I was reading an article on aljazeera.com about how life in Iraq was better under Saddam and it's all the US's fault now. http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=11136 - Article

Read a comment form a guy, and it made me sick.

United torture and terror states? Wow...

Yeah.. it's SOO our fault that people get kidnapped and beheaded by insurgants. Blame it all on the UTTS.

Please.. show me those facts.

So.. the US, sorry, UTTS, made crime? We made robbery? Crime NEVER existed before the UTTS came? Hmm.. learn something new everyday.

True.. if you present a threat to someones life. Run at a soldier in ANY country with a weapon, or what can be percieved as a weapon, and lets see what happens.

Justice is to kill people trying to raise someones quaility of life? Justice is to kill people for no reason? If so.. Iraq is the most Justic-y country on earth at the moment...and this Jerry fellow must be the Secretary of Justice.


I submitted my comments to AJ.com, but I wont be surprised if they arent posted.

I never said it wasn't worse, but to blame it on the US is ludacris.

We dont run into peoples houses at night, kidnap them, then behead them if ransom isn't paid.

In any conflict all sides much wear an identfiable uniform, this is to limit the number of civilain causalties. They insurgents are scared wimps and do not care about the civilains, so they hide among them putting them in danger.

You keep talking about how the US has done things wrong, but not once have you spoke out against the violations of the insurgents.

They kidnap people and hold them for ransom, that is a violation of the Genivna convention. They torture and behead people, that is a violation. Speak out against all illegal acts.


EDIT: And yes, there are instances. But to balme the whole US for a freak is wrong.

You do know the definition of a catalyst, right? Or is your definition different than everyone elses, as was the case with hero?

Regardless, a catalyst is something that starts a series of events. IF we actually were the catalysts of what happened/is happening in the middle east, then we are indeed the reason for everything, or the majority of what is wrong.

While I'm not sure I agree with that, that is what you just admitted to.

That doesnt matter, BECAUSE YOU SAID WE WERE THE CATALYST. I didnt twist your words around, and I didnt put words in your mouth. I explained to you what you said. OF SORTS means nothing, because given any meaning, a catalyst OF SORTS is still a catalyst.

Being the sole purpose in the begining doesnt mean it's the only objective in the long run.

When we attacked Germany, our main focus at first was to get rid of Hitler. Afterward, we helped rebuild their country.. and even helped them get out of communism much later.

It's not about favors. All we're doing is attempting to  fix what we screwed up in the first place. Leaving Iraq now would cause pain and suffering for the people of Iraq, and staying there seems to cause a great deal of pain and suffering as well. Doesn't sound like we're doing them a favor either way.

Wrong. If that were true in ANY sense, they wouldn't be complicit with helping us help them.

They might not enjoy us being there, but they KNOW that if we leave, it will be anarchy. They know that as soon as we finish our mission, life there will be better then it ever was.

It ALWAYS gets worse before it gets better.

*Sigh*. The trouble with you, Linus, is that roughly half the time you're right on the money- and you labour under the belief that that justifies at best uninformed, or at worst downright ignorant opinions the other half of the time. I'll take it line by line.

Quote In any conflict all sides much wear an identfiable uniform, this is to limit the number of civilain causalties.


Wrong. I know why you think you're right, but you aren't.

The Geneva conventions are idealistc, and at times, obsolete. They were written to accomodate a conventional western notion of war- specifically, the army of the U.S.S.R. roling across the Fulda Gap into West Germany. The conventions are suitable for such a conflict, where the parties are easily discernable national entities. The parties to the conflict would be signatory states to the conventions, and each would abide by them (ideally), because both share contemporary western notions of morality.

The Insurgency in Iraq fits none of this criteria. Those who are engaging coalition troops do not represent a state; they represent militias and insurgency groups, each of which claims different political and religious affiiliation and intention. They are NOT signatories to the convention, and thus are not bound - either legally, or in their own eyes morally - to abide by them. The United Nations have assumed a jurisdiction that these people do not recognize.

