what do you think of this

for everyone that thinks the US warmongers jumped the gun and opened fire for no reason on that van of women and children

Quote:

Northwest of the capital, three coalition troops were killed and two were wounded Friday when a car bomb exploded at a checkpoint about 11 miles away from the strategic Hadithah Dam, Central Command said.

Officials said a pregnant woman got out of a car and began screaming in fear at the checkpoint and the car exploded as the troops approached the vehicle. The woman and the car's driver were also killed.

It’s obvious that they are using women and children to carry out terror attacks against their will for propaganda purposes. Pretty sick if you ask me but what I expect from a brutal regime such as this.

The regime itself requested people attack the US.
Its up to the civilians themselves if they hate americans enough to do that.

I don’t think that is the case here. It seems that this woman was forced into doing this is she left the car screaming in terror. I don’t think this was a case where a pregnant woman decided to kill both herself and her baby just to kill a few soldiers, rather a case where one of Saddams terror squad goons grabbed a pregnant woman off the street and forced her to do this at gun point.

We have no idea who the guy in the van with her was.
It could be her husband and he's really into doing this.

Anyway, even if it was a group that pun a gun to his head and told him to do it, they had to drive miles to get to that checkpoint.
They could have just gotten out.

So it could be anything.
I would imagine its people doing it for their hatred of america.

No I would disagree. I think a majority of the Iraqi people are glad the coalition forces are there. Others just need more convincing due to state brainwashing. When people see for themselves that the coalition is there to rid them of Saddam and to bring in humanitarian aide more will come around.
