Stop it Mike, you're killing me! lol
I had an idea though. It seems to me that independence and freedom simply
can't be imposed from outside. You have to learn your lessons and take your
lumps. Why don;t we come up with an "Arm the Iraqi's" fund. We can buy all
of the private citizens guns, the get the hell out of town. Since everyone
will have guns, all will be equal. There will be lots of death and injury
(as if this hasn;t been the case for a long time), but in the end, they will
all work out their differences at the polite end of the gun barrel. Freedom
will assert itself, and they will either learn to get along, or die. We had
a similar occurance called the civil war and I think that it went a long way
to securing our way of life. Britain figured it out after we kicked their
asses in the Revolutionary war. Germany and Japan figured it out after
having their butts kicked too. How Australia figured it out, I have no idea.
Still working on that one. :-0
We've simply been too nice over there trying to "maintain control" and
"stabilize" the country. Saddam is gone now, let's arm everyone, get out,
and let nature take its course!
