On occupied countries is a natural right of the people to fight against foreign invaders, but on Irak is the civil population that suffers the terrorist actions not the invaders' armies. Only on October 3,709 civilians died.

We have to look at history. Iraq, Iran, Syria and all the Middle Eastern countries are 'unnatural' countries. Their borders were drawn in the late 19th century to early 20th century by the British who, at the time, was a superpower. These borders did not consider the relationships among the people within the borders.

So you have countries made up of people who have conflicts with each other or have nothing holding them together. Iraq's population is made up of Sunni Muslims, Shiite Muslims & Kurds. Sunnis & Shiites have had a political conflict since the 8th century. Kurds don't want to have anything to do with either one of them. So you have a divided country, even from the start.

During Saddam's time, the Sunnis were in power, as they have been for centuries in the region. Along came the Americans. No more Saddam. The Shiites, who were the majority, wanted power. The Sunnis weren't going to give it to them without a fight. The Kurds just wanted out. It's a civil war waiting to happen.

If the Americans had focused on building a proper democracy like they were supposed to, things would not be this bad. Instead, they focused on getting the oil flowing. Things are actually worse now than when Saddam was in power.

It's a power struggle. There is a void of power in Iraq because our military is understaffed and because the Iraqies themselves don't have a strong leader. Our military is staffed for an invasion force not an occupying force according to the general. And he says he needs more troops. The Powell doctrine is victory through overwhelming force. Our troops are getting killed and injured too as this happens every week. The enemies in Iraq know that our country is not willing to start a draft and increase our military prescence because there is little support for this in the United States. Americans in the USA seem to be content to way the flag but not willing to make a strong commitment. I think we've put the military in a tough spot. Our nation is paying a lot in soldiers and money for this war and the citizens of the USA are questioning if all this effort is helping. I hope I'm wrong but it looks like our political leaders have really screwed us. If we withdraw it will look weak for us and that may spread more terrorists. So, unless the will of this nation changes or the strategists engage more nations our troops are going to continue to be stuck.

Iraq has been turned by two of the most powerful and civilised nations on Earth into the most hellish place on Earth. Armies claiming to bring democracy and prosperity have brought bloodshed and a misery worse than under the most ruthless modern dictator-HITLER. This must be the stupidest paradox in modern history. Neither America nor Britain has the guts to rule Iraq properly, yet they lack the guts to leave.Blair speaks of staying until the job is finished. What job? The only job he can mean is his own.

Because many people there are not very civilized, filled with hate for the opposite Muslim sect and can only be ruled by a Saddam who is willing to rule with an iron fist.

Wow, your crack broking service sells some reliable product, please placed up his pager #. ok heritage professor, in 1962 authentic freaking Soviet subs wearing authentic nuclear weaponry became cruising alongside to launch web pages on the Cuban island. That became no conflict sport, no pretend flag action and no state sponsored terrorism (till the state we are concerning is the U.S.). On 9/11/01, 4 planes crashed onto US objectives or soil, and there is not any information presented forth or found in view that that shows ANY complicity by US brokers or organizations. you're frightened of the authentic enemy of the state, and experience the less demanding conflict is to vote out the conservative aspect contained in the White abode, whose regulations have not been the magnificent, yet are a techniques from diabolically murderous and callously treasonous. The DoD is chock finished of protection rigidity jugheads (contemporary and ex) who're PAID to come back up with loopy circumstances and imagine the unthinkable. IT does no longer advise that the sitting presidents or sec-defs take the most laughable options and placed them into action. you're free to peruse the DoD or DoW archives for the stunning century and note what kind of loopy nonsense they stated to the administrations they responded to. there is a few severe wacky stuff seen. yet one wacky adventure WASN'T given its due (the Bojinka Plan) and THAT plan became the single which did us in. That plan became concocted contained in the midsection East and Phillipines and THAT plan became done quite somewhat completely by suicidal, homicidal, unlawful Muslim extraterrestrial beings. no longer your USofA. in case you nevertheless seem inward for blame and duty, you provide the authentic and brazenly observed enemy more and more time to devise, fund and execute terrorism. Did we plan the Iran Hostage disaster? The Marine Barracks attack? 02/23/ninety 3? The Khobar Towers? the united statesCole? Bali? 7/7/05 ? Madrid? Your wild conspiratorial rhetoric is lovable to study even as bored at abode and annoyed at everyone else yet your misinformed self. yet you do no honor or justice on your usa and those that died that day, by putting the blame incorrectly and with out foundation, on united statesa.. examine your self.

I don't understand the psychology of it; it's pretty complicated in some respects and simple to explain in other respects and it is very sad.
