We knew what was best for them, plunged their entire country into chaos while trying to acheive our goals, and now we are surprised that they are fighting back. |

wow-
you actually think you can compare the two? You think we are there telling them to convert or die? I'm sorry, but I am just agog at such "logic"- how in the world can you see the two as the same in any way? Not only that- but to acheive such a view you have to ignore the fact that alot of the insugency in Iraq is being fed in from other countries, it is not the Iraqis rising up en masse against us. It is also in-fighting that was there long before we did anything- |

To respond to NA, last time I checked there was massive escalation before we did anything in Iraq, with he exception of expelling them from Kuwait, of course. Do I really need to list all of the attacks against American targets that took place prior to the invasion? It will escalate on their side no matter what our side does. So the choices are to fight back, give in tto their demands, or accept their continuing escalation without reprisal. |

Here's one question: if all of the 9/11 bombers were from Saudi Arabia and all of the conspirators arrested today are from Pakistan, why do we wage war in Afghanistan and Iraq?
(and for the record, I get the Afghanistan part, but I figure it'd make a better discussion)

I'm not sure that the massive demonstration that occurred last weekend with over 100,000 Iraqis chanting "death to america" would support this. I never hear the Iraqis state "we want the foreign nationals out", rather I hear them say "we want the americans out". You are free to believe what you want but I have seen little evidence to back that assertion up. Iraq is becoming a theocracy and the opportunity for any real democracy is long gone. They understand this. We, however, haven't quite caught up. |
