OK forget the like part, the accept part will be enough.

Who thinks someone could kill enough Americans that eventually we would accept them?

Would that be possible? Are Iraqi people any different than American people when it comes right down to it?

7. and then: Reservation
Something pretty familiar with what we are doing over there. Didn't our ancestors do something like that over here?

It's a Class War. The class that has everything wants more. And the class that struggles ends up doing the fighting for them. National borders don't matter. It's a Global Class.

When you kill their children, they invite you in for tea. Doncha know.

4. The fact that that is a commonplace amongst Americans is proof that we think Iraqis are subhumans.

Who thinks someone foreign could tall America who the pResident should be?

Who thinks someone foreign could tell the whole World what American Christians are about?

Who thinks someone foreign could tell America what other countries it can associate with?

Who thinks someone foreign could come into our country and take over control of one of our natural resources?

Who thinks someone foreign could tell America what kind of economic system is should have?

6. Howard Zinn puts it best
"We are not trying to bring Democracy to Iraq, we are trying to bludgeon them into submission"

The Chinese killed most of the native Taiwanese. Now they have no choice.
