How can you liberate a country, that hates you without killing everyone?

Answer 1

The idea of liberation is drive an enemy out of the country being occupied and then leave. Just like the US did in WWII. The problem with Iraq is we didnt leave. This brings up a big question, why?

Answer 2

Step 1: Education. You need to show the people who hate you that there is the potencial for a better life if they are liberated. If you get the mass to accept, they will convince the dissenters over time. (Note: this stage takes years, and if there is any military action or economic sanctions during this stage, you mess it up)
Step 2: Enable. You need to provide the people of the country with a way to liberate themselves. (If stage 1 works, the millitary of that country will support the change and not the past dictator.
Step 3 Enforce. As the country asks for help, provide it in the way they ask.

Answer 3

You don't liberate countries that hate you. The United States liberated Iraq but not all Iraqi's hate America. You'd be surprised to find out who many of the insurgents in Iraq are actually supported by or are from Iran or Syria. They are the Islamic fascists who won't stop until Israel and the United States is destroyed.

Answer 4

Of course you can. Only a small handful of people are the problem. The rest really don't give a **** or just think the way they are told to think. Kill off the trouble makers and the rest fall into line pretty readily.

If a country really was capable of "hating you" then the only reasonable solution to the situation would be to sterilize it.....kill off the entire population with nuclear weapons. Happily, that isn't even close to being the case.

Answer 5

The problem in Iraq, (I assume you mean Iraq), is that it was ruled under Saddam by a 20% minority Sunni population. Anyone starting trouble under his watch was not only tortured &/or executed, but so was his/her family. Very effective way of controlling an unstable & unhappy population. After the US liberated Iraq from this oppression, the election results obviously didnt favor the 20% minority anymore, and that is the root of most of the violence plagueing Iraq today, (coupled w/ Iran, Syria, AlQaida stirring the pot). Our military in Iraq isn't the target or cause of most of todays violence there, but rather a stabilizing force until the majority elected government can be strong enough to maintain peace. Unless they implement Saddams tactics, they may not have peace for quite some time.

Answer 6

Liberate is another word for take over, so if you do it, especially if the country hates you, then there is probably going to be a fight for the land.

Answer 7

Are you making some subtle slam about Iraq, or are you asking an honest question?

Assuming your question is earnest, I would answer that it's not that hard. You said liberate. That means all you have to do is free the people from its dictator. Do that and leave, done.

That answer, of course, doesn't apply to Iraq, but neither does the question.

Answer 8

If you are talking about iraq, the majority of them are glad we are there.

This question is absurd. Would you hate someone trying to liberate (free) you?

Answer 9

I think that's the question everybody in this country would like answered right about now.

Answer 10

Are you referring to Iraq? They don't hate us sweetie. We are there because their Government leaders have ask us to stay. You really must find a new source for your information. You are not getting the truth.
