now youre just nitpicking. you mean to tell me that youve never heard anyone use a racial slur, nor have you ever used one yourself in a derrogatory manner!?

im not saying its right, but youre getting carried away.

also, how anyone can deny the evil of saddam hussein's regime and the fact that it needed to be stopped is beyond me. are you one of those people who believed that a communist organization such as the UN were going to do something???

lets say this was al gores doing...then what wouldve been your standpoint? much different im sure.

the fact is, people are getting to involved in thier 'i hate republicans, i hate bush, i hate money' ideals. not only this, but as well as the 'bible thumping, fear of god and the book of revelations' jibberish. or the common 'nostradamus said the worlds gonna end, and this is the beginning' crap. these are all just excuses for being scared. so scared its making you frustrated, so you feel the urge to accomplish something by tacking useless comments on a poorly maintained website that will somehow inform the other two idiots that avidly read this page how 'george bush is destroying blah blah yadda yadda because this guy said he wants to nuke stuff..'

further, have you seen the kind of garbage the middle eastern media feeds that area of the world?? it is the al jazeera and abu dhabi networks that feed the middle eastern civilians to become a 'bin laden', not american policies.

now i could understand if there were a balanced argument for any of the ramblings youve posted on this site - but there arent. do you just visit other websites and copy and paste a link of something that you think 'might look good' to someone who shares your views?? this site is embarassing. -- Posted by: david williams on April 10, 2003 11:55 PM

Dear Eddie Tews and anyone who agrees with him: You are certifiably full of shit and need to have your head (which has been shown to be full of hot air) examined. I am so damned sick and tired of hearing bleeding heart pussies cry about the collateral deaths of innocent Iraqis that it makes me sick. You seem to disregard the fact that many Iraqis were willing to risk death by having a bomb, though intended for a military target, accidentally fall on them rather than continue living under the rule of Saddam Hussein's Baath party. How do I know this? I would think the fact that most residents of Baghdad did not get the hell out of that city when they knew it would have bombs raining on it shows that they wanted to stick around and enjoy the city in the post-Saddam days. And don't tell me that they couldn't leave, either. The regime could not have kept the entire civilian population there if they had wanted to leave. Also, I have many friends who are Arabic, two of whom are Saudi, and they have expressed nothing but relief that this was finally happening. Also, I would hope you're not so thick headed to not notice what's going on in the streets of Baghdad and other cities, where thousands of jubilant Iraqis are showing how they truly feel about this war. Whining maggots like you fail to realize that many Iraqis, much braver than the likes of you, were willing to pay the ultimate price so that their posterity would live better lives in their homeland without having to flee to America. They were willing to risk death so that they and their children could enjoy a better life. Let me suggest that you go rent "Braveheart" and listen to the speech William Wallace gives to his troops right before their first major battle. Trite of an example as it may seem, it is still fitting to this day. Also, how pathetic it is of you to point fingers at the coalition forces who have accidentally killed Iraqi civilians. First, let me point out the undisputable FACT that had this undertaking been attempted by any other group or military, Saddam would not have been able to have been removed from power without killing at least 100 times as many innocents. You should count your lucky, bleeding-heart stars that the US and UK have such precision weapons that they were able to go about the war in the manner in which they did. Every single American soldier who died over there could still be alive today if our government had taken a different approach to the war. Taken to the furthest extreme, I'm saying that we could've just dropped a few MOABs on Baghdad and that would've been that. Mission accomplished, no American casualties. But hundreds of thousands of Iraqis would have died, so instead we took the road less travelled, and did the best we could. Yes, a few (relatively) civilians were killed, just as a few (relatively) Americans were killed. To which I say, at the risk of sounding a lot more callous than I really am: tough shit. WAR IS HELL. Anyone with a decent head on their shoulders knows this. When wars are fought, people die. It's that simple. There has never been a war in the history of the world where innocent people haven't been killed. You have to understand that in order to affect change of this magnitude (i.e. removing a regime that wants to stay), people are going to die. Military and civilian. Again, you should quit your crying and just be thankful that more Iraqi civilians, by about 100 fold, weren't killed. Instead, we chose to send our own people into harm's way. What would you have us do? Have both sides agree to play paint-ball or laser-tag and whoever wins gets the prize? People are going to die. Get over it. Again, realize that some people, much braver than yourself, were willing to trade their lives for what they believe in, even if they weren't carrying a weapon. And personally, as an American, I care more about relieving the Iraqi people from the brutal oppression under which they've lived for the last 30 years than I do about finding WMD. Hopefully some WMD will be found so that our original pretense will be justified, but the way I see it, I care more about suffering human beings than I do about weapons which haven't yet been employed. This is not to say that I think we should've sat back and done nothing about these weapons. Anyone who says that nothing should have been done is a fool who is always willing to concede the first blow to the enemy before he/she decides to take action. If you know your opponent is going to take a swing at you, just because you beat him to the punch doesn't mean it wasn't self defense. Anyone who argues otherwise is going to lose an awful lot of fights in their lifetime. Why must innocent Americans die before we're willing to take action? Ask yourself that one. And if the US and UK are so attrocious for this war, how would you have gone about doing it? I suppose you would've had a better plan? You're nothing but an arm-chair quarterback who chose to talk about world events instead of football. Get a life and try to look at all sides of a situation before you decide, next time, that you're "anti-anybody dying" even though the outcome will be well worth the cost. -- Posted by: Bill Whitlock on April 11, 2003 01:58 PM

Wow, the comments above are spectacular! I can't tell if they're parody or not, but either way you should be honored that someone went to so much trouble to say so little using so many words so badly.

Keep up the good work, Eddie. -- Posted by: Brian Huddell on April 11, 2003 03:08 PM
