6. My God.-- that is chilling........
This should be played before every single feature movie and on TV.

And folks like bill moyers should do a special on independent speech pieces that speak to the gravity of reality in Iraq.

We are barbarians........

that Shrub and Co should be not only impeached but also tried for war crimes!

12. Who is this "we" you speak of?
The US government, going back to at least the mid-1800's and earlier, has engaged in unsavoury, disreputable, criminal, evil, inhumane, and generally unpleasant behaviour of various sorts. However, the government is NOT the people, nor is it the country. The government is not "we". I rather take offence at the use of "we" in this context, in fact.

20. You better believe that people living in other countries see Americans...
...as a monolithic block that thinks alike and acts alike. And the stronger and more vivid the act, the stronger that perception becomes.

Resent it all you like, but how any of us think or believe has no impact on the perceptions of people living outside the U.S.

22. Anyone who sees all people of ANY country...
whether America or any other, as a monolithic bloc that all thinks, acts, etc, identically, is a bloody imbecile who is totally undeserving of consideration anyway, since even the slightest experience of the world ought to give anyone the idea that such is not the case.

24. Our soldiers committing rape on 9 year old?
That not so transparent innuendo was enough for me to decide that this link is crap, total fricking anti-American crap.

26. Let's go over this again
I'm afraid you missed the point by about a mile-and-a-half. There was no innuendo that US soldiers committed rape on a 9-year old. What the animation was saying is that, according to the Geneva Convention, the occupying power is responsible for keeping the occupied country/territory safe from such acts as rape, murder, or other lawlessness. Although you may not read of such atrocities if you use Fox News as your source of "information", they are well-documented. It happens every day. Crime is rampant and the US is not doing much of anything to stop it.

I hope that this clarification has allowed you to reconsider, so that you may educate yourself and begin to base your conclusions on verifiable facts and not base them solely on incorrect assumptions. This is one of the traits that separate us from the Neanderthal side.

Thank you.

28. I'll look at it again..
Edited on Fri Nov-14-03 10:09 AM by fjc
but that slide goes by pretty fast and can easily be taken for the suggestion I got.

And, you may be right when you say what separates us from the Neandrathal side, but what doesn't apparently separate us is the use of snide condescension.

33. the girl said "gangsters"
made her afraid to sleep at night becasue she was afraid they would come again to kill her.


although BushCo and associates are indeed "gangsters, I don't think she was actually referring to Americans. Without a police authority in Iraq, armed street gangs have taken over the neighborhoods. They threaten the Iraqi people and our troops--but all our boys can do is bomb the neighborhoods. They have no training as police.

29. NBC News last night showed troops manhandling a woman

with a terrified little boy wanting to defend his Mom, but being
jerked away. It was sickening. The troops are so frustrated themselves
and so angry that their anger explodes without warning.

Does Bush's twisted "vision", and the role he plays in these
attrocities really not occur to him when he goes to Church every
Sunday? What a f---ing hypocrite! A dangerous and horrible President,
and a pathetic and delusional human being.

31. Send this tape to Oprah Winfrey. She is a caring human being

with a HUGE audience of women and mothers of soldiers--who have to
be thinking about what these soldiers are going to be like when
they come home--after participating in these horrors.

32. That supports the impression I got from the video..
that it's American troops who have become the source of terror for Iraqi's.

30. Powerful! Would love all to see, but marketing 101 know your audience
The flag waving, support our troops,this is war for godsakes, group of folks that take the info from the likes of Faux will have a gut reaction against the messenger and overlook get the gist of the message.
Let's watch the gut reactions to this post, such as reply 24. I am not singling you out fjc and I truly appreciate you posting your first reaction to this clip.
That said, I love that site! The man is a genius. I've posting links to some of his more light hearted fare in the past. The Rush Limbaugh Nazi flick and Idiot Son of an Asshole (warning, that song will get stuck in your head!)
Anyway, here is a link to another great flick that they are trying to get on TV. It's directed more toward the "Support Our Troops" folks.
