[random guy]

I'll give you a hint: he was watching the only thing that's been on the news for the past 48 hours.

Holy crap omfgwtf was that? (I know what it is :/)

[Cominus]

Whats the bicycle rack for?

[random guy]

I thought the cartoon was pretty clear...it's supposed to be set in an iraqi prison, and one of the army guys is watching that beheading video on his computer, and remarking on how cruel it is. Meanwhile, one of the Iraqi prisoners is being used as a bike rack.

Oh come on, have we even gotten even for 9-11 yet (in terms of people killed). I suggest we drop a few nukes, call it a day, and fire Bush.

Dammit, that is the problem with you Americans (and that answers your question, cominus). Let me spell it out for you really slowly: NEITHER IRAQ, NOR SADDAM HUSSEIN, HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH 9/11! For that matter, neither did the country Afghanistan, apart from hiding bin Laden after the event. In fact, Saddam and bin Laden hated each other (that is, until the US started attacking Iraq, I think that changed Hussein's mind a bit. al Qaeda is a terrorist organisation which belongs to no country. Got that? IF there were Iraqis working for al Qaeda, it would have been because people from alot of countries were members of al Qaeda. Honestly, when Timothy McVeigh orchestrated the Oklahoma bombing, Americans didn't go on a witch hunt for every white guy, or every christian, they could find. That's because they realised that McVeigh's actions were not represenetative of the (white) people of America - just like bin Laden's actions weren't typical of the average muslim in Afghanistan, or for that matter, the average Muslim: because that's what this has turned into: the west against (middle eastern) muslims. And that's a disguisting generalisation

Well, just so we don't miss anything, that's why I said a "few" nukes. One would probably take care of it, but 2, now that's just making sure.

Dude, your thinking is just flocked up. Let me put it in terms you'll understand: imagine if someone from Texas blew up a building in California, and the Californians retaliated by invading Arizona!

Now, does that make any sense to you?
