Insurgents at the Gate

Is this some kind of an attempt to glorify the insurgents? Describing the insurgent (actually terrorist would be more like it) as handsome and kind, bandaging the American soldier after shooting holes in their Humvees and leaving food for them is a sick joke. In reality, the insurgents have been cruel and brutal. The cruelty perpetrated on American civilians (for example Richard Armstrong), beheading them on camera proves that these bloodthirsty maniacs are anything but kind and caring.

#2 Kulharee, are you trying to justify a barbaric invasion of a country in which over 100,000 civilians have been killed needlessly, the entire infrastructure of a country has been destroyed, the probability that a person will get killed violently has increased several hundred fold, compared to your bogeyman, Saddam`s era using Darfur and the Toronto thugs? I have yet to see the media show an insurgent flying a F-118 making bombing runs, so whatever aid the ``Wahabi`` government in Saudi Arabia is giving is falling far short of what their opponents can gather.

When human rights agencies were warning prior to the Iraq war that millions might be displaced by the war, did this stop the barbaric invasion plans of the US? So why are they and you using the Darfur displacement, as if that is something that is morally repugnant to them? Damn hypocrites whose a$$ your lips are firmly attached to.

``There are no principles;there are only events.There is no good and bad,there are only circumstances.The superior man espouses events and circumstances in order to guide them.If there were principles and fixed laws,nations would not change them as we change our shirts and a man can not be expected to be wiser than an entire nation.``
- Honore De Balzac (1799-1850)

Never try to argue or act when everything is pre-planned.Simply calculate your odds and chances and act according to intuition.When ambushed the best strategy is to get the minimum possible damage and avoid being a POW and wait for the reinforcements or salvage squad.Every Nipolean has his Waterloo.

``...and there walketh a man with a free soul and heart full of contentment.Life smiling at him, come my dear! come and take charge of your own fate and fear not of the cursed rats envying your freedom and nibling at the chains tying their own spirits and bodies``
- Me (1972- to date)

Wa`alaikum-as-Salaam and Goodbye.May God be your protector and beacon of light in this darkest of the dark night.

Very passionately written article, like many anti War pieces. Americans should definitely get the hell out of there and let Iraqis kill one another, like they did to Marsh Shias (10s of thousands) and gassed Kurds. The Sunni insurgency that is funded by Wahabi dollars is not going to go away any time soon. Meanwhile, Arabs killing Arabs and other Muslims is kinda pushed out of the way in media. Look at what’s going on in Darfur. I guess it is most convenient to blame the US no matter what the issue. Some jokers wanted to blow up Toronto. It’s sad that they got caught.

Salams...
Truth always prevails. And InshAllah it will with Islam and its teachings.
The article was a good read. I especially liked the way you quoted passages from the Quran. The respect you gave to the Christian soldier and the Bible is applausible. This is the respect our religion has for other religions.
The article was short and precise. No nononsense and to the point without any accusations to any religion..which usually tends to become an issue with everyone and people digress and start abusing each others religions.
May Allah be with you.
