Pictures of Saddam's dead sons...

[Si]

No, I am not gonna post them, but what I wanted to ask:

Isn't showing pictures of dead 'war-enemies' exactly what America did not want?
Or is this ''different'' bc it is for a "good cause"??
Or is this different bc it's America?

I sometimes think that some Americans think they are better than the rest of the world....rules they make do not apply to themselves, bc they are special...

*Si doesn't really get it

(Sorry if I put this in a weird way, but I'm sure you know what I mean
I don't know how else to type it, hehe)

(not that I am not glad they are dead, it is just the idea of the whole thing, showing pictures of war enemies while that's against the "rules" for other countries...)

Im American and honestly....whatever, i hope they post those rapist woman beating bastards pictures all over the place so future shmuck terrorists think a bit before they start poppin the good countries of the world


but if they cant post pictures because of some "law"...then yeah, thats whack if they are doing it because they are "americans"....all i know is im not doing it!

I get your point Si, and you're right. The Americans condemned Al Jazerer (spelt hideously wrong) for broadcasting pictures of dead american soldiers and now is doing this. In this case, i do believe it was right as it may dispell doubts in Iraquis' minds, however this is the only reason why i believe this is okay.

And yes i agree about the whole 'better' thing, of course not all americans think they are (in fact i think it may just be the government, hee hee) better but that is certainly the message portrayed. And as i was saying to Jason the other day, i think very few americans realise the strength of feeling against them in the world.

Pete,
That's exactly why I posted that last part, in bold, bc I am GLAD they are dead, and it's not even about them, it's about this so called law, or rule, whatever, that countries cannot show pictures(worldwide) of their enemies they captured or killed
No country may do that, but America (who, I think, made up that rule) shows those pics

I think that's a bit hypocrite...

But that's just my opinion.

And yes i agree about the whole 'better' thing, of course not all americans think they are

that's why I said 'some Americans"...


And, you're right

I dont think the rest of the world realizes America's resentment towards them either.  Im sick of being a stupid "american" but you know, i have NO choice, i certainly dont have the money or want to go to some other country, its pretty here, people who judge americans based on the government are no better than our government and complete hypocrites themselves


i still wonder when the sun will expand into a red giant and vaporize earth, people cant bitch and whine when they dont exist

[Si]

LOL

I think it is funny
(Off Topic, btw)
how people (wherever) say "US" and "WE"
when things go well, and "The GOVERNMENT" when things go wrong

screw that Si, i dont represent this shit in any way....you can feel free to shoot me in the head if i ever refer to me and the american government as "we"


but overall, my town is nice, i know lots of nice people, i live well and happily....without democracy i wouldnt have that, so im not going to sit there and shun their ways either, i just mind my own

[Si]

Yes

now, back to the topic

I still think the american GOVERNMENT is wrong by showing the world those pictures, even though it is supposedly to "calm the American and Iraqi people" and to "reassure them of their deaths"

[Blake]

I don't follow all this stuff, it would just confuse me....

[Logikal X]

Yes

Well they deserved to die right?   Anyone who says there arent probably deserves to die too.  So what does it really matter?  Im so sick of hearing "americans this americans that" .  I swear the world goverment system treats people like elementary students and they are a bunch of 6th graders pissing in each others lemonade and pulling the girls pigtails.  Im american, i cant deny it,  but all this labeling crap makes me feel like a burden on the world and i havent done shit. i didnt go say "sadam be a dick so america gets mad then every other country gets mad at america for getting mad"  I didnt, and im doubting anyone else really did, shit happens...some whiny ass foreigners just need to learn that life doesnt last forever and they cant sit there and try to choke the life we are born into forever

[Si]

Like I said, it's not really about THEM dying, it is about the American government telling other countries not to show pictures of dead or captured enemies, and then turns around and does that exact same thing they told other countries NOT to

it's not about American people like you...!

*sigh

Don't take this personally, I did not say "Pete did something wrong!" !

[Logikal X]

I know but im American and i feel like i constantly have to watch myself because people in other countries hate me for being born here.  The stupid picture thing isnt even really a big deal, I dont see why they said they cant post pictures of dead enemies when the world has been since the beginning of wars.  WW2 movies and Vietnam movies potray dead soldiers.  Its like the governments dont want to look bad and they want to make up new rules halfway through the game...its "War"...its ruthless and murder and destructive...what do they want a cherry on top too?  I hate all this war crap tho, for real id rather drink a beer and watch cartoons.

[Si]

the same thing, was when the war had just started and people ere SHOCKED that people there got killed!
Goddammit, what the hell do you expect?!
It Is WAR, morons!!!

You think the soldiers would go there to have a cup of tea with the Iraqi soldiers and maybe some milk and cookies too??
THINK!!

My goodness
