Sorry I figured your fingers actually could type outside of JT. Islamic is the main religion in Iraq, but the religion is split between shias and Sunnis These two groups held very different religious beliefs then the other major group the secular Baathists. Does that help fill your void for the religious sects? Or do you want me to go into detail of the Christian and Jewish sects too, since they had been targeted by the Islamic groups.

And My friends where Christians. I met them when we (the US military)pulled them from Iraq during the original Gulf war. They had been terrorised by Saddams rule.

And the statement of "the US invasion is killing people without distinction" shows you have no idea what care is taken to not hurt innocents. People who talk like you have never left a couch and actual served in war. They dont understand that the troops are human and are not blood thirsty monsters out to kill children (like Hitler, Saddam,). Many of the Americans who died in Iraq die because we have a code in the use of force, we didnt just shoot the lady with the backpack because she acted strange. Then they die because that innocent looking person had a bomb. My friends and family are in that area and to say they kill without distinction is not just wrong it shows the lack of intelligence and common sense on the part of the speaker of those words.

Yea its called any news agency in the world

Use google and serch any news reports from the era of Saddam. Just asking that question shows your bias. Or you can follow any of the thousands of links on JT about the subject. You do make me laugh though with the tactics of questioning factual statements to try to build a case.

I also know a few people who lived in Iraq at the time before and after the gulf war. They moved back there after 2005. They say since Saddam killed many of there family members because of the religion they had, and they had to live in fear all the time he was in power they think the new situation is much much better. They now have a nice place to live and good business they own. They say they havent seen much in the way of violence in their area of the city. They have some issues but over all they are happy with the way things are going. Just so you know they where not part of Saddams party. They also dont like Bush for their own reasons, but they hated Saddam like any person would hate a man who has their family members murdered and thrown into a mass grave.

See always two sides to a story.

From Europe.

Fact is we dont know if this guy hated Bush. He could of been paid to do such actions.

The question wasnt one of who hates who it was of if the leader was Saddam and the guy threw a shoe at him. Its used to compare the difference of freedom and no freedom. I know its a hard thing to remember but Saddam was a brutal dictator who used GENOCIDE to get his point across.

Also I just ran Adaydreams numbers on 100000 dead parents and over a million parent less kids. each parent had to have ten children each. Seems someone is pulling BS numbers out of his butt again.

The war is bad and just like any war civilians die, but to blame every homeless child and death on the US is just plain stupid, the country had homeless children and a goverment (and religious sects) killing people before the US invaded and they are still doing it today.

Cleo

According to Unicef and other NGO NPO's the death rate of children are lower then 1970 (last time until 1990 they had been recorded) and almost the same as 1990. The defect or birth defect rate is a little higher, but they say that the goverment has stopped training midwives and that is leading to many of the issues.

Your articles (both which are on rag sites) seem to create the numbers they use and maybe are a tad on the opinion side and not on the factual side. But thats why they are a website, so those who are seeking an answer they want so bad to read can find it, instead of finding a factual source.

Sezwho2..

So, unless you want to argue that Saddam was the aggressor....

Well I guess if you dont take into account he was the aggressor in the gulf war, which was what created the UN sanctions, and that he was also ignoring those sanctions, and that he was always trying to push the no fly zone, and the statements he had WMD and other statements of attacking Israel he made etc etc etc.(and on and on) then I can see where he wasnt the agressor.

I guess you can say he was the aggressor and started the sequence that ended in the invasion of Iraq if you take into account the whole picture of why the US was there in the first place.

So you are right about Saddam not being the aggressor in 2003( as in not invading another country), but if you go to the start of the US intervention in Iraq he was the aggressor at the time and created the enviroment that led to the 2003 invasion.

That doesnt mean I agree with the US going into Iraq, but if Saddam never attacked Kuwait then the US wouldnt have been in the region policing him before 2003, and most likely the 2003 invasion (and maybe even the world trade center bombing) wouldnt of happened.

Dont you love what if's and could of's.

leitmotiv And the CIA killed Kennedy, We never landed on the Moon.. yada yada yada.. same crap different post. One ioda of proof for the US putting him in power? Maybe a factual source? Or just stay with the xfile style blame game. Self delusion is a funny thing to bring up when one creates history in their own head, creates situations that never happened in their post, kinda like you seem to be doing in your post above.

