n 1932, Iraqis threw out their British colonial rulers.
In 1958, they got rid of the Hashemite monarchy.

Iraqis have shown they can overthrow dictators against the odds.
So why have they not been able to throw out Saddam?

Because the US and Britain armed him and propped him up while
it suited them, making sure that when they tired of him, they would
be the only alternative to his rule and the profiteers of his nation's
resources. Imperialism has always functioned like that.

The "new Iraq", as Blair calls it, will have many models, such as
Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, all of them
American conquests and American ruled until Washington allowed
a vicious dictatorship to take over.
Saddam only came to power after the Americans helped install his
Ba'ath Party in 1979. "That was my favourite coup," said the CIA
officer in charge.

Keep in mind the cynicism behind these truths when you next hear
Blair's impassioned insincerity - and when you glimpse, if you can,
the "unacceptable" images of children killed and mangled in your
name, and in the cause of what the Prime Minister calls
"our simple patriotism". It's the kind of patriotism, wrote Tolstoy,
"that is nothing else but a means of obtaining for the rulers
their ambitions and covetous desires, and for the ruled the
abdication of human dignity, reason and conscience."

The Iraqi people can't overthrow Sadaam because he is brutal. What is wrong with you that you feel the insane need to blame every ill in the world on the US.

Resist Sadaam and you and your family undergo torture and horrific mutilation & death. That is an effective way to keep control.

Just stop & listen to yourself for a moment. Sure the US is far from perfect - but it's nothing like Saddam Hussain. Never once have I heard you comment on him.

He is the evil monster that the US and the BRITS created, and who no one would have lost their lives to had the US and and BRITS not created him in the first place.

With that said don't you think we should clean up our mess? If you want to blame the U.S. for Iraqis troubles then wouldn't you want us to clean up our mess and take him and his group of thugs out. You are contradicting your post first you say it is none of our business then you say it's our fault. I feel you are a very confused person.

Oh - okay, we created him - in fact he is a robot, he would have done what we said just before the war too if only the damn radio control hadn't gone on the blink.

Willow - I feel sorry for you. You have this huge chip on your shoulder & feel the need to blame everything bad in the world on the US. Nobody else has any responsibility - only the US should take the responsibility. You are beyond doubt a fruitcake.

Keep on getting worked up about it - life here in the US is just dandy - what a great place to live, we'll just keep on laughing at people like you while we sip beer by the pool.

indisputable evidence about how your gov't is really set up, who really calls the shots, what this war is all about, who really owns your country, and as long as you chose to remain as ignorant as they KNOW they can count on you all doing, you will continue to live in ignorance and will continue to serve as tools till they pull the plug on your little dream world.
When the people of the world have had enough of American imperialitistic policies, and they band together to put you in your place, which is just a matter of time, you won't be laughing near as hard.
"There is one thing stronger than ALL the armies of the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." Victor Hugo
America has screwd over faaaaaarrrrrr too many countries where the people can't even afford to buy the clothes they sew and food they grow for your table. And if you don't think the day won't come where they will just say we have had enough - wait and see. They won't even have to fire a shot and you guys will be starving same as they are now.

Ok - well until then - good luck with your theories.

You don't get it - I don't care who owns the country - I just know that the US is the best situation.

Quote - "I could give you mountains of indisputable evidence about how your gov't is really set up"

Feel free to do so - but make sure it is "indisputable" instead of the regular garbage.

thus far you have chosen not to even read much less give any clear thought to. You are determined to remain a tool, living in your fantasy world where the news you watch is nothing but pure fiction and propoganda, same as what is drilled in to your heads in your schools. Just memorize and recite. Don't think. Don't ask questions.

I've read what you post - I just don't agree with any of it - you live in fantasy land

the truth, for the truth to be real. You live in profound ignorance of every thing that is real. I used to live in that same fantasy world till I heard the unadulterated truth from high ups who used to work for the fantasy factory. Same as thousands got the chance to hear it all, at the offshore conventions they have been holding to help educate people.
We are talking reporters who know how the game is really played, authors, former Judges, IRS agents, CIA, Bankers, Lawyers, Doctors, Stock Brokers, accountants who just couldn't stand by and watch the destruction of their country. And who wish to get the truth out so hopefully people can stop the machinery that is bent on reducing all of us to nothing more than cowering slaves, or prison inmates.
Why do you think the # I fastest growing industry in the US is privately owned Super sized Supermax prisons?? Why do you think General Motors owned Group 4 Flack have also built hundreds of the same - at last count - in 80 other countries in the last few yrs?? For fun??

Yeah - but what is your point? - so big deal you've discovered that things are not always what they seem to be - do you think that is some incredible discovery?

The point is - you have no point, the bottom line is a nice comfortable life, which suits me just fine - What difference do any of your paranoid fantasies make? Absolutely none.

You might have a fear of becoming a prison inmate - but I don't

Whatever is done is done to make money - and that is just fine by me.

And when they tell you to stand in line for that small pox vaccine, or any other vaccine, you be sure and go.

willow, why dont you just go jump off a bridge, seems your life is over anyway.

you only hate me because you know that their is truth in every thing I have said. And it is easier to hate than it is to face the truth about reality and one's self. And the truth is that you are willing to support the wholesale killing of innocent children just so can maintain your self indulgent life style, which makes you just as guilty of murder, as if you had murdered those innocents who have already perished.

Willow I think it is your truth that is screwed up. When is the last time you did volunteer work handing out food, clothing, etc...? What was your last donation to the helpless? When was the last time you went out and bought a burger for some starving kid? Once again I hear you b***hing, but I fail to see the actions you take to change things.

Willow-

Would you admit that the world has become a better place since the U.S. gained its superpower status?
