  What a double back-handed comment by Coleman and the U.S... (1) Is that only a low colonel is direted to make a apology of sorts. sigh. (2) He words the apology as a put down.

  But what else would you expect from an ignorant Whitey.

  The Babylon civilization gave us the 24 hour day measurement; the 365 day year; ambulatory care; catarac surgery; assay for high blood sugar and ways to attenuate it; ways to measure the size of the earth; the orbits of planets (yes, they had realized that the earth orbits the sun); the concept of money and usage of coins; recorded in great details the the celestial sphere and many other things.

  Tell Colonel Coleman that it would make the whole world feel good if he could get his Marines out of a country that doesn’t belong to them. Make our day, Col. Coleman and also apologize for invading and occupying a country that never attacked the US, and directly causing the violent deaths of several hundred thousand Iraqis. Colonel Coleman is incapable of making an honest apology for anything, in that he resembles his Commander in Chief and his Secretary of Defense, both of which display the same ugly arrogance that he so amply displays in this statement to the Iraqi people. The US military is filled with assholes like this Colonel.

    Your last sentence could be more accurately phrased:

    The US is filled with assholes like this Colonel.

    — -

    And, in fact, if we were to broaden the scope of your reply by taking the focus away from the colonel and the other two personalities mentioned, you would be much more accurately describing the cross section of the American street.

    Folks who read blogs like there do a fair amount of projection and think that other Americans are like them and that a few handfulls are like the colonel, Bush, Rummy, etc... But if you were to carefully examine day to day existence, most all Ameicans are like the colonel. It is one of the main reasons that this war has gone on for 3 years, and it is the reason for the destruction of the heritage of Iraq, and it is one of the reasons that the war will ontinue well into the future.

    Readers interested can search the archives and find my posts/replies repeating this consistently from the start of the conflict; before a time when large permenant bases made the news; before the billion dollar American embassy campus construction was started.

    In due time, some may realize the tribal (and not nationalistic) thought that incorporate violent superiority is the basis for both colonel Coleman’s inhumane burst, and by extension the war.

    I think you are being somewhat unfair. I am from england and do not believe that most Americans are like this at all. Having been to America and lived there for a while you see the way they are bombarded with media that does nothing but tell them that the outside world is evil and that they are truly fighting for peace when the opposite is true. The American people do not have the luxury of freedom of information except those liberal enough to search for it. In fact the same could be said of most countries. We blindly follow our leaders and assume they know what they are doing when common sense obvoiusly tells us otherwise we shrug and accept there is little we can do about it anyhow.

    The American people are and have been lied to since 9/11 and during and it is understandable that they want revenge and that is want the government banked on. That is why they planned it so well. But now the American public is beginning to question the wisdom of actions taken post 9/11. Sooner or later they will realise as i have is that if you want to fight the major terrorists in the world they should go the white house or maybe the pentagon. The American government are the world leaders in terrorism followed closely by Britain. Which is why the war on terror is actually a joke. Like 1984 it is a war that will and can never end.

    The people who put the plans into action were far more clever in their scheme than even Hitler and the propaganda that is used is so effective that again it is understandable why the americans are duped. The A,mericans believe they are free but they are not. Do not be so harsh on a population that is only marred by the leadership that serves itself and not the people.

    I’m from America and I don’t care if I have to be as brutal, and as harsh and as in your-in-face as I gotta be, Dan, for reason and the truth no longer matter here. "OH, judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts".
    The shit is perilously close to hitting the proverbial fan, bloke, & this is no time to make nicey-nice with a population that remains fast asleep & soporophically cocooned in their ignorance; a population blinded by their false sense of superiority is an idiot population. We can fault the mainstream media and a powerful central government all we want, but when push comes to shove, we are still individually responsible for choosing to use our own heads, utilizing our own powerful minds, lead our own destinies, instead of the sleep of the walking dead that most Americans have chosen as their vacuous reality. I have little patience and hardly any respect for a nation that now believes that Strength is Ignorance, Peace is War and Freedom is Tyranny.