Since I was sitting in the region in the Military at the exact time of the US troops firing the first shot, I would have to disagree with your blog version of the war in 1991. We had been sent to the Gulf in August of 1990 and had been on stand by until the launch date of the 17th of January. At that time Iraq forces where in Kuwait, and wouldnt leave the area unless their demands of all resolutions in all countries of the region where meet(which was impossible, and just a delay tactic used by Iraq to gain more time to dig in). So you not only incorrect your just making it up as you go. If you like you can google the gulf war and you will find many many factual history write ups on it.

As far as the Uprising and the deaths from it, I guess that whole UN wouldnt allow the US to go into the Capital had nothing to do with the US not being able to help the people. I for one was willing to go the whole way,as was my whole command,But the stand down order came from the UN..If you dont think Im right ask USAFdude.

Smith your last post is correct. No country has an honest to god democracy in this world, and one will most likely never happen. Not the US not Canada and not IRAQ. But that shouldnt stop countries from trying it. Iraq needs to become what ever Iraq is to become, this will only happen when the US is out of the area. The Mission Accomplished is just a sound bite used against the war, the ship put that banner up, and as far as that phase of the operation it was accomplished. I dont think anyone truely thought the area would stablize instantly, just like no one really things Obama is going to change Washington, its just a sound bite used to argue a point.

As with any arguement people can find blogs or post from people in the region who support or do not support the US invasion of Iraq. We can also find people (who live in Iraq) who think it is worse now then before, and people (in the country) who think its better. Neither side is wrong as its an opinion and not hard facts. What if's and could of be's are just that, guessamations of what will be could of been or would be. In the end the only way we will know if the sacrafice is worth it is what happens to the nation after it has found its own place in history, be it good or bad.

I still cant believe some on here are advocating more then shoes being thrown at the president. Consider for a moment that if the US hadnt gone to defend Kuwait in 1991 we wouldnt be in this stuation now(of course Saddam would have control of Kuwait and most people would be suffering a lot more in Iraq and Kuwait). Iraq wasnt stable with Saddam nor did any of the Normal people have freedom. Now they have Freedom, but it came with a price. In world War 1 and in world war 2 the US lost many men to help other countries so they wouldnt fall victim to Saddam like rule. We Americans have paid the price for so many other countries and very rarely are we thanked for the service we do. Bush going into Iraq to remove Saddam shouldnt of happened, it should of been the other countries of the world doing their part to control a cold bloodied leader. That doesnt mean we should praise idiotic thing that a anti Bush man did. Just like we shouldnt praise someone doing it to Obama, but when you say good for that guy he threw a shoe at Bush you open the door for it to be allowed to other leaders. Many Iraqies are glad the US got rid of Saddam in fact a majority of them are. They have an issue with the state of the country after the removal, and that is understandable. And point of view says it best.

likeitis..

Too bad your logic is warped. Saddams crimes are in the past because the US invaded, not because he retired and went on vacation. Also considering the amount of civilians killed by the US forces is lower then the amount killed by Saddam's personal killing squards would make your point still not true. Again with the stable goverment, stable is a word used to describe a goverment that klilled its people to make itself stable, I didnt see you running from your democracy and safe little home to become an Iraqi under Saddam. SO yes its a two sided sword, the guy would of been dead if he did that to the former leader of Iraq, so he can throw his shoe and live because of the US invasion.

I dont like the fact the US was the country to go into Iraq, but I dont think people understand what they have gained in getting rid of Saddam. I dont support US troops any where in the world other then the US, but I also am not dumb enough to think if Saddam was still in power that Iraqis would be running around throwing flower on his feet, and living the good life.

Just think if Bush hadnt went to war this idiot wouldnt be able to be on tv nor have the freedom to talk smack without being shot. Its a double edge sword. He caused problems by invading, but he also created a life of freedom none of them would of had otherwise. Kinda funny to see the guy use his new freedoms to express his hatrid of the man who gave him those freedoms. Ironic.

United States: Ryan Anderson, life for trying to aid Al Qaeda while serving as a National Guardsman. David Belfield, assassinated a former Iranian diplomat outside Washington and fled to Iran. Clement Rodney Hampton-el, 35 years for helping bomb the World Trade Center in 1993. Mark Fidel Kools, death sentence for "fragging" and killing two of his army officers. John Muhammad, death sentence for his role as the lead "Beltway Sniper." Randall Royer, twenty years for weapons and explosives charges "stemming from the investigation into a militant jihadist network in Northern Virginia." Five members of Jamaat ul Fuqra, a Pakistan-based group suspected of at least thirteen murders in America, jailed for up to 69 years.