'Civilian' is far too black and white a term for this conflict. There are those who openly or covertly take up arms against the coalition, and then there is a large portion of the population who tacitly or materially support them. Becuase the coalition is not fighting a state-entity, there's no solid basis upon which there can be constructed aystem of definitions of combatants, infrastructure, and support personnel. Strictly speaking, the atatcks on coalition forces are legally considered criminal acts of a domestic nature, and so the geneva conventions have no relevance- because the aggressor is not a nation-state, but a domestic insurgency. The coalition chooses to abide by the conventions because to do otherwise would be morally reprehensible (and political suicide), but to assume the insurgents are bound by them is utterly incorrect.

Quote They insurgents are scared wimps and do not care about the civilains, so they hide among them putting them in danger.
sic

They are not scared, nor are they wimps. Your moral analysis is utterly eurocentric. You cannot judge a group of people by a system of morality to which they in no way subscribe.

The insurgency uses tactics which we consider morally reprehensible, but to them it's solid good sense- they're confronting a vastly more powerful military forces, and guerilla tactics are all that will work. They've adapted guerilla warfare to the complex urban environment. They have also systematically determined the cultural, sociological, legal, and moral vulnerabilities we have that preclude us from fighting out end of the war to its barbaric extreme. Recognizing those vulnerabilities, they have incorporated them into their tactics.

My unit had a presentation from a USMC SSgt who was in Iraq for nine months fighting in very intense combat. He was a platoon sargeant, and on two separate occasions had an entire squad of his platoon killed in action (12 men per instance) as a result of carefully contrived ambushes. He disabused me of the notion of the insurgents being 'scared'. They're simply more willing to use tactics we would consider barbaric.

They DO care about civilians- they are willing to risk their lives so that their families and neighbours can live a peaceful life full of western influence and in accordance with religious doctrine, then go to Allah when they die. As they see it, those who are killed in the fighting have simply been blessed with Paradise sooner.

They operate on an entirely different set of moral criteria from us. You CANNOT allow yourself to forget this. EVERYTHING must be evaluated in context, lest you misjudge or underestimate our enemies.

Quote They kidnap people and hold them for ransom, that is a violation of the Genivna convention. They torture and behead people, that is a violation. Speak out against all illegal acts.


I agree with you about how wrong these acts are, but don't confuse them with violation of the conventions. These groups were not anticipated by the framers of Geneva; everything was expected to happen under the auspices of a conventional conflict. Nearly everything they do is justified tactically, if not (by our standards) morally.

Quote EDIT: And yes, there are instances. But to balme the whole US for a freak is wrong.


Prior to the Invasion, Iraq was a stable, relatively prosperous nation run under a brutal tyranny. Crime was very limited, and there was a stable infratructure. Much of this has beend estroyed or put on hold since the U.S. invasion. I do believe that in the long term the invasion will be better for the Iraqis, but America cannot deny blame for a tremendous amount of suffering in the short term.

How? The fact that you said we were the cause of what is happening still stands, and it doesnt change the fact that a catalyst initiates the incedent. The reason behind the event has nothing to do with the fact that it started what happened later.

And how do you go about inferring you any more educated than me? you dont know me, my background, my grades, GPA, anything about me other than what you see on this forum.

We didnt tell the insurgancy to attack government officals and try to assinate them and their familes.

We didnt tell the insurgancy to kill Iraqi national guard or police forces.


We blew up some infrastructure, which we rebuilt or are in the process of rebuilding/making more efficient and better.

If you would have taken part in any prior discussions with me about the Geneva conventions, you would know my stance on them: Outdated and unrealistic.
The whole point of me brigning up the Geneva Convetnions in this post was to show that in the eyes of the civilized world, every act that the insurgants do is ILLEGAL, whether they are undersigned or not.

