"There are American officials who consider Iraq as if it were one of their villages, for example Hillary Clinton and Carl Levin. They should come to their senses."
Unfortunately, their senses are the problem.
"Concerning American raids on Shula (a northern Shiite neighborhood) and Sadr City (the Shiite slum enclave in east Baghdad). There were big mistakes committed in these operations. The terrorist himself should be targeted not his family."When they want to detain one person, they should not kill 10 others. These are mistakes which we have to deal with. We will not allow the detaining of innocent people. Only the criminals should be detained," the angry al-Maliki declared.
Well, now he's just getting carried away. We're killing insurgents, not civilians. And those people harboring insurgents are not innocent. And the stray kid or two is just collateral damage.
On the other hand, it seems to me that the reports I've been reading and pictures I've been seeing commonly have the Iraqi police doing some pretty intensive cleaning up of the population as well.
And, Al...the whole world is one of our villages. Do what you're told, be quiet, and let us do what we want.
....we will anyway.
Hillary's book is "It Takes A Village." "It" apparently being the US military. And don't forget--Colin Powell was one of the Village People. (http://www.command-post.org/desk/archives/capt.lon82607021755.indonesia_gala_powell_lon826.jpg)