United States: Adam Gadahn, sought in connection with "possible terrorist threats" against the United States. Three of four members in the Jam'iyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh, accused of planning a terror spree in the Los Angeles area, are converts. Jose Padilla, accused of planning to "make an improvised dirty bomb," or a radiological dispersion device. Three members of an alleged group, Rafiq Sabir, Tarik Shah, and Mahmud Faruq Brent, are accused of pledging an oath to Al-Qaeda. The list of unindicted co-conspirators in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing includes two American Islamist star converts, Siraj Wahhaj and Bilal Phillips, and what appears to a number of lesser ones (Jack Hamrick, John Kinard, Frank Ramos, Kelvin Smith, Richard Smith).

Thats just a list another put together of the American born converts to the muslim faith who have been into terrorist. My first guy wasnt a citizen he just lived in the US for years and years preaching.

Obama has to not only fix the image of us on them he needs to fix the image they have to us. Its a two way street and yes there have been American born Muslims to do terrorist things here and abroad.

Enough of an answer I hope??

Good Jorb ..

I think you got it right.

Some defend Obama like he is the christ child, others blame him for all the worlds sins. The truth most likely is in the middle. He most likely is like all the other politicians tainted and not clean, but he is trying his hardest to keep it under the covers. They all do it and they all try to cover it. Those who say he is perfectly clean are just kidding them selves, and those who think he is so much worse then any of the others are just wishing.

Thank you Smith. I think the root to this problem is we have an outside person (who has their own objectives) making the decision.

I'm not an Obama groupie, but I think he really is the best person to be making the decision of who should replace him.

I hate to see how many times this kind of "auction" for power has happened and we didnt hear about it. Actually makes me shiver thinking about how many people are in office because of money and not the peoples true desire.(I know most are in becasue they have money, I just shiver a lot I guess)

The big three failing would effect the US in a very hard way. But if you consider the US big 3 have most of the production plants outside the US in Mexico and Canada then he might feel the sting of large amount of the home countries folks going without work. People always forget companies like GM (9th largest in the world) have intrest outside the US and have employees in all parts of the world. When a company of that size fails then everyone in the world will feel it.

I dont support a bailout without complete restructure of the companies, but I do understand the need to keep the boat floating..

Terrorist didnt start attacking American soil when GWB became president. They attacked fist when Clinton was President The original bombing of the World trade center was done in 1993 by Muslim members of a terrorist cell of AQ. This first attack killed 6 and injured over 1000 people.

And to answer adaydreams question here is one who was involved in the 1993 bombing. Omar Abdel-Rahman. He was a direct part in the bombing including the planning.

What ever Obama does will not change the way certian cultures see the west. The view that the west is corrupt has been around since the west became a power. It wont go away because we have a half black president. Its a religious issue not a political one and politics will never remove the issue from the minds of the religious people.

Illinois has long legacy of public corruption At least 79 elected officials have been convicted of wrongdoing since 1972

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28141995/

Illinois has a tradition of people like this guy coming into political office.

This guy was just too eager to do the wrong thing then the right thing to make his way through life. Like many people who let politics become the driving force in their thinking, he didnt see the wrong in his politicaly motivated ideas. Hope we dont get any more suprises from the infamous Chicago style politicians in office or coming into office.

Obama should be the one picking the person for his seat, that way they get someone he would allow in his place.

Let me guess - because you're not allowed to carry a gun to 'protect' your children with here?

No not in the least. I carried a weapon for work, but I never carried when I wasnt required to. Also considering that the city I lived in was a major metro area also and only had a .9 murder rate (in 2005) and of that only .1 percent was a person under the age of 16.. On top of all that Tokyo has more child releated sexual and violent crimes in 2002 then my whole state did in 2005. I feel that alone is good enough reason to feel the way I do. I also in the many years I lived in my state did I ever have any try something to one of my kids, but in the year I have had them here I have had someone attempt to take one... So yes I feel that Tokyo is less safe then where I came from...

Facts are facts, most places in the US dont have violent crime like LA, New York and such. Some Americans dont live in fear every day of their lives. I never had any fear to let my kids play until dark in the states, but even my kids school here(in Japan) has them wear personal (police notifing) alarms on their necks everyday..

I hate to tell you this but your trying to lump one location and one persons experience into every location in the US..

