Bullets 'n' Babes

Both are wrong. Morally.

To me, lobbing rockets from a height of 3-4 km's on the heads of innocents, is even worse then a suicide bomb taking out innocent civilians.

I don't see how you come to that conclusion. That's like saying killing this bunch of innocent people over here is worse than killing this bunch of innocents over there. There's no logic in that.

I hate what the west has done to the Middle East, lest you all think I'm some right-wing towel-head-hating hawk, but why the fuck should British Joe Public suffer? Considering most Brits were actually against the war in the first place. If it was really about revenge these terrorists would target politicians. They don't: and that's because they want to maximise innocent casualties as part of a sick Islamic fundamentalist ideology. Iraq is today's excuse.

I agree with you Mark!
Suicide bombers are scum, but "We" are branded scum by them as if "they" are making us pay for something we did (As you said, most people were against the Iraq war).

Not quite 'today', but here's a transcript from the video that was released about the US firing on UK troops.

Dumb Ass fools is the only words that spring to mind, so many have died in "Friendly Fire" incidents, its just hilarious that they do it this much, but hell I would rather be killed by my own than some scumlord evil bad guy.

But hell they shouldnt be over there in the 1st place, so what do they expect. You have to be a dumb ass to go in the army these days, your life in the nands of Bush and Blair the constant liers, no chance in hell!

I don't know about preferring to be killed by my own than an enemy. Being killed by your own smacks of betrayal, whereas being killed by the enemy is something that you're conscious of when entering a battle.
It also doesn't change the outcome one iota, sadly.

The whole friendly fire news reports blow it way out of proportion anyway, the news is littered with it at the moment, they always concentrate on the bad things and not the fact they are wiping out thousands of the evil dooers but I guess they dont want to brag and attract more attention from suicide bombers etc.. so they cannot win really. I still say Pull out is the only solution if they dont want more Soldiers to die, if they stay a LOT more will be killed, there is no win to the situation.

And its costing billions to fund this crap, that the worst thing hundreds of Billions wasted on a pathetic ocupation we dont even need.

You could pay all the people over there and buy them all new homes and pull out, and it would cost less than staying there.
