    And I am sure they can slap you with a hefty bill? Most likely, yes.However,Most of the time people don't pay it.Can the hospital do anything about it ? Nope.Even if they come in next week.They still have to treat the person.

    I disagree on how they do it.Screaming for help,and troops coming to your aid,then blowing yourself up.That's kinda wrong.If they seen troops and sped off to them to blow them and yourself ,ok, i can understand that.I can't stand people asking for help and then killed themself and people trying to help them.Their taking the goodwill of the soldiers and costing them their lifes.

    A woman, who appeared to be pregnant, got out of the car and began "screaming in fear" at the checkpoint, about 11 miles (18 km) southwest of the Hadithah Dam in Iraq, a Central Command statement said. Three coalition troops walked toward the car and it blew up, U.S. Central Command spokesman Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks said, citing initial reports. Man that's pretty screwed up.Sad,Thing about this is when someone really needs help their(coalition troops ) going think twice about it. http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/04/04/sprj.irq.car.bomb/index.html

    Tovarish , I agree US did setup some puppet goverments.However those were in the communist years.When everyone was scared of a communist.Atlleast give me something recent.Like 1990 until now. I agree on NK.However though,where is russia and china ? That is their puppet gov't they added in the world.Atleast america is taking care of saddam,If like you said is american made puppet guy.

    Attacking nations without UN's permission for one. And the fact that Bush has managed to make the US one of the most dispised and disrespected western nations in the world community. People used to look favorably on America. But there are not many people around any more with that opinion. I agree with that.Maybe we should have waited a year for the UN to decide what to do.If the us waited a year,and there was some countries that didn't support a war with iraq.Plus there was proof iraq was still hiding stuff.Would you then say the US tried ? Or would you just be saying they should have got the UN permission? But some of it is envy.Also because we bomb alot of people.Face it though,america is the world police man.Who made us that way ? I don't know.But if there's an war issue,they always come to us first.No one like cops until it helps them.They don't like speeding tickets because it hurts them.But when they need help their be calling 911(america) .

    The Iraq Thread

    I am against doing it without the permition of the UN. I am against it being done with the US at the helm, since I fear there are ulterior interests. I agree we should have got UN permission.But i believe some countries would have never support a war on iraq no matter what.The US(some europe countries also) has always step up to the plate for the UN.I mean we never seen russia/china step up to the plate.That's not a knock on them or anything. I am against what the American foreign policy has turned in to. Can you tell me ? Civilian casualties It's too late,it's been happening for 12 years,or 20 something years.Up to you to pick. Destruction of Iraq I believe the US/UN would rebuild it for the heart and minds of the muslim culture.So there won't be terrorist. Increased world-wide terrorism I agree there will be alot of new terrorist because of this war.But what about what bin laden said about 2 million iraqi children died of sanctions.Wouldn't that also create terrorist ?So it's already happening before the war started. It's illegal we can argue all day about is it illegal are not.I agree we should have try harder to do something in the UN though. Sets a bad example for future conflicts I agree.

Depends.If my gov't was saddam,yes i would.There would be no reason to fight for someone that is going die in a year time.Plus if i hated saddam,and knew he was never going leave or voted out,and his sons would take over after he died of old age,yes i would really surrender then.I think these people are blind though.We should be dropping the truth.About how the us/brits/other countries (allies) in the first gulf war went in to kuwait and kick saddam soldiers out.Then gave it back to the kuwaiti gov't.With really no special treatment ask from them.Except a military base in the area.Which gives them defense. The only reason they didnt bomb for a month was because they thought the Iraqis would surrender and be happy when "liberated". This obviously was not the case. As stated many times, most of the Iraqis hate Saddam. But they hate being invaded even more. And I can't blaim them. Atleast the US gave them a chance to surrender.Even though they didn't want to.But i guess you can't give props to the US for that ?

I that case I support both US and Iraqi troops since I realize that their are soldiers who have families and are doing their job. It's an extreme overtrivialization of the issue.

Or are you giving your support by demonstrating agianst the war with the hope of saving the lives of the troops?

    I'm on Cable.But speed doesn't matter.If it did i think japan would be number 1,i heard everyone over there has cable modems. I don't think the war should be going on,i believe they should have waited for next year.But see how it is,i rather us soldiers win it.War is fought with bullets,you know this. If us soldiers aren't winning it ,their dying. So i support the troops.

Yeah, it also happens to be the easiest, least risky way of doing it. From your home, in front of the TV with a case of beer and a Big Mac, watching CNN's latest soap "Showdown Iraq" while chanting... - Go USA, I support our troops!! I reckon Hipp Hipp could make a lovely and humerous clip about that... (Hipp Hipp = A swedish comedy show)<span id='postcolor'> That's it.I hate how you damn euros stereotype us americans.We all hate mcdonalds.So it wouldn't be a damn big mac.It would probably be a taco or something.Only reason mcdonalds is still alive in the US is because of little kids,i haven't ate there in like a year or 2.Also there is another stereo type thing you said in your post.CNN,do you think we watch all watch CNN ? Atleast on my tv we have Foxnews,cnn,msnbc,bbc,international news channel(which has french,brits,german,japan,chinese,other other  news).Would you like it if i stereotype you as little wimps,and never show any force and always have to call in the americans to get you guys outta a jam. What's wrong with supporting the troops anyways ? Is it better to support the iraqi one then the american ones ? --edit also we do have the internet,So we can get more coverage then most europeans can.Why ? Because there are like 60% of americans are connected to the internet.Plus there are public places that has free internet use.

USA did that, not Iraq. Any amateur can see that the damage at the market could not have been caused by a SAM. I feel silly for having to explain this since this is really basic stuff. Anti aircraft missiles don't have significant explosive warheads - they have a fragmentation warheads. They don't make large holes - they spray the area with shrapnel. In that market place, a significant part of the building was destroyed. There was a large crater. There were very little or no signs of shrapnel damage. This the most obvious proof, anybody who has seen the effects on buildings of a fragmentation warhead knows what I'm talking about. There is no way in hell that it was a SAM that misfired. It was a cruise missile alright. The damage shows that. It's a damn shame that reporters are so militarily illiterate. The Pentagon insinuations that it might have been a SAM could have been easily dismissed directly when the first reports came in.<span id='postcolor'> Do you have a picture of it ?

    Last war there wasn't any rumors he was dead or injured was there ? When the war started they was rumor that one iraqi general guy left.But he had to get on tv to say he hasn't.Now why hasn't saddam did the samething ? Don't say those 2 tapes are proof that is alive though.

    Do you think saddam is dead/injured ? I'm starting to think so.Wouldn't he pose with the POW's to show them he 's not dead/injured.

We don't know if they want the america system or not .Your problem is your thinking too much,keep it simple.America(or something close to it) way is the best way.Why you think (western)europe and america,japan,south korea,etc etc is soo far ahead in their own region ? err wait.

    ............ casualties Function:noun Inflected Form:plural -ties Date:15th century 3 a : a military person lost through death, wounds, injury, sickness, internment, or capture or through being missing in action  So it doesn't just mean death.Now is DOD covering on the injury/wounded soldiers ? I believe so.
