Answer 1

That dream was a still birth. There was never hope in Iraq, the religous landscape is an was headed for a chaotic outburst if Saddam were overthrown.

Why do you think we didn't take Bagdhad in the Gulf War?

Answer 2

The Bush agenda will be completed. Just in a different way. We will pull out of Iraq with mission accomplished. The new Iraqi military will decimate the Al-Sadir army backed by Iran. Iraq has a government now that does not want to be an Iranian puppet. If we the American military attacked the Al-Sadir militia the civilian death toll would be huge and we would be labeled as butcher's amongst a people that already in uneasy with our presence. The Iraqi military will do this but wishes us to play a larger roll which we cannot politically afford nor should we. The conflict would be similar to the one with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Either way...Mission accomplished will be heard throughout the world. If Al-Sadir (an extremist fundamentalist Muslim) is negotiated with the Iranian government will have some pull within the Iraqi government. Iraq is currently represented by the vast majority of peace loving Shiite's. The Sunni sect is virtually no different than the Shiite's. This civil war is about power not religion. Therefore an end is in sight. It is a civil war as to whether the extremist fundamentalist will rule or peace loving Muslim's will rule. The Sunni extremist as well as the Shiite extremist want unrest. The Minority Sunni miss Saddam. They used to be the keeper of the keys. The extremist Shiite's love Iran. Democracy has taken hold and The peace loving Shiite ruled Iraq is here to stay our foot soldiers know this.

Answer 3

There is no reason to impeach Bush. Congress gave him the go ahead period.
You can't give people democracy when the don't want it. That's like trying to shove a dictatorship down America throat. We don't want it.
Further more they are going into in all out civil war over religion! What was the shortest Religious Civil war ever? I know that Palestine and Israel are still going at it. We don't belong in the middle of any religious war. These people want to fight for their god let them. The United State was build with the separation of church and state. Let us not get involved in religious wars. This is including The Palestine's and Israel they want to blow each other up let them.
Lets see who's god will protect who.
All war over religion needs have no support from America. Unless they are attacking America or have attacked America then let's just blow them up. No more losing the lives of young American men and woman over somebody esle god.

Answer 4

Let's get one thing straight. There will never be a western style or US style of democracy in the Middle East. It's impossible to assume that they will understand and grasp personal freedoms and responsibility. That whole region has been under oppressive control for over 5,000 years and to think that they will suddenly grasp democratic theory and use it properly is unrealistic. Hell, even the so-called democracies in the EU are just basically massive welfare cases. American democracy is truly unique to the U.S. and it still and experiment.

Answer 5

if you actually think bush wants democracy in Iraq, you haven't been paying attention; he doesn't even want democracy in the USA, have you noted what he and his cohorts have done to the US Constitution and Bill of Rights? If he has no respect for his own country, how will he do anything for Iraq.
Also, Iraq is not a western country, so western democracy is a fallacy in this instance

Answer 6

Bush was never interested in democracy, he was interested in setting up a compliant government in a resource-rich state. In the Neo-con fairytale of life after Saddam, the Iraqis get rid of their dictator, the US has somewhere else to place its troops (Osama carried out Sept 11 to get US troops off Saudi land), Bush's buddies get lucrative rebuilding contracts and oil-hungry US citizens get their appetites satisfied by Iraqi black gold.

If Bush was interested in democracy, he would work with the democratically elected government of Palestine instead of cutting off aid and allowing Israel to withhold million and millions of dollars in tax revenue from Palestinian citizens.
If Bush was interested in democracy, he would not have supported a CIA backed plot to overthrow the democratically elected president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.

The ignorance of the contributor who believes the middle east has no concept of freedom and responsibility is astounding.
The arabs have not been oppressed for the last 5,000 years, they have been some of the most enlightened peoples in history in all areas of arts, sciences, mathematics and religion.

And I'm a British anglo-saxon.

Answer 7

When I start seeing the 11 million ordinary citizens who voted in the democratically held election in Iraq carrying posters stating that they want Saddam back in power then I will believe that the dream of Democracy in Iraq is dead.

Until then.. maybe you should give it a chance as well.

Answer 8

Bush made a total mess of "Democracy" what he's after is a cross between hegemony and financial imperialism.
He has made a mockery of American foreign policy and should have been impeached and criminally prosecuted for his handling of Iraq long ago.

Answer 9

Democracy can produce some unpleasant consequences. The elected government may not be to the liking of those trying to impose democracy. Especially when you try to impose western style democracy in a society that is not "western".

Answer 10

boy oh boy, sounds to me that you, as well as all the liberal dems in this great country would like nothing more than to see us fail in Iraq, you should be ashamed of yourself and your actions. When the next attack happens in this country i hope its in your neighborhood and not mine.
Wondermom... the religous war is in our back yard everyday. Radical islam wants all religions wiped off the face of the planet and that includes whatever faith you hold near and dear to your heart, including islam if you do not agree with what they beleive.
