Probably the same army that is slapping Islamic/Syrian militants around in Iraq like so many little girls.

Your point was an anti-American, anti-western rant. What kind of a scum bag does it take to trash talk a country that has given you hope and freedom and so much more? The fact that you voice such opinions tells me everything I need to know about you and your culture, not to mention your mother. But than, I suppose someone who had nothing to be grateful for could be expected to teach gratitude to her son.
Hello... is there a brain in there? His rant is directed at this administration, which is full of inept, corrupt, war-mongering buffoons. (And we have people like you to thank for that, BTW.) Here we have yet another person who's tired of this administration's crap and all you can do is insinuate that he's nothing but a slimey foreigner who should keep his trap shut in the name of gratitude. I wonder how you would have reacted if his name had been "John Smith" instead of "Farhan Noor Qureshi".
I cannot take anything the Bush administration does seriously. The corruption, the cynical disregard for humanity, the cronyism and incompetence, all wrapped in a slimey flag of ultra-marketed nationalism repulses me. -- consdubya from fark.com.

Equating the activities of the intelligence agencies of a country he lives in to those of some murderous tyranny in the middle east is not a slam at Bush, it is a slam at the US and the west in general. That is about as vile and low as a person can get. If he trully believes that crap he should at least have the decency to leave (and take you with him) and stop using the freedoms those institutions help provide to him to spread his propaganda. If he has the courage to go to Syria and make the same comments about them, then I would have some respect for him.

No, it is a clash of civilizations because that is what the people who are attacking us are fighting for. I think we should take that threat seriously. You are one of those who wishes to obfuscate that threat and lull the west into a deluded perspective about what exactly is at stake in this issue. Just because you don't care about which civilization wins doesn't mean that it isn't a clash of civilizations.

No, you are helping to promote that misunderstanding. No action that our intelligence agencies or military have ever taken were done in a political vacume. The US spent the bulk of the 20th century saving the people of the world, including the middle east, from a return to true European imperialism. We may have made mistakes along the way, we may have made messes where we didn't need to, but the sum total of our efforts is a freer and more prosperous planet. As a nation we deserve credit for that not contempt, and I for one am not going to apologize to any fucking Muslim for having saved their sorry, ungrateful asses.
