Their country was fucked up before we got there. I do agree with you on one point. A maniac like Saddam had the animals on a leash. Seems like his type of governing is all they can understand. I have always maintained all we needed to do was kill a few hundred thousand of them over the course of a weekend, and the rest will fall right in line. Since we don't have the stomach for that, we never should have went there in the first place.
Here's a question for you: Would you have cheered if the Iraqi shiites revolted under Saddam's regime and began a Civil War? It's not my opinion that it is the responsibility of the US to institagate civil wars, but this may yet have positive results. Muslims slaughtering Muslims ... Bush just rang the bell to start the fight. I am begining to think Iraq is going nearly exactly as planned, considering even I, a middle-eastern politics ignoramous, predicted this years ago.
ever thought that after havin' been on a leash for so long humans may react the way the iraqis are reactin'? can u blame 'em? or is it not fairer to blame us for not forseein' this likely outcome. and nobody would welcome occupation with open arms, u certainly wouldnt no matter the benefits.
An interesting observation, but leans a little bit too far towards CT for my money. Could be though, you just never know.
Point A. Yes, that could be likely. Point B. Yes I blame them and yes, we should have seen it coming sooner than we did. Some still haven't seen it. Point C. Not if the occupying forces were bringing an obviously better life. All these dopes have to do is play along and they're living in f'n shangrila. All at our expense!
It does'nt take much to figure out most of them are retards ( and I'm being nice here ). I figured that out pretty quickly just by reading a few posts on ET by the inbreed KKKlansmen. Most of them are simpleton children running around in a adult body.
LOL, here's Putz and KKKlan supporting bushes Iraq Policy. Putz is saying : "It's the WMDs Bitches! When will you people learn that saddam is swimming across the Atlantic to kill you libs in your sleep!!

Oh wait, I nearly forgot, the name of the game is to keep all the oil below ground! rotflmao!!
True. If the Iraqi people had chosen to behave under U.S. occupation as the West German people did in the late 1940's, Iraq could have <b>become</b> West Germany: Peaceful, prosperous, and modern. The U.S. certainly screwed up by invading Iraq in the first place- That is an indisputable fact at this point; but the Iraqis are no less at fault for the smoldering disaster area their country has now become.
Do you want to know the future of Baghdad? Look at the chaos, the diverse infighting factions, and the utter devastation of <b>Beirut</b> twenty years ago- and there's your answer. How does it all end? Again, look at Beirut. Intense fighting raged for six brutal years after Reagan pulled the U.S. troops out of Lebanon in 1984. The city of Beirut was reduced to rubble, all infrastructure destroyed, and most of the people either gone or dead. The civil war finally ends when one side is clearly victorious over the other, as in Lebanon circa 1990. Only then can the long arduous re-building process begin.
