    I agree to a point, however not totally. She knows enough to say what we are doing in Iraq is wrong and there she is correct. As to President Bush being a murderer, I think he should be made to answer for war crimes, so she isn't far off in that assessment. Our soldiers being racist, I'm sure there are more than a few, I'm also sure most are just trying to do the mission they were given and not kill anyone unless absolutely necessary to defend themselves. She's fifteen, still a child really, we sure have her screwed up already. I wonder how the Iraqi children feel about our being there to liberate them and offer them a better life?

    Source(s): Edit. I apologize to the young lady. She struck such an emotional chord in me I forgot to say, I would be proud if you were my daughter young lady. There is still hope for America with people like you alive. Bravo to you.

    Salaam Roshni....

    I stopped her at 1:30. (Too much false garbage).

    1.President Bush is a the President of the United States Of America.

    2.Well war is war.

    3.That kid says

    "I know soliders"..bs....

    4.This crazy girl is to young to understand about war.

    I want her to join the U.S. mililtary, instead of talking trash about U.S. soliders & Preesident Bush.

    5.This is not her, this is her mother or father talking this trash.

    6.I think her political garbage is bunch of bs & a disgrace towards America.

    7.I don't care if 250,000,000 million americans agree bc, not every solider is "racist" .

    8.Not every solider is a racist & this crazy ugly hipy claims all soliders are racist......Not true so therefore, she is not right & needs an medical dr. for herself.

    9.A solider - is a human being doing their duty & to come back alive. However, there will always have crazy garbage people in America that thinks they know about war.....

    10.Those soliders she refer as "racist" are from the state of Tennesse.

    There are two types of soliders:

    a.Good soliders

    &

    B.Bad soliders

    Does she realy know about American politics and policies??

    No.

    She shall be arrested & serve the Iraqi war, so she can taste what U.S. soliders have to put up with.

    I think she is way off base. She is using the media (which sensationalizes everything) to form her opinion. She thinks that all the military is "racist" against Iraqis. This is an impossibility because "Iraqi" is not a race. She also needs to understand that the military men and women are in a hard position to be in, they may end up shooting one of those people over there so they have to remain detached and lump them all together, otherwise it would drive them insane. I wish the youth of today would try to understand what they are watching rather than just react to it.

    I think the 'Body Language' of a person tells a lot about him/her.

    I saw the first 20 seconds of the video & that was enough for me to . To be honest i haven't listened to it & i don't want to.

    The girl is quite over-confident & over-confident people always make mistakes. I don't want to waste my time on that damn video.

    She may have said something true but then what? her style was ridiculous. That is not the way you prove a point.

    Cheers!!!

    & hey congrats,Mushy is back,lol

    I don't think it's that big a deal. After all, she's the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. She's supposed to be knowledgeable. I'm just kidding. Nancy may have written the girl's speech, but she's clearly too young to be Nancy.

    Reminds me of the time I was 14 years old and i awoke from my slumber of ignorance. Realising that governments do lie to their own people was an epiphany.

    Watching and listening to this young girl fills me with hope that American youth can see beyond the bullcrap and are awakened to the realities of the world and not the rose tinted 'patrotic' image the American establishment would have them believe.

    However, the most moving thing was the wrath and indignation this young girl felt towards her government. Her eyes and voice tone are filled with compassion for the suffering of her fellow man.

    This lady is first and foremost, a citizen of this planet and secondly an American citizen.

    Proud to be non American

    While she does have quite a few valid points, she also has some of her facts mixed up. And for a 15 year old, she's got one heck of a filthy mouth.

  • 1 decade ago

    I don't really think she has much of a clue mate, I think she's just more afraid and sick of watching and hearing about the tragedies, all over the world, somehow bright kid, but watches and listens to too much terror that's going on, she needs to step outside her room and go shopping, or take up another hobby. May I ask you your thoughts please? cheers.

    no, she's an idiot. i'm sure there are a few soldiers who are racist towards iraqis, just as there are a few racists in every walk of like. but to paint all the soldiers with that broad brush is dispicable. she is a long way from realizing reality.
