About the Iraqi crisis. There are some points which strike me as being a bit hypocritical. The Iraqis have gased and otherwise killed and injured one of their lesser loved population groups (the Kourds in the North):
This isn't true, according to both the Defense Intelligence Agency and the U.S. Marines' Archive, both of which have concluded that the bodies of thousands of Kurds showed symptoms of cynanide gas poisoning, which was the preferred chemical weapon of the Iranians, whereas the Iraqis used mustard gas.
And....for yet more emotional blackmail candy BS: Iraqi troops pulled Kuwaiti babies out of their incubators and let them die on the cold floor. This lie was broadcast widely during the Gulf War, to convince the world that all Iraqis were inherently evil. Naturally, FOX have brought this issue up 3 timnes in the last10 weeks and it was mentioned on CNN twice so far (may be more).

Ah yes, they're all lies. After all, you're always right, just like when you told us the video of the Palestinians celebrating in the streets after 9/11 was archived footage, and that fact was widely publicized...Of course you were flat out wrong...
With the title of this thread I thought maybe it would be referencing the residents of Bhagdad and other Iraqi cities who were killed over the last 3 days. Not 16 soldiers in a helicopter accident. big deal, that could have happened anywhere in the world and is an inconseqential accident.
ummm, do american bombs ID people before the hot shrapnel rips through their fleshy bodies?
hmmm military personnel defending their country... kill.

Fellowship, you know you?re addressing the wrong person. That sig was borrowed from the Pulp Fiction script, and that?s the context in which it should be read and interpreted. I was just being playful.

careful with this costique.... while I agree that we shouldn't be there, and I don't agree with war at all... but if the people want a change and are unable to produce a change.... there should be someone to help the people become free... should it be the US? probably not alone, even if the country is perceived as a threat to us (that is such a bogus argument)...
anyways... the fact that 12 soldiers just died should not make anyone happy... we should be sad to see anyone die...
Yes I did, running with scissors. Mind you telling me what is so dumb about this statement? In war there is no emotion, one tells me, so I lingered on the events with the power of my ratio. It seems logical (sic!) that these men/women were there to kill, as that is, par excellence, the goal of a war. A tentative conclusion then would be that the people they could have / would have / should have (...) killed are still alive today. Such is this horrid thing called war which the Americans so eagerly wanted. Now don't come crying if I don't collapse in tears the first time a bunch of 17 year-olds run a helicopter in the ground, fighting for AMERICA!
... got off on a bit of a rant there in that last sentence. Must get hold of myself. Still, I, for the moment, stand by what I said. I WILL listen to any good argument you might have to persuade me of another stance in this matter.

Of course, there are now 12 soldiers less to kill other soldiers, civilians, women, children, dogs, kittens and whatnot.

My prayers go out to their families, regardless of which ever side they were on.
My anger goes to those who helped make Saddam who he is. ( You know who they are )
My time that can be spared is going to support the US troops fighting this war.
My flag only goes to half mast each morning until all those that went, come home.
I little history on Cambodian deaths
