Well, I think a disinction has to be made by those fighting the American occupiers, and those that blow up more Iraqi's than anyone else. The latter are terrorists in my opinion.

While I in no way desire even one US Soldier to be killed, the ones that are are part of an occupying force, from a true freedom fighter's perspective, is a legit target.

That's why I want us the hell out of there.

Leaving now would mean we allow the warring factions to split the country asunder. With oil prices rising to an all time high, I rather doubt this is a teniable action.

Somehow, I don't think the Iraqi insurgents make any such distinction, Mia. :rolleyes:

How do you know what they are thinking?

She's stereotyping again. Obviously, all Iraqi insurgents are Al-Qu'ida madmen who won't stop until every last American & collaborater is dead - didn't you know? :rolleyes:

Not that she's guilty of that sort of thing on a regular basis, of course. Oh no. :eek:

Look at the news. Yeah, you're right. I'm stereotyping the Iraqi insurgents as bloodthirsty terrorists because it's entirely justified.

**Matt W** · Jun 27, 2005, 05:47 am

What, like the ones that release their hostages?

tb, EVERY resistance movement - no matter what country they're in or who they're fighting - is a complex & mad state of affairs. To simply stereotype them is lazy, bad planning, crap propaganda, and stupid, strategy-wise.

The news reports show us only one side of the story, the side where we are the righteous heroes and anyone else are the evil demons.

Exactly. Watch Al-Jazeera & the BBC & Fox News, then try & figure out who's in the right. The whole picture is a bizarre amalgamation of the three, and sure as hell isn't black & white like you like to think, tb.

Is that the problem? Color-blindness? TB can't see shades of grey...

**Matt W** · Aug 30, 2005, 06:24 am

That and ingrained stupidity.
