what most people fail to understand, when America says that an 'american citizent' dies in iraq, hes not just some guy on vacation. The govt independently contracts soldiers through other firms so they can 'break laws' ect with out the govt getting introuble. These civilinians that are dying are actually contracted to fight in iraq through a private company.
Actually soldiers get really mad because these guys get paid 3x the amount then them. They do the same exact things. |

I think nuk3m Is right. The one thing is we cant put all the soldiers who die on/in the news. One thing they have is a weekly or monthly list of soldiers that died. It could List what thier part in the war was or not and family gets to choice if they want them in the list.

In a way you are both right, they are both equally shitty.

Sorry, but anyone who's still defending the President at this point is pretty much clueless. |

Ya it is definitely safe to say that their government was a horrendous failure. It is sad that we don't have the great and revolutionary politicians we had back in the early days of the US and 100 years later Canada.

No-one will ever be able to unite the current generation of Iraqis, all hope lies in their offspring. Furthermore, there needs to be a wholesale liquidaition of religion in that region of the world and that will take many decades. Its like the wars between the Catholics and Protestants, many informal, but very costly in lives. The Spanish Inquisition, the Armenian Christian Holocaust, the Jewish Holocaust, the Kurd gassing in Iraq, the shia purges, the suni purges, the Hindu masacres, and the modern state of terrorism are all decisions based in 'faith' that one side deserved to be destroyed for nothing more than being different, as different is only acceptable to them as anti-them (the whole process is called 'othering'). It could however be argued that many of those eventualy grew into factual conflicts resulting from relentless mutual vengeance in addition to faith. All I can say is that I have hope that eventualy the world will realise that church doesnt mix with anything... not just state. |

It's a silly mistake to represent Bush's presidency as his Global War on Terror, albeit a large portion.
