to s t below:
with due respect , the ' International Community ' brought about this mess in Iraq. I think the same ' International Community ' should find a way to clear the air. Not the ordinary international community ( those without any say in these things ) you mean.

and again to stephen B:
Saddam was in his own country and Kuwait , he claimed to have a dispute on. I am not whitewashing Saddam here. But what business US got in Iraq? they did not threaten america. Could you name a country which have meddled in the affairs of more than 2 sovereign countries not at all related to it , after Hitlers time? ( I mean , no border dispute nothing???)

More Iraqis have died during and after the war with the US in just three months, than in Saddam's times in his entire regime.
The Iraqi economy is destroyed. and Iraq is fallen back by at least a 100 years or so.
America is now syphoning all of Iraq's oil and its not in the news anymore.
Saddams trail is a brain wash to those who resist the US and they are trying to send a message saying, "look this is what we do to any head of state who doesnt tow our line"
They caught him drugged him and put him in the rat hole, and then enacted an arrest humiliating Saddam for the world to see.
They split Iraq and its people and cant control the voilence. now the world realised what a tough job Saddam was doing and how good he was at it. He did what the Us and allies could not do.
America fought a proxy war against Iran at lebnon,
Israel and Hizbollah. they lost.
America installed a puppet govt in Afghanistaan, The Talibaan are frying thier @sses now.
America can only run CNN and Dateline NBC.
Make Moovies.
Feature WWF
spread Pornograhy. and tell monumental lies.
Stage very Glitzy and Spectacular ait crashes as in the WTC
and Make fake Osama Bin Laden Tapes to make the world believe theres a threat,
Fools and @ssholes that believe in the US might. and those with an empty sense of US patriotism believe what the US govt says.
Welcome to the new world order, LOL

655,000 Iraqi civis have died in total
451,950 Iraqi civis died by extremist hands
in a WAR of 5 years, I think less than 3,000 Americans is not bad. Since this is WAR.
You people need to look at history and see how things played out in the past. Cry and cry because "Oh, someone got killed in a war oh my god"
why don't you do some homework on who we are fighting with and stop blaming the idiot president and his idiot advisers about some lame *** conspiracy theory.
It's so freaking easy to cry and whine about this crap when your **** is at home enjoying what other people in other places would call heaven.
maybe some of you don't recall that extremist have attacked and killed before without provocation.
here's a time line of all the incidents...if you actually read it i say enjoy

Most of 60% to 70% are due to Sectarian Violance. Nobody has given a license to kill anybody. This is the war on terror and it is totally different than the war between two countries or multiple countries. Iraquies enjoy their freedom and they are the young democracy if survive will be the one you have to count in three.
Besides America and Britain nobody has courage to go and fight against the root of the cause of the problems. They look always good anywhere. They are the army of ONE.

It's difficult growing up only to discover we don't live in a fairy tale. Geopolitics is a harsh reality of the world, and putting your head in the sand and holding your breath won't make it go away. This is the age old struggle for world power, someone will claim it, that's the only guaranteed thing. Sugarcandy Mountain simply does not exist.

In answer to this I must point out that Saddam Hussein has the blood of thousands of innocent Kurds, Iraqi Shi'ites, Kuwaitis and Iranians on his hands as well as his own sons-in-law!
He spared no effort in eliminating his opponents where they could be found. The world community could not suffer this to continue indefinitely. I'm surprised that after 16 years Saddam still hasn't answered for the invasion and occupation of Kuwait. How forgiving the liberal, western media seem to be!

Nothing to do with freedom, equality or democracy - all to do with OIL.
The Americans and British soldiers are not being sent out there to win, but to maintain the instability, so these oil-rich, sense-poor countries can't get organised, and charge proper prices for their resources.

this is a sad case. a very sad one indeed. i would not dare to joke about it. even one life is too much to give on either side. unfortunately things got out of hands and politicians and advisers don't know how to end it and how to get out of it honorably. they need the will of their people one side or the other side.and so far they have none. back to square one. no comparison with James bond etc. this is serious matter every day, every hour, every minute in irak --some innocent man, soldier, police innocent or not is being tortured or killed. enough is enough -- the international community has to find a final solution to end the carnage and establish peace and stable government. i rest my case.

Are you from Britian? Those poor Iraqis. I see no improvement in the war on terror (what a stupid name for a war), so that number is likely to grow. I dont know about you, but i pray every night for the safety of our troops caught in the middle of all of bush's idiocy.

maybe, for the prices of crude oil and the interest of the american policy and the dollar, maybe it is worth of the death of those innocent iraqis.
