War Optimism

  1. Some suggest that the lack of Iraqi civilian celebration has to do with our abandoment of them in 1991.

    Many took to an uprising in 1991 during the Gulf War, as they thought the USA was going to finish the job. After we left early, the slaughter of those who opposed Saddam was intense.

    So, naturally, they are a little skeptical. They want to be sure that we will finish the job this time, and the Saddam is truly gone.

    Imagine how you would feel after umpteen years of abuse. It would take some time to feel comfortable once again to express your real feelings.

  2. very true, we dumped them in 91 because we wanted U.N. support and the support of the europeans to continue and they didn't give it. Schwartzkopf wanted to go all the way.

    We dumped the shiites just like we dumped the Cubans in the bay of Pigs, one of the more shamefull examples of U.S. foreighn policy. There won't be any celebration until every major city is under our control and Sadam is dead.

    perhaps the local customs for the celebration of being shot dead by foreign invaders are simply traditionally different from those in America
