Iraqis are known for torture. I think the Iraqi insurgents will probably execute the pilots while video taping it, like the newspaper reporter.

why are we there
-
We disposed of a monstrous dictator who chopped people up for fun.
After re-reading the article, I bet the pilots simply drowned.
-
everybody tortures. Some do it themselves some get other countries to do it for them.

Two pilots of a crashed U.S. Army helicopter were missing Sunday, after they crashed into the Tigris River
Yeah, I bet an Iraqi submarine picked them up...

We are in what once was occupied by North Korea. Yes, we kicked them out and yes we are still there 50 years later. If we hadn't stayed, South Korea would have been defeated and look much like North Korea does today, empoverished and enslaved, instead of prosperous and free. Maybe you should rethink your position?

First, we've got to have them disarm themsleves on the assurance that we are only concerned with our safety or some weapons falling into the hands of terrorists.
Once they do so, the government will declare that it was never about weapons but about them being non-democratic and attack them.

We will never go after them. Unless we find oil.
Also democracy isnt democracy unless the people of that country fight for it.

Isn't Canada a democracy? Our neighbors had neither a revolutionary nor a civil war and yet they have established a democracy.

fighting for democracy dosnt always mean a war. Plus your talking about a western culture. Everytime we try to export democracy into a 3rd world eastern culture it falls apart. If the people of a country want a form of government they will fight for it.

Because we *know* the un's fight for freedom is working. :rolleyes:
By the way, the newspaper guy was pakistan. They caught those who did it and tortured them to no end. Then they executed them.

Since when has the UN been charged with freeing downtrodden people everywhere?

They were Iraqis though! Working in Pakistan. They are the same ones than flew planes into the WTC! Damned Iraqis.

So I find a nation which achieved independant democracy via a negotiation table and It does not qualify under your blanket statement. Check
I guess Japan, who had its western style democracy thrust upon it and its constitution written for it by a foreign military occupation force does not qualify as even though it is an eastern culture, it is not 3rd world... Check
