Situation in.................................. Iraq

[brakada]

Well, we have to back to it someday, so why don't we start just now. The gov in Iraq is in their position. Although it is not democratically elected, things are slowly and finally turning to the better. I read an interview with an Iraq guy, living in Slovenia, and as soon as I find some time, I will translate it.

Oh, and feel free to express all your athoughts about the situation in Iraq... :wink:

15 more days till the $hit really starts to hit the fan...

A fan of Saddam and a Shi'ite Muslim bump into each other on the street. They get into a heated argument because each discovers the other's affiliation. The argument gets so heated, in fact, that the Shi'ite hit the fan.

Say what you like about The Guardian but these two guys really add some perspective on Bush, Iraq and the Middle East...

maybe my opinion would sound weird for you, but i think Saddam at least had a power there, now it's coplete chaos. NO DEMOCRACY can build now there, they are too young for it, there should be a strong leader that has a power

Changes should come from inside the country ( revolution or anything like that ) ... What USA did brought only chaos to that region, and it will take many many years for the situation to come back to normal.
Let the images speack:

But revolutions on the other hand can have lots of bad effects either. It would probably end with a civil war or something like that, because of the ethnic diversity of the Iraq population. I really don't know what the best solution would be to make Saddam loose his power. But now, the things are where they are and imo it's the "duty and obligation" of the coallition to put things in order.

The people over there wanted Saddam out, they just couldn't stand against him. My brother-in-law has spent about 6 of the last 12 months "aiding" in the effort. Countless times has he come back with stories of the Iraqi citizens thanking him and the US for being there. I think people need to pull their head out of their ass and stop watching the news.

if i was in charge, the middle east would be a radioactive crater as of 12.9.01
no more situation there

Hitler had power too.

I'm not sure whether this was posted on the old MS, but since it's a new start I guess I can do it.
