Yep, a nice civilized bunch. What I've heard is that this was a small village of a minority sect and that pretty much every house in the village was leveled by the blast. Ethnic cleansing all over again. It's no wonder this part of the world hasn't made any major improvements in the last 1000 years.

Yeah agree.If it were not for their oil wealth they would be like deepest darkest Africa. Now peak oil is kicking in we will not have to wait long for that.That is if they do not all kill each other first. Peace

If BUsh, Rumsfeld and CHeney didn'T go and try to get cheap oil, this would never had happened.

Under Mr Hussein, Iraq was a peacefull nation with a low crime rate, look now after the Yanks illegally invade. Oh and where are the WMD'S? Pah poppycock!

Civil war is on the cards, mark me words and a possible IRan style MUslim nutcase government, due to the good ole USA.

The only reason Iraq had a low crime rate before Bush was because the government was committing all the crimes. But I'm sure that the Saudi's aren't funding the Sunni militias, or the Iranians the Shia ones. It's all the fault of the US, after all.

I wonder who funds the Kurds?

Neil matey I hope you can point us all in the direction of that "Cheap" oil. It doesn't seem so cheap to me. Why don't you weirdo oil conspiracists get a clue. So do go and get rid of all petrol products in your house to protest that "cheap oil" matey.

"I thought America had won the War on Terror?"

That was before America had that huge brain fart in November 2008.

"The War on Terror will continue long after SushiSake3 and all of us here are long gone."

Exactly, exactly.

The war on terror was started by whoever was first to resist the spread of militant Islam.

That was centuries before America even came into existence.

Nice dodge at deflecting the blame for the ongoing WOT from GWB's wimpy feet. :-)

You are correct, as long as religions have power within governments they will continue terrorizing the peoples of the world. The only way to end all terror is to ban organized religions from having say in government policies.

Religion has been a rift in the peace process for way too long. Today the religion that is in a holy crusade is Islam. 40 years ago it was the Jewish faith. Before that it was German Christians and so on.

Well done pointing out a fact LastBestHope, most far right wingers would never have stepped out there like you did, for that I commend you...

BRAVO ZULU LastBestHope, a far right winger that has read history!

Sarge, it appears that you are still miffed about last November? Oh well there is always 2024, so do not worry.

Now about that "mission accomplished" that the last President hoisted up behind him. Me thinks he was wrong, and me thinks he led us into one big mess in Iraq that you guys still will not admit....

BTW, I know that you guys on the right (I consider you right and not far right like some others here :P) still can not admit that Bush made a mistake but I will give more time to accept that. After we have some more Taliban and Al-Qaeda heads you will come around.

It is only a matter of time before you accept the power of the dark.....Err hm ah,sorry, I was having a Cheney moments...Now where was I, Oh yes, it is only a matter of time before you see the light and accept the facts.

Iraq was safer and al qaeda was not there before Bush and gang Invaded for the oil. Only a matter of time....(looking at my watch)
