    Do u feel better about Iraq now?

    I must say that even the left wing press here have said that today/yesterday was, overall, a success. From what I have seen a lot of the Middle East DO want democracy.

    Has GW won a few of you over?

    If I was at 10% pro GW before I may be 11% today... It could come crashing down later though.

          Why because Iraq held an election? Nope, I am still of the feeling we never should of invaded another country in the first place. Though I do feel we need to stay and take care of shit since we got our ass envolved.

                          I wouldn't want to be one of the elected officials. They may as well paint a big red "X" on their chests.

                                  Of course not.... but the last election, and it was compulsory to vote, was in Iraq

                                  The only option was Sadam.... and most of them have only known that option.

                                  I still hate Bush but he turned my head today... nothing more

                                      Potentially more fair than ours is (no I am not disputing Bush won with our electorial system).

                                                  The other arab nations will be looking at the success or failure of the new government. Hopefully Bush doesn't get nuts and invade Iran. Enough is enough already.

                                                      The way I see it is that Past Presidents, world leaders, religious leaders and even misguided rappers have been talking about peace in the middle east for 100 years it seems.

                                                      Until recently, it has been all talk.

                                                      Finally, someone has started the process to bring peace to that part of the globe.

                                                          hold an election is easy. people still died, and people still voted. Now lets see if any new government has any power over the people, or if its another afghanastan where the leader is limited to the city of Kubal or risk being killed. thats the hard part.

If all proceeds were to be re-invested into Iraq, this would be a VERY different affair. Unfortunately, this nation is being sold off in chunks. Ultimate model (Manifestation?) of privitization. where does that leave the citizens? Naomi Klien wrote a very insightful article in Iraq about the reality - Factories cannot get materials, workers are laid off, 'insurgents' (people who want dignity and food) rise. you can't leave citizens out of the process. by allowing outside people (Haliburton and other multinationals) to set up shop and exclude the very people they 'set free'.

                                                                                  But I agree. Bush did what he said he would. I wish he hadn't lied about the reasons.

                                                                                      Didn't the US try to install a US friendly gov. in Iran in the 60's (the Shah)?

                                                                                      Do you really think that even if democracy holds in Iraq (which, BTW could take decades) that the Royal-dictators of the world will all of a sudden relenquish their powers?

                                                                                      Another consequence of this is that now you have a majority (shiite) in power over a minority (sunni)... as time goes along the majority is gonna bear a grudge against the minority (see Rawanda 1994) and commit mass genocide.

                                                                                      Anyways I hope it(democracy) sticks so all this crap won't be in vain.

                                                                                      And GWB is still an idiot.

                                                                                              Half the country is longing for the days that their president embarassed them by molesting fat thong wearing interns inbetween opportunities to cut the military budget.

That shows me those people really want this and are willing to do what it takes to have change in their country.

In the long run the victims are still going to be the Iraqi people who have just had several generations of civil war thrust upon them by Dubya et al.

                                                                                                                  Once this puppet government is installed the west is going to start sucking the oil out of Iraq and the Iraqi people will get nothing.

                                                                                                                                          Didn't the US try to install a US friendly gov. in Iran in the 60's (the Shah)?

                                                                                                                                          Do you really think that even if democracy holds in Iraq (which, BTW could take decades) that the Royal-dictators of the world will all of a sudden relenquish their powers?

                                                                                                                                          Another consequence of this is that now you have a majority (shiite) in power over a minority (sunni)... as time goes along the majority is gonna bear a grudge against the minority (see Rawanda 1994) and commit mass genocide.

                                                                                                                                          Anyways I hope it(democracy) sticks so all this crap won't be in vain.

                                                                                                                                          And GWB is still an idiot.

                                                                                                                                          At least in Iran, they were able to do the overthrow with just the CIA & Iran's military..didn't have to send U.S. troops into that country then.

