i see bush's Americanization is coming in to place very well... 
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

i'm negative because it's a negative war, dude.
i am not going to celebrate the success of the invaders.
who the hell cares what your going to celebrate or not, the fact is the Iraqi peoples are celebrating the arrival of their "invaders". do you not see that it's obvious now that they want sadamn out?
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

the Iraqi people, who are finally being freed from a harsh, cruel dictator.
Geez, would you rather have had the coalition not invade, and Iraq nuke you?
Besides, it's pretty obvoius by the people cheering, and ripping down Saddam's statue that they are happy to have the help from us.
Give the good guys a bit of support.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

I can't believe the troops put up an American flag. AGAIN. How retarded can you fucking be?
I was watching the news earlier and as someone said - there's pretty much a mixed reaction. Some people are like going up to the soldiers and kissing them, but at the same time, some are worried now that the Americans are going to be governing them.

c'mon. of course they want saddam out. but they don't want YOU, either.
They're not getting US, they're getting a government that will be ruled by their people, for their people.

then who is going to oust sadamn? the people who last tried got found and killed after gulf war 1. the same reaction we got in bagdad is the same we got in Umm Quasar, and other cities. they don't want the US yet wave US flags and pictures of the US flag? does that make sense? then we have Iraqi leaders that fled Iraq going back in to set up some form of government, i'm sure the fact that Iraqi's want a government system is eating at you.

Well The U.S may be occupying Baghdad, but they do not have cruel intention in mind. Besides I thought being Freed from a Cruel Dictator is a cause for celorbration.
You remind me of a protester
Professional Canadian.
of course it is. i hate governments. all of them. i won't lie to you, the level of ignorance and sheep like quality of the greater populous of earth does eat at me.
in fact it keeps me up at night some times.
if you want to go on with your rose coloured glasses, thinking that every man woman & child in iraq is sooooo happy that this war was fought, well, fine. that only further proves my point about americans, and how happy they are to only believe the one side of the story that they like the best.
i am not denying that some iraqi's really believe that they are "free" now and that you're a good country and you've saved their ass. i'm just asking you to try to see the other side of the story.
