POLL: The repercussions of a US attack on Iraq

[freealways]

>>They were underarmed, and were pityfully exposed in their small sandbag posts, but they had seemed resolved to fight.<<

Many of these people are mercenaries, coming from neighbouring countries and getting paid for their services.

In a way I feel sorry for them that they are swayed by propaganda or money to go and fight for a tyrant.

To make matters worse,they may even not be smart enough to realise that they are underarmed and cannot possibly beat tanks and bombs from above and that the best thing to do would be to throw away one's weapons and try to melt away in the general population.

To make it even worse, how do they think they are going to get paid for their services ?

It is easy to criticise these people but they aren't exactly living under the same advantageous conditions as most of us.

The worst that may happen to us is tbat we may get brainwashed to go and eat at McDonalds.

Hey, wild/msfe/+aliases; you like to post from your favorite rag, The Guardian, so don't mind if I do:

"James Meek of the Guardian, who was with the US Marines, said resistance to the Americans had "all but collapsed" and the numbers of soldiers in the city now seemed disproportionate.

"Most of the people we've seen have been very happy to see us. They've been putting their thumbs up and shouting 'Thank you Mr. Bush'," he said."

Did you get that, wild/msfe/+aliases? The formerly oppressed Iraqi people were shouting:
'Thank you Mr. Bush'

Anything is fair game in msfe's propaganda war. The more blood in Baghdad the more vindicated he feels. Isn't that perverse?

"I'm 49, but I never lived a single day," said Yusuf Abed Kazim, a Baghdad imam who pounded the statue's pedestal with a sledgehammer. "Only now will I start living. That Saddam Hussein is a murderer and a criminal.""