                                                                                                                                                  Worst case scenerio: The radical shiites vote in a majority who will then put a radical in the presidents office ( or whatever they are going to call the head fo the country ) and he tells the US to get the hell out. So we have little choice then but to leave. So the radicals are in charge the insurgence continues and eventually either this leader or one that overthrows this leader and takes over runs the country like a dictatorship and we are pretty much back to square 1 again.

                                                                                                                                                  best case scenerio: the Iraqi people elect a resonable representive. They have some shiites and some sunniis and some kurds and they put a moderate into the presidents office and over the next 12-24 months we can pull all of our troops out of there. This is good for us, but make no mistake this will not bring democracy to the middle east. The middle east has two things that we, and much of the world, do not have. 1. an obscene seperation of wealth. Most countries there have little or no middle class there are the very rich and the very poor and with that comes a huge seperation in quality of eductation. The very poor learn to count and read the Koran, the very rich come to america and go to harvard to lean how to run the country. And 2. the government still controls the TV and Radio and Press. Do you think the stories of Iraqi democracy are making it to Joe Arab sitting in his mud brick house in Western Syria? No, but he is being told how bad we are. While Iraq may have something that, at least somewhat, resembles a democracy they will still be looked upon by many of the other arab nations as puppet of the United States. In the end what we do in Iraq will have little effect on the rest of the middle east because when it's all over we still back Isreal and to the arabs Isreal = the devil which makes us the devils best friend.

                                                                                                                                                  I hopeful for peace someday but I am a realist. That part of the world has known nothing but blood and violence since the begining of recorded history. there is no reason to belive it will change now.

                                                                                                                                                                  Didn't the US try to install a US friendly gov. in Iran in the 60's (the Shah)?

                                                                                                                                                                  Do you really think that even if democracy holds in Iraq (which, BTW could take decades) that the Royal-dictators of the world will all of a sudden relenquish their powers?

                                                                                                                                                                  Another consequence of this is that now you have a majority (shiite) in power over a minority (sunni)... as time goes along the majority is gonna bear a grudge against the minority (see Rawanda 1994) and commit mass genocide.

                                                                                                                                                                  Anyways I hope it(democracy) sticks so all this crap won't be in vain.

                                                                                                                                                                  What happened in 60s Iran is different to now, you simpleton.

                                                                                                                                                                  And how you come to the conclusion that there is going to be Shiite on Sunni genocide is beyond me.

It's only too bad that Iraq will be pillaged for resources and left to fend for themselves. If all proceeds were to be re-invested into Iraq, this would be a VERY different affair. Unfortunately, this nation is being sold off in chunks. Ultimate model (Manifestation?) of privitization. where does that leave the citizens? Naomi Klien wrote a very insightful article in Iraq about the reality - Factories cannot get materials, workers are laid off, 'insurgents' (people who want dignity and food) rise. you can't leave citizens out of the process. by allowing outside people (Haliburton and other multinationals) to set up shop and exclude the very people they 'set free'.

                                                                                                                                                                      But I agree. Bush did what he said he would. I wish he hadn't lied about the reasons.
                                                                                                                                                                      Christ. More ill-informed drivel.

                                                                                                                                                                      The country is not going to be "pillaged" as you say. Nor are the Iraqis going to be left to fend for themselves. Iraq has never had a major manufacturing base. "Insurgents" are not looking for dignity and food - they want to install an Islamic Caliphate in which women are oppressed and Jews and Christians are made into virtual slaves.

                                                                                                                                                                      The main reason for the invasion was regime change. This was not given as the main reason, because the Governments calculated (rightly, as it happens), that a large part of their populations would be too dumb to understand.

If America & friends can pull troups out and shit doesn't go to hell, then I'll feel better.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      A lot of people, I presume foreigners and democrats in this country refer the US as being greedy. One post suggested that the US is setting up a puppet government in Iraq to steal the oil.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      If that is your argument, what is your opinion on all the money that the US gives out all over the world.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Isn't the US the most benevolent country in the world?

                                                                                                                                                                                                      How can that be associated with greed?
