Human shields?

[BeBMan]

What do you think of Western people going to Iraq as human shields?

To be honest I´m angry about them. It is not because of their political leanings, or that they are to 100 percent anti-war (I have my doubts about that war as well) etc.

What makes me angry is that they bring themselves into a situation where they have probably no overview of what is getting on, where they certainly get politically abused by Iraq´s regime, and all that without any responsibility for their own lives. One can say "oh, they can do with their lives whatever they want" but to me it looks like pure stupidity.

They haven´t any chance to achieve anything else than publicity (if it is intendet or not), but they have a good chance to get killed or injured. I wished they would do something more useful with their lives...

Ignorant. Now that some are back, they aren't ignorant.
Live and learn.

There were still some who stayed to protect all that stuff that's been blowing up.

[SlowwHand]

Cool. I hope their asses are blown sky-high.

According to Iraqi media some did just get their asses blown sky high when a couple of buses got targeted.

Looks like they got their wish really.

Sloww, they have. In fact the weather report for Baghdad calls for a brisk west wind and moderate to heavy human shields...

[SlowwHand]

Well, today IS their day, after all.


Happy April Fool's Day, to all the Human Shields.

All the're helping the world with is.....making compost...

Let the stupid people die and let's get on with life. If you wanna change the world, change it from the inside, dont stand in the way of a bomb.
That's like hating the zoo and going in the lion cage to pet them....how stupid...

Of course, it's also US troops fault that following Iraqi army personnel putting on civilian clothes and suicide bombing, a bus is fired on for refusing to pull over.

People got their priorities mixed up i guess. Anyway, pro or contra war, being a human shield in Iraq puts you on the side of Saddam, and he, being such a SOB, isn't a person i'd give my life for.

[Urban Ranger]

They are not on the side of Saddam, they are on the side of the Iraqi people. They are suffering the most in this war.

[Daz]

That is true. At least thats what they think.
Anyway, it is their president, who could (theoretically) have spared them from this terrible faith of being bombed to kingdom come by the US invaders. He could have left Iraq as Bush wanted to. We all know this wouldnt stop the yanks from invading, but thats another story.

Thats why I think they work for him.

And of course, they were blissful and happy and singing songs in praise of the great Saddam, without whose beneficient wisdom and leadership they are nothing, during the "peace."

Kum Bah Yah. I can hear it now.
