PRO-U.S. MAYOR HAS TARGET ON HIS BACK

January 30, 2005 -- BAGHDAD The man replacing the mayor of Baghdad who was assassinated for his pro-American loyalties says he is not worried about his ties to Washington.
In fact, he'd like to erect a monument to honor President Bush in the middle of the city.
"We will build a statue for Bush," said Ali Fadel, the former provincial council chairman. "He is the symbol of freedom."
Fadel's predecessor, Ali al-Haidari, was gunned down Jan. 4 when militants opened fire on his armor-covered BMW as it traveled with a three-car convoy.
Fadel said he received numerous threats on his life as the council chairman, and expects to get many more in his new post.
"My life is cheap," Fadel said. "Everything is cheap for my country."
As Iraq prepared for a volatile election that is being watched across the world, Fadel heaped praise on the United States.
Fadel acknowledged that many in his country appear ungrateful for America's foreign assistance. He said most Iraqis are still in "shock" over the changes, and need time to adjust.
Any public monument to Bush is likely to further incense terrorist forces, who have attacked American troops and their supporters for months.
Fadel said he is undaunted.
"We have a lot of work and we are especially grateful to the soldiers of the U.S.A. for freeing our country of tyranny," Fadel said.
As for his own protection, the new mayor will be traveling in a new $150,000 SUV complete with bulletproof windows and flat-resistant tires.

If you REALLY believe that, it is really, really sad. Literally sad, not to insult you. It's really depressing some people think that shit.

Japan, Germany, France, South Korea, Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe, Afghanistan, Iraq......all owe their freedom and democracy either fully or partially to the United States. Why is it so difficult for you to admit that?
And what has Germany ever done to make the world a better place?

So standing up for something you believe in under threat of violence is dumb?

what is pretty dumb is that he wants a statue of bush at this moment. when there's peace it would be more appropiate. there would also be a bigger chance nobody will take it down. :P

You see a man who's doing something dumb, I see a man willing to die for what he believes in.

I'm not going to pull shit outta my ass telling you that Germany's foreign policies have always been adorable, cause that is just not true. I do acknowledge when people who were in power in Germany did shit and do shit. Further, there isnt a competition between the US and Germany right now, ok?
The whole point is that what your country did to Iraq is not adorable. Pulling propaganda talk out of your ass won't change that.

i see it as innappropiate to be putting up statues of the leader of the occupying coalition, the occupation which many iraqis are against. maybe in a few years time if things turn out ok it maybe appropriate but right now something like that is reminisant of the saddam era and is only going to cause further aggression, resentment and divisions in iraq

Glad you see it inappropriate. You're in the UK right? Funny that this Iraqi doesn't see it as inappropriate.

so its one iraqi's oppinion, one who is probably in power because of his pro american connections, many iraqis resent bush do you think they will see it as appropriate?

Ok, we already clarified that you're a retard, so I'm not gonna go there.... but are you just capable of any rational thought? How about the number of American soldiers that have been killed.... that should tell you how we "know" this... of course there are a lot of happy Iraqis, but you can't argue that there aren't just as many who aren't happy...

So all that matters is someone is willing to die for what they believe in? There are a long list of people willing to die for their beliefs. Not all of them are good people. Your metric is retarded.

No doubt there are some angry ones and happy ones. But the way he's saying this, as if the entire population hates america.

Germany is the world leader in the development environmentally friendly manufacturing processes. Germans are also some of the best machinists in the world. Not to mention the philosophical contributions Germany has shared with the rest of the world. Let's not be so naive to think the U.S. is the only country that matters in the world, and no one else does anything.

no its a divided country many iraqis doesn't mean all iraqis it doesn't even necessarily mean a majority, however as i'm sure you'll agree not all iraqis view the american presence as a good thing that it is why its not appropriate right now especially when it isn't anywhere near peaceful.
