So I suppose if I ordered someone you cared about murdered you'd go and kill a person at random and justify it by saying I ordered the death of the person you knew? Good logic there! I think I'll use it from now on. Next time I don't make enough sales in a day I'm gonna blame you. In fact from now on everything bad that happens to me I'm gonna blame you. Thanks I always wanted someone to place my misguided anger on.

What happened in that video can't be justified and placing the blame on anyone other than the people who were there is wrong. I can certainly understand the families? response but they are grieving and not thinking straight. Why was their son there in the middle of a war zone? Lots of people have decided to go over there and work because it pays well but at some point we have to stop and take responsibility for our actions. What makes someone say, "Gee it pays well I'll go get a job in one of the most volatile places in the world." He didn't deserve what happened to him it was wrong and disgusting but at some point he had to understand the dangers of being anywhere in Iraq.
My heart goes out to his family and friends.

In my anger over the abuse photos and other atrociities perpetrated by the US I forgot the human element. And was one of the people that said, "Well what the hell did you expect." I guess that is how it all starts, letting anger get the better of us.
I`m have no doubt that the last moments of this man`s life was filled with horror but at least his suffering has ended. I hope his family and loved ones are able to deal with this tragedy.
If there is such thing as a God I hope he/she/it looks comforts those touched by these events. Both Iraq and American
Many people are quick to point out that "war is hell" and scream "Get over it." Even more use this and any event to justify the actions of this conflict. I`m certain the Iraqis that did this action are making the same comments.
Perhaps the solution is not glass parking lots, torture, fences surrounding a country or beheadings. Maybe ithe solution is to not pointing a finger at each other and say "You started it." At some point perhaps we have to be adults and walk away from the conflict.
I still can be considered very anti american in my opinions. And I will continue believing the USA needs a serious cultural over haul. But I draw the line for my dislike far short of commiting crimes against humanity. Instead I`m very content to not cross the boarder and keep my personal and business dealings with non-Americans. We don`t have to like each other to get along and live peacefully.
To the best of my knowledge there is only one real warrior that existed in this world and that was Ghandi. Its a shame we don`t have people like him today. People that remain human by not giving into the anger and hatred and becoming identical to the monsters they must face.
Pain in the ass. |
