I won't deny the gravity of the situation if US marines did what they are accused of, nor the tragidy that was caused regardless of the outcome.
However, this is a poorly written article on many level. Particularly the end part about British soldier. To imply that such incidents did not happen with British soldiers is shady at best, to further imply that this is how all American soldiers act is even worse.

If we had never gone to iraq...We could of provided over 13 MILLION
students four-year scholarships at public universities.
Imagine the difference that would of made for America as a whole.
Compaire that to the "difference" we're making right now since we invaded iraq.

But Dustin, what's more important, winning Bush a re-election and vengeance on his daddy's assassination attempt or education?

Just because someone criticizes america does not mean they hate it or don't want to live there or want to live in IRAN of all places.
We criticize America because we want it to be better. It's constructive criticism.
I don't believe that. It's repeated, in some cases it's expected (depending on the poster), it's predictable, and it's often partisan.
It's the same-old, same-old.
It's like living in the 1960's again, but the hippies of today are even more unreasonble.

So I suppose you live on the side of a mountain like a cave man, because you don't believe in trying to improve where you live?
The only way to improve where I live is to drive the immigrants back out. This place was paradise, until the cultural refugees from America flooded in.
This place was a wilderness. There weren't even any grocery stores. I loved it.
If they tax me out of here, I'm going back to the wilderness. This time, I know a place where I can live the rest of my life in peace.
I only hope I can convince Mrs. Huntster to go with me.......

I will then take in on very solid ground that you would prefer an invasion of US Marines over Saddam's troops given no other choices. Thank you.
If this is incorrect please tell all of us.

What an very anti-american thing to say. Anyone that doesn't fit in with your religious and political views should move out of the USA, huh? You want me to move to Iran while turning the USA into another Iran.

Yes, I guess you must rationalize it that way. Thanks being so frank.
BTW ... go ask the citizens of Kuwait if they agree with you. (Pssst -- that's an entire country, and guess who's still there.)

How the hell do you know what most of the citizens of Kuwait think? Not even half of the citizenry has the right to vote, there's no freedom of speech, and most of the people who live in Kuwait are foreigners.

Of course, we can always look at what evidence there is to check our opinions and biases ...
Yes, it shows quite clearly that the US and Saddam were/are on equal grounds there.
(PS: Sorry for taking a bit to get back to you ... my life got in the way.

Yeah, a link to what looks like a semi-official photo-op...
Now that's credible evidence of what the Kuwaiti people really think!
Heck, they might think Dubya is the best thing since sliced bread and Hussein to be the new Hitler, but we wouldn't know it.

US troops to get ethics training after Haditha massacre
Training? Soldiers need to be trained to not kill innocent civilians?
