Yeah but America does not want that b/c if they leave I for one believe that the group that takes power will be very anti-American.....therefore regardless what the USA does it is a lose-lose in my opinion...but as a nation the leaders should take responsiiblity for what their creation has turned into.....plus to not consider the hostility of rival sects that are present in Iraq is pure idiotic especially from those running the country...this problem was well stated before the war...and to say it was not means you were not listening b/c I sure heard it.....the US is not to blame for everything but they indirectly got this going and should prepare for the fallback......which is another regime in Iraq with higher anti-American sentiments than before.....which I hope does not occur but at the present rate I wouldnt be surprised....

And because America does not want that.. its ok to just allow thousands of innocent Iraqis to die violently every month.

Just look at the realitiy of the situation over there...
We are not Arabic and we are not Muslims... we will NEVER be accepted over there.
The only ones that want us to stay are the ones who are making a play for power and/or money. Their politicians are a joke... they make our politicians look like truth telling angels. Chalibi... that fucker lied to us about Hussein's capabilities and like dicks, we believed him. Now, he is the Minister of the Interior and the Oil Minister... exactly what he wanted and knew he could only get ifHussein was out of the way.
And their joke of a piece of shit army... your tax dollars are paying their wages. If they weren't getting paid, they wouldn't be enlisting. To them, the Army is a job, not a calling.
We are basically tightening the screws on a boiler... if we leave, the fucking place is going to explode. If we stay, the violence will continue to seep through the gaps and burn us... but, either way, we are doing nothing to cool the fires that are fueling this thing.
...
Add... I know that ALL countries go through a period of instability and violence and eventually settle down... and Iraq will get there someday. But, the variables are the level of violence that will occur and what will Iraq settle in to. The violence will be a long, protracted one where we'll lose a couple og Marines here and a couple of National Guardsmen there on a weekly basis... but, what will Iraq end up as? A moderate Arab State that is a trade partner... or a Shi'ite controlled state that will introduce more Islamic law into its society and look more like Iran?

I'm no supporter of the Iraq war, but this is just bullshit. Saddam and his thug sons committed their fair share of toture and rape long before we arrived.

What if he was torturing and raping the same people who are attacking and killing our soldiers and the same ones that support the attacks on our guys.
...
Wouldn't that make Hussein a 'Good guy'?
