanity does survive in terrible conditions.

To Daryll. War has never been declared. We aren’t fighting a war. It’s been used to death but it’s not accurate. Vietnam wasn’t a war. The current conflicts are not wars. The “war” on terror has less meaning than the “war” on poverty or drugs. This has been part of the larger problem. We’ve allowed those in power to use the terms without it’s true meaning and implications.

The students in Iraq remind the world that there is life struggling to shine.

Iraqis face a new Virginia Tech EVERY SINGLE DAY.

We are destroying Iraq in order to save it. We need to get out. NOW.

Libs, weâ€™re fighting for young Iraqi citizens like the Baghdad Tech students. This is a valid reason why we are trying to win the war against terrorism/sectarian violence.

Funny, #7 Daryll. The worst part here is this happens there every day, yet people there have such compassion for us, the cowardly safe, while theyâ€™re out there facing death squads and bombs.

Your failed war created the situation theyâ€™re in – thereâ€™s no reason to be thanking you.

By the way, Daryll: How does one win a war against an ideology with weapons, hmm? Last I knew, guns donâ€™t stop ideas, bad or otherwise.

Haha! Good one, Daryll! I’ll relay that one to the President.
