Iraq is not Russia. Read Red6's post #16. Read early American history.
Socialism is bad for you, by the way.
Always nice to hear intelligent, first-hand analysis. Thanks!
You’re right! Iraq is not Russia. It is a barbaric sh*thole compared to Russia.
What Iraq needs is a benevolent dictator - and frankly one that isn’t so benevolent. The Kurds should be made independent and we should set up a large and permanent base in “Kurdistan” up north. Screw the Turks - with the cold war over we don’t need them. We could protect the Kurds, the Kurds could protect us and we could project power into the region at a moments notice.
MUCH cheaper than compassionate nation building. MUCH more effective. Unfortunately President Bush was too nice to make the correct choice. 1 trillion in debt, too much sacrifice by our Finest, AND NO REAL RESULTS. That’s what compassion has gotten us.
