Dems determined to ignore progress in Iraq

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Who's supporting China?

France, in recent years, has done nothing compared with the US. I've never said France was so wonderful, either, except in their resistence to Bush's invasion of Iraq.

I specified the US also because I was responding to the quoted article whose topic is the US in Iraq. It said that the US was doing what others had failed to do in the Middle East after WWI. It implied that the West is superior and needs to guide the inferior Middle East towards enlightenment.

It also implies that colonization by the European powers during the era of political imperialism was good for Africa, South America, and southern Asia. It implies that the rest of the world is stupid and backward and needs our fatherly wisdom.

That's arrogance to me.

France intervened in countless african nations because they didn't like the government, and when they got their collective arse whooped (Ivory Coast), they cried.

China...hrm...Tibet anyone?

I'll repeat myself. France is not so wonderful either.

I implied that I don't support China.

So, what's the problem here?

I think that the problem here is as always: "But mom my little brother of the east just did it, why can't I do it, even if it's so notoriously wrong". Two evils don't make a good.

...whose carefully nuanced position on Iraq is: We're all doomed unless we pull out by next Tuesday! (I quote from memory.)

...the Defeaticrat Party.

...These sad hollow men may yet get their way...

Meanwhile, Iraq's experiment in Arab liberty has had ripple effects beyond its borders, pushing the Syrians most of the way out of Lebanon, and in Syria itself significantly weakening Baby Assad's regime....
...in conquering the world the imperial powers for the most part simply bypassed the Islamic world. They made Africa and South Asia and Latin America and everywhere else seats of European power, but they left the Middle East alone. And, even when they eventually got their hands on the region, after the First World War, they made no serious attempt to reform the neighborhood. We live with the consequences of that today.


What else is there to say?

How about "What a bag of sh*te from start to finish"

Yes politics is politics , but as the vice president is part of the current governmnet how can he be running against the current government
As for Allawi that is slightly different .

I haven't seen anything on the Vice President's comments yet, so if he did say so my bad; could you provide a link of some kind so I can read up on it?

Regardless, my post was aimed more at Allawi since his comments I had read; he's got political motives to say the least.

OK who has hacked SFTS s account. Ive seen people change but this is ridiculous. I think saying americans are at war with eachother is a bit of an overstatement dont you?

He's just going through a stage. Same thing happened to me a little bit over a year ago. I'm managed to revert mostly back, though.
