Haha!! That's so stupid it's funny!! More terror has been bred in Iraq and the middle east than will ever been bred in America! You must celebrate 9/11 every year with your friends and have a feast. Well I hope my friends in the Marines bomb your ass while you celebrate with your terrorist friends!!
Peace

Of course Iraq is in deep terror after US and NATO invasion. And of course I donΒ΄t celebrate 9/11 even it was made by US, as one of the measures to legitimate war in the midle east. Leave the FOX news has a info reference before typing. They are burning your brain out.

You're loopy. And your art is juvenile.

Captain America represents the "authority" that serves the US government and corporations. Is a metaphor that symbolises the marines, the army and other military US forces that serves US corporate interests. suits him well....

Dude, as much as I respect your art and your opinion; It breaks my heart that you do this to a Marvel character, especially one that has been an icon for over sixty years. *is a comic book nerd*

... ive READ every message you were sent ...
and all i can say is , currently im tired of all his propoganda , if it isnt bad enough my countrys econimy was going down the drain when bush was in office ,now its just hit tottal shit storm,thank you Obama and all he as a lib is liberating is the goverment on my rights .....
but truley ive talked to a saudi arabian,(while smosking a blunt i might add XD)
he told me about how the towers fell and said, when you hit a stick how does it fall ... and that truley opened my eyes!!
what he was talking about WAS NOT a thearetical conspiracy , ITS FUCKING FACT !!!!
how the building fell proves the building was loaded with bombs, and im sorry but with all the bombs youd need to take the towers out , it would sound pretty ridiculouse if it was a small jihad unit or Alqeda ....(im sorry my spell check is broken)it was our own country,s massive want of war profatearing , and bushes want to do what his dad could not (take iraq) BUT now we must hand the torch over to obama WHO STILL HAS NOT PULLED US OUT YET !!!!!
the reason obama keeps us in iraq ill never know .... hes sure as shit not trying to help them hes just doing what bush did , but the new troops he sent were called "peace keeprs" and people belived it , but when bush sent peace keepers every one just protested and bitched .
it just goes to show you how MOST americans now a days like to suck a good dick !!!
but on all seriouse manners poderiu i do not support the war in iraq ,nore my own goverment .
i pray that the people of iraq one day find peace , but as long as were there that will never happen , they need to fight for there own freedom and peace !

so you're saying the gov. blew up the twin towers? for real? bro. puff puff pass let me have some of dat.
π: 0 β©: 0
Agree on you almost on every issues you have spoken. There are evidences that the towers didnΒ΄t fall because of the planes. That kind of buildings are supposed to handle with that kind of impact. And the way they felt down, the small explosions that happen in the towers are told by some specialists that were provoqued by explosives. After the fallen towers it happened what we all assist in Iraq: an invasion based on a false premisse ("weapons of mass destruction"), all Iraq is a mess not dut to the US Britain and NATO invasion that provoqued more than 1.000.000 dead iraquis, plus 4.000.000 refugies. You and many american people are very conscious of what happened in Iraq, what happen then in Afgnanistan, in 2004 by bush administration and now in 2009 with obama administration.
I donΒ΄t see Obama as a kind of a sacred savieur that has come to "change" our evil destiny. Behind Obama is a economical and political structure that he must follow, that he must obay and he must represent their interests. Obama is acting according to geo-political interests in middle east region: the IPI (India-Pakistan-Iran) natural gas pipe-line, the oil reserves in Iraq and we must not forget that US and Israel are starting to demonize Iran because they have 10% of the world oil reserves and also a great ammount of natural gas reserves.

about you not beliving obama is a saviour , tell that to half of are retarded population .(no insult im just stating your right)
thats why i hate this day and age ,oil ... just utering the word and big wig capitalists start drooling and there eyes turn red with envy .
and all obama wants is change, when half of the world knows in this economy thats retarded , we need stabillity.
its funny i have better political conversations with(what my goverment would call the enemy)iraqies,afgannys ect.
i find most of you speak more DAMN sense than an american polotician , i mean i talked to my saudi arabian friend and he made me feel retarded .... it goes to show who has the real political intelegence (damn sure aint america the only thing were good at is lying .... hehe no wonder they hate us so much .... America , home of the NOT SO FREE , and land of the IGNORANT ,and brain washed).
im sorry if i seem to be beating around the bush or sumthing im a little sick .
but what i love about this new Obama administration is how they subvert our eyes off the war by "starting" controversal squablings and bikering .... i have no honor left in this nation , nore do i want to fight for this GOD forsaken goverment .
im especially tired of how a black man ,a mexican ,and a woman can have a month to celebrate there history but i cant celebrate my southern history ,and heritage without being called a racist .
ive gone to schools with mostly black students and MY FUCKING NICK NAME WAS CRAKER !!!!!!!!
id say more about the oil crisis in iraq with america trying to take it but .... i cant do shit , im in a nation full of sheepish rebels and zelot liberals .

