You paint these Al Qaida terrorists, who cut the heads off innocent men and women --who in no uncertain terms engage in ethnic cleansing-- as freedom fighters fighting for their homeland, against evil Americans.
Whereas the truth is, Americans are trying to keep these people (Sunnis, Shi'a and Kurds) from killing each other, to build a democratic Iraq where they can all live in freedom, and grow economically.


This is a good example of the kind of Naivity that always shoots you in the foot WB. You romantically paint America has these stalwart heroes but that's bullshit. We have alot of selfish reasons for what we're doing in Iraq. If all we wanted was world peace then we wouldn't be trying to claim the lions share of oil in Iraq. Let the Sunni's, Shia's and whoever the fuck else split it up since that's one of the big reasons there fighting. We wouldn't have interfered in there election (I still say that something was wrong there with the original person disappearing and Malaki coming in out of nowhere), if we were all that worried about Sunnis killing others we wouldn't be arming them, Nation building is an incredibly arrogant notion of thinking others should share are beliefs and system of govt.

I fail to see how it's okay of America to police the world and be surprised when other nations rebel.
