So the option would have been (for the people who make policy) . . . don't kick Sadddumb out of Iraq . . . because an outlaw group like al Qaeda MIGHT take advantage of the chaos, embed itself and start terrorist actions? Yet to not kick Soddumb out would guarantee Sodbumb continuing to kill thousands of his own people. Hummmmmm . . . . the logic behind that escapes me. Of course Adam has a right to his opinion. The great thing about America is that everyone has the right to be right as they can be or wrong as they can be! - Doug Johnson Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:53:41 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/bless-the-beasts-and-children-part-1.htm#comment-18755 Unbelievable. Is this incident small scale compared the Stalin-Pol Pot- Hitler genocides? Sure, but does that really matter? How many civilians have died as a result of this war, both at the hands of al Qaeda and the US-led forces, and to what benefit? Iraq is now supposedly a legitimate democratic nation, and the atrocities that Saddam committed are finally done and gone. That is something to truly take pride in, and I know that there are Iraqi's who are deeply grateful for what has been done. What bothers me is the broader institution of war, and its effects on innocents and soldiers. That being said, God bless the soldiers who preserve our way of life. A day when armies are obsolete would be amazing... and a pipe dream. - Jesse Thu, 23 Apr 2009 07:19:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/bless-the-beasts-and-children-part-1.htm#comment-18737 Saddam Hussein murdered many of his people and kept extensive records of all sinister accounts during his regime. His tactics have been compared to those of Adolf Hitler during his ethnic cleansing of europe during WW2. Any terrorism is wrong. Any violence is wrong even in retribution.. that was the point of my original comment. Beheadings happen and are happening more frequently because of the US occupation in Iraq. This is knowledge which I have ascertained previously before your "enlightening" post, and does not change my distaste for the war in Iraq. Judging by your attitude toward my post you must be in the military or else you wouldn't be telling me what to do, how to do it, and which way it should be done. I can assist my country in retaining its values, freedoms, and prosperity through various means not just by signing my blood and bones over to the government. And as far as "bitching" on the internet.. suffice it to say.. you had just completed that objective by finishing the sentence itself. - Adam Tue, 21 Apr 2009 18:12:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/bless-the-beasts-and-children-part-1.htm#comment-18648 no coments - usman munawar Sat, 11 Apr 2009 20:50:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/bless-the-beasts-and-children-part-1.htm#comment-17134 Adam, perhaps you forget that Hussein had murdered by torture and chemical weapons 400,000 of his own people during the 1990's. So a little terrorism is okay? WTF is wrong with you. When you know someone who has their head chopped off, you may adjust your views. Why don't you go over and help or do something - ANYTHING - other than live your free peaceful life (which was provided to you by the men and women of the USA) bitching on the internet. - Matt Burkett Wed, 04 Feb 2009 07:44:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/bless-the-beasts-and-children-part-1.htm#comment-17000 Thanks for all you do. I was disgusted to hear about Michael Moore and his use of your picture of the American soldier holding the child wounded by one of the IED's that the Iquada ( my name for them is nazi islamic folks) had planted. I am a veteran and have children who are in the military and I know that in civilian life as in military training our soldiers are not taught to harm women and children. Michael Moore is a disgrace. I wish you well. Keep up the good work. Reporting the truth is going to become harder and harder for you. May God keep you safe as well as the military personnel that you are with and all the American military where ever they may be fighting for Michael Moore's freedom to steal from your work. - maralyn cantrell haney Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:43:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/bless-the-beasts-and-children-part-1.htm#comment-16628 MICHAEL YOUR REPORTS AND PHOTOGRAPHY ARE OUTSTANDING -- YOU MORE THAN ANY OTHER REPORTER IN IRAQ HAVE TOLD US THE DOCUMENTED TRUTH WITH ELOQUENT DESCRIPTIVE WORDS AND EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHY -- THANK YOU FOR THE TRUTH THE CONTINUING TRUTH OVER THE MONTHS YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE ROUGHEST PARTS OF IRAQI OPERATIONS -- CHEERS TO YOU WITH OUR UNENDING GRATITUDE -- CHEERS TO YOU AND WHAT YOU DO AND HOW WELL & BRAVELY YOU DO IT - George B> BARRETT Mon, 05 Jan 2009 06:35:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/bless-the-beasts-and-children-part-1.htm#comment-16564 Thank you for what you are doing. You strike me as an honest man. Please tell the Troops that the People will never forget them ! - Elmo Jones Wed, 17 Dec 2008 21:34:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/bless-the-beasts-and-children-part-1.htm#comment-16426 I realy get tired of people being critical of the excelent work being done by our soldiers from the comfort of their computer chairs. Aside from the grafic reports from Michael I suuggest critics listen to JFK's inauguration speach. The greatest sin is apathy. - Scott Maniscalco Sat, 22 Nov 2008 00:57:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/bless-the-beasts-and-children-part-1.htm#comment-16417 I do not think that America should have ever went to Iraq and still feel the same way after reading this story. I also do not think that Al Qaeda would be in Iraq if we had never initiated military operations there. These injustices exist yet we should never turn a blind eye to their catalysts which would in turn justify them. - Adam Alire Fri, 21 Nov 2008 02:42:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/bless-the-beasts-and-children-part-1.htm#comment-16410 I pray to God that everyone in America who thinks we never should have went into Iraq could see this story. May God have mercy on those who turn a blind eye to this treachery. - Mark T. Rodgers Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:00:00 +0100