Disregarding the whole conversation, I love how Captain Iraq somewhat has this Naked Snake look (equipment-wise).

I don't know if you live in Iraq or not (It says Switzerland on your id), but from what I've seen by going there multiple times, is a general consent on wanting US troops there. While I was a little surprised by the poll, I wasn't surprised that of all the countries listed, Iraq was the biggest supporter of US presence. Sadly, America was like three or something >_<

I can agree that factions of iraqis were happy because of the US occupation in Iraq. But you also have to agree that 1.000.000 million people who died, certainly are not happy at all, specialy their families who survived. Counting on other 1.000.000 that are homeless, counting thousands that donΒ΄t have jobs and hospitals, madby, at the end we would have an statitist of more unhappy iraqis than happy iraqis after the US invasion.

I really didn't mean factions. I meant a large chunk of the whole. More people vote than were able before, and the "factions" are the ones blowing up and attacking the polls. And there have not been 1,000,000 civilians killed. Check out [link] for the count of those killed in violent incidents. I know that the entertainment industry makes us out to look like trigger happy lunatics, but the majority of US Marines and other ground forces are pretty clear on our rules of engagement. Number one being do not fire until fired upon.

On Friday, 14 September 2007, ORB (Opinion Research Business), an independent polling agency located in London, published estimates of the total war casualties in Iraq since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 [link]
Even if your number was correct, and your number does not mention all casualties since 2003 till today, only a faction of the numbers, let me ask you something: If US invade your country (think is Maurinania) telling to the public opinion false motives, and if your family and friends died your country was destroyed, were you happy with it? Do you acknwoledge what are was crimes?

I'm an American Marine who is just stationed in Mauritania, but I will answer your question. If the government of the US turned to forcing it's people to do or accept something against it's will, yes. I would no doubt take up arms for what I believe is right. I harbor no ill will to anyone who has ever fired a weapon at me. But like the health care issue now, if it is supported by the masses, whatever my personal feelings on the issue, I will assume it is for the benefit or all. Even if I can't grasp the big picture.

Btw, I'm really glad that we can have this conversation in a civilized manner ^_^. I don't like when people claim their view is the only view, and shut out all outside opinions. You have a lot of valid points, and it's very refreshing to be able to talk to you on a basis such as this!
π: 0 β©: 1
Btw, I'm not denouncing you or your views. Everyone deserves freedom of speech and expression. I just don't like being refereed to as a terrorist. And just so you know, I've never called an Iraqi or an Afghan a terrorist. You have your insurgents, Al-Qaida, and Taliban.
π: 0 β©: 1
Of course I donΒ΄t think american citizans are terrorists. But I think US state has a terrorism history when dealing to some foreign countries, and history show us that. And many americans support this point.
And let me remind you that the invasion of IRaq nothing had to do with Al-Qaeda or Taliban. The reason told to public opinion to justifie the invasion in 2003 was, quoting, "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction". And everybody knows this justification is false, and everybody knows the real reasons for US invasion in Iraq.

I do agree that at times, the US does have an overly strong handed approach to diplomatic concerns. But just remember that some people have seen more than others. The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. While I don't know the contents of everything we found, I do know that one of our Marines had to be treated for mustard gas burns in Rawah. The modern media puts things on the air that it considers entertainment value. We had a reporter with us when we took down an abandoned school house used as an IED factory. That same day we had engineers and working parties on scene to build a new school for the local teens to use. The reporter ran a story about us blowing up a school that had housed 112 students. While it's true that maybe many years ago it did house that many students, it had been held by two gunmen whose own IEDs killed them. The media likes to potray half truths from what I can see. That's why I decided to do my own traveling.

