Iraq

ok i agree Sadam Hussien is very bad. but what the fuck is bush doing!!!!!!!! 2 million have already died from sanctions against Iraq. so what is bombing and starving people in Iraq gonna do. this is the shit which causes people like Usama Bin Laden in the first place. think what a world we would live in if we didnt overthrow the democraticlyelected leader of Iran in the 50's and put in the Shah but then again the us just loves working with oppressive dictators.

truthaddict,
The threats that the ruling classes have been making against the country of Iraq only shows and exposes them for what they really are and how they are incapable of solving problems.

Ever since 9/11 and the 'patriotic" buildup about the U.S. being the "greatest country" in the world, these events concerning Iraq, the Phillipines, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Cuba, Colombia etc etc only show that the US is acting out of a position of weakness.

One can clearly see that there is mixed signals within the ruling class about the "fate" of Iraq. Some want all out war, some think that it is not the time to goto war [but still want regime changes to take place.] Some sectors of the bourgeiosie realize that going to war will only hurt them...and of course it exposes the ruling class in serious crisis.

Bush et al, are determined to solve problems through the use of force and aggression. One can see how they are trying dominate this use of force and exclude themselves from the rule of law when they present themselves to the UN and the National Security Council. The so-called Might Makes Right [and to Monopolize on this Might]

The only thing the us will get out of attacking ,other countrys and putting sanctions that more people will believe in the terrorist that say they are the real evil and more attacks an terrorist will emerge.

revolution is long overdue in iraq but i do not want it under american terms.

revolution is needed in iraq for the people and not for the coffers of the bush administration boosting revenue and popularity

haha, who ever said the US government is acting out of weakness? The government has never been more powerful.

Whoever still thinks that the US government is stupid has not yet solved the political equation. This government is so smart and so powerful that it is not even afraid of it's own people anymore. This government is SO OPEN about it's foreign policy it's ridiculous.

If there is one lesson to be learned of the history of the United States, it is that it never reacts... Interperete that anyway you want.
