Maybe the troops(if they are US troops) were going to save some innocents going to be massacred yet again.
Quote:
Or is your point that the Americans should get out and let the Iraqis kill each other in greater
numbers? That we should get out of the way so they dont hate 'us' and hate each other
instead?
Quote:
Looks like the Iraqis(including the frail grandmother) are worse off in the latter case.
Quote:
So is it the Iraqis that you are really worried about or is there another axe you are grinding?

Not sure about this "we". The video was from some middle east country. Driving on the right side.

Yea, sure, I am worried about them. Shouldnt you be also? They are human like us.
I would worry about any one being trampled on like this, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu..anyone.

Not sure what you meant about the axe part?

I am surprised that you do not see a time tested text book style divide and rule being played on those people.

Not sure what exactly is the "anti west propoganda" here.... when I objected to the arrogant driving, blatant disrespect for others in an occupied country. Just because we have the big shielded trucks and the balls to do it from behind it. Either we need some driving lessons badly here or some culture refinment.
I live in the West .. either, I must be a moron to spin out "anti west propoganda" or the person who percieves it as such is one.
Do not mix up things if you really have another point to make start a new thread. Dont hijack this one. This thread was to highlight an example of our arrogance and disregard for other cultures.
BTW, dosnt your heart go out to those poor Iraqi families in their cars? (specially the frail old grandmother)..? What if it was your little baby girl in the back seat? or imagine if its your frail old grandmother and you got bumped around like that....? Is your point that it is ok to do what you see in the video? does that achieve anything except hatred towards us.
Take a tip, You always have to put your self in the place of the oppressed and see how it feels. Try that for a change.
Call me dumb ... but I still dont get the axe part...?

..The my question is "why are we there?"
If its so dangerous that the only way you can drive safe is to drive by pushing every one out of your way? Then why be there in the first place?
This is like buying yourself a headache on a perfectly fine morning.
We cant even step out of the green zone without armour then what are we doing there?
Id say, Just "support our troops" and bring them back home safe and sound.
