War and money
Insurgents this insurgents that. It's amazing how a word can become so recognized if used enough by the media. Insurgents is a single label the mass media uses for the "enemy" in Iraq and Afghanistan, but the reality is the enemy takes many different forms. The enemy could be a terrorist, so desperate or brainwashed that he is willing to blow himself up. It could be a coward remotely detonating a bomb killing dozens of civilians. It could be any one of the thousands of fanatic extremists interpretting the Koran as they see fit to quench their want for violence or revenge. More important than any of these, it could just be an ordinary Iraqi teenager who's parents were among the now around 100 000 innocent civilians lost to this injustice that they once called "liberation". We all know what this war is about, some of us deny it, some of us actually believe it necessary, some of us are awake. This war is being fought to feed the war machine: the defence contractors who have made billions out of this war, the vice president being an ex-CEO of one of the largest; and the companies who will make billions out of the favourable trade agreements concerning Iraq's oil, if the country ever becomes stabilized enough for the US to install a puppet leader. It has been this way for decades all over the world; Allende, Arbenz, Lumumba, Manley and even an earlier stint at US "foreign policy" in the middle east, with Mossadegh. It's a cycle that repeats itself over and over while the world either forgets or is simply too complacent, or ignorant to care. Let us all watch now, as history repeats itself without any lessons or even compassion learned, because money rules, and nothing makes more money than war.

You are so deluded. I'm sorry you don't understand that this war is about freeing a society first from a cruel, murderous, and oppressive regime, and now from a wave of terrorists who intend to impose their ways upon and take advantage of that society. People like you are safe and kept so by people like me and my fellow soldiers. You can not imagine living a life like the Iraqi civilians are forced to live. This is because you have been handed your freedom. You did not earn it. It was always there, and that is because it was earned for you by people better than yourself. You find the struggle for peace and the fight for another's freedom disgusting because you never witnessed the struggle or the fight for your own. I find you to be pathetic. You know nothing about the world. "It's so pretty". You don't understand. Your part of the world is calm and peaceful because others have sacrificed for you. The fact that you find the current sacrifice for the people of Iraq offensive proves you are nothing more than a selfish person who cannot see past their own life. This is why you yourself are not there helping. I've spent my time in Iraq. I've talked to the locals who are glad we removed Saddam from power. I form my opinion for experience not from what is shown by the liberal media. You know nothing and you are pathetic.
