I'd have to fill in the other half of the information, and perhaps organize it chronologically or something.

I must say that those who think that the US is an imperialistic, evil nation have been disproven.

Because if the allies had indeed unleashed the total power of their combined militaries, Iraq would be dust.

The 3-4 hour battle that the us marines engaged in in Um Qasr was an indication of that.

They could have ended the battle in as little as a half hour by levelling the city. But they chose to engage targets more restrictively with an emphasis on the safety of innocents, and making sure that they only target combatants.


If the US and its allies were as evil as some would think, Iraq would be a wasteland as we speak.

And to prove this, I refer you to the fact that the US Marines were ambushed as they tried to take prisoners who faked surrender.


The Iraqi's or other EVIL nations would have shot surrendering soldiers on site...as the Iraqi's have done

But, the US decided to go easy...and they were killed as a result...

Gee, the US must be evil imperialists...yeah...

I'm not sure you can say that. As they do have 5 POW's. They did not shoot them on sight.

When did Serb change his name?

Serb is anti-US. This guy is, ahem, a US Patriot.

No regime that has ever existed, including the Nazi regime, was as brutal as the Soviet Union under Stalin. Somewhere between 25,000,000 and 40,000,000 Soviet citizens were killed by the regime. How do you feel about that? Was that an honorable thing to do?

Its a sad fact that many russian posters(and assorted apologists) seem to think the SU was entitled to muredr ots own citizens and that it would be wonderful if Stalin acme back and brought order to the country.

Hm.

Cluster bombs were used against Basra.
