OK. I agree that repression is a contributing factor to terrorism, but then why is there so much terrorism in Iraq? Why don't they get their act together so that we can leave and they can enjoy Democracy and freedom?

Because democracy ain't worth a buck if you don't have a job and 36% of Iraqis are unemployed....and many more are underemployed. Remember how the US didn't do a lot of post war planning when Bush decided to attack Iraq. Well?

I lay that blame right at the doorsteps of stupid Muslims who would rather fight each other and kill a bunch of innocent civilians, rather than build a free country together.

You are being unfair. If you lived in the conditions that Muslims, do you would be a very different person from the one you are now.

And remember Muslims are capable of doing great things........revisit this slide show of Teheran. Teheran could be any city in the US and Europe. Look at the people closely.....they are artistic, into sports, eat hamburgers, enjoy life....just like Americans. Look at the buildings, at the tree lined streets, the backdrop of the mts, fountains.......these are creative people who like beauty:

Forget the rhetoric of Bush and Ahmadinejad......they don't truly represent Americans and Iranians. Again, we, the people, need to take charge.
