Gaza and people of Gaza have ever since been under the most inhuman blockade and war for that election.

Didn’t the Palestinians have free elections and vote for Hamas? Then Bush refused to have anything to do with them. So much for Bush and his “freedom” agenda.

Don’t assume that all Joe’s will come back as ignorant as when they left. Most will come back with at least a little education regarding the lies they were told. If we ever do have a revolution it will be led by pissed off vets. We do have an almost complete lack of empathy, but it’s mostly led by armchair warriors not the kids who were used and abused.

Peace!

“They have tasted freedom for the first time. They can vote. They can elect their leaders. An evil tyrant and his band of henchmen have been removed and the country is now moving towards freedom and democracy.”

In Iraq now there are over 20000 prisoners in several newly US built prisons .These prisoners are subjected to many types of severe torture ,and many have died while in the USA costdey.There about 5 million Iraqis living abroad as refugees afraid to return to Iraq.They are not free of fear.

There is no freedom or democracy under occupation,no matter how the occupiers try to paint such a rosy pictuers to fool people back home.

The moment the current government in Iraq start to realy act independent of the US,or try to assert any true sovereignty over the affairs of Iraq ,the US will quickly engineer a coup and bring another puppet goevrnment to take its place.Only people who labor under the delusion that the US is realy interested in promoting democracy would believe in such utter nonsense.

Except that the Iraqis DIDN’T do anything to him and the boys. Just another foolish misguided youth who thinks he’s defending America when he signs up.

Yeah sure Tim, anything you say. You just can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. And if those dumb AY-RABS aren’t smart enough to appreciate all that Americans are doing for them, then so what. Except…except..that the people of Iraq didn’t ask Bush and his neocon cronies to give them this alleged “freedom”..didn’t ask to be human guinea pigs in a massive political social engineering experiment gone disastrously wrong – and the American people were not told they were invading Iraq to make it “free” but because of weapons of mass destruction, except there were no such WMD. Everything you say is just rationalization and self-deception. The biggest lie is lying to yourself. You probably don’t even have the self-awareness to appreciate the underlying arrogance and supremacist nature of your thinking.

Robert Fisk’s World: Right to the very end in Iraq, our masters denied us the truth

The sentence ‘millions of Iraqis now live free of oppression’ is pure public relations

“I’m also sure that this is a standard “reply sheet”, sent out to all dissenting English people. The sentence “millions of Iraqis now live free of Saddam’s oppression and have control of their own destiny” is pure public relations – not least because it fails to mention that up to a million Iraqis have not been able to control their own destiny since 2003 because they happen to be dead as a result of our invasion.”

If else fails democracy would be as usual the last refuge of scoundrels.

So yes thousands of innocent people may have died?!

(may have died)!And what price democracy? Forgotten are WMDs etc.

“It is important to mention that Maliki, a U.S. puppet par excellence, acts only as told. After the January 2005 elections, the government that came into power had chosen Ibrahim al-Jaafari as its prime minister. When Jaafari refused to toe the U.S./UK line, Condoleezza Rice and her UK counterpart Jack Straw flew to Baghdad, and before their short trip ended Jaafari was out and Maliki was in as prime minister.”

“There is a tacitly racist assumption operating here. The Iraqi people are depicted as murderous by nature. It is suggested they would love to kill each other if it weren’t for the benevolent, civilised order being bestowed on the country by the US. Every part of this equation is completely wrong.

Firstly, it is Western leaders who seem to be the inherently murderous ones. The brutal occupation follows a decade-long sanctions regime that caused a million deaths since the last US war on Iraq in 1991. This has devastated the Iraqi economy, destroyed much of Iraqi civil society, and created a situation where criminal elements can manufacture a power base using sectarian garb to grab a share of the wealth.”
