[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartman: [qb] [i]The previous occupant's mass media didn't flood the papers/airwaves with every bad thing he did and every person he tormented.[/i] It's almost as if the media deliberately WANT the Iraqis to think negatively about the current occupant, isn't it? [/qb][/QUOTE]If you mean the western media, you betcha. As for the "Eastern" Media, Al-Jazeera and such, well, they really don't care just as long as they can hate somebody in the west. [QUOTE][qb]Yeah, because CNN is the only western media network, right?[/qb][/QUOTE]Merely the largest, most "respected" and most-watched television news network outside of the US. [QUOTE][qb] Nah, the abuse that went on at A-G wasn't really that bad, was it? And those few prisoners that were tortured, pffft, compared to what Saddam was capable of, they were LUCKY to be at the mercy of American soldiers, weren't they? [/qb][/QUOTE]Considering that many of them, specifically those captured in action against US forces and not wearing any standardized uniform, the US would be well within their rights under the Geneva conventions to [b]shoot on sight[/b]... perhaps so.

I notice they become this dangerous, threatening, monolithic hostile force when people talk about Afghanistan. [/qb][/QUOTE]That doesn't surprise me. You seem to notice a lot of things that aren't there. [/QB][/QUOTE]
