IRAQ was "LIBERATED". They no longer live under a dictatorship. BUT FREEDOM isn't free.......they all must step up to the plate and WANT their new found freedom.......WE CAN'T MAKE THEM! In the end they will get what they deserve. Just like this country.
Let's face it, if they wanted it bad enough they would've overthrown Saddam themselves. There's a reason why an SOB like Hussein was allowed to hold power for so long over there, and it's a reason that many refuse to acknowledge. .....it's way to politically incorrect to do so.
"BUT FREEDOM isn't free.......they all must step up to the plate and WANT their new found freedom.......WE CAN'T MAKE THEM!"
Want their newfound freedom especially when you got pyschos all over willing to blow themselves up for anything or nothing-very easy to say for folks like us when we sit safely thousands of miles away-imagine the fear that is going on in the minds of these people.It was obvious that once Saddam got kicked out, old religious wounds would be opened all over again-it's just a sign of that(like the precise attacks on Shiite shrines in Karbala)-
Let's face the facts,Iraq may be better off-but the law & order machinery is HARDLY functional especially so if you belong to a minority.Now with people who were once persecuted in positions of power(army,policy etc),you can expect plenty of political vendetta & bloodletting.
Bout comparing to how people get their rights in the US(or any other democracy,they are so far apart,u cannot compare them
1.Iraq is not yet a democracy
2.citizens need to feel safe before they go out to register complaints or file petitions.
3.a degree of civilisation would help-you don't have people blowing up policemen(& stations) in NJ or CA every few days,do you
