First off, Typhoid is new here so he missed this argument the first 10 times.
Also, most people who oppose the war base their views on "how many civilians are being needlessly killed?"
In this war, many civilians are being needlessly killed. Most people respond to this by saying things like "They're casualties of war" or "because they were fighting back."
Casualties of war is bull****. Go on the internet on sites like the English Al Jazeera news site. Look for some of the war videos out there that they won't show on TV because it makes america look bad. A while ago on CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) they showed unedited videos from the war that were not allowed to be shown on CNN (like most of the footage from the war). I saw some very diturbing footage. On the internet I also found some very disturbing footage. One particularily disturbing piece of footage was an entire family being killed for not cooperating with the soldiers. The most disturbing piece of footage I saw was an American soldier talking about how "awesome" it was to kill Iraqis. I'll paraphrase it for you.
Everyone just opens fire on him. Then he's dead and you're like "Oh man, that was awesome. Let's do that again."
Too many people are being killed there.
the other argument was that the Iraqi civilians weren't cooperating. Of courrse they aren't cooperating. If America was being taken over by anotehr country and being occupied, Americans would fight back.
There was a study conducted recently (I'll try to see if there's a link to it on the internet) stating that in every family (immediate family, grandparents, grandchildren, first cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces nephews) at least one person has been killed.
Killing their family members isn't the best way to make them not hate you.
I won't stop opposing the war until Iraqi civilians stop being killed.
