Perhaps, but its time for the people of Iraq to take destiny into their own hands and take control of their own country.

Sink or swim.....

About time one of these idiots gets a decent return on his sacrifice. I will never understand the mindset that allows a person to do this but I really don't get it when they only take out a couple of people. This guy was much more of a success.

I'm leaning towards that more and more each day... It's YOUR country --- not ours... Defend it yourself...


Hillary will take care of all of this mess !!!


ROFL

The thing is, when we pull out of Iraq, the Shiites and the Sunnis will wage civil war there. We will have no conduit for trade in oil. You pick a side, the other will make trade for you more miserable.
In economic terms, both those sects hating us keeps Iran and Saudi Arabia in check. Sourcing thru Kuwait, even though it's the world's largest producer/ sq. mi., has its benefits.

Id hardly call it a "sacrifice" more like Idiocy. But a success he was.

You can't stop internal civil war, they have to fight it out on their own like we did ours.

I don't want any more of our soldiers killed for sectarian warfare.
Support the troops.

Sad. Just sad.

Well, we did depose and hang the one guy who was capable of getting them to play nice.

huh?? His own people hung him. Not the Americans.

As much of a tyrant that Saddam was for killing all of his own people, especially the ones that could have opposed him.. Looks like him being evil was a godsend for that area.. Now they just freely kill themselves over a small difference in there beliefs...

You know what I meant. He's both no longer in power and dead because of us.

I was never a fan, but as I've said before, Saddam knew how to keep all the mindless zealot turds in his country under control - he ground them under his fucking boot so hard that they were too busy screaming to do anything else; basically daycare for cavemen. When they are allowed to operate unchecked, well, we've seen what they've done, primarily to each other, for years now. Do you think it's any better now? I sure as hell don't.

Saddam did what was necessary to maintain control, and we won't. Yes, his methods sucked. But NOTHING ELSE WILL EVER WORK WITH THESE ANIMALS. It's really that simple.

Well said....i cant say that i disagree.

Oh no, more bad news: John Goodman died in the explosion.

Pretty sure 98% of Iraq's populace felt it was pretty safe to let their kids go play in the streets under Saddam. Now whole familes die because Saddam isn't there to control the ****ing idiots blowing themselves up.

Now, if you notice, I did NOT say it was good in Iraq under Saddam, it was horrible there, absolutely horrible... BUT it didn't get better after the US invasion, for 98% of the people it got much worse.

Are you sure it wasn't just John Goodman that got blown up, and they just thought it was 121 people?
