Will a Democratic or a Republican President end the situation in Iraq?

Answer 1

Congress has a choice of what kind of mess we have in Iraq, but complete disengagement in the middle east isn't really an option, so we'll be dealing with things over there for a long time. Take your pick on who does what when.

Answer 2

Well, considering the Iraqi government was basically stripped from its hierarchy and officials, it will take a decade or even decades to rebuild a fully functional government.

Remember Japan? It took a decade or so for things to return to relatively normal after 1945, and it took a few decades after 1945 for Japan to relatively function as a normal country, and even then they currently still feel the effect of the disruption in government in 1945.

Plus, many of the Japanese hierarchy and officials were retained 1945, meaning Iraq is in a more vulnerable condition than Japan in 1945.


Those who say that the current President of the United States of America can end the current situation in Iraq is either don't know the facts or lying.

Those who say that the next President of the United States of America can end the current situation in Iraq is either don't know the facts or lying.

Those who say that the next next President of the United States of America can end the current situation in Iraq is either don't know the facts or lying.

Those who say that the next President of the United States of America in the latter part of the next decade can end the current situation in Iraq is probably telling some truth.



What is more important is to learn a few lessons from this, they probably are:

- don't liberate other countries

- don't export democracy to other countries

- don't mess around with other country's governmental structure

- if the situation isn't immediate, don't go at war with other countries



As for the current situation in Iraq.

The problem is that the current chaos is intentionally done to made to make people fight each other, but it's not a power struggle (though the low level soldiers from all sides are fooled into thinking they are struggling for power).

However, assuming that things went back to a normal power struggle, here are the followings that can be done:

- build city fortresses, every city fortresses become its own country.

- build a fortress network of transportation and telecommunication between city fortresses. Think The Great Wall China.

- kill or exile anyone who enter a city fortress without permission.

- kill or exile anyone who betray the government, including one who incite anti-government propaganda (free speech and expression means nothing if you are dead or restless).

- kill or exile anyone who attack the government.

Completion time? A decade or two.

Answer 3

Only God can end the situation in Iraq! Seriously though, once the current criminals have stolen everything they can and finally leave DC (in a shambles might I add) the next Prez will be a fall guy. If we do not elect a Strong leader, be they republicon or dennosquat this country is in deep kemchee. Our only hope may be Military rule until the criminals (aka politicians) can be hunted down, given fair trials and hung.

Answer 4

Neither. It will be the government of Iraq.

Answer 5

Probably neither.

It's primarily up to Congress, since they have sole control over the money, and sole authority to authorize military force overseas.

Answer 6

not until we have complete control over the oil for bush/cheney & co.

Answer 7

All I know is that the American tax payer will pay for it.

Answer 8

Not if the Israel lobby has any say in it.
