I think if the Japanese, German and Korean people were allowed to vote on the issue, we'd no longer be in their countries either. There's no reason for us to be. The illegal invasion of Iraq was a misguided blunder by an international rookie, being manipulated by ideologues withing his own cabinet. I hope the chimp watched the Frontline special last night, and now has a clue as to why the world hates him. As for what I'd like, I'd like to see an Iraq created by Iraqis, not American guns. 80% of Iraqis want us OUT. Your kind seems to think they are incapable of this, but I have more faith in them. It probably wouldn't be a government we'd choose, but then, that's the point of freedom, isn't it? It's on the right where I see the call for the elimination of Islamics, that Islamics can't be trusted, that the Islamic religion is the problem, etc. YOUR people, Cummings. That's the only rascism I see regarding Iraq.

Thats silly Michael. The iraqi govt has shown nothing yet--its too new so i am willing to give them some time. Neither of us know for sure how it will turn out. What about vietnam? Same case was made there. And SK was no democracy back then and in defeated WW2 nations there was no resistance. This has nothing to do with race and it has more to do with stuff happening on the ground which is not always good. We need to win in iraq but you dont always get what you want in this world and our committments internationally just cant always be open ended.
