Well,
U seem very strong headed on to ur opinion, what kind of soldier were u in iraq?
Seriously if u defend ur countries politics so much, and specificlly about Iran
I wont argue with U, U belive in what u believe...
See, here is the problem with your end of this discussion: You read things where they were not said, and do not exist. What US policy, specifically, did I defend in my last post? I merely relayed some facts for which your opinions painfully fail to account.

And to u about conversations with iraqui ppl , some were friends, and some iranians,
close friends, so i tell u 1 thing, they live and have lived there more than u have ever made contact with them.... they revealed personnal stuff.. just to let u know...
And what source is better than this to get info, to understand them and their hearts desire..
What did u do? made contact with them with an m16 on ur hand ?
Iranians? Of course they would be entirely unbiased. I mean, it's not like their government has been calling the United States, "The Great Satan" for the past quarter century or anything, is it?
As far as Iraqis go, here's a story of my interaction with Iraqis. This is only one (egregious) incident of several that gave me insight on their motivations. I was an MP in Iraq (I was Infantry in Somalia - Infantry is better), so my job was primarily physical security, patrolling and convoy security. I was in the lead vehicle in a convoy travelling through Ramadi, and we ran into a traffic jam. I told my driver to go off road around the jam and see what the cause was. We got up there, and and saw there had been an accident. There was a small car with the side entirely crushed in, and the remnants of blue paint where it had been crushed.. Next to it, there was a large Blue 10 wheel truck. I was informed by the victim that he had been hit by an American truck and he demanded compensation. Given the evidence, what would you take away from that? From the insipid comments you have made in this discussion it sounds like you would say that Iraqis are warm and generous people. Pardon me if I don't share that assessment.
During my first six months in the country I was regularly in contact with Iraqis. The greeting I got from most Iraqis was not "Salaam Alakim," or "Hello," or "Good day." It was "Give me money." Again, I ask, how would this shape your perceptions?

And Iraq, like i said, i´m a woods ,nature person,, I like desert ,.and new enviroments, too me
all that is Gods creation..
but for u it was a hell hole , for sure , visiting the country with an uniform...
You aren't very bright, are you? How would the fact that I was wearing a uniform change the physical environment I detailed in my previous post? If you are a nature person, I strongly urge you to go to Iraq and spend some time communing with nature there. I hear it's nice in July.

U get to know the fool by the act, so be my guess and invade Iran, The lord have mercy on U and ur followers.....
I don't have any followers, as I do not present myself as a divinity or the representative of one. You on the other hand, with all of your knowledge of the Lord's opinions, seem to be in constant communication with God. I think I have seen some of your peers in Central Park. You should talk to them, I'm sure you would have some wonderful discussions.
In any case, consider this: If the US, UK, France, Russia and PRC AGREE on a course of action re: Iran, one might suspect that they consider Iran to be a legitimate threat. But what do I know; I don't get to talk to God about it like you do.

Words are cheap , its the action thats counts....
And the best action for Us its to go home, and reunite with their families...
And you base this opinion on what information? You say these things, yet you offer no facts to back them up. PLEASE tell me you are in posession of SOME small bit of factual information on the subjects you keep talking about!

I understand u hold high regard for ur brothers in arms.. and from experience i know
that the brotherhood can be strong in the military life... maybe u are from a military family?
I hold them in the HIGHEST regard actually, and I doubt anything in your experience would give you any insight on what I know on the subject.

If u want intervention u should stand for ur words , and be the the first man on the front
Did I say I WANT intervention? Actually, to be fair, I implied it...but that is only because I regard Iran to be a true threat on a scale far worst than Iraq ever was. I do not support military action lightly, because I do not consider the lives of my brothers lightly.
In any case. I have been in the army for 12 years and already seen combat in Somalia (A co., 2-14 IN, 10th MTN - experience included, but was not limited to, action in Mogadishu on 3 OCT 1993), and 16 months in Iraq (April '03 - Aug '04 - Al Anbar Province, including time in Fallujah and Ramadi). You imply that I don't have the stomach for combat, but I believe my record speaks for itself. Would you care to share yours?

And it turns out to be that the 1 guy, was right
WHo do u think God was with ?
God does not like what US is doing , neither he is with the fanatic terrorists....
One would hope that the one guy would be in posession of some FACTS on the subject. Ask God for some.
