Fuck Iraq

Fuck Iraq

From A Student

Over the last half day, the only thing I've been able to think is "Fuck Iraq."

Really. Fuck Iraq.

And I don't want to hear any fucking idiots saying that we belong over there, that we're sending KIDS there for a reason, that there is a purpose for it all. There isn't a single God damn purpose for any fucking kid to be over there, fighting for something that no one over here understands, dying, for no real reason.

THERE IS NO REASON FOR THEM TO BE OVER THERE RISKING THEIR LIVES, THEY'RE NOT PROTECTING OUR COUNTRY FROM IMMINENT DANGER. Jesus.

Why am I saying any of this?

Because a guy I graduated with, LESS THAN A YEAR A GO, from my class of approx. 50, died in Iraq. HE DIED IN IRAQ. Yesterday. They left the states Feb 20 and now March 9th he's fucking dead. He's DEAD.

SO I SAY FUCK IRAQ and FUCK you supporters. Tell me how YOU feel when someone YOU know is killed overseas. And you can't even give yourself a good fucking reason. You can't tell yourself, he was over there protecting us. You can't tell yourself, he did it for the good of America, for the good of mankind, for the good of fucking freedom.

So fuck you. And Fuck Iraq.

Dan I think you're very mature and intelligent for sticking up for yourself and your belief/s. Sorry if I offended you.

Thank you Anne, and I admire you for being the one to bury the hatchet when I couldn't.

May Matt rest in peace.

Out of all this, no one picked up Sheyre's comment about the total waste of Haiti. I feel Tangled has the right to feel anger--though without the F expressions--and dread for a war that came about by pretense of imminent threat. I also love the juxtaposition of LaVoix and Brad comments.

Knowing how the various wars in US history started didn't require any research today. Just knowing history over the years.

I agree with her right to be pissed off about the situation though. If roles were reversed, I'd be ticked off too.

War has 3 rules.

1. Young men die.
2. You can not change rule number 1.
3. Someone has to walk the point.

Study history all you want and you will not be able to deny these 3 simple rules.

Now, "Do we belong there?"

I am a vereran of the 'first' Gulf War, which if you check with the VA, this is the same Gulf War that started in 1991. This war has continued through every possibility of diplomacy and restraint that was available. The UN failed to do anything about the atrosities of Saddam. The UN was fat, dumb and happy. The train of thought that thinks that if you simply ingnore a threat that it goes away, that it isn't dangerous, that it just works itself out, is kind of like hiding under the hay until it's set on fire. Thank God for President Bush. The USA turned our cheek until we had two black eyes...........stand for something or fall for anything.....
Freedom is not free.....

1. Young men die.

That's not just a rule of war.

This will hopefully go down as the worst blunder of the twenty-first, otherwise the future's not so bright. If it's only getting worse, wow, the future is going to be scary.

I agree. fuck those fucking rag head scum. look at what happened 2 days ago. the civilised nations of this world (i.e. US, UK, Canada, Australia etc) are laying down the lives of their youth to save thouse f..king cu.ts from tyranny and how do they repay the favour...by burning, mutilating and degrading the bodies of US contractors who are trying to repair their fu..ing electricity etc. i say withdraw and let those fucki.g muslim scum get on with it. fu.k them all. nuke em. they are animals.

p.s. those scum should be booted out of the west once and for all.

p.p.s. I am (or was not) an extremist until i saw those animals celebrating over the charred remains of 4 american humanitarians on wednesday

"I agree. fuck those fucking rag head scum"

How wonderfully articulate. btw, do you think that replacing letters with periods creates a less offensive atmosphere? I hope not, or else you are certainly about to be rudely disillusioned.

And btw, "those animals" that were celebrating had better be every muslim in the world, because that's who you're condemning.

Bummer about your friend, but pull your head out of your ass...people die all the time. Better he dies trying to straighten out a screwed up little dictatorship than in a faggotty car wreck on prom night or from some local scum bag knifing him for eight bucks and change. You're what??? 18 whole years old? Grow some pubic hair, Get a job, get a clue, make some money, pay some taxes, then come back with an opinion. No taxes....no opinion....that's the rules.

Cry me a fucking river baby boy. Did your friend want to be in Iraq? Maybe he was proud of doing the duty he raised his right hand to do. Duty is what he was doing, so why don't you go back to hiding in your class room and shut the hell up. War and death are the things which happen when our men and women are sent into harm's way. This is the reality of it.
I was a DOD contractor in Iraq before the Mehdi Army busted a cap in me. I will be going back...why...because I get paid a shit ton of money to smoke Iraqis. Fuck Iraq and the Iraqi people, their culuture is shit and the people are shit. There was a time before I went there that I hated Isreal for the treatment of the Arabs. Today, I say fuck the Arabs let Isreal have it all. Your friend died doing what he volunteered to do, there is nothing wrong with that. You are being pretty self-centered on the whole issue. You should be happy for your friend, he died doing his duty. Learn more about honor and quite shitting your panties!

Fuck Iraq.

Your absolutely right, fuck Iraq and the people that live there. I could give a shit about them or their damn country. Our soldiers are dying for nothing.
