Who says so?
That's a good news. America is doing a good job, eliminating terrorists before they have a chance to inflict damage upon Americans. I wonder how many of these protestors were throwing stones at Saddam? Oppss..their heads will be chopped off very neatly and presented to Saddam and Uday on a platter should they ever even open their mouths let alone throw stones.

Perhaps, you should ask how many more terrorists have just been created.

basically you are saying that before war it was Saddam killing Iraqis, and now it is US troops... so there is no difference then?

And here was me thinking that the great nation went there to liberate them from oppression, but the Iraqis are learning that there is not much difference between the Republican guard and the American army. Only that the former was known to them the latter murders them while harping on about liberating them. The only liberation going on is of the Iraqi souls from their bodies by the invaidng terrorists.
When Americans exercise their freedom of speech, they generally refrain from firing bullets at the police or military personel while doing so.
The Constitution protects the right of Americans to bear arms.
The Constitution protects the right of Americans to free speech.
There is no provision in the Constitution that combines these rights into a provision that states: "Congress shall make no laws abridging a person's right to fire bullets at police officers while talking."
Those are good rules. Iraqis ought to have those rights to and govern themselves accordingly.
Nadia, that's why I support an ongoing and contineous elimination of terrorists. No matter what it takes.
The comments in this one little thread are a microcosm of how the majority of Muslims around the world (as well as many western Europeans) will perceive this latest incident.

Now please explain to me why this car from this confrontation was riddled with bullets. This car could not have been a part of the protest. Yet it has obviously been a substantial target.
If this town is full of Saddam supporters, it may also be filled with the Fedayeen looking to create an incident. If indeed that town is full of Fedayeen, the towns people would not dare give a contradictory account of a firefight to the press.

I think you are probably correct. The FACTS never seem to get in the way of some good anti-American rhetoric. Regardless of the truth, a "majority of Muslims around the world (as well as many western Europeans)" will choose to believe and report that no one fired bullets at the American troops.

Have you tried asking asking the child-killing US occupation army which has once killed inncocent civilians with it's bullets?
Have you got any proof that the car was involved in the demo. It could have been parked there. Or was it carrying children which your terrorists took as fidayeen and sprayed it with bullets. The photgraph tells more about the trigger happy nature of your invaders than anything else.

Just like you will never believe that your army is trigger happy and only too eager too spray innocent civilians with bullets.
Hurting innocent Iraqi's only hurts the U.S. There are those who oppose the U.S. and will do anything to hurt them, even if it means putting the life of innocent Iraqis in danger, as in this case. While Saddams regime has fallen elements of it are still around.
And the americans here just accept the death of 6 Iraqi children. What if they were american? Would it have been fine even then?
UTD and Myvoice, which news source said iraqis fired on them?
**
What am i missing here - according to witnesses at the scene, the protestors were not armed. What possible reason can you have for shooting at them, therefore? These were civilians. Some six children are now dead. 75 individuals treated at a hospital for injuries. According to witnesses, the demonstrators were unarmed, which in effect means that a group of unarmed civilians were shot at - for no other reason, i can see, other than the fact that they were protesting against (not for) the US.
Witnesses said that the demonstrators, who had been protesting at a local school, had not been armed. They said that the protest had been peaceful.(Source).
Accept their deaths? No, I hope those who fired upon the U.S. and in turn put the lives of innocent Iraq's in danger are hunted down.

Come on tell who is claiming they were fired on? Give us names and sources?
I will repost this from another thread. What better day and place to execute the Fedayeen plan than Saddam’s birthday in a town that is still filled with Saddam supporters?
"A repentant member of the Fedayeen Saddam, a militia loyal to the former regime, told The Christian Science Monitor in a recent interview that his orders had been to wait until the end of the war, and then stage incidents that would cause Iraqi civilian casualties that could be blamed on the Americans. "
