Last I heard we're not staying! Are not the "FREE" and "Independent" Iraqi's taking over the running of their own country in June? I guess you just want to side with the dictator who killed over 300,000 of his own people. How many mass graves, torture chambers, and rape rooms did we find? Because of the United States 25 million people are now free to make their own lives better. Just keep digging yourself a deeper hole.
So the US just experienced a Somalia incident in Iraq

ALS, I think you misinterpreted my reply. A person in an earlier reply at this post basically said that Americans fought against French, British, and Mexican forces who were occupying various parts of what is today the USA. But the 13 original states were a British colony, the USA bought land from the French in the Louisiana Purchase, and many of the 'Texans' who fought against Mexico at the Alamo were actually Mexican citizens at the time-Texas was a part of Mexico. They rebelled against Mexico and won. Texas nearly became a country all its own (the 'Lone Star State'). But the people decided to become part of the USA.
The person in the earlier post was saying that Americans occupied by the British, French, and Mexicans did the same things as Iraqis in Iraq occupied by the USA. But the British in the original colonies were not occupying the colonies-it was a British colony until after the successful Revolutionary War. The French sold land to the USA and left after the sale. Trying to defend or justify what Iraqis did in Iraq recently by saying that Americans did the same to British, French, and Mexican people is silly. We are talking about different circumstances, different times in history, and at the times in question the British, French, and Mexicans were not occupying. And the USA BOUGHT a lot of land from the French.
I can hardly wait for the USA to be able to leave Iraq. It can't come a day too soon for me. I hope that Iraq becomes a democracy rather then a radical Islamic state.

We've been in Europe and Japan for nearly 60 years. I do think we will maintain bases in Iraq for quite some time.
My guess is the "Stategery" of the war in Iraq was to put us on both sides of Iran. For those who haven't been paying attention for the last 25 years they are the 800lb. gorilla of state sponsered terrorism.
We've earned these bases in Iraq through blood. We'll give them back when we please and at least we don't have to listen to our Saudi "friends" tell us not to let women soldiers drive or hide crosses and stars of David.

Well, the Americans who were killed were far from being "innocent"...they were private security contractors, in fact one was a quasi-celebrity, ex-SEAL and trainer of actors in war movies.
Given that the U.S. is an occuping army and has failed miserably to convince the natives of their evil ways; it is fully expected that their hatred would boil over when they catch their conquerers?
Remember when America was occupied...albiet a long time ago, how did we treat the French, British and Mexicans. Right, just like the Indians.
So it goes both ways.
What happened could have easily happened in a hostile American city under Chinese rule!

Mainiac you just proved what I always say about liberals and their real views of the kind of America they want.
The sad thing is that conservatives are such suckers for carrying out the global conquest schemes of liberals....the new world order and one worlders like the late Adlie Stevenson.
Libs. want to democratize the world, and conservatives wind up doing the heavy lifting....liberating IRAQ from Evil Dictators---who were created through extensive t.a. from lib/dems seeking to destroy resurgent fundamental islamism in Iran.
...as the world turns.

Mystic I'm sorry if I mis-interpreted your post. I must have read it a different way than you intentioned it to come across. My apologies.