I dont sign a paper saying I wont kill someone, but that doesnt mean I dont have to abide by the law pertaining to it.

The whole point of the post was we are fighting illegal combatants, and hence forth, there should be other inclusions into the accords whereas it gives this type of conflict some leeway.

People can't expect the US to be flawless, especially when the enemy doesnt follow international law.

They are NOT considered POW's becuase they are NOT legal combatants, whether signed into the convention or not.

Ok.. #1 it's an opion.

And #2.. in my opinion, they ARE. What type of person does it take to kill innocent women and children? What kind of person does it take to kidnap someone and behead? In my opinion--- a wimp.

In general, they are too scared to fight our military one on one on the open battlefield. Sure, it'd be foolish, but I make a point.

It doesnt take much of a man to hid and shoot every once in a while. It takes a real man to stand up to the enemy and fight back.

For Christ's sake. Read what I wrote again. Digest it for half an hour, then erase everything you just wrote and try again. You didn't grasp a single concept I brought up- further argument is useless until you make the effort to grasp the material I provided for you. Your morality is strictly black and white, and utterly centric around your grasp of morality with absolutely no admission about even the possibility that another moral standard may exist or be worth contemplating. Get off your moral high horse, then try again.

Anyway, I don't see what the point of even arguing with Linus is anymore. When he knows he is wrong, such as many examples in this here thread, he just drags it out into semantics such as what a catalyst means, what "of sorts" entails, and what a refute is. 

Its not really about getting to a truthful answer, its about "winning the debate" with him.

After reading through this thread I was laughing out loud reading his posts. He is the kind of person Steven Colbert is mocking.

Dont you even think about comparing the American Revolutionist to the Inusrgants in Iraq. They are rebels on totally different plains with totally different objective.

I am not aware of any time an American revolutionary or group of them, killing innocent people to prove a point. Not aware of any story where the revolutionaries kill innocent people over military targets.

Revolutionaries used guerrila tactics. That is the ONLY similarity between them and the terrorist in Iraq now.

i wouldn't necessarily call the insurgents scared wimps because they're hiding among innocents... i think it's smart.  think about it... they're out-skilled, out-gunned... i wouldn't be prancing with a big sign on me that said i was an insurgent either.  i'd hide... conceal myself... and when i had a chance launch an ambush... their mentality is that even if they kill one of us before they die... it's worth it. 

they're not dumb scared wimps.... i honestly think 9/11 was brilliant...


Posted By: Linus

Tacticually, I agree. Same with the blitzkreig from Germany. And Pearl Harbor from Japan. Those 3 things were brilliant, tactically.

But that doesnt me I condone them in any way. They had smart military leaders that just followed what the main man said, doing something inumane and wrong.


But, to justify what the terrorist are doing (thats what they are, terrorist), is dumb.

To condone them hiding as civilians, and getting civilians killed, and KILLING civilians, is wrong.

When the revolution happened, you can argue that the revolutiaries hid among the civilian population, sure. But they never used the civilians as human shields. They never killed the civilians to prove a point.

They targeted military targets only. British ships, British troops, etc etc. It was never really a "Total War", unlike what the insurgants are trying right now in Iraq.

Noone's 'condoning' what they did, Linus, but as I tried to beat into you over and over and over in our PM session the otehr day, they operate on an utterly different moral and ethical frequency as us. You cannot judge a people based on a set of morals they do not subscribe to. You may initiate legal proceedings, or hunt them down based on the principle of enforcing your morality, sure- but so long as they subscribe to different moral standards there will always be conflict, and *that* is the crux of the problem. The issue isn't that the insurgents refuse to fall in line; they simply see a different line from you or I. They have their own moral inhibitions; simply that very few if any of them have an impact in the nature of the fighting.

