pictures of saddam's sons dead.

I think that by bragging and showboating saddam's sons, the us is asking for another terrorist attack. God i'm so glad I live in Canada, almost to the point I feel like getting a huge canadian flag tattoo'd on my forhead.

True as well. This is like waving a red flag right in front of the face of a 600 pound bull.


And yes, God bless Canada!

Don't be angry simply because someone states the facts and lives in reality. Reading the pasts posts simply leads me to believe most of you are anti-American and just like to argue about trivialities. Maybe you should stick to your games and stay out of politics. If the Iraqi army wants to broadcast dead US soliders, that's their prerogitive and that's what dead soliders would look like. Showing the actual leaders, of the past regime, dead on video has more to say than showing dead Iraqi soliders (most of whom were forced to fight). By the way, have you ever seen the P.O.W. video of US troops? Ever hear of the Geneva convention (Aug 12, 1949)? Should the US play by the enemy's rules? As far as bragging and showboating, what the hell are you talking about? The bodies are simply evidence to assure the Iraqi people who is in charge. The Bush administration is a just one and there is no country called 'Terrorism'. Countries only habor them and terrorists like to hide. To say the US actions would be 'asking' for other attack? Another terrorist attack is eminent! To stand idling by and wait, for whatever excuse your looking for, is simply...dumb.

fftopic: nobodys arguing the fact that the iraqi regeime was a brutal and bad one.

The more the people of Iraq realize these guys arn't comming back is to strengthen the moral of the Iraqi people.

not arguing that either, why do we have to see it so much though? its all just propaganda shit. im sure bush is stoked that the (u.s) people are seeing this, so they say hmm, maybe we are doing something over there. cuz im sure he's been losing support lately. its like he's showing off his catch if you will, "ohhh look what i caught, every one look, come see....." its rediculous (at least to me) its disgusting, parading around a human body as if it were the catch of the day. like hiv said we were doing this how long ago...and were still doing it, yeah we've come along way.

So, was the showing of the video a double standard and hypocritical? Who cares?

exactly the kind of comment i would expect from someone who thinks The Bush administration is a just one sure

Feel free to believe what you wish. I love the American people, I have a lot of friends amongst them. But I hate the Bush administration for the lies and hypocrisy. If you're a Republican and pro-Bush, it's your own business, but accusing everyone that dares to critique the current American administration of being anti-American is just ignorance.

By the way, have you ever seen the P.O.W. video of US troops? Ever hear of the Geneva convention (Aug 12, 1949)? Should the US play by the enemy's rules?

As a matter of fact it's been partially mentioned in some of the above posts, and there was a long thread on this issue a while ago, on this same board. Now, did you see the POW videos of Iraqi POWs on American networks? I did, and en mass too. So where's your Geneva convention now? American POWs on TV is a violation of this convention, but Iraqi aren't. Great... Just FYI Iraq has accepted this convention as well, and therefore its soldiers SHOULD have been treated accordingly - but they weren't. So it's OK to show your enemies' dead and POWs, but American dead and POWs can't be shown? Seems like a case of double standards as usual.

The Bush administration is a just one and there is no country called 'Terrorism'. Countries only habor them and terrorists like to hide.

[sarcasm]Yes, the Bush administration is indeed a just one. Starting a war on unsupported by evidence claims is indeed the just and righteous thing to do.[/sarcasm]. Just so you know, this is a war against another country, not terrorism. It was a war of American military vs. Iraqi military. Uniforms against uniforms. But then again, it's nice being able to accuse everyone you don't like of being terrorists. Although I am STILL waiting to see ANY concrete information of Iraq supporting terrorists OR being involved in the 9/11 attack. Until I've seen it, this will remain a simple invasion having a goal of getting a new oil supplier instead of Saudi Arabia (which actually DID support terrorists, with more than enough evidence available - but wasn't invaded) in my eyes.

Furthermore, your president is either a liar (and unlike Clinton that lied to defend his honour, Bush lies even about national security matters) or simply can't read too good. Enjoy.

I do not feel sympathy with Saddam. But neither do I feel sympathy for double standards (as illustrated above). So it's OK to show dead Iraqi soldiers, Saddam's sons and so on, but dead American troops on TV is an "inhumane" act? Ye, ok, here we go into double standards again. And it's nice for you to be able to find an excuse... Other people have run out of excuses long ago.

Sure there are double standarts. Have you played Soldier of Fortune...

It amazed me that every citizen killed in the New York Subway was counted as a civilian casualty while old men and women in the Middle-East missions were not...
