i think the main cause for concern is a subconscious thing. there are illegal things going on there, and someone has to be blamed. people know subconsciously that these illegal things are happening, and can't quite tell that that's what's bothering them. i think the only reason half this crap was said by the media/fanatics/etc. was to further blind people. there's nothing wrong with the american troops being over there, they're doing their job, it's just that some are doing... questionable things in the meantime, and by some, i mean a VERY small percentage, which screws up the image of the rest. imagine their morale... poor guys get blamed for things a few stupid people decided would benefit them.
i think lots of the ''conspiracies'' aren't actually conspiracies so much as a blinding by those who want the public to think differently. if the public speaks up in the wrong way, eventually something has to be done about it, that something is usually exactly what the public think they want, to stop further issues with the public of course. but this is exactly what those with strange opinions want, if they can influence the public in countries not affected by the current situation, imagine what's happening to the countries that are. these countries are dependant upon the help of troops to save their families and jobs and houses and children, if one bad influence sets these people off, they're going to trust the wrong people and most likely ruin or lose their lives....
i don't know how much of this will be agreed with, but i know subjects like this are rather touchy, so, before flaming, please do not misinterpret what i've said, and if you do, tell me the reason for the flaming. by all means i will accept criticism for my opinions, but let's get one thing straight. i support these people who are fighting for the protection of others. nobody else, only those. if anyone is doing otherwise, including people who may be in the American army, i don't support them.
rant over... sorta...
