The images seen on TV are only a small prtion of whatits like on bagdad. There is also alot of looting, rioting, and general chaos. What the bush administartion has failed to realize is that for years, the Iraqi government has looked after everything. To just waltz in and say "now your free" is kinda likeing taking a small child, dropping them off ina big city and saying "ok, go fend for yourself now." I would like to see Iraq become a democratic society, but I'm not convinced that the bush administration has figured out how to go about it with out there being a huge civil war in iraq as soon as american forces leave.

yeah, you are right, they weren't kurds. and even if they were, what would that mean? the kurds aren't allowed to rejoice over the ending of saddam's regime? they suffered as much as anyone else.

Saddum didn't look after EVERYTHING, most iraqi's starved, lived in filth, had no medical attention, and lived in fear of the police. So he didn't really look after them unless they were police or military members. And most of the looting is being done in the palaces, gov. building, UN offices (can you blame them on this one the UN didn't give a FUCK about them), or gov. owned warehouses.

over here in Belgium all we see is the looting of the baghdad people.
the same people have to stop the looting , and what do the american and british soldiers do ???????, nothing they're just standing there to watch
what was the purpose of the war? disarming irak, I haven't seen any massdestruction weapons yet, you have ?
It's all fake that war, oil, money ,media
the thing you hear over here is that the american people are being brainwashed by the television and that they only show you what bush wants to.
american souldiers take videotapes and evidence material that can work against america away from the european cameramen is that democratic, thats fucking hitler 2
i deffinitly agree with the fact that sadam is wrong, but war is even more wrong,
there are now already more civilian victims than in golf war 1
if america had finished it then there would be no problems any more, but no they just went away, sadam killed everyone who worked together with america, and now they have to make that good !!! and also again the money oooooo yeah sweet money
a couple of days ago there was a massacre in congo, does bush does something about that ??? no there no fucking money,

first of all, american tv doesn't show us what bush wants us to see, they show what will get them ratings.
secondly, it sounds to me that you are being brainwashed if your media is so obviously biased.
thirdly, Saddam is "fucking hitler 2", not the US soldiers.
fourthly, america was asked to free Kuwait in gulf war 1. they did that. they were not asked to remove saddam. The UN said that they would require him to destroy all his WMD's and such. If the UN did their job sometime within the last 12 years and 17 resolutions, there would be no war today.
Fifthly, the french step in when the Ivory Coast was in turmoil, yet not when Iraq is. why? the Ivory Coast was a former French colony, and they have alot of money invested in that region. the funny thing is, they have a lot of money invested in Iraq illegally, and going in there would have exposed that. typical of the french, hypocrits.

Does your meda even show or tell you what is being looted? Almost all of it is government building and former army/gov. officials homes and offices.
The first "golf" war was to get saddum out of kuwait, not to take over iraq because the UN didn't want to. And what would have been different doing it then, then doing it now?
And as for brainwashing at least we have public media that isn't state run, of course your gov. is trying to make this war look bad becasue they put all there faith in the unproductive UN that was proven uneffective.
Also why doesn't your "great" caring socialist governmetn do something about Congo, or any country for that matter, when was the last time Belgium did any thing to make this world a better place or help an impoverished people.

yes our media does tell us that the government buildings are almost exclusivly being looted. private homes and buissnesses for the most part have been spared. they loot the buildings of the same government that killed millions of their own citizens and repressed its population. i have no problem with that, since for the most part they have been relatively peaceful (as far as lootings go)
We didn't take saddam out in the first gulf war because the UN said they would enforce their resolutions and garuntee that he would not be a threat to anyone. 12 years and 17 resolutions later, the UN was still saying that they need more time.
Our government isn't socialist. I seem to recall the belgium army running away from the rebels in Rwanda and leaving millions to be slaughtered. way to go. I also remember the US going into Kosovo to remove an evil dicatator when the UN refused to do anything about it.

First its "nato." But i haven't heard. I guess we could trade ya forthe UN if you want.
Second have you looked at any other pictures of Iraq, other then baghdad which was the capital and a site of support for suddam, does your gov. even let you see other pictures? Iraqi's for the most part lived in poverty, with very little medical support or education unless your partent was part of the baath party, most of the cities had dirt road and wells for a water infraustructure, food was scarces and most of the what the UN sent went to Saddum or his military.
Also we already we and GB/Austr. are going to pay for it. But now countries like yours and Germ. franc. and Russia won't to help even though only a month ago they couldn't give one shit about he oppressed iraqi people.

it's a fact, you have poor and rich people ...

everything in baghadad was not bombed. there is a surpirsingly small amount of damage. we didn't even knock out their power (the Baath party cut it).
think of all the innocent people that were killed by saddam, all the innocent people rotting in some tourture chamber because they said the wrong thing, think of all the men forced to fight because if they don't their families will be killed. do you think they didn't pray everyday that someone would come a save them?

mind you germany declared war upon the US not the other way around
a major downfall of the german regime was the decision to fight on two fronts...
US aggression during 1941 was directed at the japanese (freezing assets and oil supplies) therefore inciting japanese aggression
many forget that if russia had not been an integral part of the war things could have been very different with a focused nazi military arm.

how is wanting to join this war, and knowing that it is inevitable that we join different?

well literally they are different things
wanting war is an active desire to get involved
knowing that war is inevitable is another matter as it implies that really either way if you want it or not it is going to happen

but yes it doesn't matter to me either way.

if he "wanted" war, he would have joined the allies when germany invaded poland.
he realized that war was inevitable, because at some point, the british would lose out to germany, and the US would be the only country left to stop the Nazi's and Japan.

Americans wouldn't have let him join the war after poland, so he couldn't.
And the second i've been saying this whole time.

No actually you jump to conclusion. I've been saying the whole time on THIS page that he
"wanted to go to war because he knew Britian had lost."

i dont know how to explain this so that you will understand.
He wanted to be apart of this war because he knew it would be a lose with out us. So enter turn he did want war.

if he didn't have to go to war, he wouldn't have. he realized that eventually he would have to get involved, but that doesn't mean he wanted war.
anyway, this has become pointless, we're pretty much argueing the same thing. lets call it a draw.

then thats your opinion i think it means that he did want war, and you dont. it doesn't mean either of us were wrong, just we see the same statement differently.
