Breaking news:

Why do these guys kill their own? I must've not recieved the memo that explained the pro-Saddam strategy.

Wow...*random fact*...more than 600 Iraqi police have been killed in the line of duty since we have occupied Iraq. I love it how our media doesn't report this stuff often.

Do they teach history in America at all???

Have you never read about how collaborators have been treated in all the wars that have been faught since man set foot on Earth?

If you help the enemy in any way you become a target, this should not come as a surprise to someone who has done some reading in the field of common sense and history.

Who said these civilians helped americans!?
These civilians were just passing through a security check

What.. because they weren't trying to blow up the safety zone, they're automatically assumed to be helping the 'bad guys'?!

I don't see how these civilians were "collaborating"

--edit-- re-read
They were just trying to get a job!
Sorry but not everybody can be a suicide bomber for a living


--- edit part deux ---
Oh yeah I forgot
Logic is not in these peoples vocabulary
Its just pathetic

vass0922 I was talking about the majority of the attacks. Not this one in particular, it could have gone off too early or missed it's target.

But on the whole my earlier post explains why civilians are killed by their own people sometmes. It should not come as a surprise to people who have so much information at their fingertips (internet).

I'm getting a little annoyed with naive questions I see so often in political threads.

Do they teach any in Austria?

"I'm getting a little annoyed with naive questions I see so often in political threads" I assume you are a political major, not everyone has the political knowledge that you project to have.If you feel they are that much below your knowledge level than don't read or reply to them.n Comments of this nature are what send a post from a discussion to degredating comments to other users and their comments.
