Can we forgive america?

No but because i think America had done nothing wrong at all yea

To me, Saddam is to blame for all the problems and calamities that has befallen Iraq. When a siner suffers, the inocents would definitely have their tolls as well. Saddam transgressed the penal code guiding the human rights, international relations and hence, world peace. Saddam draged Iraq into all this mess. So i think we need not holdany grudge against US at all.

More America bashing by yet another poster who has not got a clue what he is talking about! Saddam started the war against Iran 1980 -1988 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_iraq_war Saddam started the war against Kuwait http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Gulf_War How many lost lives do you think Saddam Hussein is responsible for??? Get with the truth "dude"

i say can we forget what has been done to america by those brave muslim brothers who took it upon themselves to highjak and fly airplanes in to the world trade centre, or the brave islamic country that continues to hide bin laden? When this has been done, who knows America just might stop punishing the islamic world, do it not and nor will the usa, dont mess with the big boys if you dont want a beating

I thought Saddam's own people are the ones who hung him?

You Sounded Preety Mad My Friend. But please think again alright, lets not blame Americans and lets not blame the Iraqis. If you feel like blaming some one , blame Those the governtment of America and the government of Iraq. And not the american and not The Iraq civilians . Once again dont use the word Americans. Because there are innocents civilians american who knows nothing about politics like the decision makers do. There Might be even thousands of Indian national living in america. Are you going to skin them alive as well? Once again lets blame those politician and the decision makers .

There is so much hatred going on in the world. If we don´t hate the iraqies, we hate the muslims, the indians, the americansm the blacks the..... It can go on forever. It is this hatred that makes the world what it is today. If we all stopped carrying this hatred around I do belive that the world would be a better place!

YOU ARE VERY CLOSE MINDED, WASN'T IT IRAQ WHO FIRST ATTACKED AMERICA AND KILLED TONS AND TONS OF PEOPLE AND CHILDREN IN THE 911 INCIDENT? I THINK SADDAM GOT WHAT HE DESERVED HE WAS JUST AS BAD AS HITLER, OR IS HE YOUR HERO TOO? HE KILLED MILLIONS OF HIS OWN PEOPLE AND INNOCENT PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL, I'M GLAD HE WAS EXECUTED AND I AM PROUD OF AMERICA AND I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! AND YES WE DO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS AND JUST BECAUSE YOUR PEOPLE DON'T AGREE WITH THEM DON'T MAKE THEM WRONG, BECAUSE WE DEFINETLY DON'T AGREE WITH YOURS OR YOUR TRADITIONS. IRAQ HAS KILLED SO MANY PEOPLE IN COMPARISON TO THE U.S, ALMOST EVERYONE HATES IRAQ BECAUSE OF THEIR TERRORISM AND THEIR TYRANNY, SO DON'T HATE ON US BECAUSE WE DEFEND OURSELVES. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT TOO BAD!

its not the matter to forgive america coz america is state in itself. we must concentrate on whether or not to forgive BUSH. HE has brought so many destruction to world and especially to the muslim that he is not suppose to be forgiven at least by muslim i would love to see america with ruler other than BUSH.

Dude, you are someone to be talking about the treament of Iraqi women. Are you aware that there was a school for girls that caught fire (not caused by any American) and the doors were locked from the outside. The Iraqi's stood by and watched them burn. Why? Because they were FEMALE. I don't think it's right that our female soldiers are required to wear that ridiculous veil. See, we RESPECT your customs. And did Iraq have the right to attack Kuwait back in 1990? I think not. And it was actually Saddam's supporters who murdered his lawyers. Why? They didn't think he was getting a fair trial. Look, I think we ought to let you guys eat sand and choke on your oil. I think we should let you keep your women ignorant and without education. I think we should let your corrupt governement stand, but my oil loving president doesn't. Why? Because he's in bed with YOUR Bin Laden financial supporters. It's obvious that Iraqi's don't want freedom or democracy. You would rather follow a dictator than think for yourself. Fine. I don't care about you. As for rape, JESSICA LYNCH. It was Iraqi's that raped her. Rape isn't right no matter who does it. So take that off the table. Neither is murdering 400k people in a mass grave. Saddam was responsible for over 2 million deaths. You have gotten what you wanted; a controversial discussion you think will make you a lot of money. WRONG. There are ways around that.

y wat has america done......

