Well, they were little brown children so they feel that it doesn't
really count. They'll be destroying Red Cross facilities next.
And they wonder why people spit on them when they go on vacation to

Define "civilised". I have a feeling your definition of "civilised"
countries aren't those countries where democracy, human rights or
religious freedom figure prominently, but state-sponsored
vilification of the "West" does...

Alex.
I'm talking about countries that don't go barging in where they're not
wanted - under the guise of "freeing" the populace - without any sort
of exit policy. For example, a civilised country wouldn't have done
what they did in Afghanistan, a country which is now in no better
condition that before the gormless Americans decided to "liberate" it.
State sponsored vilification of the West is no better nor worse than
state sponsored vilification of Islam - the US is just as bad as the
countries that it vilifies. Probably worse, in fact, because it
really should know better, being the self-styled "leader of the free
world".

So countries that just invade for any OTHER purpose are "civilised"?
Or, and I ask again, countries with poor records on human rights and
religious freedom are "civilised"? Please, I would really like to see
your list of countries which are MORE civilised than the US... Bet they
don't include many from the Middle East...

I totally agree - and if you would like to post some evidence of any
state sponsored vilification of Islam (eg. government documentation,
website links, etc.) it would be appreciated.

Ah, but as far as I'm aware the US doesn't televise or promote
vilification of Islam. The US government doesn't exhort its citizens
to action against Muslims, or broadcast/disseminate manifestos or
documents from anti-Muslim extremists on national television. You
may be confusing government policy on certain regimes in certain
countries, with vilification of the country itself...?

I mean, if you would like to post actual FACTS which support your case
against the US, then by all means proceed. I'm not an apologist for the
US, or any other country, but posting the same old rose-tinted anti-US
view - which conveniently ignores human rights and religious freedom
violations in other countries just because they are the underdogs -
really isn't any more acceptable.

Last I heard, the Pentecostal movement weren't a form of government
in the US, so they can't really be responsible for any "state
sponsored vilification", can they? Now, if you're talking about a
group's (or an individual's) first amendment rights to have an
opinion - well, everyone in the US has that right and singling out
one group's opinion is a little hypocritical considering there are
extremist opinions on every subject in the US, not just
anti-Muslim...

Hmm. I don't remember you posting when Saddam INTENTIONALLY murdered Iraqi

And you're saying that a country like Iraq, for example, has
NEVER imposed it's values on other countries and started wars
for no really good reason? I'm sure some of Iraq's neighbours
would disagree with your assessment there...

Let me guess, you don't really like Iraq either?

Perhaps because Saddam wasn't painting himself as the bulwark of
democracy, the protector of liberty, the defender of freedom and the
liberator of some oppressed people. He was a vicious, murderous
thug who rigged elections and maintained a cult of personality, but at
least he was up-front about it.

Oh yeah sure he was. That's why there was no freedom of the press or media, and

No shit. To wit:


MAHAWEEL, Iraq (AP) - The killers kept bankers' hours. They showed up for
work at the barley field at 9 a.m., trailed by backhoes and three buses
filled with blindfolded men, women and children as young as 1.

Every day, witnesses say, the routine was the same: The backhoes dug a
trench. Fifty people were led to the edge of the hole and shot, one by one,
in the head. The backhoes covered them with dirt, then dug another hole for
the next group.

At 5 p.m., the killers - officials of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party - went
home to rest up for another day of slaughter.

In this wind-swept field in the central town of Mahaweel, witnesses say,
this went on without a break for 35 days in March and April of 1991, during
a crackdown on a Shiite Muslim uprising that followed the first Gulf War.

``I watched this with my own eyes,'' said Sayed Abbas Muhsen, 35, whose
family farm was appropriated by Saddam's government for use as a killing
field. ``But we couldn't tell anyone. We didn't dare.''

The mass grave at Mahaweel, with more than 3,100 sets of remains, is the
largest of some 270 such sites across Iraq. They hold upward of 300,000
bodies; some Iraqi political parties estimate there are more than 1
million.



