If tomorrow the Iraqi Goverment would be fed up with Washington politics and say to the U.S. Goverment 'leave Iraq to the Iraqis as we should step up and take care of our own, so the Coalition forces should start leaving our lands as soon as possible". Do you all really think the U.S. would comply with such request?
No.
I think they will leave not one second before they want to - no matter what the Iraqi people say.

Also if Bush is so concerned that Iraq is the main ground for battle on the "War on Terror", why didn't he helped the Russians who have ben having their own supposedly war on terror in some of their former soviet republics. I think he turned Iraq into some sick version of a holy land for some of these lunatics that just love to blow themselves up for the sake of becoming a martyr.
Very good point - imo.

And yeah I did forget to mention the Turkish as they too play an important role in the division of Iraq. (By the way isn't Iraq a creation of the then British Empire?)
Yes, they did, I believe.


Great post (IMO) don_equis.
 
US dont want to help Russia fighting the people in Chechnya (go to your local chechnyian immigrant and ask him about the genocides in Grozny) because altho the cold war is over Russia still is being governed by the hand of a former agent of the good ole Soviet. So, helping the russians in hunting chechnyians would not just be pointless, they (US and A and Bush) would not gain anything from it. Well, a few good words from Putin maybe. Altho russia do have some major gas and oil resources beneath its feet. And besides, if some "western" country do come to aid Russia in their fight in Chechnya, then they must adapt their troops to the human rights laws and stuff... which they at this moment dont give a shit about.

And since this war has been going on from october 1994 (200-250 years if count the overall time) and most of the world dont know a shit about it... well I think that's how Russia wanna deal with it.

"The problem with Iraq is that it is full of Iraqis"
The problem with Iraq is that too many westerners think it's simply little more than it is full of Iraqis.

As I always say I would have said had I gone to Vietnam in complete futility, "We're not French colonists, we're a different type of Western, only even more Capitalist!"

You see thats the thing with the so called "War On Terrorism", the Russians are doing what they are going to do in the borders and what if China decides to attack Taiwan in the name of "War on Terror". I think of the many things that Bush has tried to sell not only the the american people and the rest of the world is that so called "Axis of Evil", clearly he is making us look more like a tumbling gian paper tiger going around the world looking for a fight after 9/11, so he thought Iraq was going to be a piece of cake. But even though you got some terrorist lunatics going to Iraq as their Holy Land to fight the "Evil that America is" you also got some legitamate Iraqis that will fight the U.S. as it sees us as what we are an invading force. I mean who's going to just lay down and let another country invade them and then tell them how to run their lives. If anything Iraq should be a warning and an example to future invasions of other countries i.e. Iran, North Korea, Syria, etc, because just like the Vietcong these a fighters that don't mostly do it for the money or medals or multinationals, but that they are highly motivated and truly believe their mission. We are altering the natural course of Iraq by creating a new bread of terrorist thats why the "War on Terror" has no happy ending and what is beign done today in that country is coming back to bite us in the ass. So this "War on Terror" has never been clear to me as I find it hard to swallow Mr Bush Bullshit. He needs to fix Iraq before he leaves office thats what he needs to do!
