Yes, libralady I happen to agree. You mention democracy, I saw the reaction of many of the Iraqi people when the verdict was read. This was enough for me to believe that some of the Iraqi's want democracy in their country. I also saw how many people turned out to vote, a freedom they never had before. I happen to agree that you cannot force democracy onto a nation. However, when people get a taste of freedom, they usually don't turn back otherwise.

Dont you realise how antagonistic this is, Teaschip? Did the Iraqi people ASK for this? Do you imagine for one minute that they have "freedom" now?
The US are NOT the world police.

It takes years to reform a country, it doesn't happen overnight. And yes, many of the Iraqi people did ask for this, however it just so happened that our countries were the only ones to take notice and listen. I realize there is alot of controversy, whether we should be there or not. However, I still take the stand of supporting our troops. Obviously, you differ and your entitled to your own opinion. We can agree to disagree on this. Again, wasn't this topic about Saddam's sentensing? Yet again, America takes the heat. Let me ask you this, should we have just minded our own business and left Saddam in power to continue to kill and reign over the Iraqi people? hmm

Well noted like my saying "don't let the door hit you in the ass". Believe me, I'm always up for a good discussion. But I also know when to take a step back, somethings are really not worth mentioning here.

For what it is worth, I never agreed with troups invading Iraq the second time round as it was on very flimsy excuses which have been unfounded. That is not to say I agreed with his regime either. But I am sure they could have done the job first time round when Iraq invaded Kuwait if they had really wanted to get Saddam.

How is supporting our troops...sending them into a poorly planned military operation based on faulty intelligence? And then watching as they come home one by one in body bags with no real exit plan in sight? Sounds to me like that's military suicide. I support them by asking Pres. Bush to bring them home and STOP involving our country in military actions that bring nothing but death and destruction. Maybe you are reading different newspapers and watching different news than me..but it looks like Iraq is hell on earth now and maybe worse than before. No disrespect to the people living there, I am sure they are wonderful people put into a tough situation by political gaming.
