TWATSON, I don't believe it's our mission to raise the Iraqis out of their mud huts. Should we remove ALL evil dictators and raise ALL people from their mud huts, or just the ones with oil?

In America one sees those who cheer on failure in America. Yes, but the question is why do you do it? Orca

Hey DUMB@SS! We, the U.S., invaded THEIR country. We, the U.S., killed THEIR women and children. You think if someone had come and invaded our country here and killed our women and children we won't be celebrating had we down one of their helicopters and killed the invaders? Get a freaking clue you DUMB@SS! We, the U.S. are the ENEMY in Iraq, not them, you stupid moron. Face the facts! Bush is a lying CRIMINAL. Iraq was NO THREAT to the U.S. None of the 9/11 attackers were Iraqis. No WMDs have been found. We invaded and attacked and killed INNOCENT PEOPLE. So get a freaking clue you dumb@ss and answer this question: Why is Kuwait still a monarchy??? Message 19457919

Thomas, I am wondering if you or anyone who has been to Iraq knows if it would make sense to fence off or isolate somehow the "Sunni Triangle" and basically just contain the elements within that area while we go ahead and rebuild the infrastructure and security forces of the Iraqis in general. Seems to me if that were possible two things would occur: 1. We could cut down on OUR casualties and the damage being done to the rebuilding. 2. The Iraqi's within that area would come to see that they have only allowed themselves to be damaged by the actions of the few Baathists and foreigners and possibly clean up the situation withing. In a year or so once the infrastructure elsewhere is completed, the Iraqi govt installed and the Iraqi security forces up to speed then THEY could "invade" the Sunni Triangle, clean it out and straighten things up. You think any of this makes any sense? I am just struggling to see if there is any other ideas that make any sense to complete this mission as painlessly as possible. IMHO one way or another the mission MUST be completed. If we cut and run thats the end of USA influence in the world. jdn
