I think you need to step back, take a deep breath, and calm down. The US isn't Nazi Germany, and its citizens won't be as tolerant of abuses as Germany's citizens were, for a variety of reasons AND we are much more sensitive to world opinion then Germany was. The most important reason we won't be staying is that American parents aren't going to want their sons and daughters killed in Iraq, for a neocon smokescreen of democracy in the ME that no one thinks they can deliver on (and that does not mean that democracy is impossible there, it simply means this is a very silly way to try to go about achieving it).

I think the odds of concentration camps in Iraq are nil (at least of concentration camps built by the US- what the Sunnis, Kurds and Shiites will do to each other is another matter entirely).

You often have interesting things to say, but then you come off the wall with this nutty stuff. It's a turn off. Turn ons? Logic, moderation, a sense of proportion.
