The war in Iraq has increased the anger against the USA and now our soldiers are getting mutilated because of Bush! and parents at home are crying because their 18 kids are dying for some stupid war.

You did not give us a well thought out question. Iraq was originally not part of the War on Terror, but as soon as we invaded it, it was. The reason for this is that it is now a lightning rod for both world opinion and for the two camps of thought in the islamic world. A successful conversion of Iraq to a democracy without overt looting of their oil by America will sway muslims away from Al-Qaeda; an iraq perceived as a regime that is illegitimate and propped up by American 'crusaders' will sway muslims toward Al-Qaeda.

Iraq was not a battlefield we should have chosen; but having chosen it, we have no choice but to make the best of it.

Let there be direct electoral elections. I believe Ayatollah Sustani would be able to keep the peace between Sunnis and Shiahs. As long as he embraces all the factions in Iraq and also guarantee rights to Jews and Christians and others Iraq will be noted as not only a Demacracy but even a functioning JUST Islamic system. It will force the Iranians and the Sauds to reform their systems without comprising conservative approaches therefore in the long run defeating the minority of Radical Extremists like Al-Qaedah!

oops... they were not 18 kids, they were 18 YEARS OLD people fighting and dying... my bad.

See that sheet-eatin' grin next to the title up there? That's got to be Cheney's face as he travels Asia this weekend begging Japan and South Korea's leaders to not bail out on the occupation of Iraq.

And here's a little morsel for the neo-cons to choke on:


U.S. seeks help from French
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Associated Press
April 9, 2004 | PARIS (AP) --
Washington has asked Paris for a role in an international protection force for U.N. employees in Iraq, but it is too early to respond, the Foreign Ministry said Friday.
"I can confirm that France was approached by the American authorities on the question of protecting the United Nations in Iraq," Foreign Ministry spokesman Herve Ladsous said.




I hope the 'W' regime is ready to start sharing pieces of the oil drilling contract pie they went there to grab in the first place. If they don't start handing out the goodies they won't get the help they need.
Greed got them (and us) into this mess - their arrogance has left them isolated.

I can. Not threatening the USA, but aiding other terrorist groups, definitely. Some of those Arabs were given training by experienced IRA operatives. There has been a fair degree of cooperation and collusion between all terrorist groups in the world.

Having said that, I recommend leaving the IRA out of this. Most of you know nothing about the situation in Northern Ireland save what you get from the British propaganda. Ever hear of Bloody Sunday? Not the one in Michael Collins' time, but the more recent version. Basically, the IRA were completely inactive. Had the Brits handled it intelligently, there wouldn't have been 30 years of IRA activity. But they didn't. It didn't suit their purposes and it didn't suit their domestic politics. It never has.

You guys make pretty convenient distinctions between various types of murderers. What the hell do you think Margaret Thatcher, Senile Ronnie's old pal, was, but a ruthless murderess? What do you think went on that led to the Falklands war? Shlt, even the British military had raised some eyebrows at some of the orders that came from London.

Better if all of you just stuck to your own little theatre of games.

What a great system of justice eh? Turn the tables and apply this to Iraq.... no WMD confirmed until found, no war on Iraq until their global threat proved..... Saddam was guilty of crimes but not of being a global threat with WMD deployable within 45 mins as claimed.

ie. Iraq is innocent until proven guilty regarding 9/11 and WMD!!

10,000 people so far have died and this has infuriated would be terrists even more. You can't stop someone who has issues, strapping themselves with explosives and getting on a train. You can't stop somone buying a bottle of wine in duty free, breaking it on the plane and slicing someone's neck apart in order to hyjack it.... you can't stop terrr by killing 10,000 innocent people you just make it worse.

The allied troops in Iraq have made more people decide to be terrrists. That is a sad fact. There will be more and more deaths in Iraq and in the rest of the world, thanks to Bush and friends.

Also, the more Bush brings God into it, the more he is going to infuriate the Islamic extremists. That man is just asking for trouble!

Sadam was a baddie (most of the bad stuff he did thought was while he was working with the US!), round of applause W for smokin him out!!, but there were bigger baddies to track down only they didn't try to kill your Daddy and they weren't sitting on the second largest oil reserve in the world.

There is no jusification for 9/11 (even though US foreign policy in the middle east is and was seriously questionable and needs to be addressed)

There is no justification for the war in Iraq (even though Saddam was an evil man)

There will be no justification for Islamic extremists lashing out over the injustice of the war in Iraq (but it is happening and will continue to happen).

Blowing up mosques and killing 40 people in one go, while continuing to lie about the reasons for invasion is NOT the answer to this problem.

Bush is the greatest threat to the planet!
