A 72% voter turnout in the face of threats and violence is pretty damn good. Hell, that's a better turnout than we see here in the states.

... there is a war going on there... (and your previous post - we did go in because of 9/11 and because of WMDs.... the third things we went into Iraq for was to AFTER WE REMOVED the wmd's and dictator and found the terrorists in Iraq. Then we were spose to help them set up a free government)

Broken U.N. resolutions, paying families of Martyrs, WMDs which are in Syria now(according to a Syrian journalist and an ex-Iraqi General)

That's not what is happening, they don't vote and it doesn't matter... they don't have a government and it's been 3 years since MISSION ACOMPLISHED.


They didn't even vote? Did ya miss that one? They voted twice in elections and once on the constitution.

I am suggesting that they follow the path our founders did where they gave EACH AND EVERY state the power of the central government. Something we have forgotten since we have a dictator. Bush is trying to set up Iraw like america and when 28% of the people he rules don't like him you think another country is going to be happy about changing to what we have?

The Iraqis have created their own system of democracy. Bush didn't set up nothing except for the first coallition provisional authority which was closed when Iraqi leaders took over.

why not just invite Sadam ove here to tell us how we should vote and establish a government?? Im sure thats what they feel like we are doing.... and if you think they hate our freedoms then why is Bush taking them away?? Is it giving the terrorist less reasons to hate us??
LOL....try again! 80% of that country was held poor and persecuted by the Bathists and Saddam. The Kurds and Shi-ites were more than pleased to see him go....which is why out of the 18 providences in Iraq there is only 3 with any type of insurgency.

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
