Hey ppl,have u heard it yet. Three Czechs journalist were kidnapped in Iraq. Why? Is the war against the journalists ? We should condemn this act and ask us military commanders to change them for their presidant.

Yes, this hostage-taking is a worrying new trend in Iraq. They've just released a British civilian (whose first question was apparently 'how have West Ham United got on?!'), but of course those Czech journalists have now been kidnapped, Just heard that 11 Russians have also been taken, and we still don't know what's happened to those three Japanese people.
I think that all the civilians and journalists over in Iraq are seen as soft targets for these extremists, as they don't have weapons and can't be guarded 24/7.

it seems a pretty dumb move given that a fair percentage of the worlds media is actually AGAINST the Iraq occupation.

Well... from perspective of the extremist Iraqi fighters... EVERY foreigner in their country is an opportunist trying to make money in some way or other of the Iraqi situation... thus fair game.
Must say it is fully beyond me why anybody would wanna go over there given the current situation (which is not new btw but has been ever since dubya decalred the war 'over') it's just that with the growing number of civilians the number of kidnaps is rising too.
Of course these extremists probably are not ingenieurs themselves and may have no other education than how to hold a weapon and fire it. they fully ignore the fact that they won't be able to build up their country from scratch all by themselves

Very well said pitta. While we're at it, lets chuck that GENOCIDAL MANIAC Ariel Sharon in at the frontline as well.

Wow, I see some very positive attitude here.
That surprise me from europeans who until recently just used to lick USA's butt.
Good thinking, Pitta and Baainens.  |

I've heard the Russian hostages and a few others have been released now, and apparently some of the moslem clerics have been urging people to release the hostages, so hopefully some of the other hostages will be released soon. I've also heard that some groups in Iraq are now jumping on the bandwagon simply to further their own goals - quite possibly financial....
I have to admit I find it quite worrying the power that some of these clerics/priests have over people - and I'm not just talking about Islam here! Anyway, going off topic a bit, sorry!

What do u expect from people in a country occupied by foreign forces?.These iraqis were first persecuted under saddam for 30 years and now the americans are having there way over them!..How much more must must these ppl suffer?..These ppl r fighting a war and trying to rid themselves of occupiers who only have interest in there Oil..With no weapons and little to defend themselves with, they obviously get into desperate situatuions and kidnapping is a weapon which they unfortunately use!>Lets get some facts straight here:over 400 iraqis dies in the last 2 weeks in Faluja..and i think 30 allied troops died..But in the media there is never any preference given to the majority who died here.Seems like Iraiq blood is cheap.The americans are creating more long term problems for themselves if they are thinking they fighting a war on terror.