You see this as a war of two armed forces, when it's not. This is much worse- a war of culture. Islam and Christianity have been in a cold war for hundreds if not thousands of years, and Iraq is simply a brushfire where that conflict has once again turned bloody. Iraq is merely a microcosm for a larger world situation that I fear will boil into more widespread violence in the enxt twenty years. Wherever Islam fuels radicals (and yes, those who would wilfully kill us are few in number, but it doesn't take many), there will inevitably be violence, as they honestly feel it is justified.

A guy who walks into a cafe with a jacket made of Semtex and screams 'Allah akbar' as he blows up a bunch of tourists doesn't think he's doing anything wrong- he's about to do Allah's work, and they genuinely, honestly in their hearts see it that way. That's how bloody frightening this is; these people are zealots of the worst order who literally do not see andy moral value in their own lives or those of others.

It doesn't matter if they're 'wrong' or 'misguided', because only we believe that. This is the nature of the war. They will keep fighting so long as we give them the opportunity. There will always be some of them who cannot be scared into submission.

Why are a bunch of tourist made of Semtex?   


Anyway, I know its a war of 2 different cultures. It's a war of 2 different era's, one born of the medevil ages, and one born of the 21st century.

You say it's wrong to judge what they do by our standard, and it isnt.

If we were to judge them by their standards, then that would be condoing killing inncoent people, and thats wrong.

I know their morals are different then ours, but that doesnt mean we have to accept them, or even try to understand them. Wrong is wrong.

Blech. I was rearranging a few chunks of that and missed that. Now fixed; thanks. Though tourists made of semtex could be FUN.

See, Linus, I know what you're saying, and in your alst statement there's only one - critical - mistake that you made.

No, you don't have to accept their morals- but it is ESSENTIAL that you make an effor tot understand them. Willful ignorance I cannot abide; both parties must make an effort to at least understannd the other, for upon that basis amity CAN be built with time. In not making yourself part of the solution in that regard, you're part of the problem.

I'm a serving member of my country's armed forces. I'm perfectly willing to go to Afghansitan if needed, and cap anyone who tries to mess with myself or my buddies or my allies- but I will NOT generalize culturally. Nor will I allow myself to be blinded by cultural blinkers. I recognize that everything we do in these peoples' home countries we must do to try to help them, and help them in a way they recognize and appreciate. Ultimately these people must have the final say in what happens to their country; we'll be there ten, fifteen eyars, but they're there forever.

Kill the insurgents; absolutely- if they take up arms against our troops or their own people, they must be recognized and engaged as a tactical threat. However, if the larger poltiical context is not handled in a manner designed to reduce the CULTURAL conflict, we won't get anywhere.

The U.S. WILL NOT have its way entirely in Iraq. Once the U.S. pulls out it's goign to find some things reverting back to how they were before, perhaps violently. Those compromises must be made now, so at least the American egress form Iraq can be accomplished peacefully. A balance has to be found that allows them the maximum cultural freedom while still enshrining the most important of the values we hold. We're not going to get everything we want though, and no amount of killing will guarantee that.

Here's where you get me wrong-

I dont generalize about Arabs, I dont generalize about Muslims, I dont generalize about Cadiens.

I generalize about the insurgants becuase its not wrong to do so.

The majority of them are the same, so it's not a stereotype to say what they do happens the majority of the time.

The majority of them want Americans dead. The majority of them kill innocent people. The majority of them are fine with killing innocent people, and advocate it. The majority of them want some form of Saddams old government back.

Now, there are exceptions, like always.

There are some militias whos primary job is to kill other militias. There are militias who do what they can to help the US and the interim Iraqi government.

There are even militias who recognize the difference between civilian targets and US targets. They will attack the US, but not civilians.

There are many different types of insurgant groups, but the ones that think it's ok, or at least not bad, to kill civilians are WRONG, no matter what stance you have.

They claim they fight for Islam, but the majority of Islam is peaceful and condems these actions. The majority of Islam is rationial.

But every group, every religion, has it's freaks and idiots.
