The American bastards

[...] Sugar, from Syria, links to a video featuring footage made by US soldiers in Iraq and comments: “Well, it’s not like it’s the first time we hear or see such videos about those American soldiers who they say are liberating Iraq and protecting America from terrorists. Instead….all what they did, is humiliating the Iraq people and especially little innocent children….I am really speechless….” Posted by Amira Al Hussaini Share This [...]

I haven’t watched the whole video, the first part is bad enough and made me feel ashamed so I just stopped watching. As an American I am embarrassed, ashamed of the behavior of these “boys”. They are like the idiots on the playground or the fraternity boys playing pranks at school, not realizing the damage done to another persons feelings. What jerks. Clueless. There are people in any society you would not want to know. Don’t judge all Americans by a few misguided ones. My personal apologies to all. If they had any sense, they would be teaching them to say “Praise to the great nation of Iraq”. Which it has been through much of history and will be again. Don’t let a few stupid people represent everyone, in any society.

Sugar, I am an American. These guys are disgusting and ignorant, and I am ashamed of them. But, let me ask you this: Should we also judge all Muslims and all Iraqis by the actions of a few? The person who so carefully edited these clips together is clearly on a propagandist mission with their own agenda. Perhaps you are, too. If so, then my question is wasted on you.

Jackson and Jeff, Thanks for your comments. You provide a valid and rational point of view. You can’t judge a whole nation, or religion or ethnicity by the actions of a few. Doing so is not only blatant ignorance, but also outright racism. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would think all Americans are terrible people because of what these soldiers did. Same goes for the other awful things which are a legacy of this war, Guantanamo, Abu Ghreb, Haditha, the “renditions”, torture …. the list goes on and on… instead what this grotesque list of tragic events reinforces, is the notion that the American people are as much the victims as us… victims of their own government’s and ruling establishment’s corrupt ideology and war mongering… the same ideology which amongst other things has repeatedly sought to paint the Arabs and Muslims with the all encompassing terrorism brush…. an instant racist classification…. if you’re a Muslim…. then you must be up to no good ……. out to blow up some white people…. you probably also beat up your seven wives at home, and drink camel urine for breakfast…..
But we’re not falling for that ourselves, Americans for the most part are good people. They are a hardworking generous nation with great values and ideals of freedom, civil liberties and human rights……a few rotten apples are not going to change that …

I know it hurts to see this and to be called bastards but this will not change the fact that these soldiers are doing what was shown on the video and NO one is doing anything against it….indeed not all Americans are like that…but these soldiers have a mission to do in Iraq which is according to president bush, is to liberate Iraq and implement democracy, which I doubt they are doing it for any kind of democracy, then why they get paid!?….….believe me I feel sorry for some of the soldiers who left their wives, children and family for going to Iraq….the death toll of us soldiers reached 4,000…I even doubt it if any of the Americans know anything about that….I really think you the American people should stand more against this war …what the Iraqi people have been through so far is enough!

DONT HAVE ANY WORDS. JUST TO ADD THEY R GETTING AND INSHALLAH WILL GET WHAT THEY DESERVE WHEN THEY DIE LIKE A DOG IN IRAQ OR AFGANISTAN.

As long as the world is divided into countries with different religions, there will continue to be arguments and fights as the leaders of the nations are in need of more power. It’s not surprising

I am an Australian and i fucken hate Americans down to a core. I recently worked in Afghanistan and to be honest the Afghans that i met were great people. The yanks that i worked with were just a bunch of gunho bastards who think bu liberating and bringing a country to democracy is to bomb it. I hope one days that some other country decides to invade America and see how they like it. America to me is just one big greedy dictacting country. VIVA IRAQ AND ALL OF ISLAM

People tend to forget that America and her Allies removed a tyrant of unimaginable cruelty and bloodlust, Saddam Hussein.
People are quick to point out the mistakes the Allies have made while been there, they say that the Allies have done more harm than good or that it’s for oil but did they ever stop and think about what Iraq was like before the fall of Hussein, did they ever take the time to find out what the people of Iraq were subjected to or were they all too busy at their anit-war rallies and protests, well I’ll tell you now, the day the second Gulf war started was the best thing to ever happen to the people of Iraq, it was the begging of the end of a reign of terror they had lived under for many a year and people can say all that what but the facts can’t be changed and the fact is that the country of Iraq has never been better, yeah there are gun fights in the streets and suicide bombers and many a women and child was killed during the war but better that then Hussein, a man who used chemical weapons on his own people and had well over a million arrested and killed simply because they did not belong to his religious group, a man that forced young boys to invade Kuwait and then ordered them to fight the American and the Allies, many Iraqi soldiers were conscripts and that means they are forced to fight, they have no choice.
The Horrors this man has done are too many for this page so look it up if you don’t believe me look it up and I promise you will be shocked at the evil this man did and to all the people here who cry out evil America well you better educate yourselves because America saved them from evil.
I’m Australian by the way so no I’m not “typical” flag waving, god loving redneck.

King Bill 33,
Well, excuse me and before talking about any kind of education, you better educate yourself first and stop reading or watching the crap your media offers to its people ….showing how they are saving the world.
Which Iraq are you talking about exactly, the Sunni, Shiite or Kurdi Iraq…..hundreds of people are being killed every day …..What kind of security you’re referring to
You’re talking about how Iraq was before at the time of Saddam….can you tell how Iraq is doing now….have you read about the recent demonstrations in Iraq, I believe the reason behind the war on Iraq is very obvious for everyone …..
Do you know that 99,712- 108,865 people were killed, and most of them are innocent Iraqi people … .
The USA admitted about the violations against the Iraqi people, for instance the immoral story of Abu- Ghraib prison…and many other violations that are still going on….
I am really sorry but I don’t have enough time to waste on someone who is ignorant about what is happening….
