Insurgents try to hinder progress towards democracy ... really ?

[Hristo]

Why should "we" be supporting, deciding or letting anyone do anything in Iraq ? It all started because of "we".

[Rasker]

btw Hristo, just curious, what country do you come from?

[Hristo]

Croatia.

US asked our government to send troops to Iraq recently. Yea, right, let's send our boys to die for someone else.

Grun, there are indications that the Sunnis and Shia are coordinating.  

Iraq's interior and human rights ministers have resigned,
according to pan-Arab TV station Al-Arabiya on 8 April.

"Kazakhstan withdraws its contingent of troops in Iraq

ALMATY, April 8 (AFP) - Amid growing unrest in Iraq,
Kazakhstan's Defence Minister Mukhtar Altynbayev on Thursday said
that his country was withdrawing its small contingent of troops from
the war-riven country.
"We propose not to send another contingent to Iraq" after the
current deployment of 27 servicemen -- military engineers and other
staff -- ends on May 30"


A pretty ugly picture is starting to be painted.

Funny.... You just reminded me of something else too...


Were the Krajina serbs freedom fighters when they were being bombed by agressor US planes during the 95 USA/Croat storm offensive?

I mean what earthly intrest did evil US forces have in taking back that small part of a minor euro nation?

Shouldnt have clinton said:

When the issue of helping croatia take back krajina came up?

[Hristo]

Let's say that US bombing story was actually true for a moment (and I believe it is).

What does it prove ? That US is no satan, that it isn't always wrong and it actually does good things.

Iraq certainly is not one of those things.

You really believe US didn't ask anything in return ? Please.

DMF makes good point about Al-Sadr. Al Sadr certainly is not a man to trust.

However, he is a product of this war. A bad man for bad times, but who is to blame ? Who started the war in the first place ?

Iraq, when it invaded a peaceful neighbor in '91. Why is this so often forgotten?

[Hristo]

And while you're at it, why don't you attack Germany for invading Poland in 1939 ?

LOL we did.

If these insurgents were fighting for self determination for Iraq, they would only need to wait until June 30.  I'm sure they have some other agenda which does not involve democracy.  On the brighter side, these are the people Americans need to be fighting and destroying in the overall war on terrorism, for Iraqi democracy and American society are both their targets.

What magic thing will happen after June 30 ? You mean when Bremer recognizes the results ? You believe US will recognize anything it doesn't suit its plans with Iraq ?

When will you realize that it is wrong to go invade another country and force anything on them - be that a democracy or occupation like Iraq ?
