From the very beginning of the discussion about attacking Iraq I have been against it. With the war coming closer, the US foreign policy seemed more and more disgusting to me and I developed an extremely Anti-American attitude, which is quite common in Germany nowadays.
Nothing exciting so far, but when I saw the US soldiers captured by the Iraqis on TV, my first reaction was pleasure and satisfaction.
Reflecting these feelings I started to become very afraid of myself. How could I be happy, that human beings are captured, maybe mistreated and most possibly undergo their personal hell?
I wanted the US to get a bloody nose in Iraq so much, that I actually enjoyed the obvious suffering of those POWs.
At the moment I feel like an as***le, maybe I am one. I don't know. And I don't know what this f***ing war is doing with my mind.
And when I get involved in that topic to such an emotional level, how does it affect the people who are actually and directly concerned with the war, especially the Iraqis themselves?

I´d say it is never a good idea to let your emotions completely control you. I often wonder why anti-war people project their thoughts in such a way on the US troops that they wish them casualties. It simply seems completely illogical to me that one says he´s against war, because it will cost lives, but wishes death to those who are there.
It also seems to be a more ideological thing - perhaps you should ask yourself if you´re really anti-war, or if you´re only anti-US...
Not that I´ll take the morale highground here, but since you posted this for discussion... And if you´re able to ask yourself these questions you posted, I think there´s hope for you...

I dont know about anyone else but there is a lot of anti americanism arround here on apolyton, and it has been hear long before the Iraq War that is going on now. I can understand if you dissagree with US foreign poilcy, but why must you then take that as a reason to hate all Americans, as if we are the scum of the earth? This anti americanism i dont like one bit. If you want to change peoples minds and such, hating them and making those feelling know will only anger them against you and will not result in anything good.
Also even if you think War in Iraq is wrong, the world will be a better place with out Saddam in Iraq.

well some Iraqi millitary are pretending to surrender and then attacking allied troops, that you have to admit wont make allied troops to like the Iraqi millitary. I do not hate Iraqi's, but Saddam's millitary and all who support him willingly are not people you are suppost to be friendly with.

This simply means you are feeling so much anger towards the US government that it has begun to mutate. It doesn't mean your a bad person or an evil person, it simply means you haven't properly dealt with the anger.
I suggest tearing up a phone book while yelling crazy and psychotic things and a 20 day ban on the news and news forums.
