The Democratic Underground Roots For The Death Of American Troops In Iraq Over at the Democratic Underground, their frustration at being unable to surrender to Al-Qaeda has boiled over, and now they're giving their blessing to the murder of American troops by terrorists in Iraq. The thread is called, "Do the Iraqi people have a right to resist foreign invaders?" The "foreign invaders" referenced are our troops who are currently in Iraq at the behest of the Iraqi government and are helping them defend their country against criminals, diehard Baathists, Shiite militia men, and Al-Qaeda. By the "Iraqi people," they mean terrorists who want to kill our troops, murder civilians, and overthrow the government. Here are just some of the responses at the DU: shadowknows69: I was just thinking of posting on this same thing Jack. We need a brave Democrat to call this what it is. An illegal occupation, after a liberation, if they must, of a sovereign country. OF course Iran is aiding the insurgents attack our troops. Where else do they have to go? If China somehow managed to occupy the US we'd be begging Cuba to send us coconuts to throw at them. Its a pretty sad commentary when the Iraqi people will even turn to some of their oldest enemies to try to eject the parasite known as U.S. Imperialism. A resistance uses whatever tools they have. The people fighting US, and I'm not talking about sectarian sh*t, are people who don't want us in their country anymore because we've defiled their lands for too long and they know ultimately all we want is their resources. no_hypocrisy: As a sovereign nation, it always has the right, and the world has an obligation to support a country trying to repel an invasion and/or occupation. Where is the U.N.? Where is the EU? Where is NATO? And I don't consider the present government in Iraq (Malakhi) to be more than quislings to the Iraqi citizen endarkenment: yes of course they do. our invasion and occupation were and are war crimes. The iraqis have every right to resist. TheBaldyMan: a couple of points ...The current administration stole two presidential elections in a row, to label the American people as complicit in the crimes of Shrub and his puppetmasters is a slander on all of them. If the government had been less incompetent there wouldn't have been a war in the first place. I agree that the co-alition should withdraw as fast as humanly possible. Before, during and after this withdrawal the US should go to the rest international community and beg for forgiveness as well as help in remedying the situation. It is long overdue. Having said that, the current administration will have to be removed from office - root and branch - before any of this is remotely likely. pampango: Did the Germans conduct the same kind of bogus election in France that we did in Iraq? demrabble: Of course the Iraqi people have a right to resist foreign invaders and occupiers of their country. The people of Iraq are in the same situation now that the French people were in during the early 1940's -- the country had been invaded and occupied and a puppet regime established. Like the French, the Iraqis have set up an Underground Resistance to the Occupiers. This is what the anti-war movement in this country is rapidly becoming. Anti-American, anti-military, and actually pro-terrorist. TomDelay.com
