So if the Chinese invaded us...to liberate us from Bush and company...you'd wait around to see if they were liberators or occupiers? And how many dead and injured would it take before you began to see that the invaders were not liberating anything but souls from the body? In Iraq there have been somewhere between 30,000 and 100,000 killed...many more injured...many have lost homes, jobs and businesses. What ever label liberator or occupier, you want to hang on the US depends mainly on your point of view. But I think that all Iraqis are now thinking that the US is an invader. The majority want the US out of Iraq. The situation in Iraq is much more complex then you have realized. There are three ethnic factions. Sunni, Shia and Kurd. The Sunni do not see the invasion as a liberation at all. The Kurds and the Shia are even split on the question. The insurgents are killing Iraqis, but mostly those who are seen to collaborate with the invaders. Sunni do not want to be led by the Shia. What the invasion has done is set the stage for a bloody Civil war. If we don't want a civil war then we have to remain as occupiers. It's the definition of a quagmire. Orca
