"Anti-U.S. cleric Muqtada al-Sadr on Wednesday urged reprisals against American forces in Iraq to protest Israel's Gaza offensive, as Arab anger grows over civilian deaths in the Palestinian territory."

Okay. Let's take a horrible situation and manipulate people into acting on something totally not related to it at all, and hope because they're angry and emotional, they'll take the bait. Now, where in the world have I seen this ideology before...?

I wonder if they even care their ideology is the same was what got Americans into Iraq in the first place. My guess is no.

And of course, when an Arab bestirs himself with unrestrained fury and takes out his incendiary, blind anger on the West, we will say it has nothing to do with us. Why do they hate us, we will ask? But let us not say we do not know the answer.

and there ya go.

... are you seriously excusing the attacks on American soldiers by al-Sadr's militants?

lemonsherry January 8 2009, 18:51:31 UTC

no.

Then what's the point of your quote.

Is anyone shocked?

Like the Bush administration, Israel's government doesn't give a shit about the consequences their actions will have for other countries.
