us marine kills wounded, unarmed man in a mosque in al-falluja
Thirteen:
this marine is fucked...even if he tried to say that it was a mercy killing, the Geneva convention has a rule against shooting injured people. An officer got convicted of murder and derilection of duty last year for killing an injured man.
honestly though, that camera man is an asshole, i understand you got some dirty shit on tape and it's evidence of a crime, but he's putting more people's lives at danger just so his name can be in the limelight.

It wasn't a mercy killing. if you saw the video you would see that the Marine thought the guy was dangerous.
Why does this thread have 30 replies while the savage killing of a female charity worker only has 2?

If the other thread had 30 replies, then the soldier and the terrorist would be on the same level as far as morals go. Personally, I see it the same way you do, the U.S. soldiers are just as horrible as those terrorists. :)

There's a big difference. I agree, both the things are brutal and wrong: the death of an injured man, and the death of an innocent man. But you cant say soldiers and terrorists are doing the same things. There's a big big difference between them, man. A soldier is fighting a war against other "soldiers". I agree it's a wrong war, but it's a war. A terrorist is fighting who? How? By killing innocent people and the Iraqi citizen in "the name of Allah"? It's a very big difference. Both the things are wrong, i repeat. But terrorists are even worse, cause they are doing it "for Allah". That's the most dangerous thing. Allah has nothing to do with it. There's no reason to scream Allah, to thank Allah or to kill for Allah. It aint no Jihad. That's pure bullshit. Exactly like the reason Bush gave us: "we're fighting to have a free Iraq". Both are lies. But the terrorists are killing innocent people by purpose. It's their only reason and target: to kill innocent people. They did in with the Twin Towers, they did it with that disco in Bali, they did it in Turkey by bombing a Jewish church, they did it in Madrid, they did it by killing italian Carabinieri's, they did it by bombing Red Cross and UN, they do it everytime they kill innocents. I cant accept it.

Listen up... most of our enemies in Iraq aren't terrorists, they're Iraqi citizens fighting what they see as an oppression, a colonization, etc. They didn't come here and kill our citizens, we went there. I'm not defending terrorism, but when it comes to the war on Iraq, I can't say that the Iraqi insurgents are at fault. Terrorists kill innocent people because they think that maybe the leaders of the countries those innocent people are from will get the off their land, out of their country. Obviously it's dumb for them to think that because it's evident that our government has no regard for human lives when it comes to taking over countries and benefitting financially.
