And to think, before the Americans invaded Iraq it was one of the most secular nations in the middle east.
Admittedly it did have Saddam but it was either him or this new kind of Taliban style radical Islamic fundamentalism. IMO Saddam should have been left in power. If the Iraqi's had the balls they would have liberated themselves, but they didn't. That tells you they don't deserve or want democracy. Hell I doubt they even know what it fucking means.
One thing is for sure: Because of this war Iraq is now fucked for decades - at least - and will become a breeding ground for Islamic fundamentalism when US troops start to withdraw within the next 12 months. What a colossal fuck up. You would think the US would haven learnt a lesson from the soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Apparently not.
