Dude, what coalition forces? Are you making a joke? There are only American forces interspersed with a few foreign soldier liasons to make it look good.

I'm only giving the non-American forces the respect that they are due. You can ignore the other countries that were involved in the invasion of Iraq if you want, but that's just ignoring reality. I'm sure their citizens that are in Iraq don't share that view.

Only a myth based hawk would call them coalition forces.

Tell that to the non-American forces in Iraq. I don't think they will see your twisted version of reality.

I call it "the coalition" because there were many different countries that actively participated in the removal of Saddam and the subsequent stabilization effort, and those countries deserve to be recognized for the efforts.

As for a humanitarian tragedy, nothing will change.....the tragedy started from day one of the war.

Go ahead and weep for the head choppers. You'll find no commiseration from me. I think the removal of Saddam's regime from our planet is a great thing, and the jihadist's decision to blow up their fellow Muslim's with car bomb is a horrible thing, and that they (the perpetrators of the violence) are fully responsible for it.

What you advocate now for Iraq, I have no idea. Usually something along the lines of leave and bury head in sand, if previous posts are any indication.