Cleo.. in Eden you can have a perfect world, but in this reality you cant remove a major part of the power structure of the world. Guns are the sword and shield of modern times. Country base their power on their weapons so I just dont see them leaving anytime soon.. I wish we had a perfect world and everyone sang songs around a camp fire everynight, but we dont and its too late to make everyone into fluffy loving teddy bears. So guns are going to be around and we have to deal with them in an intelligent way, not just throw out the Eden factor of Banning all guns...

What about people who aren't planning to kill anyone? But then something happens, they snap, and they just happen to have a Knife in their pocket 'for self-protection, it's the sensible thing to do'?

Shaking in your boots in Japan Actually I am more afraid for my children here in Japan then I was in the states... So I guess it depends on where you live and what you know about the area. I lived in a state that had a very low murder rate, much lower then Tokyo and the Child death rate is almost 600 times less in the state I'm from then Tokyo.. Guns, Knives, rope, and anything else can kill or injure and the murder. Since I have been here there have been multiple gun murders, and injuries from guns.. They excist her even if you dont like it.

Considering you would need a world ban to make anything work in the US, your Idea is not very well thought out in reality.. Drugs are illegal in the US but that doesnt stop the flow from other countries to the US does it? Also 40 states in the US have C&C laws.. in those states the violent crime rate is decreasing.. In the other states (10) violent crime rate is increasing... California has a very high rate of violent crimes, and most of the illegal guns come from Mexico (and California has one of the tighter gun control laws.)..

Taking guns away from those who are responsible is a lot like cutting your wrist and putting a turniquet on it just to have a criminal shoot you in the head... then claiming and praising the tourniquet stopped the blood from the wrist but ignoring the fact the person is dead from a head shot wound...

Yea SuperLib thats the intelligent thing to come up with. Humans are human, and they have been killing each other since time begain. No one said more guns is a solution to anything, but taking guns away from the non violent ones isnt a solution either, is it? (at least according to all the evidence)..

The only thing you can do at this stage in the game is to teach people, and try to control the types available to the general public, but in the end as long weapons are available to buy people will kill with them. And if/when they are Banned people who are criminals will kill with them, Because they will still be able to get them

Next tell me the solution to war, hunger, disease, or any thing else no one has given a real workable solution to. Bitching is just that, and saying dumb statements like ban guns is just not going to so anything for anyone other then lip service. The facts are simple and very easy to follow, Guns are on the streets, Guns are available any where in the world, Humans kill each other with guns, small amount of non criminal people kill others with weapons (outside of war), Taking guns from the non criminals doesnt reduce violent crime, and last but not least most anti gun people have no viable solution but provide a lot of useless comments that dont make logical sense.. I.E. So the solution to gun violence is....more guns?

Hope that answered your question Super...

If all the legal gun owners would be removed from the 29k+ violent deaths a year it would still be 29k+ because its a very small number. In 2005 (the latest numbers available from the CDC shows 29k violent deaths from guns in a population of 300000 people "gurai" And Non fire arm Violent deaths is around 22k for 300 million "gurai"

The same trend shows for suicide..

The numbers show that gun related and non gun related is very close.

http://webapp.cdc.gov/cgi-bin/broker.exe

No one is saying guns are the best thing in the hands of an idiot, but guns are not the root of the evil. Even in this case the Gentleman had been arrested for multiple things related to abuse of this woman in the story. He wasnt just a guy who snapped, he was a guy who foretold what he was going to do and no one listened....

Think about this Smith.. when planning to kill someone people use what ever is the easiest for them to get at the time they are going to kill someone.. Its not an EXCUSE nor is it a Defense to state if someone wants to kill they will kill with what ever they have around. That is why the number of Violent deaths in the US is about the same between guns and other non fire arms.. If your theory was correct then a very high percentage of violent deaths in the US would be from guns, and a very low amount from other means. And Countries like britian wouldnt have a 50% ratio in violent deaths being from guns...

You state over and over that the amount of people getting killed would decrease if Guns are not a factor.... What would happen is this... If guns are outlawed in the US, normal folks wouldnt have one, Criminals would still get them from the black markets (just like they do here in Japan) and a deterrent for criminals will be gone... I dont think every fool should have a gun, but I also know if you remove them from the hands of the innocent the criminals will become more brazen in their actions.

What other proof does one need then the actual numbers that show violent crimes have decreased in states with C&C and areas with gun bans have hi gher then the national average rates for violent deaths.

Guns are here (blame the Chinese) and they are not going to disappear from the criminals hands no matter what you do, so to say banning guns will decrease violent crimes is just not a proven fact, all satistics show areas without guns have an increase in violent crimes, and guns are used as a majority in those crimes..

