The War again

Ofcourse, but the less resistance of the general people(Who do not agree with the occupying role of the USA even though they are happy with being freed), the less problems there will be.

I haven't heard about any protests since the start of the reconstruction effort. Are normal Iraqis really giving the US that many problems?

That's very good, noone has a right to anything. So what's the USA doing there then?

Protecting its own self-interests. Don't like it? Probably not. Mostly because it doesn't help your country's self-interest.

Seriously, though: The USA is occupying the country, and so it is, in fact, a hostile force. It isn't actually being speedy with handing over control to the Iraqi people, and it isn't the friendliest nation around right now. If they were to hand over control to either the Iraqi people or to the UN, they would be at least showing that they are willing to do anything to rebuild Iraq, and they'd be showing that they were not staying there just so they could get their hands on the resources Iraq has. Basically, by allowing the UN to come in, they show that they have good intentions, and are more a rebuilding than an occupying force, because they allow an international organisation that is not going to be interested in it's own profit.

Don't make me laugh. Do you honestly believe that UN member nations want to take control of Iraq from the Americans for purely humanitarian reasons? You've got a lot to learn about Politika.

The soldier suicide I've been hearing aobut in the news for the past two weeks....

When I ask you, "What soldier suicide?" I really want you to post a link to an article on the subject.

When countries don't abide international law, they are shunned or excluded by the rest. SO it is effective...

Right. Countries like Iraq have a LOT to lose by defying the UN. There are so many glaring exceptions to that rule it sickens me.

No, but that doesn't mean that they LIKE what is happening. *sigh*

Of course I don't think that, I'm not an ignorant twat. I DO know, however, that there will be a lot less self-interest involved, simply because it's a lot harder, when the effort is made by a lot of countries, rather than two.

I doubt you'd like a Dutch source, other than that, I have nothing. Try doing a google search, I could as well, but I'm too lazy.

Cuba.

And you think they'd like being controlled by the UN? Its the same master, but with a different name. Nobody in the Middle East is going to willingly accept being occupied by a foreign power or group as a result of British and French Imperialism. Hell, I doubt anybody would.

I did a Google search. There's nothing about soldier suicides in Iraq. The only thing about soldier suicide are numerous articles about a US soldier killing himself to avoid the trial for his wife's murder, and a story in Pravda about a Russian soldier killing himself from hazing.

Cuba.

What about Cuba?

As I've said before, the UN would have to at least give more control to the Iraqis to be any better than the USA, however, the UN certainly is different from the USA, enough to make a difference.

Then I'm sorry, but I can't help you out there either. Just try to trust me when I say that there have been soldier suicides in Iraq.

Cube has been ignored for ignoring the international "laq"(Or the US's anyway). So it's rather harsh to say that it won't work.

I think we've now arrived at the nice point where we all go ing circles. weeeee.

Hey, wait, it's already four pages and Hitler hasn't been mentioned? Wow, that must be an internet first(It's a well known fact that in any lengthy discussion, Hitler MUST appear at some time).

Bah! This meaningless banter is going nowhere!

Hitler shall save us all!

Scat scat skidoo!
