and how do you feel if offer your kid was there instead?
Well, the soldier obviously wasn't going to give the kid a hand grenade, so at worst you can say he had a dark sense of humor. He's a soldier not a day care operator.
"Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is."
Still What are they doing? Yes its not anything big, but you got to read between the lines. Think about the attitude that these Soldiers have? Is right? Are they being BIG HEADED....
Our preperation continued, with our efforts and the efforts of our brothers, for years and years. Through out that time we gathered, observed and waited until the moment to move arrived.

You heard two voices in a small video clip, I don't think you can generalize about any "attitude". The kid was even laughing about it, albeit after he realized it was a joke. I wouldn't want kids hanging around my transport either.

Still i think the attitude that U.S and British soldierz hav is very........?

Very what? Would it have been better to blow the kid away? Or better yet, tie him up and behead him on a videotape? This is a war zone, not the family park down the street. I wouldn't trust those kids either, as many of them are used by insurgents to catch soldiers off guard.

Iraqi kids like candy. Coalition troops usually like giving it.
You'll always get some who are just mean and nasty, it's the way of the world.
The "freedom fighters" like killing kids. I'm sure they'd prefer the candy.
Occupation: The term of control of a territory by foreign military forces: Iraq 2003-2005 Liberation:when something or someone is freed: Operation Telic 2003
"By time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience."Quran 103
Well sure, lets pull them out now then.
Lets leave the Iraqi's totally unprotected from the death squads.
It's a wonderful idea. Sheer Genius.

you never know till you try it, they'll probably do better than they are doing under OCCUPATION
If the USA were to pull out now, pretty much every credible prognosticator has predicted civil war. There is definitely a power struggle going on within the country, regardless of the American presence. saddam was good at scaring the cr*p out of everyone with torture and executions, which he used to suppress the majority of struggles.
You may get your wish of the USA leaving. Of course, I have a feeling that the majority of the people on this site will blame the USA if civil war starts instead of holding the arabs responsible for their own behavior. Either way, many people here will blame the USA regardless of the outcome because of their ideological views.
To balance the negativity of this thread, here a few positive pictures:
"Two young children with a Fijian soldier of the Black Watch, who rescued them from armed kidnappers who had seized them in a family feud"
"This young Iraqi boy sadly lost a leg in one of the minefields Saddam Hussein laid in his own country, with scant regard for the safety of his own people. The boy was taken to the British 202(V) Field Hospital, manned by Reservists.
The hospital arranged accommodation nearby so that his parents could stay with him during his treatment."
"Iraqi youths bring soft drinks to Royal Engineers at work refurbishing and improving the security of the police station in Al Majarr al Kabir"
"A female soldier comforts a baby and reassures her mother during a search for weapons and drugs in Basrah"
"Multi-National Division (SE) hosted a reception for local community and religious leaders to mark the Eid holiday"
"A Royal Scots piper marks the reopening of a school in Al Muthanna after extensive renovation work organised by the British Army"
Just as a reminder that things are never just black or white ...
Peace
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.
Come, let us worship and bow down •
and kneel before the Lord our Maker

I personally think the video could be taken anyway, I mean, on one hand the guy could jus be kidding, the kid playin along, you know, on the other the guy could be pissed of. I mean, no point in speculating.
The path is long but I hope we meet,
After the grave and the Day, in paradise in bliss upon a reclined seat.
A traveler traveling - travelled from shirk to tawheed,
If I'm remembered for anything - let it be the Mercy I seek.

Yup. Either it was a bad joke or the guy is a jerk.
the way the soldier behaved is not rlly a big deal, hes only human and liable to engage in a harmless sarcastic joke once in a while, its not something perculiar to american soldiers alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
