Three things.
1st. Its NEVER ok to kill innocent people, PERIOD.
2nd. Maybe the terrorist bombings get less attention from the media because no one cares about what arabs do to themselves. I know its a shame but it goes like this. Worth while articles on human deaths ranks:
- occidentals
- asians from developped countries
- asians from poor countries
- South americans
- arabs
- Africans
Basically no one gives a *** if arabs kill themselves basically.
3rd. The americans killing innocents shouldnt be in Irak in the first place. So EVERY life lost should hold the US accountable for it. Its a very simple concept. If you come in a country without its leave and you create tension amongst its population, you kill many of them, and then you hold the country hostage of your military force, than you should atleast be held accountable for every mistake you make, its the least of things. The US didnt have approval from the UN to go in there, so it isnt a peace keeping mission or anything.
Im not anti-american or anything, its just basic common sense of international relations and media.
absolutely spot on. bet this guy doesnt even know the entire middle east was devided by france and england along superficial lines which is what they now call borders; these borders have been 1 of the main sources of tension in the middle east from the beginning. Iraq for example was made up by the british; just bring the kurds in the north, mix them with the sunnis in the middle and shi'a in the south and make up a country called Iraq.. and impose a 'king' whose sole job is to serve his western masters.. then give the kuwaiti rulers more land than they traditionally ruled (to deprive iraq from a deep water port for oil exportation).. volatile mix = never ending complications.
how bout jordan? the country didnt even exist as jordan but was made up by the west again, installing a guy who wasnt even from there as their king! what bout syria? used to be what is now called lebanon, jordan and palestine.. screw it, take a portion and call it jordan, give palestine to the jews and let the french establish a state for christians in lebanon (though that idea was doomed to fail because that region had more muslims than christians).. and the list is endless
its all messed up, the problems of the middle east today were directly linked to the west. its the truth.
