  • These soldiers and the U.S. soldiers are no better than Saddam Hussain.

    • yes that is my point, but werent we supposed to make an example???? of righteousness and democracy and non violence and above all against any form of suppression??..
      it is so sad..

  • It just goes to show that we are all capable of terrible crimes. Just think about it....these soldiers have gone over to Iraq with hate in their minds and hearts. They have been mind controlled to believe that all Iraqis are terrorists, bastards and want to "destroy the American way of life". They are possible also kids that have been abused themselves by their parents and just taking out their frustrations on other people. All this means to me is one thing.....Hate produces hate and violence just produces more violence....war does nothing but make things always worse, I know that sounds like a rhetoric phrase but the simplest answers to me have always been the most effective. I am sick of all this. Bring the troops home before it really is too late....I am sorry sorry I landed on this planet......

  • Common sense tell me that those pictures are probably fakes, but they reflect what might have been done by british soldier to irakies.

    The t-shirt, the B&W picture, the light skin color of the iraki, the way everything is put togheter... I can see something authentic when i see one, the american pictures were real, those one lets me wondering...
