Why don't you go personally to Iraq and test your presumption?

Just saying

LOL Maniac,


Could you imagine if the cops did that.  Makes me laugh just thinking about it.

Any City USA
Cops come to door, sir did you steal that.
Citizen, um nope.
Well to teach you a lesson were going to shoot and crush your car.  Have a nice day.

First, you gotta get their attention!


Seriously,  the USA has taken a beating in the press, domestically and internationally for just about everything in Iraq, and especially "failing to stop or control looting".

I agree that their tactic seems harsh, but consider these two thoughts, 1) They will be less tempted to go out and steal again, and 2)  Saddam Husseins regime would have most probably tortured them and their families, then killed them for stealing.

In twenties and even after that some Americans were merrily lynching people with different skin colour without any courts or judges.
Just wear a white rope and carry a cross and you can show *******s and *****s who's the boss.

Maybe it's just part of their heritage so it's not really their fault  :)

And maybe you're just a small, silly little man with no value or purpose.  So it's not your fault either.

Not really that fond of AK's but they will do in a pinch..  not a bad choice in a lot of situations even..    Still... they are cheap everywhere.

Perhaps if you went there and helped the freedom fighters throw out the infidels they would be grateful and leave you alone?
