Originally posted by ahlamalek personnaly i didn't see any iraqi soldier dead on american tv too, I saw dead civilians getting carried away tho. There's something that was shown on American TV that enraged the Arab world. I don't know if you saw them, Soldiers giving candies and treats to Iraqi children, I saw it on CNN. That is a cheap shot... "hey kid, have some candies while I invade your country and kill your cousins!" This is propaganda and inapropriate to show, but I guess no one sees it this way in the USA.

I never saw the candy thing either. I did see an Iraqi bang his shoe against a mural of Saddam Huessein. It could be propoganda but at the same time is it so difficult to discount that many Iraqis are actually glad to see Saddam go? I read something that caught my attention somewhere. It was a very wierd situation where an arab tv crew was interviewing Iraqis who voiced displeasure on camera about the US war, but noted that off camera they became polar opposites and expressed jubilation towards the time when US soldiers removed Saddam from power ... I swear to God it was a pro-Arab website. At any rate I'll try to find it again. I think that it just goes to show that it's very difficult to assess the situation right now.

hehe dude, I believe you, you don't have to prove it. No one likes Saddam in Iraq or this board.

About that saddam getting banged with a shoe... hehe no surprise either Propaganda? maybe, if people in Iraq see those CNN images. But I don't think anyone would cry foul over this anywhere else.

Originally posted by occrider Haha so if your dead you won't mind if I spit on you and kick you a couple times? Or maybe start mutilating you? You might not care but if I take pictures and send them to your family I would imagine I would get quite a different reaction. That's the point I'm trying to get across ...

I really wouldn't care what you'd do to me after I died. I'd only hope you wouldn't mutilate me so much that none of my organs are usable anymore. And yes, I'd like to see you dead, but only because you killed me, not because of what you did afterwards. Same goes if you'd kill anyone I really liked. I'd probably go and kill you, yes, but it's because you killed someone close to me, not because of what you did with the corpse later on. What you did afterwards doesn't harm the person you killed anymore because that person doesn't exist anymore. So the corpse is totally irrelevant and I really don't care what's done with it. If you did something disgraceful/disguisting with the corpse, I'd have more reason to kill you, but only because of the fact that you then show yourself to be a psychopath that enjoys killing and needs to be removed from this world as soon as possible.
