Comment on: Navy Seal Throws Himself on Grenade In Iraq: Posthumonously Awarded Medal

Lots of unsupported opinions in your message above, Intel.

I think we, Americans, always want to help others, all the time, everywhere, but you disagree.

I also think that many folks around the world are competing with us for wealth and power and disguise that as disapproving our actions abroad - it's their problem. I go to Europe every year and would not want to live in any of those countries.

Deeper down, there's an admiration and envy coming our way, which makes me feel good that I am an American. But, people say what they have to say sometimes, and the first chance they get they come to live here, the best country in the world

I don't know how many Muslims are killed by other Muslims. But I do know some Iraqi Muslims are working side by side with American soldiers. Those killings should be considered as caused by Americans.

Muslims killing other Muslims doesn't justify the genocide committed by U.S. soldiers.

Quote from traderNik:

Great. Let's set aside for a moment the fact that when I asked you this question in another thread, you said the suicide bombers were not at fault because the American's are creating 'fear' (I'm still not sure how 'fear' translates into 'Hmmm... I'm afraid, I think I'll strap some TNT to my body and blow up some innocent Sunni kids', but let's leave that alone as well. Let's leave all those contradictions alone for a moment).

Since the vast majority of Muslims in Iraq are being killed by other Muslims in the name of religious difference, why aren't you on an Islamic website calling for the end of suicide killing in Islam? Is it because of 'fear'? Now that would be real 'fear'. I would be afraid to do that too, because they might kill me.

Do you claim you are a Canadian when in Europe? I know a lot of Americans do.

Many see the conflict there as justified war against terrorists to keep Iraq free, led by the democratically elected Iraqi government, and the casualties as the price to pay for freedom, don't you?

I often hide the part that I am from New Jersey - prefer to say New York or Virginia. The Europeans love me

It is a pity that Bush didn't appoint you as the administrative spokesperson.

You've got same stand with Bush's propaganda.

Why hide that part?

You are afraid to be called "Gay American"?

So, where do you live, I? In this country of abroad? Down the street from me perhaps?

 

[Intelinvestor]

Probably not.

Far far away.

You don't want to know how many Muslims are killed by other Muslims. That's why you don't know.

You completely avoided my question. That's predictable, since there's no logic in your position. I won't bother asking it again.

You're like our old friend wael. When the difficult questions come up, you just pretend that you can't hear them.

Your comment about genocide is a slap in the face to Russians, Cambodians, Rwandans, Jews and other groups who have been the victims of ethnic cleansing. You should be ashamed of yourself. But you won't be. That's because you don't have what it takes.
