From the BBC - excluding UK troops the rest of the coalition have
9,500 troops odd - less of course the Spanish from next month making it about 8,000.

In fact they are just like black people, who could never be fully responsible free citizens in America. I say string em all up!!  :rolleyes:


So I ask you, how racist and ignorant can you be?


well i knew you would come up with something.
Where do i said something racist ?
read my post again, i said "Only Iraqis itself can build democracy"
And i still say your Idea or how you say "gambling" is an big Utopia.

I must have hit some nerv Grünherz, otherwise you wouldn attack me personaly. But i know the truth hurts sometimes.
And btw. talking about Vaterland, i have the same roots like you,
croatia. But i live all my live in germany, and i'm proud to live in
germany :)

Holden McGroin, numbers, nothing more. Have you talked to some
Arabs on the street ? or do you have some arabic friends, you cant
find a better source.

Ok Ghost, ytou seem pretty lost here...

However I am a hopeful guy so I will try again:

Germnay was made a prosperous free, liberal democracy, within a a decade of WW2. Before that time Germany had little  wish for or experience with democracy. In fact germans turned away from democracy and voted in Hitler party just a few years before. Personal freedoms were not too high. The country was militaristic and autocratic for centuries. Yet it quickly became a democacy under US gudiance.

Japan too, had nealy 2,000 years of either Imperial or miliraty rule with no democracy, few freedoms, a miliratistic spirit, staunch undeomcratic religion. Yet within a few years of ww2 it became a democracy under US guidance.

I see no reason why Iraq is differet. In fact i'm shocked that you as german is not able to see the paralels.

Thats all I can say, the rest is up to you. Chose ignorance, or chose reason, but choose...

Also I must ask are you really saying that your informal anecdotal chats with various arabs on the strrets in germany GERMANY!!  is more representative of IRAQI people feelings, experiences and opinins about the war than a thurough detailed scientific poll conducted in IRAQ itself?

Are you actually saying that? Seriously?


But hey its cool that you are Croatian!! :) Were you born there or in germany?

Because there is a far greater chance of me being wrong when it comes to facts and figures than the hundreds of people who check these things at the BBC - the issue remains 135k Americans, 8k Brits, 8k odds and sods - it's not a coalition in any real sense just a fig leaf for the Bush administration to hide behind .

if OBL had total control over every crazed muslim, they'd deal with him in a second

but he doesn't- heck the raghead leader in Iraq ain't got control over his crazed nutbag followers and they are right  outside his door ...

I do believe the Euros should discuss this with OBL, face to face - just let us program a cruise missile or two first with the meetings co-ordinates..

Wait... that was Korea, 1950-53.  Seems like Americans are used to carring the load.

You are like a ball, bouncing from one wall to the next... :)

Why are you so uncomfortable when presented with informatyion which challenges your preconcpetions?

It's fine to be opposed to the war, but that doesnt mean that you should ignore evidence that makes it seem that many Iraqis  have positive opions abnout it and are hopeful about their futures...
