    imposing anything doesnt work... i think it can be helped with some guidance...but ultimately it has to evolve naturally

    the problem is the oil... no side wants to relinquish rights to the natural resource ( i assume)

    hehe, split the revenue, easy from here ;)

    You know the argument for bringing democracy to the Middle East. You might not agree with it, but you know it I'm sure...

    are you talking about "democracy" in quotes or real democracy...?

    hamas and hezzbolla were both elected in democratic elections...right..?

    an easy way would be to stop arming and supporting them

    panama...hmmm we helped a cia agent take power and later he became a threat...

    iraq...hmmm we helped keep a ruthless dictator in power and sold him weapons and later he became a threat

    afghanistan...hmmm we supported them, too

    iran...hmmm, we sold them thousands of missiles and rockets at the same time we were arming saddam, supposedly to fight iran...and now we say they are a threat...

    we help destablize the world
    And that whole "democracy" crusade the bush administration has led us on was like poking and adding gasoline to a fire..

    so i just popped on the board and counted 23 threads about israel/palestine/lebanon... and there was 1 about the iraqi death squads, 1 stating william donohue is a "tool and jackass", one on abortion, 1 on the french attacking a peaceful greenpeace ship in 1985, and my favorite one: 1 about guys trying to break the record for largets joint in the world

    so my point is (i guess) that the situation in iraq is at its worst... 3000 civilians are now being killed monthly (how may "insurgents"?) and nobody is paying attention...

    this is not to downplay the current spreading conflict... or the impending regional war that will likely last 20-50 years... but it is the point to remember that the situation in Iraq is getting worse
    I blame the media.
