Quote by: dotcoma I understand that it is a war, and that there will be a backlash/major insecurities while the war is going on. The point is that if we succeed then we will have a stable and secular democratic ally in the middle east (even if it is a pawn). |
The atrocities that we are committing, and those that we condone by Iraqi's that we hire, are building resentments and hatreds that are going to last for many generations. The simplistic belief that the "insurgents" are attacking innocent civilians and police is generally untrue. Those people are being attacked because they are colaborating with and directly supporting the invaders, something that I believe would also happen in this country if we were invaded.
The fact that you see Iraq becoming a "pawn" of the U.S. is certainly not lost on them, and will continue to inspire and motivate them to defend their country.
