“You can’t speak to the ones that this article is talking about! ”

Ah, couldn’t have been put better. Regardless of how one-sided the statistics may seem, people are still losing their lives and families are losing their loved ones. No matter how much progress is being made, if you have to step on other people to achieve it, it isn’t right. Americans need to stop feeling like we’re “entitled” to this oil, if we would just stop trying to dominate the world, we may not be facing the issues we have today.

Rand Corporation. Yeah.

“$2,527 a month.” Hmmmmm.

Trust Iranian newspapers? Or French, German, etc., b/c at heart, they are thinking only of what’s in the best interests of the US? They want to give Americans the “truth.”

Alex,

You can’t speak to the ones that this article is talking about! Facts speak for themselves. If there is “great progress” in Iran and Afghanistan, tell us about it. I, for one, would certainly welcome some good new. I read the British newspapers, the French news, German news and news from the Arab world. I haven’t read about any Great Progress and don’t tell me all these newspapers are in cahoots to send negative news to the public. We in America are not getting the terrible tragedy full force as the Iranians are. Wake up and realize this war is all about oil and we have given too many of our kids for Haliburton.

I speak with a lot of troops that are over there or have come back! I can tell you that there are a lot that do go back for second and third tours that are proud of what we are doing over there! There is great progress (they say and they are actually over there). They also state that the media is covering up the progress for sensationalism on the news in wanting to report negatives instead of all the good going on there. Look at both sides before being negligent in writing some one-sided information.

Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld should be hanged from the gallows by the Nuremberg Tribunal for war crimes.

So 18 vets a day, 4 from these current wars, commit suicide everyday. Is that higher than the general population of similar aged males? If so, how much higher. The raw number is useless without context.

it’s been said that god(s) may forgive ur sins- at least that’s what mad priests ‘promise’- but will ur nervous system forgive u ur misdeeds?
nat, what good cld priestly class do if it didn’t ‘promise’ ?
not much!
by making ‘promises’ they nab little children and have their obedience for decades or even forever.
