Iremon said:If someone bitterly hates the US because, just hypothetically, the US wrongly attacked his country, US warplanes bombed his neighborhood and killed his mother, you don't think that person is more likely to be someone who is responsive to recruiting efforts by the radicals? I do.
I've always been worried that the children of the Iraqi innocents who have lost their homes, their families, and have seen nothing but blood, guts and more war will eventually grow up to be true enemies of the United States. The war started in March of 2003 with the bombing of Baghdad. A child of ten would now be 15, and ripe for a renewed wave of anti-American propaganda.
Me too Maggie. I'm afraid we will be paying a price for this mistake for years. All the people that lost their mothers or brothers or dads or cousins -- and even if not directly by US bombs or gunfire my gues is a lot of them will blame the US for the civil violence that was unleashed by the invasion.
What is that chances that some of these will be the ones volunteering to fly the next plane or whatever they think of to attacke us, a decade, two decades from now?
The pain of war, cannot exceed, the woe of aftermath ...
