Iraq is finished.

It's just a question of time.

If the army won't or can't take back a town, the country ceases to be governable.

People will already be making their own deals, and allying themselves to various power blocs.

Say hello to another Syria.

But but but but Iraq is a modern, democratic state! O'Bammy said so! He said we WON, and it was now safe for democracy, and we could leave and they'd all get cokes and Micky D burgers!

[mistermack]

The only thing that would keep that lot in line is sheer terror.

Saddam Hussein was able to keep them in fear of their lives. A democratic law-abiding government doesn't stand a chance.

I say we take off an nuke the entire site from orbit.

It'll end in mass famine. The US bailed out the situation of their own making for seven or ten years, but the (w)hole is too wide in inter-human communication. Death on a Biblical scale is coming. Only a matter of time.

Not me, hombre. I got my land and my guns and my heirloom seeds, long as there's sunshine and water I'll eat. Don't mind a bit of long pig, either, so that'll help keep the larder stocked when the city folk start wandering the countryside.

That's why you are outside of the new great hope. What good is life with no sense of perspective and history?

So who is everyone going to blame for this complete mess, we going for Bush, Blair Obama the Jews or just the entire Iraqi people.

Best not start with the Iraqi people given so few are left.

The same warmongers who took us there want to go again.
We had to topple Saddam – now let's go back to Iraq to rescue democracy

Is this about muslims with sunni dispositions trying to kill the shitty ones?

Or is that vice versa?

[laklak]

They just need to keep on the sunni side, always on the sunni side.

Is the sunni side currently up, or down?

I think the shite is on top at the moment, but they all look alike to me.
