Simply solution to Iraq violence.?

Question

You're seen with a RPG...you get shot & questions asked later.
All automatic weapons are banned. You get caught, you go to jail.
Even authorized, controlled door-to-door searches for weapons.
In the USA & other "civilized" countries, you know the answer if you walk out onto the street with an RPG or automatic weapon!
What is different about Iraq? Is this too simple?

Answer 1

If I recall, it was decided early on that they be allowed one AK per family, which is not a bad idea in that everybody is rightly afraid everybody else is a deadly threat. RPG's and other weapons, I agree. That still doesn't address the problem of the IED's. H.L.Mencken once pointed out that for every complex problem there's a solution that's "neat, plausible, and wrong." I don't think there is a simple solution. The Iraqi government are just going to have to get it together and get a substantial number of the factions on board.

Answer 2

If you go on the street with RPG in most countries you get shot.

If USA is the reason you go on the street with RPG then maby USA should go home.

Answer 3

this is kind of like what they're already doing in Iraq. they do search people's houses door-to-door, and do have programs where they try to get people to disarm themselves... of course, MOST people there have weapons, so if you just say anyone who has a weapon dies, you would be better off just dropping an atomic bomb because we're talking about TOTAL WAR here.

And they do shoot people if they see them with weapons, or even if they just fail to stop their cars... ever hear of checkpoints?

Answer 4

Do you really think people in Iraq are allowed to just walk around with RPG's and automatic weapons? They are just strolling down the street with a submachine gun slung over their shoulder?

It's not the solution that's simple...it's you.

Answer 5

Most of the violence isn't being done with RPG's! That isn't quite the same as an IED, which most people do not walk the streets with!

Answer 6

The occupiers are too frightened to do door to door searches

Answer 7

There wasn't any terror b4 invading Iraq. why'd we care for them to heal them? why not nay other country? we r the ones making the situation grave.

therefore we have to pull our troops out.

Answer 8

Just don't hang a mass murderer with a heckler in the crowd.

Answer 9

There is no simple solution. At this point it's the best worst case scenerio, or least damaging plan...

Answer 10

Um, all this pretty much already happens. The attacks come from people who aren't known to have weapons of any kind. that's why they are so successful.