That occupation was ilegal under international law.US shouldnΒ΄t invade Iraq in a first place and the reasons of the invasion were FALSE.
π: 0 β©: 1
Did you ever read the article about the buried missiles?
π: 0 β©: 1
I acwoledge you have your own opinion, you even were there following the orders of your supiriors. I know I will not convince you that millitary occupation in Iraq was ilegal and believe me, there is not a single argument you could point that will make me change my ideas about the ilegitimacy of Iraq occupation and destruction. But I also know that not all ex-soldiers support your view. So, if you want you can take a look at this testimony of an ex-soldiers who was there. [link]

I honestly admit that I agree with a lot that he is saying. Some of it is more personal opinion that fact, but I do agree with most of it. He doesn't really talk about the good that's done though. It's kind of one sided, lol.

You repeat the word "gay" several times.. madby you should get out of the closet.
Congratulations: such a long text with no content, so many words that say nothing. Uau...
π: 0 β©: 1
Saying the US occupied Iraq and destroyed the all country is lying? Madby you should leave the Planet FoxNews or Planet CNN and get down to earth, you brainwashed.
All you can spit are prejudices and left/right nothingness discourses and insulting. If you want to discuss about Iraq do it, if you donΒ΄t have nothing to say just go google and find out what US has done to Iraq.

I dont know if you are Iraqi or not, but first, this is offensive for iraqis, because we do not support terror like the image you are showing above, second, thats not the iraqi flag, so try to goole the iraqi flag first, third, try to pick some other face for the iraqi super hero, because usin a face of a terrorist is not good for iraq's name. and peace out

this bitch dont know shit... he hates america thats it. oh he says he has american freinds.

The purpose of this work is not to disrespect iraqis. The purpose of this work is to denunce what our manstream media lies almost single day since 2003 when Iraq was invaded "weapons of mass destruction" as an excuse (false) to atack Iraq. Even I donΒ΄t suport Saddam, just like you, I think we agree on one single and simple point: Iraq was much better before 2003 with Saddams regime than is now after the invasion. And no one, no country didnΒ΄t have the legitimacy of invading Iraq. Once again, the face of Captain Iraq isnΒ΄t Saddam. Peace.

Its all about perspective... Whatever lens youre already looking at this entire conflict through, youre going to use when viewing related pieces of art. I am an American, and I can get behind this message without associating it with Al Qaeda or any other extremist ideology that would want me dead simply for existing.
π: 0 β©: 1
Dude, its not about Americans or America, thats Saddam's face, and Saddam's flag, at least 1 million iraqi got killed because of this face, and under this flag, so i'm pissed off because he have no respect for iraqi victims. and if you dont care about your people so its your problem.

Ok let me try and clear up where you seem to be coming from. Your concern is that the symbols and other subtle messages hint at some kind of support for the previous Iraqi regime, rather than an expression of wanting to be free from American influence, correct? Few can argue against the dysfunction and pain Saddam caused for Iraqi citizens, and while its strongly emotional, horrible in ways I know I cannot relate to, and probably created a lifetime of pain, I dont think its necessarily the point here.
Im basing my interpretation on poderiu's entire set of artwork, not just this individual one. Most of it seems to contain themes of anti-imperialism and anti-western globalization and influence, which is the "lens" that I myself am used to seeing my own world and culture through, whereas in your case, you are more quick to catch onto symbols and messages that are associated with a much darker and difficult past.
Basically im just trying to find out where you stand and how youre drawing lines here. Do you think that this artist is simply misusing symbols, or do you sincerely believe that hes a full-fledged advocate of Saddam's regime and history? Can you understand or agree with what I think this picture means, or do you outright see it as invalid? Are you trying to say that you agree with the Coalition's original intent of removing Saddam from power, or are you simply trying to illustrate that while America has created a nasty war, it does not match the trouble Saddam created? These are legitimate questions that I feel will help us both understand where the other is coming from.
Peace and respect

This image do not supports terror. You have a legitimate reading of the image, but your interpretation is far away of my intentions. The terrorist in not "Captain Iraq" but "Captain America". The message "Cleaning up the terror in our land" is adressed to captain america, the state terrorist that invaded Iraq. Also, the face of captain iraq isnΒ΄t a face of a terrorist, itΒ΄s just a face of an ordinary men with mustache.

Have either of you seen the American film "Red Dawn" by chance?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, never saw the film. why?
π: 0 β©: 1
If you ever have the opportunity you should check it out. Its a 1980's film about Russia invading the United States during the cold war, and American teenagers banding together in the wilderness to create a militia that eventually counters the invasion. Its a beautiful and sad kind of irony that more people on my side of the globe cant appreciate, because they have no idea how to apply that kind of parable to modern life or to someone outside of their own culture.

I prefere documentaries. But when I get the chance I would try to see that movie.
Thank you very much for the tip!
