Yeah, right
and what knowledge does he have of the muslim mind?? It's not Iraqi, it's muslim. He's off on a faulty premise already.
Hmm. Strange. I know I remember at least as far back as September 11, 2001.
Matter of fact, I remember the Munich Olympics.
Now, I'm sorry... I forgot what your point was.
The muslim Rules of Behavior (modified from Toddler Rules of Behavior)
1. If I like it, it's mine.
2. If it's in my hand, it's mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
5. If it's mine, it must NEVER appear to be yours in anyway.
6. If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it looks just like mine, it is mine.
8. If I saw it first, it's mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
10. If it's broken, it's yours.
What's an IRAQ? Who are you people? What am I doing here?
I just WISH they had "tortured" them like in Abu Gharaib
I wish they had just put panties on their heads, put leashes on them and took pictures, but let them live. How I wish that was all they'd done!
The Islamofascists are still upset about the Crusades and that was nearly 2000 years ago. Talk about holding a grudge. Sometimes a short attention span can be a good thing, relatively speaking.
People with no awareness of middle eastern history are ill-equipped to educate anybody.
That. Was. The. Whole. Point. You. Fool!
The Arab fascists in Iraq and elsewhere needed to see exactly where their behavior was going to lead them. Any Arab male who hates the US for seeing Saddam's minions treated that way was never going to be an ally of ours in the first place.
"The warring between the different factions ...goes back centuries. The differences continue today because of those very long memories."
Well it's less about literal memory than cultural mechanisms like blood feuds and notions of honor or dignity, continually measuring those qualities in one's clan, assuring them for yourself and denying them to the tribe's ancient "enemy".
It's all quite primitive, really.
Here is my interpretation of the Iraqi'a Man's Mind, he adheres to a book, the Quran that is like satan's bible, he is so lacking in masculinity that he treats women like dirt, he has no problem using women and children as shields because he is a coward, he has absolutely no honor, although he believes he does because he thinks it manly to go to a public place with a bomb belt on and blow up innocent people. He is basically always offended by something so therefore he feels he can kill you. I am sick to death of having to tread lightly so not to offend these maniacs. It's a two way street and if they don't get it through their thick skulls then they're just spinning their wheels, the rest of us are over their death cult.
Our enemies need less understanding and more killing. That is how you win wars.
The writer is the one with a short memory. Islamic fanatics tortured and mutilated captives long before Abu Ghraib. Blame America first.
the condescension and arrogance in this essay is absolutely demeaning and disgusting to every American. the implication is that the muslim religion is somehow HOLIER than any Christian or Jewish religious beliefs.
underlying this entire essay is the assumption that muslims have a right to get more upset about their bodies than American Christians do. why? because muslim faith is more valid or somehow more spiritual than the western spirituality.
bullsh$t. i'm sorry but BULLSH$T.
If I was one of the vast majority of Iraqi men who are quite civilized, I'd be pretty d*mn pissed at this sloppy journalist lumping me in with terrorists who torture and behead people. It was "Iraqi men" who told our forces where the bodies were and warned them about the booby traps.
Didn't this guy write a big, long article about how Saddam was killing 5,000 per month by throwing them off buildings, decapitation, wood chippers, etc? No?
This mush; passing for thoughtful discourse. . .goes beyond insult. . .
These Libs worry about 'pantiesontheheads' of prisoners. . .while their own intellectual choices are no more than a shared abomination.
What these Libs do - what they spew. . .for the American public; so captured by the MSM. . . is far worse than what our soldiers did to the 'captured' at AbuGhraib. . .
Giago has a column that appears regularly in The St. Paul Pioneer Press. This is a typical America-bashing article by him. In fact every column I've ever read by him going back more than a decade is an America-bashing one. He hates everything about America and blames the U.S. for all the world's problems. A male version of Molly Ivins.
