If the UN does something correct, I will respect that

You've got it all wrong.

Respect is not a selective thing to dish out when an authority says something you like.

>>>Do you have names and places for this mighty resistance?<<<
No, I don't have names and places but I do recall a UN spokesman say that the Iraqi regime had killed over 300,000 of Iraq's civilians and buried them in mass graves


How about some proof? Or is Google master out of links?

Even if true - what makes you think they were "resistance"? What I recall is most of Saddam's killing spree happened to full villages, killing elderly, women, children. In fact, I don't recall any organized resistance to Saddam that would be comparable to what your army is seeing these days.

So how many car bombs were blown around Saddam's palaces? How many of his guards were killed by road bombs? How many towns like Falluja openly defied him and fought his army for their freedom?

Give it up, Brumar. You don't look too bright claiming Iraqis fought against Saddam the way they fight against your army now :-)

Saddam was much more ruthless than the US first of all.

Oh really? Like how. Killed people? Check. Humiliated people? Check. Used Iraq's money to get richer? Check.

The only difference in the Americans' favour is that US army probably does not go as far in torture as Saddam did.

Other differences that are not in your favour is that Saddam was at least one of them. He was not a foreign invader.

We know the total Sunni Arab percent of the population is 15-20% of the population. Ipso facto, at least 80-85% of the population is not resisting at all.

"Ipso facto"? LOL. You think pig Latin makes your posts more credible? If you want to look cultivated, why don't you Google each sentence in my previous post and act like you recognized the Macbeth quote I was referring to? :-)

And as for your theory that Shiites are not resisting US occupation - What planet are you from, and is Moqtada al-Sadr NOT a Shiite leader there???

Unreal. You are as clueless now as you were back when you thought Iraqis would welcome US soldiers with flowers.
