"If President Bush copied Julius Caesar by ordering his army to empty Iraq of Arabs and repopulate the country with Americans, he would achieve immediate results: popularity with his military; enrichment of America by converting an Arabian Iraq into an American Iraq (therefore turning it from a liability to an asset); and boost American prestiege while terrifying American enemies"- Philip Atkinson
Hes an author that writes for a neo con think tank called: familysecuritymatters.org

You are thinking wrongful acts. You do not know the purpose of the american government in doing so. Refrain from thinking on the negative side. If your idea is in contrast with the american government, just remain silent in your sit and sleep very well in bed.
You better have your b ath and brush your teeth then comb your hair and do ev erything to yourself to escape and avoid things which are not necessary.

Ethnic cleansing, perhaps?
Let me just add this: When Israel was formed, many but not all Palestinians were removed from their lands and homes to make room for the Jewish people. The result of that is the chaos and terrorism we see reverberating still today. Imagine the implications of removing ALL the Arabs from Iraq and putting Americans in there? An American Iraq would last until the first anti-American Arab or Muslim country created an atomic bomb.

Morality aside (and lets face it, Bush always puts morality aside in matters of policy), it would in part be quite true. Ethnic cleansing rid the Agean coast of Turkey (once Greece) of Greeks, effectively rid the US and Australian main land of its native peoples and has been equally effective in other areas. It is also, of course, collosally immoral.
And that counts in our modern world. American power in the world is tolerated because it is under control, and because trade with America is beneficial to both sides. If America behaved in this way, does Atkinson think this would still be true? I doubt it - and that would mean trade with America would cease. Howe would America cope when every EU country ordered it off their soil? No bases East of Nova Scotia. Or when Japan stopped trading? No electronics to power its economy (the US makes almost no memory chips - without Japan US IT would sink in a matter of weeks). THe list goes on.
What Atkinson really fails to realise is that even talking like this jeapordises US opportunities aborad because it gives good and just cause for people around the world to doubt whether they should tolerate US behaviour any longer.
The US has already proved that being a superpower is no great shakes - it has not won in an intervention since world war 2, and is about to lose convincingly in Iraq.

This person is insane because he think this life if permanent. Even if Bush is permanently president upto when death is waiting all. secondly he is not only one strong person. If this emptying the country policy was adopted by muslims who ruled the world for thousand years upt to centre of europe and spain for 500 years. All people were living at the same place. Millions of chiristian are still living in muslim countries. America will attack with atomic bomb at Iraq. What will happen with America when Russia because of fear of America's unpredicted missile atack will attack America. Russia have missiles doublein number that America...........
And so on....

He sounds like a nut. I don't think Bush actually thinks he can just take over and make Iraq American soil and repopulate the country with Americans....I don't even think he wants too.
They are not thinking!

Hmmm...Ol' Phil might actually have a point there...
If it worked for Julius Caesar, it just might work for America, as well.
I know, it sounds callous as hell, but give it a bit of thought for a second...if the Iraqis could, would they dominate America?
Oh, yeah.

What you suggest is nothing short of terrorism,isn't that what we are trying to abolish in the first place.
Julius Ceaser was an other form of terrorist,as was Genghis
Khan and Hitler !!
These people sound like paid mercenaries and all they wany to do is cause trouble.
