  If it were backwards

  i often wonder how most iraqis feel about the presence of troops in their homeland destroying statues, searching through their homes, making sure the oil stays flowing over other basic necessities, etc.

  some iraqis may love the usa for doing what they did.

  but there are probably many iraqis that hate us even more than ever.

  I'm not Iraqi so I can't speak for them. But lets pretend the Bush declares martial law and suspends the Constitution of the U.S. He puts his pic everywhere and uses State resources to put up Statues of himeself and palaces in place of feeding the starving people of the country. He defies the UN at every turn and makes Americans the 2nd in the world in the number of refugees. He routinly kills Americans who stand against him and or their families. Any form of disloyalty is met with brutal repercussions. (Far worse than people not wanting to listen to your music any more.) How would I feel if that person was removed from power? Pretty "F"ing good.

  To compare Iraq to any Western democray is not fair.

  But, would I be greatful as an Iraqi today? No. In the inserections of the 1990's we told the people of Iraq to rise up against Saddam. They did. Did we help them? No we did the opposite we let Saddam keep his army and they slottered those who did what the U.S. (GW Bush one) told them to do. Then Saddam punished those who's families took part in the unprising. We did nothing but to put no fly zones & UN Santions. That was not enough. We suck big time for that. That blood is on our hands. We should have done this a long time ago. We owe the Iraq's big time. That's my opinion.

  WoMD ... so where are they?

  now, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!

  perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.

  now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.

  Guest 77,

  I haven't. BN had no info. What's it about?

  Simon,

  Tell ya what. I support the war (duh) a lot more that Bush. I believe that the war had to happen. Maybe not in 2003 but it had to happen. There still is no one to talk about to run against him so it's hard for me to just run him down over "feelings." I do wish he would shut up more. (back to the war) If no weapons are found in one year and by weapons I mean a quanity of material or the ability to manufacture such material I'll give you $100.00. I believe that the WMD exist. I'm thinking they will be found closer to election time. I believe that US/UK intel suck and that is the major reason that they have not been found post invasion. I've said so before the 1/30.03 issue. (I'll provide links if required) If proof of their pre-invasion distruction is all that is released I will honor the bet. If Ossama & Saddam are not found or proof of their death I'll give $20.00 bucks a head. Why? I don't know. But at least then it's not just "I think! No I think" when neither of us are in intel. Now there is money involved. I hope it changes the feelings. Now if you are right you get money. And if I am right well I bet this thread dies. Good enough for me. If you are wrong it costs ya nothing. If you are right then you are a little richer. What do you think?

  P.S.

  DR,

  Nice to have you back.

  Simon if I am wrong I'l owe you money. Ok Economicly it imo would have to drasticly change to work, expansion is not what I mean. I could give details but instead; if you swallow the U.S. someday then when I am wrong (in this reality) then I can look forward to a sweet retirement program and more fishing time. Sounds good to me. If it works and becomes global it could have it's plus's for me. (It would not be all bad) I don't even believe in Social Security here in the US when I retire. There may be something but if it does not change I don't see how.

  And money...So many other countries are so colorful. Ours is boring.

  Interesting ideals for government. So much money is spent after the marriage falls apart or discourages it all together. As to statistics most that make marriage a dark death sentence exclude marriages that already exist. There are some 80 million with 2 million more every year. There are some 1 million divorces. (Off the top of my head) so choose either 50% end in divorce or the divorce rate is like 2%. It depends on what you want to prove.

  JW's divorce rate is of 6% in the U.S.

  I'd like to know how many JW marriages are 2nd marriages. And define a JW marriage/divorce. 3 JW's in my in law family are byproducts of failed marriages. 2 were witness to witness.

  your post material is already in existence and you know it. I have every right to point it out. Simon claimes I am one the 2 worst of the cut and past posters on JWD. Could it be that posting things that don't fit in the fictious reality of "hate bush" is kind of like swating a hornets nest with a stick around here? Naw, your post to me of name calling and attacking was really called for. Mine was equally vicious.

  Reborn I wanted to say thanks for that graphic intensive post. I mean why do a link when you can dominate the time it takes to load a thread, right?

  Mark,

  Hate is a left wing ........

  value. Not exclusive but a value.

  incapable of being wrong, incapable of being bias, incapable of being obessed, incapable of being hateful. Gosh almost sounds utopian.