Nor is American generosity lost on the beneficiaries:


BAGHDAD (AP)--Up to 1,000 Iraqis, including children orphaned by the war
that ousted Saddam Hussein, marched through Baghdad yesterday to denounce
guerrilla attacks and show support for U.S.-led occupation forces. . . .

Carrying banners blaming Saddam loyalists for terrorism, the demonstrators
marched down one of Baghdad's busiest streets before gathering in Firdos
Square, where a statue of Saddam was famously pulled down as U.S. troops
drove into the heart of the capital in April.

"We organized this demonstration because the terrorists now kill a lot of
people," said Abdul Aziz Al-Yassiri, coordinator of the Iraqi Democratic
Trend, a recently formed social group.

"They kill the children, kill women, kill the people, kill the police. They
want to stop our plan for a democratic system."

would realize that it's in their best interests to restore order and the
functionality of the infrastructure asap. And if they are glad to be rid of
SH, and want democratic government, why isn't there more co-operation and
support for the US endeavours? And if they weren't brainwashed, what is the
origin for the hostility, and how did they learn the truth without being
informed? Or do you contend that it spread by word of mouth.

Firstly, I wouldn't rely much on the media's interpretation of events inside
Iraq. But even so, if we can assume that there are 500,000 anti-US
combatants among Iraq's population of 19 million, that's still a hell of a
force to be overcome (particularly as those 500,000 can blend in to the
rest of the population with ease). The hostilities against American forces
aren't traditional battle scenarios, they're urban warfare attacks carried
out by individuals and small groups: sabotage, mines and roadside bombs,
snipers and so on.

You ask some interesting questions there, and I'm not sure I'm informed
enough about Iraq to answer them (I doubt anyone here is). I think the
majority of Iraqis are not aggressive to the US, but neither are they fully
supportive of America, at least not to the extent of dobbing in Saddam
and his undercover cronies. Perhaps fear that the US will soon leave and
be replaced by the old regime is also a factor.

The key phrase in your post is that the Iraqis "want democratic government",
because I'm not sure they do. Iraq is a diverse, tribally and religiously
divided country that has always required strong colonial or centralised
leadership to quell internecine feuds and conflicts. It's a lot like
Somalia, Fiji
or the Balkans in that regard - democracy just enables one group to become
politically dominant and oppress the other smaller groups. So democracy is
a nice idea, but I'm not sure it'll work, regardless of whatever the US
does.

Yes, I know. That's why it's such a stressful situation, and difficult to combat
militarily. It's just like Vietnam, where a peasant could have an hand grenade
in a basket of fruit, and throw it as soon as your back was turned.

I'm inclined to agree with you. What bothers me is that, as you say, regardless
of what the yanks do, what is to prevent a power struggle once they leave-
democracy or no democracy. And where is Saddam? What's to stop his return? Are
the Americans going to stay there till they get him? Can they? The cost of
maintaining an operational military presence in both Afghanistan and Iraq must
be enormous, and sociologically stressful domestically as well.

Nothing. Iraq, like many other Arab 'states', has usually been ruled by
the strongest arm. At the moment that strongest arm is the United States,
but they won't stay forever. I suspect after they leave it will go back to
being ruled by the strongest arm. The main point is that democracy can
rarely be enforced, it has to evolve, and that has not occurred in Iraq.

Saddam is hiding, biding his time, waging petty skirmish-war against
the Americans in order to destabilise them and affect domestic morale.
He doesn't want to battle, he just wants to be there when they leave,
which they inevitably will. Then he'll emerge and bid for control and,
given his experience, he may well get it.

The latest one I heard this morning on the radio in that they accidentally
blew up a group of children....
Well I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but this is the problem you face
when you're an occupying force in a country where a large number
of people want you out. The issue is one of escalation: US soldiers
are killed in the streets by terrorists/resistance fighters (call them
what you will) and this angers both commanders and soldiers on the
ground. They resort to more proactive military attacks on bases of
these terrorists/resistance fighters, using intelligence that may or may
not be reliable. And when these attacks kill innocent children, it
further erodes local support for the US. It is cyclical and can only
get worse.

