The Iraqis know the policy too, how about looking in their mirrors and getting out of the way when they hear the horn? And before you start, I'm sure you'd be happy to wait in traffic if there were tens of thousands of people out there just waiting to take a shot at you.


I wouldn't be there in the first place.

It's been policy in war zones for a very long time. As above, I'm sure you'd be tough enough to sit and wait your turn. Whatever you think of the war - and most people agree it's wrong - it doesn't mean the soldiers should sit like sitting ducks to allow the insurgents to get their own back, that would be real moronic behaviour.

You lay into the horn and dont stop, if you stop it will be just long enough for somebody to pump one into your head or toss in a granade. If they dont get out of your way you tap there back bumber, dont push them or they can run over people. NEVER STOP unless you want to get nailed. Drive in the wrong lane if you have to, just dont stop and make yourself a target. They werent being Aholes they were fallowing policy.
Thats what happens when you invade a country to free it only to find out they dont want to be free like you think they did. Or they have a differant view of freedom.
I will have to admit it was kinda fun being a road hog and not worrying about a ticket:)


Have you ever considered that the reason why you are a target is because of an attitude like this?

Just imagine that you are Mohamad sitting in his opel astra, minding his own buisness, thinking that the American presence might actally be helping his seemingly desperate situation, when suddenly a humvee smashes the only asset of any value that he owns.

The next time you drive through that neigborhood there will be one extra person holding the grenade.

Does that sound like progress?

Its not an attitude, or justafacation I was just trying to tell you why he was driving like that. I noticed his horn was blowing the whole video. Sometimes people just dont hear you, they are playing music or deaf(really deaf) or just not figuring the noise is comming up from behind them. So you bump them. It is unfortunit about the damage to the car.
Just so you know, dont get mad and follow a humvee that hits you, they have orders to disable cars that do that, that means you shoot them, not the people the car.

X upper right corner for spell check, now thats funny:) took me awhile to figure it out, good one.
