Have a good one!:jointsmile:Psycho4Bud Reviewed by Psycho4Bud on . THE BOOM OUTSIDE BAGHDAD December 26, 2006 -- UMQASR, IRAQ WHILE the American political elite is using Iraq as an ex cuse for fighting internal political wars, a different reality is taking shape in parts of this war-torn nation. Wherever some measure of security is assured - that is to say in more than 80 percent of Iraq - towns and villages long left to die a slow death are creeping back to life. Nowhere is this slow but steady return to life more startling than in Um Qasr, in the southeast extremity of Iraq Rating: 5

and P4B, watch some interviews with Iraqis in Baghdad and the villages, if you can find (try freespeech tv-direct tv; or inn news report), journalists in iraq say in villages, militia run housing on any given street. In EVERY city, block by block it is controlled by either Sunni or Shia. In the beggining (and still occuring today): The Shia and Sunni each obtain new areas from enemys or new growth (militia going to a part of the city unocuppied by no1 but residents), and if they find a person living in a home on the newly obtained block that is a Sect different then theirs, they kill them. THEIR houses (those killed) are then used to for either 1) Militia housing or 2) Housing for a family of their Sect. ANY other houses on newly obtained blocks which belong to a family of the SAME sect is allowed to stay and lives under the militia's rule (usually qur'anic rule, understandably). So the DESTINY of the AVERAGE CITIZENS in iraq depends solely on which militia obtains their BLOCK. So let's say theres a 50/50 chance you could get killed by a militia that is different from your sect, ADD in the percent that you could get killed by a US Soldier-who constantly raid neighborhoods, and in fire w/ BOTH militias-and I'd say an AVERAGE CITIZEN has about an 80% chance of being killed during this war. With everyday life like this: not being able to go to the market (what fucking market), flip of a coin chances getting killed by a citizen of my own country (militia), 30% chance of getting killed by a foreigner (US Soldier), A PROCESSING PLANT doesn't mean jack shit in respect to it being or not being a CIVIL WAR.
I can tell you what this war is about:
ETNIC CLEANSING
divide and conquer, it has always been the STRATEGY: the US soldiers will continue to stay in Iraq until enough deaths happen, and of course to hoard the precious oil while we're at it. Killing people and taking natural resources is a fundamental principle in our history and will be in our future.
long time no see P4B, glad to see you found a kitten to play with while i was gone!

But now you've got several groups of religiously charged, pissed off hornets all trying to rebuild in the same nest. It's a natural order that's gotta work itself out on it's own and is trying to if we would get out of the way. But they're never going to settle down because, as long as that oil is there, someone is always going to be stirring them up with a stick. Lot's of someone's as a matter of fact, who's interests are best served if peace doesn't break out so that the U.S. can kick back and enjoy a monopoly on all that Iraqi oil.
When this is over, if it's ever over, Iraq is going to go right back to being Iraq, just like Viet Nam is still Viet Nam. We're not doing a damn thing for them, and we never intended to. We got greedy and now we're paying the price. Iraq is never going to turn into some fuckin'' Jordan. The only way to control it is to recruit another evil bastard strongman just like Saddam Hussain if we don't want it to be ran by some lunatic clerical order, and eventually all this shit will start right back over again.
Our best option is to pull Exxon's dick out of our butts, park the fuckin' Hummers, kick the farmers and Toyota in the ass, and start growing corn. (Oh yeah baby, gimme that good ol' American Gothic.)
*Whew*... if you'll excuse me I'm feeling a little insecure right now and have an overwhelming urge to go sit in some daffodils. I think I need to hug my persimmon tree...
