I have no clue why anyone would think a corner has been turned.

This will continue as long as foreigns try to directly control Iraq.

Apparently the news report on TV just a few minutes said they all were...

Not that it matters what nationality they are, as if they were Iraqis it would be just as tragic - not that we tend to hear about those ones...

We must stay the course in Iraq and help the country get off its feet. Sadly, things like this will happen because people hate what America stands for.

"This will continue as long as foreigns try to directly control Iraq."

Typical leftist crap. Profiting off deaths again.

People who mutilate corpses.

People who kill Iraqi civilians in large numbers.

People who kill Iraqis working to reconstruct their country.

People who kill foreigners working to reconstruct Iraq, especially foreigners from NGO's and from the UN.

People who blow up the infrastructure needed to improve life in Iraq.

All four contractors were from the US, so MOBIUS was correct.

Fallujah certainly seems the most stridently anti-American town in the triangle.

I think the key to this is how the average Iraqi citizens feels about things, and not what we think about it. Right or wrong, what matters is how they percieve it. Average citizen naturally, rebels and resistance is not something to deal with appeasing.

there seems to have been a snowball effect there - it started as more anti-american than most - this in turn led to harsher tactics, and thus more anti-Americanism. at the same time outsiders - both other Iraqis and foreigners - recognize its anti-american, and so people - again both Iraqis and foreigners - who want to kill Americans flock there.

2 thing boy:

1. you made NO POINT. MOBIUS said the four contractors were American's. Che said only one was-the information is that all four in fact were Americans. He was correct- I don;t give a **** that you disagree with his point in general-that had nothing to do with my statement. Imporve your reading of context, why don;t you.

2. I will ignore anything you say in this thread after this, becuase I won't waste more of my time on a person who has become a joke here due to his behavior.

You shut up. I made a point that not only americans were getting killed, but Iraqis were too. And I'm not talking about just this incident. You maybe you should get into a reading comprehension course?

Very graphic images were shown on late evening news in Sweden. It was worse than the Mogadishu images.

What I heard, it has not been shown on American TV, only the burning cars (it's election year after all).

Wow, you ARE jaded. You exaggerate. Some would blab loudly about "nuke 'em!", but people wouldn't really mean we should go massacre a bunch of people.

The reaction is much more likely to be the one Self Biased suggested.

The ex-Saddamites in Fallujah tend to have a different spin on things than much of the rest of the country. Gee, it must have been so nice when you got to feed at the trough at everyone else's expense, and now the poor dears don't have that any more.
