Constitution in Iraq

Doesn't it seem obvious to anyone that if the majority of the Iraqi people want an opperessive, mullah-dominated, religious-oriented, Sharia-based regime that is their business, and not ours? Are we going to tell them it's separation of church and state or nothing, American-style democracy or nothing? Who the hell are we to decide what kind of Constitution the Iraqis will have?

After defeating Hitler should we have let Germany go back to communism?

Ok, I meant totalitarianism... EXCUSE ME... pretty damn near the same thing...

"They are not liberated if they go back to an oppressive regime... "

If they are not allowed to run their own country, are they not in an oppressive regime. Especially if they are "conquered."

I only want to clarify that

a) before 1945 there had never been any elected communist government in Germany

b) the USA, the UK and France as occupying countries did not stop a communist government in the Soviet occupied zone of Germany.

I got confused because I just saw a movie about Hitler called "Der Utergang" I thought I heard Hitler rr Eva say something about a new communistic dream of sorts...

Actually you see Mr Red, the nation of Iraq (as it were) is currently suffering from the same affliction as the US of A. The Sunni's are the equivalent of americas Protestants. Neither actually has a theology, the both prefer democractic mob rule as long as they hold the majority and they both believe god is on their side with (their) god's law being above the law of the land.

what they need is to be left alone and sort things out for themselves as to what they need.

We (the American people) are paying for that damn war we should have a say in what kind of government is put in place...

You mean, if I understand you correctly, the other nations contributing armed forces, civil engineers, material and human aid etc. etc. to Iraq can just donate their aid as a gift?
And those aborigines their should keep their mouth shut per se?

Thanks, bear, that you put it so nicely.

Otherwise I surely would have been banned due my response.

Tonight before I sleep I will thank God that I didn't have to eat at the same table with you growing up... I'd have starved.

Since we put the most into the Iraq war are equally willing to bear all the brunt of terrorist attacks stemming from it on our soil? Probably so as long as it isn't where you live....

ah.. assumption and arrogance...the tools of the purposefully ignorant...keeps you warm at night eh Reverend Falwell?