Armies have learned nothing in a thousand years of warfare - you
cannot occupy a nation and subdue a largely-hostile population.
Given that American independence was 'won' by a war of exactly
this nature, their naivete is surprising.

The problem is that when you are constantly on alert, with threat from a
faceless enemy, you can't help but be trigger happy. And the Yanks are trigger
happy anyway at the best of times.

Just how many mistakes will the allies tolerate with regards to the USA in
Iraq?????
The latest one I heard this morning on the radio in that they accidentally
blew up a group of children....
Well I'm sure it wasn't intentional,
Of course it wasn't.

but this is the problem you face
when you're an occupying force in a country where a large number
of people want you out. The issue is one of escalation: US soldiers
are killed in the streets by terrorists/resistance fighters (call them
what you will) and this angers both commanders and soldiers on the
ground. They resort to more proactive military attacks on bases of
these terrorists/resistance fighters, using intelligence that may or may
not be reliable. And when these attacks kill innocent children, it
further erodes local support for the US. It is cyclical and can only
get worse.
The problem is that when you are constantly on alert, with threat from a
faceless enemy, you can't help but be trigger happy. And the Yanks are trigger
happy anyway at the best of times.

Armies have learned nothing in a thousand years of warfare - you
cannot occupy a nation and subdue a largely-hostile population.

Yep. My dad is a Vietnam vet, he is forever criticising the tactics
that some American units used in that war. Apparently their lack
of diplomacy and sensitivity to local conditions and situations often
led them into corners to which the only solution (to them) was to
use force, even if half-blind when doing so. I'm not entirely sure
that's what's happening in Iraq, but it seems as though it might be.

I think the *politicians* were expecting to be hailed as liberators,
I don't seriously think the army was (I sometimes think the US
military is a whole lot smarter than their administration, which isn't
saying a hell of a lot.) Or, possibly, that was the cover story put
out to justify an invasion.

I tend to disagree. I think the military expected to be appreciated. At least
that is the view espoused by some senior officers. Generally tho, I think the
military believed they were doing a good thing in liberating Iraq, and thought
they would be welcome. I also think they are genuinely interested and sincere
in their efforts to rebuild. Most of the incidents are the result of attacks
on them, and most of those are unreported. It's a very stressful situation for
them.

Each of these "mistakes" probably directly affects a hundred or so people, half of them

And why are the Yanks in Afghanistan anyway? In case your interested, it's in the interests
of free democracy. If there were 'suxty sux' thousand foreign troops on your doorstep,
you'd probably be one of the first to ask 'where are the yanks when you need them?'. In
case you fail to understand, and you certainly do, if your 'freedom
fighters (read terrorists if you must)' have their way, you won't be able to vote for Helen
Clark, in fact you won't be able to vote for anyone- if you're still alive to vote at all
that is.

However, that's it from me. See if you can buy a few clues, because I have better things to
do than argue with the clueless.

Don't draw a regional example to paint a global picture, pedro. There are no
fundamentalist loonies like bin Laden, or dictatorial sadists like Saddam
anywhere
near Australia or New Zealand, nor are there likely to be in the near
future. There's
JI terrorists in Indonesia and south-east Asia, of course, then again there
always
have been. Our people might be in a mild amount of danger when travelling
abroad,
but our democratic regimes and institutions aren't in threat (if anything
they're more
at risk from governments-of-the-day than terrorist groups).

As for why the Americans were/are in Afghanistan, well take your pick. Could
be a knee-jerk response to 9/11, could be a long-term strategic step, could
be
a means of procuring a central Asian oil pipeline, could be to establish
influence
over the region before the Russians or Chinese do, could be some or all of
the
above. The issue of making Afghanistan a 'free democracy' appears to be
quite
low on their list, however. So too does eliminating trade in opium poppies,
which is still flourishing.

Gosh you can always be relied on to bash the yanks and defend the indefensible,
can't you. The primary reason America went into Afghanistan was in response to
Sept 11 to crush the al-Qaida training infrastructure, harboured and supported
by the Taliban regime. And as far as us being in 'no danger' from Islamic
fundamentalists.. get your head out of the sand. You can thank the libs and
their strong stance on border protection and security issues for the safety that
we do have, but if labour gets in, God help us. You're a fool if you think that
al-Qaida tentacles don't stretch world wide. The planning for the Sept 11 attack
was done in Germany.