So show me some proof that areas that have adopted gun bans (after having guns available)have decreased violent crimes.. Just one official study from a goverment will work.....

Smith said...

A lot of you guys are having trouble reading. I didn't say I bet he was allowed to CARRY a gun

But before he said...

I can prove to you that because he was allowed to carry a concealed weapon, a man is dead

Hrmm seems you did say he was allowed to carry the weapon....

Smith Said..

The saddest part of course is that a man died because some lout had a gun and got a little upset. Again, had it been fists there would have been no death here, and perhaps the man could have realized the err of his ways.

Also the man shot isnt dead he is in the hospital with critical injuries

Guns can be used to do harm, but so can knives, sticks, bats, bow and arrow, blow gun, rope, and anything else someone wants to use... Weapons kill because people use them that way.. My brother in law has owned a Bow, a knife, a hunting rifle, and a pistol for 40+ years and strange he hasnt killed anyone with them..

Seems gun violence has been dropping since 1993 in the US (even with the horrid no gun control lmao)

A review of the areas in the U.S. with the most restrictive firearm laws, including such areas as Washington, D.C., Chicago, IL, New York, NY, and the state of California, shows that these areas have some of the highest crime (especially violent) crime rates in the U.S. The crime rates in all of these areas exceeds the national average and they all have enacted in-depth restrictions on firearm ownership that includes licensing and registration schemes, various taxes, testing, and even bans on firearms. In essence, these areas have become a gun control supporters Utopia.

Smith I have arrested many guys in my years that had committed murder with other then guns. So I guess my experience is much more then yours on these types of matters. I cant guarentee he would of killed with out the gun, but I can prove it wasnt a concealed weapon. He wasnt a legal gun owner and the gun wasnt legal, he waved it when he came in, therefore it wasnt a C&C issue... Also Smith he most likely wasnt allowerd to have it at home since he was already a felon.. according to the local paper..

Adaydream.. a stupid statment is to say the man only killed because he had a gun... simple and very stupid statement.. Akaharbara showed very well a Knife can kill just as fast, didnt it? No one is saying the gun isnt a factor, but to make the ignorant statement it was the guns fault is just retarded. People who want to kill will do it with what ever they have.. Let me hit you with a tire iron and see if it takes more then one second. And also I dont watch the news everyday, but I worked as a law enforcment officer for years so I guess I didnt need to watch it on the couch. On top of all that the guy could of carried a knife, or any other weapon in to Kmart as easily as he carried the gun..

Even though the Mod deleted the information I posted that showed the US isnt even in the top ten of the highest per capital in murders, it still is valuable information. Do some research and find out that the US isnt the murder capital you would like to make it. Also considering I can go out right now and buy a gun in Japan(they sell both hunting weapons and sports weapons here) . Here is a link to how to get a gun in Japan legal (you can also get a one illegal, but I wont explain that method) http://www.recguns.com/Sources/IIB3a.html Cleo

Im not a NRA member nor would I ever support them since they spend money foolishly in Washington, but I am a licenced C&C permit holder, I used a gun for many years in my line of work, and I have had to shoot people in the line of duty. I didnt do it with glee (like many on here think gun owners do) and I have to live with the fact I have taken human lives. Even with all that I still think if a person is trained and licensed they should be able to own a weapon (Im not talking a 50 cal machine gun, Im talking a hunting weapon or a small caliber pistol for protection)

With out the gun he would of stabbed him, hit him with a tire iron, or what ever he had to in order to kill the man.. Guns dont make you a killer.. People kill all the time everywhere without guns.. Tighter gun control wouldnt make this type of crime "EASY to avoid it" would make it harder by a small margin to get a gun for someone legally but not for an illegal gun..Also I dont here (or Hear) about this type of overreaction in the US any more then I hear of overreactions in any other country. Like the Guy on the Bus in Canada who cut off another mans head, that was a tad overreacting.

Just because he used a gun doesnt mean he would of let the guy walk away with a black eye.. Sorry Cleo but you havent been in many fights or seen real fights, when a man is willing to kill someone it doesnt matter what weapon he has, hes going to try and kill someone..

Guns that most criminals use are not legal guns, and are obtained in illegal ways. If you ban guns in the US they will just get them on the black market(street) anyways . Gun control is something they need to enforce more in the US (even though it will not effect illegal weapons that much) but a ban is just not going to work, just like taking booze away didnt...
