I haven't said and I will never say that US are Iraq oppressors.
Just want to say that in my point of view US credit is going down in
Muslim world.

And the Muslim worlds credit is **** in the US. Many people are of
the opinion that these people are incapable of policing themselves.

Yes but they haven't 300,000 soldiers in California so you cannot really
compare and know what they are feeling now.
Listen, your George, Dick, Colin... have unshamely lied to the face of
the world (WMD lol!), they have decided over NATO's resolutions that
they should attack Iraq. Now the most of Arabians are sure that all
these invasions : Afganistan, Iraq where perfectly prepared and
scheduled and that they have only one objective : oil and gas.
For them US are stealing their resources. So you can imagine what they
are thinking about your democracy, your security...


There seem to be two major sources of disruption in Iraq that
have little or nothing to do with the wishes of the average man in the
street. These are the Baath party members who are likely to become dead

meat

in the long run, and foreign terrorists who are full of fundamentalist
bravado and have come to Iraq to go hand-to-hand with the US Military.


I would like to be as optimist as you are, it's a sincere wish.


Except the foreigners are committing more terrorism against the
Iraqis to intimidate against cooperation than direct attacks on US
forces. I hope they accelerate the training and deployment of Iraqi
security forces.


Everything has a cost, depends on what *you* are prepared to pay.
