The US waged a war against Iraq, so an iraqi working for americans that later moves to the US is betraying his country and peers. It sure may happen for good reasons, but the Iraq invasion isn`t one.
- grzm 10y agoDepending on how the US War of Independence turned out, Washington would have been a traitor or a patriot. While either might be literally true depending on the outcome, it dodges the issue of how you view his actions. Do you think he was a traitor?
- owebmaster 10y agoA patriot of a new born nation and a traitor of an old one. Where do you put the iraqi in this example? Is he Washington the traitor of Iraq or Washington the patriot of US?
- grzm 10y agoI agree that the situation is complex: that was the point of my comment. Your initial comment implied he maybe a traitor. I want to know if you'll definitively say whether or not you think he is. Implications can be more insidious than outright statements. They provide cover for the accuser while casting doubt on the accused. I'll take any response off the air.
- owebmaster 10y agoIf he was a Brazilian, I`d think he is a traitor. Iraq is different from my country, and of course, he is not a traitor of his personal needs for surviving. It is not up to me call him a traitor, but I do think that his peers can.
