Most of those being killed in Afghanistan and Iraq are muslims of a different stripe. Of course how can you sort them out of the crowd when you indiscriminately place a bomb near a restuarant, school or business?
These insurgents coming into Iraq are more after iraqis than they are our troops or those of other coalition forces. We just happen to be in the way. Sorry but that is the way it is.
Let Iraqi citizens vote on things they want in their constitution. Let them vote on rights of women, restrictions on police, safeguards to their civil rights (a bill of rights if you will). Throw it all in the pot and elect people who will protect the people's rights. When they're on board, there won't be enough money to buy them. Iranians working on a civil war will fail. Kurds will jump to the side that protects them. Government by the elites for the elites will never earn loyalty.
Citizens of Iraq think things are not going to be any different. They look and see a world where the powerful will once again take over and those silly enough to stand up will be taken out. Give the Iraqi people a real stake in their own country.
I love my country because my constitution protects me. Not because I count on one personality or another or one party or another or even one President or another. I love my country because my constitution protects me. And my property and my children and my believes and my rights. And the Iraqi people don't have that.
Why are Muslims involved in many wars around the world -- and why do they fight each other so often? Their cultural heroes are all killers ... is that part of it? Do you have some insight into this?
