would u fly in a plane if an arab was the pilot ?

Yeah... If they're the pilot of a plane, I'm sure they aren't just some random Afghani guy named Ahkmed who just came into America, signing up for flight school.

Wtf?

Agreed.

I would make sure I was hammered before the plane took off, though.

The Iraqi people did not mess with our lives, nor do they want to mess with our lives. Well, they didn't before we invaded their country and killed their innocent civilians. A private group of crazies who are in no way associated with or worked for Iraq, Afganistan, or Iran, decided they didn't like us and should attack us. Tell me then, why are we occupying Iraq with hopes of invading Iran when those countries had nothing to do with the attacks of 9/11? It's not like they have weapons of mass destruction or something, that's already been found to be false.

They're pissed because we invaded their country, most eastern countries dislike the U.S., but the people that are fighting our troops are Guerrillas who are more or less pissed off civilians/militia.

Iraq is divided, half of them want us there and half don't. While most of you may not like the war/conflict, our government has rooted us in Iraq for the long run and if we pull out now that country will be in a civil war.

Originally posted by spidey-dude

Why would Iraq troops be here? Think about it. 9/11 happens. 9/11 is the fault of who? No, not Iraq, not Afghanistan, not Iran, but a private organization. At the time of 9/11, did any of those three countries want to invade the US? Attack the US? No. No, they didn't. Only after we attacked them for no good reason did they want to retaliate. America started this conflict. Iraq is simply mad at us for killing innocent people, much like we are mad at Osama for killing innocent people. But we're not fighting a war against Osama are we? No, we're at war with Iraq, who did nothing. Now, some one please explain to me the connection between Iraq and Osama, because as far as I've heard, Osama's not even residing in Iraq. Hmm.
If Iraq wanted to start a war with us, that would be totally just and right of them, because we are the aggressors, we are the attackers, they should defend their country.

thats always been american forgein policy. look at hiroshima. NOTHING. I repeat NOTHING justifies blowing up people with a nuclear bomb.

And yesss. 9/11 was one of the greatest tragedeis of our time. I wasn't even in the U.S when it happened but its ripples caught on. That does not, however in ANY WAY justify what they're doing to the other nations. 9/11 was not the cause but a symptom of the problem. Calling innocent, poor, illiterate people terrorist isn't going to make America safer.Its just going to make people harbor more feelings of hate.

Its such a scary vicious cycle. the saddest part being America is destroying its own reputation in the world stage. Remember post V-Day days?

i admit its a waist of time the troops over there. there just waisting there lives but if they dont like us then hey i dont like them. doesnt that sound fair ? why would u like somone who doesnt like you ?

Theres a difference between not liking someone and being ignorant like you are by stereotyping all middle-eastern people as terrorists.

Saddam is dead, there is no more Saddam crap. There wasn't Saddam crap to begin with because Saddam enever had weapons of mass destruction.
And if it's the fault of the Afghani people, which it's not, why are we still then in Iraq?

Punky, I'm not condoning the use of nuclear arms, but you do know if that hadn't happened WW2 would have gone on for a long time.

Our nation didn't want to drop the bomb but we HAD to for the larger picture.

Perception is key if those jerks never decided to blow up NY on this day 6 years ago we wouldnt be over there. so they started all this not us.

I adore my country. I believe the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are two of the greatest documents ever written in the history of mankind. However, this war is a disgrace to our founding fathers and the principals they based this country on.

No, I told you that you were ridiculous because two minutes ago you were trying to convince me that we should stay in Iraq to protect ourselves then you turn around and try to say that the president is a fool for staying there.

Yeah, I'm 50/50 on the issue seeing as how I was going to be a Marine and would be fighting over there right now probably. Part of me is for the war and part of me is against it.

I completely agree.

we invaded iraq because we thought saddam had nuclear arms, he didnt but still he was a vicious tyrant and was removed from power. howwver after that we attempted to create a new goverment in iraq by basically telling their country what to do. that didnt go over os well and now while attempting to eliminate iraqui insurgents we are killing countless civilians and disturbing their lives and patrolling their streets. no they have no reason to be pissed

my old neighbor was killed in Iraq and in a war we really shouldnt have been in

People would have died yes had it continued, but they would have not mutated and scarred geographically, physically and emotionally for generations to come.

This is irreversable.

True, but Japan was bent on global control.

If Japan was able to, they would have done the same to us.

I understand that people outside the US won't understand.


Bid landed wants this, he wants the drama, he wants the attention. Media, is huge these days.

He is the one that started this shit. I long time before 9/11, USS Cole. For Chris sakes, Clinton sent missiles at a location he was at and failed.

Originally posted by Punkyhermy
So what if they were?

The world is a stage and nations rise and fall upon whim.

But as it now stands the U.S is the only nation to have used the bomb, to have crossed that line no evil tyrant dictator person in history ever has.

If we hadn't dropped the bomb, the world would be very different.

How so? Seriously.

In my opinion, yes.

Like Bacon said the US, Germany and Japan were in the race for nuclear arms. Germany had surrendered by the time we nuked Hiroshima but if we hadn't, Japan would have eventually used it on us.

Originally posted by Mr. Bacon
it was either us or germany or japan, we were all racing to gain the power of nuclear arms first, and all would have used it, we just happened to win. it was a terrible fate to bestow on anyone but the US was attacked by japan without provocation and had been allied with germany and hitler who was probly the worlds worst dictator.

hmm i'm not sure if its correct of us to automatically assume the others would have used it...

but what i;m saying is this. By resorting to what was expected of them to do, who were supposedly the bad people, how have we turned out any better?

For all i know, its the U.S causing all of the world's problems today.Not Germany. and Not Japan.

And considering the mere act of dropping the most lethal weapon on humanity comes from this country i;m thinking i shouldn't be surpirsed at all at what has transpired.

Many countries today have a nuclear bomb, and all under the claims of not wanting to use it.



nuclear bombs should be destroyed.

when used to the scale i'ms scared they will, there will be no world left to play petty politics in.

Sorry to say, dude, but the majority of the problems, you perceive with this country, cannot be placed on George W. Bush.

I agree, though, that he is a douche bag president.

Correcto.

countries are a stupid idea...

there should be no nations...just people.

I can think of many different possibilities and most are very interesting.

Not at all, just giving my opinion on it.

Why are people getting so pissy at this question?

The poster isn't saying all middle-Eastern people are terrorists, it's just being asked if you would entrust your life to one aboard a plane, in light of the fact that the ones responsible for such tragedies involving planes, were from the middle-East.

Like asking if you'd stay in a hostel after seeing Hostel.

NOT ALL ARABS ARE MUSLIMS AND NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE EXTREMISTS!!!!!!!!!! I have a Muslim in my class at school, she is friends with all 40 girls in our year and is impossible not to like. She is the funniest person in the year and the amazing thing about her is she loves life even though she is fat and not that bright. She doesn't need alcohol or herbal cigarettes to make her happy, she's just happy! (and she just signed into msn)

My Electricity and Magnetism professor at BU this summer was Arab, and she always shared anecdotes comparing American lifestyle to that of Iraq.

I have no doubt that all arabs want to do in America is the same as what the Pilgrims, Irish, Cubans, and anybody else you can imagine sought - a new life and a fresh start.

Its lame controversy like this thread that encourages terrorists to reach their goal of making everybody fear and hate each other.

I've never been on a plane before but the answer'd most likely be Yes.
