well those are isolated cases. ppl tend to magnify some things. and those who do that are brought to justice. its a highly disciplined and organized army.

regarding US "poke its fingers", let me ask you, if you see human rights abuses happening anywhere, will you just stand and watch?

Lol...then why do we have dummy UN :p
And beside that I have never seen US taking interest in our salvation :D Why don't send in some troops to Pakistan and get the scum cleared up. Why Pakistan get an upperhand everytime it runs to mummy RIce :/

You know they don't do things for free, they got paid for what they did.

agree with T.

@nix -- mate lifes not a fairytale...nobody goes on to help others unless there is no profit..

India apparently prepared for air strikes... and soon enough mummy(Condy Rice) comes out to save her kids (pakis)... why ?? cos its through pak that all the supplies reach to the US forces in Afghanistan ..if India attacks pak and pak shuts down all the routes to Afghanistan, then US is fcked up !!

Hope he's released. By the way, the US pokes it's nose only where there's oil, else they would have ousted Robert Mugabe long back.

US is not in iraq for oil. they have not taken any oil. there is no reliable news source that says US stole iraqi oil. they disarmed a dangerous man, they installed democracy, the country is becoming stable and terrorists are being controlled. the US will leave behind a safer, stabler iraq.

you cant expect US to do everything.. we gotta take some responsibility too. and its not easy to overthrow a govt, unless military force is used, which they dont want to. they are imposing sanctions. they are taking steps.. but again, we gotta contribute too.

we gotta save our own a**. we put ourself in this position with pakistan. from the time we got independence, we have always been submissive. we let them have nukes... our biggest blunder.

india and china were almost equal, then they got ahead. look now, US wont mess with them. so ultimately we have only ourself to blame

US attacked Iraq under the pretext of Iraq having Weapons of Mass Destruction but in reality. wanted to oust Hussien (as US has already had bad relations with the Middle East) and of course, oil.

It's all about OIL. They left Saddam in place after the Gulf War to have a balance with Iran, and could not break him with sanctions and everything else, so this was their next logical step.

Shoe thrower 'beaten in custody' :
*news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7785338.stm
Dargham al-Zaidi told the BBC that his brother deliberately bought Iraqi-made shoes, which were dark brown with laces. They were bought from a shop on al-Khyam street, a well-known shopping street in central Baghdad.

it was an intelligence failure. why would they simply want to oust hussain? its for a reason-(human rights+WMD). its not about oil.. you guys dont buy arab propaganda. if they really controlled iraqi oil, oil prices would not go skyrocketing and US would not think of offshore drilling in their country. why dont you understand that?. oil is mainly controlled by arab countries. they have too much money and they dont know how to spend it thats why they make huge articifical islands and all kinds of towers.
US did not go to war for oil.. let that be clear.

They want oil at cheap prices from "friendly" regimes. Because of the oil for food program and all the sanctions, the full potential of Iraqi oil production could not be realised.

@ nucleuscore: i didnt get your post. can you be more specific.. i didnt quite understand what you meant.

is it not much better to give up oil for civil rights?. whats the use of all the oil in the world when you're ruled by a dictator?.

you make a choice, rights or oil..

 Iraqi shoe-thrower 'apologises'
*news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7790318.stm

Shoes at the centre of the incident had been destroyed by US and Iraqi security agents when they were checked for explosives.

His employers, the Cairo-based al-Baghdadiya TV channel, called for their journalist to be freed, saying he had simply been exercising his freedom of expression - something the Americans promised Iraqis when they ousted former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

man consumed by paperwork.. what was that for??

and coming to the shoe thrower- bush did not tell the iraqi police to arrest him. he actually asked for the shoe-thrower's release.

the US fulfilled the promise of giving iraqis the freedom of speech/expression: case in point--shoe-thrower.
