Surprise!
Not all Americans hate Muslims.
Not all Americans support the war in Iraq.
Not all Americans voted for GWB the second time ... or the first time for that matter.
Now, let's dispense the hasty generalizations.

Where / How did the phrase "Honest-to-Goodness" originate?

What does it really mean?

When those high school drop-outs, turned "soldiers", and subsequently proven cowards; for attacking a defenseless 3rd world country, you call the US military embarked on their death and destruction campaign in Iraq did any of them ask each and every Iraqi citizen if they agreed and/or supported one issue or another before bombing them to smithereens? I don't think so!

So do you really think it's important that you point out that some of you "may" not go along with "everything" the US does even though you pay taxes and thus fund such atrocities?

What EXACTLY is the point of this stupid thread? Are you patronizing the Iraqi people?

Okie dokie! . . . I've just looked it up . . .

"Honest to Goodness" means "Really; for sure" . . . (no hyphens needed).

So I don't get the title of your thread.

Get Real; I think you need to get your head out of your ass!! You are the real COWARD...where you spouting diatribes when Saddam was killing Kurds, and gasing Iraqis in Jibril. Or do you find it convenient and easy to disparage America and it's policies. You sit behind a desk read some crap online or in some arcane book and voila you're a scholar. As an ex soldier, I've done more to help people then you ever have nor will. You are lucky you have the ability and the freedom to espouse your beliefs. BTW...this coward has a Master Degree in Homeland Security Management and still pays taxes.

GorillaGal, are you able to define what a 'Real American' is?.

I think it would be difficult for ANY nation to make an assessment of it's subjects in such short verse.

America is probably one of the the least able to do so, considering it's origin and subsequent history.

It would be interesting to read your own definition as it would appear that world events have placed this 'Real American' in a particularly bad light, hence the reason for why you have to come to the defence of a statement from one of them.

If you consider yourself to be the epitome of a 'Real American', allow me to inform you that you are not, you are far too charming.

In my humble opinion.

greek.god, I think it is a little unfair of you to launch such an attack on Get Real since you have not dealt with the subject he based his comments on.

The actions of Saddam Hussein PRIOR to the unlawful attack on Iraq are not under discussion, nor should they be.

References to what happened to the Kurdish and other subjects of that unfortunate nation, (gassed by the products supplied by the US incidentally) are becoming an alternative excuse for the murderous onslaught of US and other forces upon the innocents of Iraq.

Saddam's execution was a convenient method of removing the possibility of him revealing the truth behind many of the actions he was obliged to take in order to preserve his own position, whether or not we agreed with them is a matter for further debate, certainly we cannot rely on the information we receive via the media for an insight to his actions.

As we are not citizens of Iraq, we should be a little more cautious in proffering our opinions on matters of which we have scant knowledge.

I am sure you were a brave and proficient soldier, there are many among us, unfortunately we often found ourselves in situations where we were committed to point our weapons in the wrong direction.

In my humble opinion.

Excellent point. That had never crossed my mind before and now it makes perfect sense.
