So you figure the Saudis have rearrested more or fewer than they say they have ?

Do you think that might be due to the fact that the U.S. has invaded and destroyed their countries and murdered, kidnapped, and/or tortured their friends and families over a pack of blatant lies? <censored link restored because knowledge and truth are power> http://www.alternet.org/world/63632/?page=entire -- "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance." -- Albert Einstein. http://911research.wtc7.net http://www.journalof911studies.com/ http://www.ae911truth.org

I didn't enter this thread to debate 'why' or the military. 'Why' is endless when discussing a topic concerning literally millions of people. I come from a strong military family. As far as I'm aware, they have served their country honorably. War is hell, bad things happen. Both sides commit atrocities in any war. That's why it's the *opposite* of peace. It's killing and maiming and torture. Your picket sign carries little or no weight in a usenet motorcycle group, just as mine does over the pirate issue. People have been slamming Bush and Cheney since they entered office, feel free to continue the tradition. I'd dare say tho, that overall, the Iraqi people are glad to have had us there. My opinion is that we've been there long enough. After this amount of time, they should be able to carry their own weight. |
