The debate is Bush's war and what it turned Americans to; it is the core of the conflict!

Look I'm no fan of the war, but any bullying or brutality American troops are guilty of pales in comparison to what the Iraqis are doing to each other:

Quote: Outside their houses, the revenge attacks raged on. Gunmen wearing Iraqi army uniforms rounded up 21 men, including a 12-year-old boy, from two Shiite homes in the village of Balad Ruz , 45 miles northeast of Baghdad in Diyala province. On Saturday morning, their bodies were found, all handcuffed, blindfolded and shot to death, said Bahaa al-Sodani, a provincial police official. The attacks were in apparent retaliation for assaults by Shiite militiamen on Sunni mosques in Baghdad and Baquba the previous day.

Quote: They reported people attacking Sunni houses with hand grenades and rocket-propelled grenades. Shiite militiamen are also said to have doused Sunnis with kerosene and burned them, and shot at other people.

The United Nations assistance mission for Iraq (UNAMI) has said that human rights violations in Iraq are continuing on a massive scale amid growing violence in all sections of society.

Quote: "Human rights violations, particularly against the right to life and personal integrity, [have] continued to occur at an alarming daily rate in Iraq," the report, released on Wednesday, said.

Bodies found in the Baghdad morgue "often bear signs of severe torture including acid-induced injuries and burns caused by chemical substances, missing skin, broken bones - back, hands and legs, missing eyes, missing teeth and wounds caused by power drills or nails," the report said.

The monthly report said that terrorist attacks, the growth of militias, the emergence of organized crime had resulted in the large-scale and indiscriminate killing of civilians.

Didn't you see the end of the video? Those big Iraqi kids took the water from the small Iraqi kid after the gift was given from the American soldier on a race well run. It seems they not only won his heart and his mind, but his legs as well. :lol:

Iran/Syria are next in line. And Kuwait/Saudi Arabia doesn't have conflicting policies with the US (the ones that count, anyways)

actually, iran, and syria will not be invaded, iran maybe bombed a bit but not invaded, as far as syria, nothing really will happen, saudi and kuwait, well, they are not our best freinds and would like to see us change policies as well, they are allies by virtue of protection and economic reasons, more than agreement on policy and did you forget turkey? they are in the same boat as saudi and kuwait

just because a country does not agree with us does not mean an invasion, it does mean that they should keep thier noses out of our business unless it directly affects them, hence american policy not eupropean, or middle eastern, or asian policy

Don’t you think that you can easily attribute it the first cause?

And who dismantled Iraq to three entities, to factions and sub-factions?

Nice idea, shame that the US admin seems to to think that everything is it's business. South America found that out for a good span in the 70's adn 80's. Iran found that out in '53.

It's no good trying to say that the US just needs to be left alone to get on with it, because the IT seems to be messing with a hell of a lot of other nations. The policy would only work if the US admin bought into it as well, and they won't.

Yes Osama comes from his Wahabi Saudi background, and yes he was running the Eastern flank for ex-bodies CIA in dismantling the old Soviets!
