Arabs get a steady daily diet of this crap. How much longer are we going to send them foreign aid?

Over 650,000 civilians have lost their lives in Iraq since the invasion,

And nearly all of the actual "civilians" (as opposed to enemy combatants) were killed in suicide bombings by MUSLIM TERRORISTS that Arab News can't seem to condemn.

The 650,000 number isn’t even remotely correct. This fake number has been already repeatedly debunked. Don’t even give it the slightest credit.

650,000 is probably overstated by at least 10:1.

“How much longer are we going to send them foreign aid?”

I’d rather send them aid instead of allow them to immigrate. Sending aid to people who hate us started right after WWII.

“An equally gruesome incident happened this month but hardly a line appeared in our newspapers”

Sounds like this is a US publication.

And it is NOT “equally gruesome”. One man mugged for the camera and proudly murdered those students. Was there forethought in the airstrike? Yes. Where the victims the intended targets? No. Were they equal in number? No. Were they told: “Hello, I’m going to KILL YOU!”? No. Were their exits barred prior to attack? No.

Beheadings and suicide bombers who target school children DO have forethought and I can assure you that the Arab News isn’t wringing their hands over them.

Pure antiAmerican drivel.

Theres are two things wrong with the 650k deaths in Iraq. 1) The number is wrong 2) they blame the US, instead of the terrorists that are doing the killing. Its very warp thinking.

This incident WAS reported on national news and on the internet. These people have a lot of nerve spouting off about this when they should be horrified at their people who massacre their own on a daily basis, women and children included. Why the hell we’re still sending them money is beyond me. I wish I could earmark all my tax dollars for our troops and their families.

What of the “civillians”? ‘Civilians’ who wage war? The KKK were “civilian” too when they terrorized the south in the 100 years after the Civil War (lynchings, bombings, and the like seem to have died down significantly since the 1960s).

A dead civilian does not mean someone innocent. It also does not mean we killed him/her. The “civilian” insurgents also get to add their kills to the “Bush’s fault” civilian dead tally.

The media is doing the work of Goebbels and Stalin.

Muslims are prohibited from criticizing other muslims. Therefore it must be the kufir’s fault.

Seven children aged between 4 and 12 were brutally killed by bombs unleashed by a US-led airstrike against a compound in the remote region of eastern Afghanistan just a few days ago.

Had we known that the 4 to 12 year old human shields were there, we might have targeted differently. Then those seven kids could have grown up to try to kill us as well.

Dear Arab News:

I would like to comment on this part of your article:

>>..seeking to deflect attention from US or Israeli brutality in Iraq or Palestine and blaming “terrorists” or “Al-Qaeda” for all regional ills. Notice how every ill has its root in “Al-Qaeda” today!<<

Here in my house, in my neighbourhood, in my country, we can’t be bothered keeping track of your various a@@clown gang names, so they are all just AQ to us. I don’t care if that offends the Allah’s Mighty Goatlover Brigade of Mohammed or whatever, you are all insane anyway.

The “ills” in your region are not because of the U.S. or Israel, it is because you are Muslims, and as I say, you are all insane. You worship death and you hate life. You cannot ever know peace because you cannot live and let live.
Stay in your own cesspit countries and don’t try to come here. I am a woman who owns a gun and does not want to be wrapped in a shroud. I also have, and intend to keep, all my happy parts. Go pound sand, you worthless excuses for men.

Kind regards,
ishabibble

650,000 civilians.

How did they all die? Where are the bodies?

The implication is that Americans killed them, but the proof is nowhere to be produced.

>>>I’d rather send them aid instead of allow them to immigrate.<<<

The people we sent aid to after WWII were totally vanquished! They had given up the fight.

In the current situation there is no compelling moral or ethical reason to send aid while their intent is still to kill us.

Aid should only be doled out for promises of assistance to our aims as a nation and/or actual assistance. It should be cut off at the first hint of duplicity.

Aid to those in dire straights because of flood or famine is justified but should be limited to getting the affected back on their feet and productive in sloving their own problems.

Aid because we feel sorry for the plight of those that refuse to help themselves is foolhardy and unrewarding.

Why should America give aid to those countries that vote against it in the UN? Many of these nations should learn that they not bite the hand that feeds them. You never give aid to an enemy because you do not want their children to kill your children in the future.

And when Khalid Farouqi, a member of Parliament from Paktika, angry at the actions of the US forces and claiming that apologies were no longer adequate, stated that, “Nobody can accept the killing of women and children. It is not acceptable in either Islam or international law,” there wasn’t any significant press coverage.

Maybe they were all laughing too hard to type.

Well, it HAS to be true! Rosie O'Donnell said so on The View, and Barbara Walters, legendary newswoman, didn't contradict her. Barbara wouldn't risk her reputation as a legitimate journalist just to appease Rosie, would she? </sarcasm>

What part of “This is a war. Stuff is gonna get blown up and destroyed. Occasionally there’s gonna be “residual” damage. This may include civilians,” don’t the Arabs understand?
