Why I hate war in Iraq.
 

Okay...they didn't back down from war before the war started. They walked thruogh U.N. in the name of national security and soverninty. But then we took over a country and kicked out the leader, who would, if ever found, be killed on sight within seconds of our boy out there snipping him. So that means they loose the war. That means we should OWN Iraq, and not back down. All politicalions, even Bush, says "we respect Iraqi sovereignty". That is bullshit, because if we did, we would not have over thrown their goverment. But since we did, then we should control it. WE should own Iraq. They should be a Sateletie Nation of some kind of treaty we'll draft up with the IMPORTANT nations of the world.

This gives me speech topic idea, thanks gc.

If the US did that, the current problems would look like a walk in the park.

And another thing....Its NOT up to Peurto Rico if they become a state. They'll become a state when we feel the time is right. Vote for the Federal Corporate Democratic Socialist Imperilist Party.

Just remmember the French's lesson in Algeria.

bad dum cha

I don't think it was ever our stated purpose to colonize Iraq. From what I understand, the vast majority of individuals in Iraq still support the US-led coalition. I'd venture to say that life for folks over there is much improved from what it was under Saddamm now that public utilities, etc. are back on line.

Saw a very good post on another site in regards to the Iraq situation, notably, the protestors in London (where only 200 showed up, where 20,000+ had been "guaranteed" prior to the event by the sponsors....) during Bush's visit this week:

HEY BRITS! ARE YOU REQUIRED TO SPEAK GERMAN?

NO?! :eek:

YOU ARE F***ING WELCOME!

TWICE! ;)

Funny! Love this post. It applies to the French as well... Actually, it applies to all of Western Europe and probably most of Africa.

The worst thing about the war in Iraq is that it was not finished the first time we were there.

Please....

The French could ask you the same thing....

Do you sing God Save the Queen?

NO

so it's all relative......

The French assistance and final blockade was certainly helpful in winning the war, but I'd take our chances of ultimate victory over the Brits without the French assistance over France beating the Germans any day. Do you sing God save the Queen?

:( I feel uncomfortable
 

Sigh. I don't think the questionable anti-Brit holier than thou comments are a good idea. I think it's a facile argument to have. It's as bad and inappropriate a Brit coming along saying "Hey you Americans how do you like the fact the allied forces held Germany/Japan etc at bay for years before you "deigned" to step in preferring to stay out and hide due to the high Germanic populations in PA etc. If we hadn't done such a good job keeping them at bay the invading forces would've gone unchecked and on from strength to strength and Pearl Harbor woulda been much worse- can we hear a yee-ha?!"
That'd be distasteful & unconscionable not to mention dumb to put it unforgivably mildly!
:)

Huh? Do *I* sing it? Er have done. Not regularly mind ;)

The French rolled over for the Germans in WWII and did nothing at all that effected Japan. French resistance... lol... RIGHT!

Considering he's Canadian.. probably.

Strange echo in here. I think I've heard (or said) that before. I certainly agree.

wow, I guess freedom fries will be comming back soon too huh?
