Dear Calm: I now know what your point is, and I agree with most parts of it. I also see how the misunderstanding happened. Me, and I'm sure many others in this forum, thought you posted the video as you agree with it - as a means to express your own opinion, rather than demonstrate the opposite one. However, I don't think it is purely us to blame for the sorry state of Iraq - and the middle-east in general, but also the Western governments for so ruthlessly exploiting our situation. They are the ones who placed one dictator after another on us, and funding and arming their bloody revolutions, who are nothing but their ****es - they are traitors who care nothing about their country and people, but only for their greed, quenched by the scraps the West throws them from the feast table of exploited resources, while their country starves and never develops. I also highly doubt that 'liberation' was the coalitions goal in invading Iraq, in my humble opinion, Saddam has become freed from their puppet strings, and stopped paying them their cut, so it was time for a more loyal leader to take over. Also, please try to imagine how any other country, not necessarily a western nation, would have been if it was put in Iraq's shoes for the past 50 years. I'm not trying to make excuses, but people are people everywhere, and the way Iraqis have managed to cope with what has been thrown on them, and rise again from the ashes, is quite impressive. The situation in Iraq is appauling, but what do you get when all the prisoners (not political ones, they all happened to mysteriously diappear in Saddam's time) - the scum of society; psychos, violent people, perverts, thieves, degenerates etc... are set free, and all security forces scrapped. Add this to military disbandment and easily available weapons, and foriegn and domestic extremist political groups who fool those idiots to join for 'Islam', and you'll get an Iraq anywhere in the world. I really can't see anything much more an average Iraqi there can do. As someone in the UK, I try my best to explain the situation in Iraq, and how it isn't in our nature as a people to be like that to my friends, as well as making them imagine how 'appocolyptic' the UK will be like if the same happened here. A also had a debate with a friend who voted for the current government in the elections, and tried explaining to him how instead of voting based on religion or ethnicity, we should vote for what we think is best for Iraq. Lets hope Iraqis learn from this example for the next elections - that is if militia-men wont force them into voting for their masters.
