The Iraqi government is against it.

Can a single 'man" force a nation to fight a war it does not want to fight, expand a war it does not want to expand ? If he can, is that nation any longer a democracy in any meaningful sense ?
Didnt Saddam think he could do what he wanted too regardless of world opinion? And wasnt it the USA who said......"the world has spoken?" before we invavded, set up a puppet government, and occupied a foreign nation?

It seems as though bush has taken the same path as hitler, saddam and others, in the sense that t(he)y thought t(he)y could do what they wanted without concern for the rest of the worlds opinion or permission.

Once again alot of blah, blah, blah with NO supporting facts.

The Iraqi people and government would like us out sooner than later but also realize that at this point, it would result in complete meltdown of the country. Congress realizes this also.........If you would have watched the state of the union speach both sides stood and applauded when it was stated that this war MUST be won.

So you consider 12 million people out of 18 milliion going out to vote, risking their lives in the process a puppet government? UNREAL!

By the way daima.......this is political and I think you just may be intelligent enough to have figured that out. In the future when you decide to post this type of agenda in the lounge it will be deleted. There is a reason why we have 40 different forums with over 70 different sub-forums.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
