    You don't have to be in the war to make a comment about the war. Your opinions may be different from those have been there and completely disagree with what we're doing there (fighting for a war that should not have started to begin with). Opposing the war does NOT mean that you don't support the troops. Those who oppose the war ACTUALLY care more about the troops than those who want to continue the war so that they can profit. I have served in the Army for over 13 years. I have seen the horrors of the War in Iraq and treated wounded soldiers.
    If the Administration wanted to "liberate" the Iraquis and remove the dictator, then they should have told the truth from the start and tell the American people we went there to remove the dictator and promote REGIME CHANGE and NOT because of WMD's and all the other lies we have heard...

    What other country in this world today gets to have their ruthless dictator that killed hundreds of thousands of their own countryment removed from power along with his blighted regime, and have another countries troops sacrificed for their wellbeing and soverignty and then they get to WHINE about us "not doing anything for them????" For the love of God- these peoples ungrateful animosity just turns my stomach. "Go Home??" Yea, let's do that and let these ingrates fend for themselves. American's need to take care of America. Period.

      Did you kinow that we supported that evil dictator for decades? Who do you think gave Saddam his weapons? Answer: The US, So, we did not care that he made atrocities because he was our "ally". I support the troops, I have served for 13 years and I will continue to serve. I do NOT agree with what we're doing and I believe we should come home immediately. I have seen how badly people are coming back and the suffering of the troops themselves and their families. Stop being so proud! Your experiences are not the same of all of us who have made the same sacrificies you have made. I honor and admire your service brother. But, we cannot remove every single dictator in the world by creating wars. We must promote peace by setting a good example and stop promoting dicators like Musharraf in Pakistan. Stop aide to Israel, bring all our troops home from the middle East including Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

    This was one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Real, true stories, nothing hyped. There's no way to describe it but everyone should see it.

      collegevoter, what do you know of WAR!!!!, you sound equally as ignorant as coolcat,,,,the Best video??? Men and Women in uniform are dying over there, and the best video is the best you can come up with???How about, this "video is overwhelming", or "My heart goes out to those who have sacraficed so much",. Maybe your next college class, should be at the front lines, go there and have a true meaning of the lost and the sacrafices of so many of our Finest......28ID soldier, from the front lines...

    WAR SO SAD FOR ALL INVOLVES ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG CHILDREN WHO ARE SO IMPRESABLE, WHY DONT WE JUST END THIS DISATER NOW, PLEASE...

    • Posted By: JMPMASTR @ 03/19/2008 4:09:33 PM

      So these children would have been better off living under Hussein who liked to snatch people off the bstreet and torture them for amusement ot rape women for sport? Anyone who really believes that is niave and foolish as well as cruel. Tyrants need to be toppled we had help when we were fighting for our independence, now we're paying it forward to another group of people who've lived under oppression. De Oppresso Liber

  • Posted By: JMPMASTR @ 03/19/2008 4:00:27 PM

    Amen Brother! The Soldiers have secured a real future for these kids not some hellish life under a Dictator who used rape and torture to terrorize his own people and hold that part of the world hostage. The Iraqi people have a chance to find their way to a better system of government and peace because our military and leaders have decapitated the lawless government of Hussein. De Oppresso Liber

    Here is a perfect example of how the media tries to steer things. Newsweek posted 5 videos and only promotes commenting on "The Youngsest Survivors" which they've tried to make look so sad. Well, these kids have a chance now other than a dismal future with a tyrant! They don't understand now, and I am sure feel confused, but their future is full of many more possibilities! Did you notice the lame tone of the reporter, trying to make you feel nothing but agony even in the second video where these honorable troops were there making the best of their situation and in my opinion, didn't give her the satisfaction she of showing deep opposition and dismal stories from these soldiers. They gave her answers that makes me proud to have them as service men. They are fighting for freedom. For us, for the Iraqis, for the world! When you have an infection, you don't wait for it to spread before it gets out of control... you stop it as soon, and as fast as possible! It's a tough call being there, but you people better learn some respect for those looking out for you since you can't seem to figure is out for yourselves. Newsweek, if looking for real opinions would have let people comment on all the videos. If you haven't watched you better since the second one showed many brave people doing what they believe in. The 3rd, 4th and 5th videos were very nice tributes to the people who died for "The Youngest Survivors" How about a big ol' THANK YOU from the people of the U.S.A. and from the teacher who might have been killed 5 years ago for teaching those kids! God bless them and the troops who gave them more opportunities than they ever knew possible! God bless those who gave their lives with their own families for ALL of our families!

