Finally found my way here; I am new; just give me a little time! Zeynab,I am truly sorry you feel this way, but I guess if my country had been invaded, I would not be happy about it. Of course, I was NOT happy when our World Trade Center was destroyed killing thousands of people, either and done for no intelligent reason!. You are very much mistaken if you believe Americans hate Muslims. This whole country is built on the basis of many religions and ethnic cultures and mostly, we DO all get along. At least we don't riot in the streets, strapping bombs to our bodies and killing as many others as possible. Also, if you think Americans have all that much say-so in what our government does, then, by the same token, YOU and others like you, are responsible for all of the violence and killing occurring in Iraq right now! Don't you think that if the Sunnis and Shiites worked TOGETHER, instead of killing each other off, that the government would be able to function like a gov ernment should? And I am NOT giving advice, just asking for your opinion. I would truly like to know what YOUR solution would be . . . would you rather have Saddam back in charge?He certainly did not care about the Iraqi people, or he wouldn't have slaughtered so many of them. The point is, what is the best thing for Iraq RIGHT NOW, and what are YOU prepared to do to help instead of tear it down even further. I do not hate YOU, and I presume you do not hate ME! I am prepared to live in a world that encompasses all of the religions there are, as long as I am not FORCED to accept one over the other. How about you? jenny6664

Well, let me begin by saying that I live in America, and I love this country, what I don’t like though is our foreign policy. At the top of our foreign policy agenda is “protect Israel at any cost” that includes the destruction of not only what honest Americans have been working for in the last two hundred years, but it includes the destruction of any country that is a threat to Israel. However, we disguise that as stabilizing the region, and call them terrorist regimes.
Another item in our foreign policy dictates “this one is not written, but implied” rip off the riches of any country that is not as technologically advanced as we are, and to hell with what happens to its people.
We invade other countries “and this is nothing new, it started since the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock” in the name of spreading democracy and civilization all over the world, disregarding and disrespecting the life styles, and beliefs of the natives of the invaded countries.
Saddam was a brutal dictator, we all agree on that, and he had to go, one way or another, but do you think that sacrificing 5 percent of the population is a reasonable price to pay to get rid of a dictator? So far about 600,000 http://www.zmag.org/lancet.pdf#search='the%20lancet%20study' Iraqis were killed one way or another. “Disregard what the government tells you they are nothing but a group of puppets on Iraqs stage appointed by our stubborn president”. Our leaders lied, not only to us “the American public” and to the entire world, about the reason for this war “I am sure you remember the WMDs which even Google could not find them” but they kept coming up with new reasons to legitimize their actions.
Now for the killing in Iraq. our fearless leaders either did not have enough intelligence about the Iraqi people to speculate what the invasion might trigger, “and that comes from lack of human brains” or they did know, and they hoped that would happen “this one comes from the disrespect for the lives of other nations” so they can rip off as much oil as they can to help keep 1) their pocket books filled, and 2) help keep their pocket books filled for much longer, by preserving the oil reserves in the US, and the UK. I am sure you know where did the gas prices at the pump were headed in the last three years. The point is, there is nothing that is good for Iraq now or in the future we messed up a group of people by not only invading their country, but also by turning one sector against the other. Moreover, we are advising to rip the country into three different parts in the name of stabilizing the situation, the situation that we created to benefit the rich and famous in the western hemisphere. P.S. I wish you had chosen a different set of numbers after your name, instead of the symbol of the devil, quadrupled.
first jenny6664 the american they do not care about any one in the world me as an american citizen in abu dhabi we as americans we do not about anyone in any other part of the world we only to live and have and this is the lack of education in america and second america did not came to help iraq they came for oil and to destroy iraq that the reason the american history from 300 years is all bad and everything in america is wrong, take for instance in the year 1996 only one hour the electricity was cut from a state in america and look what happend the we as americans started robbing everything and destroying everything come on get logic american are not all that educated because of the crazy pllitics in america and the crazines in the americans them selves.
and another thing jenny6664 why do you think the amercians want to destroy a land that its civilization expanded about 8000 years old why do you think the americans want to do that, BECAUSE TO HELP ISRAEL AND GOD BLESS YOU.
Well first of all that wholething with the trade center was fake...and I am sure my country is not responsible for that. And anyways it was a one day thing that didn't kill so many people and it was donein one small place...unlike our country which is being destroyed all over the place. And from what I understand you sound like you are teasing us for the street bombings..am pretty sure that we have nothing to do with those bombings. And that thing about Sunnis and shiats killing each other,it was not happening back in the day..can you tell me why its happening now? May be because some evil hands are doing some evil work to accomplish a certain goal..which is to divide Iraq. And you saying that Saddam didn't care about the people...I hope you don't think that you guys care..because from what I see it seems that you guys are only trying to get what you guys want and get out. After all of what happened in Abu ghreab..do you guys really care??? And many other incidents that showed the world that you guys REALLY don't care..and that you guys are there just for your own good. There really isn't much of a solution for Iraq now...as long as Iran and Israel are Iraq's neighbors...Iraq wouldn't be in a good shape. You guys started all this and you are responsible for stelling it down.
Hi Jenny from Brooklyn. It’s good to see an American on this site as I think it’s very important for an open discussion to take place between our respected citizens. There is so much American’s don’t understand about our part of the world that any dialogue is better than none. You might find the initial reaction from us to be somewhat aggressive but given what’s taking place in Baghdad and the rest of Iraq, I’m sure you will understand and appreciate that we as Iraqis are very disillusioned by what the US government has done to our country. Stick with it and take the time to get to know the rest of the members. Don’t be afraid to post honest comments no matter what the reaction. I am relatively new here too but have finally found my way round. Regards. Azinorum
