Iraq

I agree with you for saying that democracy couldn't work everywhere. But firstly they should stop repressing people.

Chemical weapons and democracy and Saddam where just international excuseso to steal their oil

That is very true.. saddam hussein wasn't all that bad... he did do some things wrong, but everyone makes mistakes..

i mean Bush made a lot of mistakes.. and no one does anything to him..

it annoys me how US think they can just attack some country and make it look like there doing the "right" thing..

I agree that the attack was unjust; I believe in attacking only when attacked first. But I don't think there's any way to say that Saddam wasn't so bad..he basically committed genocide. Last I checked, most of us haven't tried that, including the president of the United States. Again, this isn't a justification, but I think it would be an insult to decency and history to claim that he was "good." All repressive tyrants are bad (again, not saying that the US or any other country should stop them, just that they are very, very evil people).

saddam invaded kuwait...after kuwait's liberation iraq(y)people wanted that usa would also remove saddam, but usa told, that it is iraq(y)peoples business, but if they really wanted usa would help them... there was riots and the people really wanted to remove saddam, but usa didn't do anything and the fights and riots ended with another genocide...

and the sitizens of iraq didn't have oil when saddam was "the king" why are they so restless?

if usa hadn't invaided iraq, then the freath no. 1 wouldn't be iran

Maybe real reason why they still are there is oil?

Yes, but no. Take these little factoids; There has never ever been a US politician to openly criticize the state of Israel. Jewish political groups like AIPAC, have more power in our government than even the oil industry. It was Jews within the Bush administration, Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle to name a few, who architected the Iraq war.

That's a blog of a girl who lives in Iraq, in Baghdad. In the older posts she says that when the soldiers hadn't come yet they were one of the most liberal Arabic countries. Women could go to work, go out by theirselves, wear hijab or burka if they wanted to. Nobody forced them to marry if they didn't want to. Nobody cared if their neighbour was a Sunnite or Shiite. There were many families where Sunnites and Shiites were mixed. Everyone could get on well with each other.

That's just it, people like Perle and Wolfowitz knew that. They knew invading Iraq would destabilize the country. They knew Saddam was donating relatively huge sums of money to Hamas and other anti-Israel militias. They knew one of the tenets of his Ba'ath party was to unite the Islamic/Muslim world and defeat Israel. It's all part of their plan to suppress and restrain the Islamic nation. Any source outside of the mainstream media here in the USA would say how "liberalized" Iraq was. You had a Catholic as a Deputy Prime Minister, that's even practically unheard of here in the USA, much less in countries with a strong Islamic presence in their government.

There is the oil factor, but we could have plunked down xxx$ Billions dollars in front of Saddams face and taken it peacefully and with a lot less cost in loss of life and loss of political prominence in the world. Oil is a spoil of war, and to my knowledge there have been no wars in history fought purely for the spoils.

amen to that

1/3 of world helps usa in this war...

Wouldn't call it a war anymore, all real threats are cleaned out, i think USA's allies for the time beign are:
Great Britain
France
Poland
Holland

I'm not sure tough add one if I haven't mentioned some or I said one wrong.

Ppl in Iraq won't say it is calm there....

It's not, and it's mostly their fault, since they're almost everyday blowing up some car.

Britain and Australia are traditionally the most steady US allies. Except them South Korea, Poland, Romania, Georgia and Denmark still keep noticeable numbers of troops as far as I remember correctly. Netherlands withdrawn some time ago. Chirac would be furious if someone told him that somebody might think that he sent troops to Iraq Don’t you remember how he said that Eastern – Central European countries wasted occasion to shut up?

Whole decision to go to Iraq was damn wrong. Americans blinded by oil ignored threat of enormous cultural differences. In Iraq Muslims fight each other, the same we witness in Palestine. They care little about democracy, if elections organized they will vote for radicals anyway…