    This disgraceful in the Middle East, all about pro Israeli traitors, corrupting USA's political system to kill, die and USA taxes pay to get back land that 'god' gave, FOR JEWS ONLY. 60 years of USA taxes being wasted on a piece of crap land, no oil, no gold, nothing of value except to poor Arabs that had little else, and religiously insane coward corrupting Jews, who gladly have USA soldiers sent to die, while Israeli 'soldiers' hide, safe, behind a Wall USA taxes paid for, like everything else in that crap land that 'god' gave, FOR JEWS ONLY. Why is it USA"s business if Jews get back land that 'god' gave only to Jews? What 'god' should have done is gave them coward Jews a backbone, to do their own killing, dying and paying for their religiously insanity, America, now Jewmerica the killing machine that cowards have corrupted to keep Arabs victims of Israel. You remember the Twin Towers?, Destroyed by Arab Patriots, cause by coward Jews corrupting USA to keep Arabs victims of Israel, our only ally. The same Israel that sent 5 mousehead soldiers to video tape the attack, instead of warn USA of the attack. Them our only allies 'soldiers ^5 each other and jumping with joy as people jumped to their deaths from the Twin Towers. Now we just wasted a Trillion USA tax dollars in Iraq, not for WMD's, but be cause Paul Wolfowitz, a Jew, used USA Soldiers blood to get revenge for Saddam scudding Israel, while Israeli soldiers still hide safe, behind a 'Wall USA tax paying morons paid for, like everything else in that crap piece of land that 'god' gave, FOR JEWS ONLY. Now we have a choice int the upcoming elections. Will it be a Democratic traitor or a Republican traitor that will still keep sending USA soldiers to kill, die and USA taxes pay for the 'right' of religiously insane people, to get back land that 'god' gave, FOR JEWS ONLY. Jew=cowards, USA=idiots.

    . I am a proud Muslim US citizen born in New york although I have travelled to the middle east and Pakistan and they are not any different from the people here in the US. The whole thing is a way to make the world one, which is not a bad idea but thats like taking away the diff cultures and languages. Lets not forget more then half the people in the US are immigrants aswell.

    actually, I'm not full of hate... but do have some common sense about how war works. and, yes, I have been over there, been all over the middle east lately. And I trust that there are some vets that you'd believe rather than me. so, instead of demeaning me, why not take a look at what a large number so troops say about these wars: go ahead, make your day: WWW.IVAW.ORG ....There is a vet right here (sickashel) who'd probably give you a better version of the truth based on his pinion and his experiences.

  • Posted By: sickashel @ 03/17/2008 8:48:15 PM

    I have found that in todays news we get only the reporters veiws and their opions. I remember the das when we were iven the facts and we were left to make our own opion. I was told long ago by my father " belive none of what you hear and only half of what you see!"

    What other country in this world gets to have their ruthless dictator removed from power, the regime that was killing thousands of their own countrymen taken down, OUR country's troops sacrificed for THEIR wellbeing and then they get to whine about us "not doing anything for them"???? It turns my stomach to see their ungrateful animosity...."GO HOME?!?" Yea, why don't we do that and leave them to fend for themselves!
    American's need to take care of America. Period.

    To think Iraqis should be grateful to the US for invading them, killing their kin and friends, and creating a 40% unemplyment rate is like thinking a mugger should be thanked for a mugging.

  • Posted By: Carolina Souljah @ 03/17/2008 6:18:33 PM

    We can fight them in Iraq or fight them in your neighborhood. You make the choice. No one wants to go to war but I will in a heartbeat so my family and friends can live in a free nation.
