The Iraqi government have created a set of laws. One of those laws demands that paramilitary groups should be merged with the nation's authorized security forces. They are also gathering weapons and weapons cache's from many neighborhoods as Iraqi and US forces go through them in an attempt to disarm the militia's.

It's not an easy process and will take time. An over night solution is not possible and no amount of whining about the situation will speed it up. All it does is reinforce the belief that Iraq has no hope and will never be a stable, democratic country.


Who enforces the laws that are passed by the gov't? The police? The military? Neither of these groups are as powerful as the militias, and they sure aren't about to throw down with people who they actually agree with.

I understand the process will 'take time' but I'm not nearly as optimistic as you are about the final outcome, because there hasn't been an ounce of proof that things are going the right way in Iraq for quite some time.

There is a considerable difference between a state-sanctioned and approved torture and a kidnapping/torture.

Really? I doubt a victim of torture would agree with you.

All the accusations about torture are lies.
Anyway Iraqis are use to it and they were terrorists, and this is all leftist lies to discredit the war on terror.

A sterling post . . . you should make new friends here quickly, members of your own calibre, such as Okie, Woiyo, Gunga . . . yes, exactly the same calibre--sort of big bore, you know?
