If the war in Iraq is lost (and I think it is), won’t we be putting the wealth of Iraq into?

Question

the next generation of terrorists? This is a serious question, please no hate…

Answer 1

it's not lost yet, but unless the Iraqi's get their act together and start handling their own problems Very soon it will be. as for their wealth, it will end up in the hands of whatever group of thugs end up in control after the American installed govt falls.

Answer 2

The wealth of Iraq, belongs to the people of Iraq. It is not up to you or the president to decide whether the next generation of Iraqis will mismanage it, or whether they will be nifty little capitalists or whether they'll spend the whole thing on an elaborate plot to get revenge from the American "crusaders". Truth is, if i were Iraqi, I would be hell bent on getting back at the people who destroyed and robbed my fatherland; and still, if the next generation of Iraqis were a savage bunch of barbarian degenerates, there'd be no one to blame but the American invaders. So you'd better get out and stay put, like it or not that oil is theirs.

Answer 3

"When you ain't got nuthin you got nuthin to lose".
Or
"You don't always get what you want, but try it some time, you just might find ,you get what you need"
Bush named Iran as being a terrorist state.
Iran is Shi”a
The majority in Iraq is Shi’a.
At the close of the first Gulf war there was a Shi’a insurrection against Sadam and his Bath party.
Sadam appealed to Bush senior to stand down and allow him to put his helicopters back into the air to put down the insurrection and it was allowed.
The end result was Sadam and the Bathist Sunni’s had a vendetta against the US for defeating their ambitions in Kuwait and blowing their infrastructure to smithereens and the Shi’a had a vendetta against the US for allowing Sadam to stay in power and killing off the insurrection in the thousands.
When Bush Jr. proposed regime change in Iraq, Senior advised against it foreseeing that the outcome would be to put the Shi’a in power and there was every likely hood that the Shi’a in Iraq would unify with Iran considering their treatment at the close of the first Gulf war as well as their treatment throughout the Clinton Administration enforcing Bush Seniors sanctions with Sadam left in power.
This out come was further exacerbated when Paul Bremmer conducted his debathification project against the Sunni population after the fall of Sadams regime.
This put the Sunni’s at the mercy of the Shi’a and opened the door for Al Kaeda into Iraq in defense of the Sunni.
Left to their own devices the Shi’a would drive out Al Kaeda and lord only knows how many Sunni’s their death squads would execute in the process.
Bush is not in any position to approach Iran with belligerence or Military threat at this juncture.
The US is the largest oil market in the world, Iran and Iraq combined have one of the largest remaining reserves in the world and they want to take their resource to the market.
Without access to Iraq’s oil the Billions going an a Trillion cost of “Operation Iraqi Liberation” will have to be absorbed by the American tax payer.
This would seem a recipe for economic collapse.
So is Iran still a terrorist state? Or is Iran our best hope in finally securing Iraq as humanely as possible and procuring resources in Iraq to pay for the entire fiasco.
Iran doesn’t want a war, nobody in their right mind does nor do they want to be invaded or pushed around by the west.
They have cars and paved highways and discothèques and a decent education. They may not be the best on humane rights but they are far from the worst. Their population was pro America up until Bushes proclamation that they were a terrorist state.
Bush places them as terrorists because they support Hezbula and Hamas in Lebanon and Pakistan against Israeli aggression.
Israel has a right to protect itself but it’s occupation of Palestine and the Golan Heights is illegal by international law and in the game of back and forth strike and retaliation, Israel has been far too heavy handed with their practice of bulldozing communities and shutting off water , and 10 eyes for one eye etc and have lost sympathy with the world intellectual community let alone Iran.
All of this needs checks and balances and cooperation. Iran stands in good stead to be a key player in the solution but in order to do so Bush has to get off his high horse and enter into a meaningful empathetic dialog with Iran.
Recently they broke the Ice, let’s hope they don’t let this freeze back over because if they do they have about as much chance of pulling Iraq off as a snowball in hell.
One last comment. When the media translated that Ahmadinejad called for the destruction of Israel the actual translation of the text was not a call for the destruction of Israel it was a call for the end of present Israeli policy.
This was a translation mistake or transgression whichever the case may be, a little mistake with a huge negative destructive impact .
Iran in the news today.

Answer 4

Nope - the war is only lost in the Senate and House
(who is in control?)
Interesting that they have ceded the loss without going to military briefings by the Generals in charge - oh my bad

they do get briefed each morning on the conference call by moveon.org with the days talking points

next gen of terrorists? there is no war on terror - where have you been? Don't you listen to Nancy and Harry?

Answer 5

Good question... there are no winners in war. Conservatives and the elite just don't want to get this because they profit from war.

We have created a generation of two of America haters and we must cut our losses sooner not later.

Answer 6

Let me ask this why do we go and war on people and then rebuild their country for them, when we could be investing in the American people. You know this is correct what you said so you are just looking for validation. This was a religious war wasn't it?

Answer 7

You seem to be missing the point - which is - there will be no next generation of terrorists. What do you think all this is about.....?

Answer 8

not necessarily

Answer 9

exactly
