Some of you guys have incredibly short memories on the situation. For one I would be disgusted if New Zealand troops end up going to Iraq.

Iraq was our friend in the early 80s.  If all these U.N. countries keep voting against us, maybe one day they will see M1s rolling down the streets of their capital city.

Yes, seriously. Not in jest, mind you, but seriously. And it very likely will if it continues on it's present course.

The Australian govt. has aparently refused US requests for an Infantry battalion to be deployed in Iraq.

Hardly surprising considering Howard has miraculously escaped the same political beating that Tony Blair is taking, considering that most Australians believe Howard lied about the extent of the threat of WMD.
But Howard was lucky that Australian front line combat units followed strict operational directives, did their jobs with the highest professionalism, and most importantly suffered zero casualties and were immediately withdrawn to Australia.

So I can't see Howard commit political suicide by sending Australian soldiers back.

I thought this was the kind of thing the UN was good at.  If they don't want to help Iraq just to spite the US, then **** 'em.  We'll do our best without 'em.

All the King's horses and all the King's men can't put Iraq back together again.

The Iraqi's have to do that for themselves. Note the recent car bombing of the Shiite cleric.

They're not ready to put Iraq back together again yet. Won't make any difference who's troops or how many are there until IRAQIS decide they've had enough.

We (the US) are going to have to stay and do what we can to preserve basic order and services until (if?) the Iraqis decide they want the rule of law and order. If they prefer the 'religious gang warfare' situation, won't be much we or anyone can do until they've had enough of shedding their own blood.

As for attacks against US troops, you've got to expect that. You've got the old regime's holdout/hardliners that still want to fight and you've got the Isalmic jihadis coming in from other countries to take a potshot at the Great Satan's troops.

Better to have them taking on our military in Iraq than taking on our civilians in the US.

But hey, the UN might be THE SOLUTION! Look how well UN intervention in the Israeli/Arab/Palestinian situation quickly resolved the problem and led to a long-lasting peace.  :)

(Not a knock on the UN, actually. Just points out that until folks would rather live than die, there's nothing much anyone can do to help them.)

I would just like to say I think this is fantastic.  Sorry Bush, I guess you misjudged BIG time when you decided you didn't need a UN mandate or international, multilateral will behind you.

Oops!

Meh... I say US should bring the freedom and democracy to Iraq, thats what they were so fanatically after for and whilst it slandered UN and some countries.

I knew it was just mighty talking from US, to persuade it's citizens for the war on Iraq.

Sure it's good thing Iraqis have been ridded of the dictator, but some americans should look at themselves for all the slandering of other countries and their mighty words, which didn't prove to be up to the value of the magnitity.



....OR maybe it is to be seen whether they're up to their words.
This ain't really it though

So far, the U.S. has lost less troops in the war/aftermath than a single day of traffic deaths on U.S. highways.
