I never said that they didn't want democracy. I simply said why don't we leave them alone to handle their own country.

Wouldn't it be nice if Bush actually concentrated on issues in this country rather than issues halfway around the world? When is the last time you heard anything from bush remotely related to improving things here at home. Every speach he makes lately has been about Iraq this, money for Iraq please, give me a blank check..or a credit card with no limit. Since you do not want to withdraw from Iraq, what conditions should be met for the US to withdraw from Iraq?

ck cool 12 million Iraqi citizens voted for democracy under the threat of death with a greater voter turnout prercentage than we see here in the U.S. Please explain why you seem to believe that the vast majority of Iraqis would rather be ruled by a barbaristic 6th century ideology of oppresion, death and complete lack of human rights. I for one believe this insurgency is being carried out by a tiny majority and mayhem and suicide attacks are the only way to disrupt the process the vast majority of Iraqis voted for.

Amen brother! In the interim, the reactionary, neo-con clones will keep us entertained. They'll be here all week. The bartender says, "try the samon."

huskerarmy, I'm betting that victory in Iraq will do more to defeat radical Islam than retreating will. I guess we all will get to see which strategy will make the most gains in the long run. I for one would love to believe that surrender would end all the violence but if history is any indicator surrender will not make us safer. It's just my opinion.

Have you ever noticed that Iran is very close to Iraq, and how Bush has been dancing around Iran? Threating Iran etc. Could it be possible that Bush wanted to invade Iraq so that the US Military could use Iraq as a staging zone for Iran...there's an idea.

That was an still is a declared goal of the neoconservative movement. they honestly believe that, through military force, they can establish what they refer to as an "Arch of democracy" stretching from Afghanistan, through Iran and Iraq and ending in Lebanon. Iran and Syria are next on their hit parade and they WILL think up even more lies to go to war with them next. They really are that insane. They honestly believe it is America's destiny to rule the world, and they will work toward that goal. This is a New Crusade to "Americanize" the region, if the current residents like it or not. Or even if most Americans want it or not.

Notblue,

One question, how can victory be possible in an ocupation. I thought we won wars. I didn't know that you win an ocupation? Just a thought.

OH, and one question...who are we too tell the Iraq people what type of government to establish. Or are we Scared to let the Iraq people think for themselves? One thing is certain, Bush is affraid to let the Iraq governemnt take complete control of the country. Bush said that 'power' was handed over what last year, year before? but how can a government rule its country if there is another country's military still there along with diplomats and generals telling them how to run their country. Sounds like the US is simply a babysitter for Iraq.

"...but it all comes back to the fact that we will pull out of Iraq because the majority of the American people want that to happen. And even a republican president can't tell them to go to hell forever."
