ya know, we should stop messing with other nations, i hear 'we hate america' all too much, ok fine -- next time germany is invading you- who are you going to call?

can't we all just get along?

what i don't understand is why during ww2 - vietnam whatever war, everyone else most nations didn't follow the geneva convention<sp?> but we have too?

sure drag the dead bodies thru the street and parade about, lord help us if an american did that to one of your guys....eye for an eye-- double standards cuss:

You can't compare Iraq to america or canada. this place is a fucking war zone...its unlike any other place on earth, and for you to understand it, the only way is to live there. imagine having a dictatorship, then anarchy, then military rule from another country in the united states. We aren't told even half the shit what goes on over there for us to form a fair opinion.

a Baghdadian newspaper which showed anti-american sentiment was banned from publication last week. what happened to freedom of press? obviously no way to teach Iraqis democracy.

Welcome to the world of Islamic Fundamentalism, where they don't want democracy even though we will try and force them to change their ways and become american so they can have a mcdonalds next door....the way this world works is so simple.

I'm American and I won't touch McDonald's with a 10ft pole (3 meter pole to you Europeans and Canucks)

I just happened to skim through this thread, and lost alot of respect for almost everyone on this forum. hake:

Old was right about us trying to give them western democracy in an eastern culture. there are so many cultural, religious, and moralistic values that differ and in play here...so a democratic solution in a fundamentalist country is gonna be a tough one. On top of the fact that they were brutalised for 30+ years...then poof...anarchy...its all a massive culture shock for the Iraqis and US.

From what ive heard in the media and read in publications, im of the opinion that these people cannot make a governmental distinction between church and state. They (or a vast majority) want a theocracy.

US doesnt want to see that...thus another breeding ground for fundamental terrorists whom will go about in the guise of theocrats...have an ample recruiting pool (destitution and despondancy will make for a desperate lot willing to do anything for basic necessities, not even touching on nationalistic identity principles eek: ).....

As i see it the US is fucked either way.
