Oh man, I can see all those Amerikkkan idiots flaming this...
Wow, if video would have been invented 300 years ago, I bet George Washington would have done the same thing...

just because they show you some inspiring imagery, words, and music doesn't make their cause right.

US Soldiers should seek refuge with iraqi fighters? Who the fuck do they think they're kidding? They would be taken hostage and beheaded on camera so fast you can't even describe it.

They would be given the choice to convert to islam, and if they didn't then they'd be killed.

Fuck you amerikkkans. Shut up with your god damned patriotism.
They would escort those soldiers to safety, it's true, but not because they're morally superior as they make themselves out to be; a defecting soldier is a public relations boon.
This is a propaganda campaign, just like most of anything the US puts out. You can look at this and see the similarities between this and Fox News... See that they believe what they do for the same reason you believe anything you do... If you can't see that you're a worse douchebag than I can even imagine, and you should go back to your cave.
I will put one big qualification on this speil; even agreeing that this is just a dumbass war to get at iraqi oil, can you really say it's not in your best interest to get at it? And what are the iraqis going to do with it? Should they have the right to it just because they happen to live on the land above it? What if by the time they move to a position to technologically benefit from all that oil, we've already moved beyond it as an energy source?
If you want to support the war, by all means do so. I'm not a moral person myself, and I won't pass judgement on anyone else for believeing that making people poor who would have been poor anyway is a small price to pay for our modern standard of living. But don't lie to yourself, don't make yourself think you're any more just than they are. As far as I can see, you and your enemy in the streets and mosques of Iraq are just animals engaged in a petty territory battle.
I don't even believe in a moral high ground. I guess I've just been reading too much Nietzche.
