Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone -
"Now blowing people up at funeral processing and churches is certainly a local thing for Iraq - something like this is unlikely to have happened in resistance in Western countries, but that's just the way things are fecked up in the East - another reason not to go there."
Interesting that this blot in your argument (that many more innocent Iraqis are being killed by insurgents than allied soldiers or traitors) is clumsily brushed aside into a completely irrelevant "good reasons for not going to the Middle East" aside !!!!!Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

And also let me ask how many civilians were killed by the US troops? Conviniently they have policy not to count them, but I am sure as hell they do accurate counts every time a bomb goes off, strange thing is not it?
The blood of innocents in Iraq are on the hands of those who supported this war.Comment

Originally posted by AtWDodgy, were they blown up 3 years ago when Saddam was in power? If anything its your point of view that's responsible for deaths of innocents.

Originally posted by DodgyAgentYou appear to be justifying the actions of "insurgents" without explaining whether or not they have any popular support.
Originally posted by DodgyAgentBy your own argument the 2nd world war was unjustified by virtue of the fact that thousands of civilians were killed by allied forces whilst attacking Germany.
Iraq is different situation - while Gulf War 1 was justified as it was Iraq who attacked first, the 2nd war is clearly not justified - Iraq did not attack this time, in fact, over years it was under regular attacks by USA/UK airplanes that patrolled its own air-space!
I'd rather see USA investing $400 bln it wasted on this pointless war into cancer research that kills millions of Americans.Comment

Originally posted by AtWIt is matter of fact - without popular support insurgency against powerful occupier will not last long, right now it is a matter of fact that Iraqie insurgents do better than 2 years ago, thus they have support of population - not all of it, which is not uncommon in history - during occupation of USSR not all nations that made up USSR supported local resistance.
It was Germany that started the war, thus any civilian casualties that were result of allied invasion were justified as the war had to be ended - and it did end.

Originally posted by AtWOf course UK declared war on Germany - this does not mean Germany did not start it by attacking ally with whom UK had treaty! By attacking Poland (and actually Chechoslovakia in the first place) Germany effectively attacked UK and France who had written obligations to its allies.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

Originally posted by DodgyAgentSo the justification for killing thousands of civilians is simply nothing more than a politicians signature on a piece of paper? One could argue that signing such a treaty in the first place was an act of aggression in itself.Comment