Paranoia to the fore!

As for why the Americans were/are in Afghanistan, well take your pick. Could
be a knee-jerk response to 9/11, could be a long-term strategic step, could
be
a means of procuring a central Asian oil pipeline, could be to establish

quite
low on their list, however. So too does eliminating trade in opium poppies,

No pedro, the primary reason *they told you* they were going there was
September 11- and Taliban-related. Texan oilmen were trying to woo Taliban
members with free flights to the US, not two years before the World Trade
Center bombings; their oppression of women and support for al-Qaeda didn't
seem too much of a concern then. September 11 was the catalyst and the
inspiration for the invasion of Afghanistan, but there were more terrorists
per
capita, and more terrorist funding, in Saudi Arabia at that particuar time
(and
this may still be the case).

I didn't say "no danger" as you so politely put it, I said the danger is
minimal.
Border protection and security really has little to do with it - if
terrorists
wanted to attack Australia, with its massive coastline, sparse population
density, miniscule defence force and limited intelligence capability, they
would have done so some time ago. Bali wasn't an attack against Australians,
it was an attack on Americans first and foremost, as most of the bombers
have already said. You're a fool if you think Australia is viewed by the
people
of the world as anything more than a cheeky little piss-ant of a country
that
hides beneath the petticoats of Mother America.

Nonsense. Ever heard of sleeper cells? The threat is from infiltration of the
population with those loyal to the cause. That's why the libs are so diligent in
screening illegals. And our intelligence capability is much better now, as
intelligence info is shared world wide.

The current figures show that Afghan opium production is 19 times that which
existed under the Taliban and is rapidly increasing. The US needs all the opium

The left kills millions and if they mention it at all it is referred to as a
mistake, Do you prefer a dictatorship? You probably do prefer a mass
murdering dictatorship as long as it is anti American. Sad. Pity you don't
give a stuff about people.
The US supports dictatorships eg Saddam Hussein 1970s-1980s.
Yesterday, the US murdered eight small children in Iraq (we don't yet have
today's figures)
They weren't murdered. Murder is intentional. It wasn't intentional,
Attacking the house was accidental?
They weren't targeted. It was a mistake.
Oh, that's ok then. Of course, if you'd made similar mistakes before
it would be unforgiveable.
I wonder if the parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles etc of those 9
children will be so ready to forgive?
I wonder if the parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, etc., of those
killed by the bombings in Bali, of the UN, the Red Cross, Israeli restaurants, markets,
buses, etc., the British consulate in Istanbul, the World Trade Centre, the Marriott hotel
in Jakata, those murdered by Saddam Hussein, Pol Pot, etc., etc., etc., will be so ready
to forgive?
Why would they be ready to forgive?
Post by pedro
Post by Gregory Procter
How about the relatives of the adults killed by the mistake.
What about the families of those innocent people shot in the market and those of the
people shot in the street?
Each of these "mistakes" probably directly affects a hundred or so people, half of them
already unemployed because of US actions, many without homes because of US paranoia.
If you ever bother to think about it, you'll realize that the recruiters for freedom
fighters (read terrorists if you must) must be flat out printing off signing up papers.
Every "suspect" you kill will gain them 10 recruits.
And why are the Yanks in Afghanistan anyway?
Good question!

In case your interested, it's in the interests

Are you in some way trying to suggest that the present situation in Afghanistan is better than
it was under the Taliban???

Where were the yanks when we needed them? answer, they were sitting comfortably at home selling
to both sides and raking in the profits.

In

That's why I don't support you terrorists.

However, that's it from me. See if you can buy a few clues, because I have better things to
do than argue with the clueless.
I guess you really do need to spend all your free time looking for any clue!

The US troops are war criminals that have been told by their war lord
that they will never have to stand before an International Court for
their crimes against humanity. I hope to see the whole lot of them in
