Ok ... many of us have beat the ***** out of each other here over the US
government's decision and justification to invade Iraq.
I think no one here wants to see Iraq fall into the wastebasket of
history
as another failure in the life of George Bush ... at least for Iraq's
sake.
So what would we like to see *and* why? What can we agree on?
Should the US pull out it's troops?
Should Bush commit political hari-kari and try to reinstitute the draft
in
order to increase troop numbers in the country? Or can this be done
without a draft?
Or just 'stay the course'?
Just curious ....
Cheers!!
Iraq is only one piece of the problem. The US occupation of Iraq and its
disastrous consequences is only a symptom of a bigger problem. The cause
of
this problem is easily identifiable in the insatiable greed of
corporations,
and imperialistic ambitions of United States, and other Western countries.
Hear, hear.
The solution? There is none really, but let's fantasize a little.
Yes, I would start with the US and Britain pulling out of Iraq. Then they
will also pull out of other countries they are occupying. Then they will
close down all their military bases around the world. Then they will
follow
up by pulling out their spies and other operatives from all countries.
Then
they will go to the United Nations and apologize for their arrogance,
their
lawlessness, and their crimes against humanity. Then they will turn over
all
their war criminals to the World Court and offer to pay for the damages
and
suffering they have caused the human race for at least the past 50
years....
(and I'll stop dreaming here). This will be a start to put things in order
in the world. A new era of freedom, fraternity and justice will start and
we
will all live happily for ever after.
Stat.
The strong man will always try to rule until people come to see the value of
freedom, fraternity and justice for all. Everyone. ALL God's chillun'.
How about the possibility that the US and Britain pull out or are eventually
forced out by a Shia dominated government? That ultimately means no US bases
left in Iraq to sustain the neocon agenda and aid Israel in it's agenda.
How about an Iranian/Iraqi alliance that will control vast oil reserves and
become a nightmare for the Israeli agenda and end up becoming a complete
debacle for the Western Elite's design on running the world.
It would be interesting if Mr. Bush's Middle Eastern foreign policy ends up
magnifying the world's "Iranian fears" ten fold.
All this assumes no possibility of a civil war that brings another Saddam
type into control in Iraq.
Eventual Iraq/Iran Shia alliance or another Saddam style tyrant. You wonder
which possibility best serves the Western Corporate agenda.
