Whatever we do, let's not "fix" this problem by admitting these ass-clowns to the USA as "refugees."

Whatever we do, let's not "fix" this problem by admitting these ass-clowns to the USA as "refugees." That is one of my biggest worries - how many are we going to deem worthy of bringing into this country. I say none - if their country is going to be rebuilt and become a democracy - it will need all it citizens over there - we do not need them.

Notice how quickly the Iraqis learn. In a Baghdad hotel an Iraqi woman shouted "Americans go home" after U.S. troops entered the lobby. At a POW camp there are daily riots. We know would have happened in both instances if Hussein was still in power and these acts of disobedience were directed at his regime. I am reminded of the "useful idiots" who protest in the U.S. or, even, those who protest against Israel or seek to commandeer a Cuban ferry. They know the difference between the reaction from a civilized nation verses a totalitarian state. Except a few unfortunately have miscalulated in the West Bank. But, notice none of those brick and mortar shields (after all they seek to protect houses) have ever gotten on an Israeli bus to protect school children from homicide bombers.

It's a problem. A lot of these people are incorrigible, and we don't really want to spend the next fifty years keeping them under guard.

Indeed. A taste of standard Iraqi justice would go a long way to calming things. Hopefully we are doing more than taking away the ringleaders' morning Fruit-Loops.

His 'viable solution' is to make a mockery of Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence.

During World War II, there was a big problem with German POW camps in the U.S. The hard-core Nazi POW's terrorized the other German POW's and enforced Nazi orthodoxy.
The problem was addressed by segregating the hard-core Nazis from the rest of the German POW's within the same camp and even creating separate camps for the hard-core Nazis.
In Iraq, this has already been done. The regular Iraqi Army POW's were simply allowed to go home. The Iraqis still locked up are the hard-core Baathist fanatics and these are the ones that are now causing trouble.
It will not be possible to simply release these fanatics once the war is over. They will only start terrorizing their fellow Iraqis.
We will need to hold them until they can be turned over to the new Iraqi Government who can then deal with them in their own way......"O.K., Mohammed, we will give you a 10 second head start and then the lynch mob will start chasing you."

There are moments when I don't believe that certain groups of people are capable of civilization. I have to remind myself of the conditions in which they have lived, their education, their religion, etc. And I know that under similar conditions, I would perhaps behave in a similar fashion as they behave now. What an incredible job lies ahead for those in charge of restoring order and introducing democracy. When has the need ever been so great?!
How truly blessed we are to live in a western society! God bless the USA: the best of the west!
And...thank God for Christianity. Where God's son died so that we may be with God rather than our sons (and daughters)having to die so that we can be with God.
Their's is a religion of peace? Seems more like a religion of death and chaos.