Have you checked your facts??? You profile shows your 19, age does not excuse ignorance, get your facts straight, no country is perfect but also no country is innocent...

America did not try Saddam. his own country Iraq tried him. America just went in and caught him for them. Saddam's Lawyers were not killed by America. They were killed by the Iraqi people. It is not America that is causing the fighting between the Iraqi people. They were fighting each other before America got involved, and will fight each other when America finally goes home. They are fighting for power and control. They are not peace keepers as they would have you think. Though I am sure they all want peace. But they all want control of the country too.. Each side thinks they are better than the other side. Easch side thinks the other side is the enemy. That won't stop when America leaves. Do I agree with America being over there? No. But we are there until the leaders of that country ask us to leave, or tell us we are no longer needed. Has that happened yet? No. Are there bad people in America? Yes. Just like anywhere else. And you can bet your bottom dollar they wll be dealt with. American's do not get away with stuff like people in other countries do.. And those that broke the law will learn that lesson the hard way. But don't blame America for the problems in Iraq. Those problems were there long before America even got involved.

i have read through this long lengthy discussion and many have said some very enlightening things. Tragic is this war, the cause of it, and all the happenings within it. Will it ever end? I am not speaking about the war but of the hate it created. To forgive is divine, as you sow so shall you reap. I have to ask did America kill a nation as you stated, or did America help to save it? The answer is not known as of now. but will be known in the future. The next generation will benifit from the acts taken in this present time, this is the hope is it not?

SHUT UP and GET OVER IT!!!!!!!

you can't judge an entire country for a few bad seeds. i'm sure most people know that by now. america had NOTHING to do with the trial saddam recieved. he was tried by his own goverment and nation. we just reported on it...thats about it. i can't speak for the men who harmed other woman, but most of them were probably punished for it. America is one of the most powerful countries and honestly i think we're trying to help a nation who needs it. If you do not like americans in your counrty, then petition your government to have them leave. from my understanding, they're there to train your soilders to defend for themselves and protect their own nation. there's nothing wrong with needing help.

Let me get this straight. America does all the killing and atrocities in Iraq,but you diddle your mother. No wonder you aren't rational. Just to get things in perspective, pop out of your box and look into the atrocities in some of the African countries or how about the Serbs and Croatians. Is that America's fault too? You've got Muslims killing Muslims in Iraq, Afganistan, Indonesia--that's called a civil war, by the way. How do you rationalize that kind of infighting? It's not American Muslims doing the killing. It's natives killing natives. No doubt what you do is ok because you aren't an American.

I'm confused and wonder why would everyone listen to USA? Who do they think they are? The only thing that really annoys me is Americans keep on saying "hey, we're only unnotized citizens". Should we reply "Hey, but you guys voted for him twice!" I mean, I wonder what's on their heads! Well, Saddam Husein is a bad guy, but Bush isnt better than him! He already mocked on our (muslims) face by hanging a person during Eidil Adha! Cant that be postpone lets say, 1 day later? Well, I think Bush should be hung too! And I'm looking forward to that day!

We are not perfect, us Americans, but there are far more national upon national crime that we have ever committed over there. Nobody talks about the schools built, school books given/etc generally at the soldiers own expense. But if you feel the need to be Politically Correct, go ahead and bash the greatest country on earth. No nationality is perfect we all have a&&holes, but US bashing seems to be a pasttime for the uninformed & ignorant.

well we shud forgive n let the god decide whois the sinner i think its not our business to punish him, if he is worong
