    It was inevitable. Sunnis hate Shias. Shias hate Sunnnis. No more GI referees sending them to neutral corners. Say what you want about Saddam and his brutal tactics, but he put a lid on the Shias.

    The worst thing we can do is send troops back in. Obama was right on this one. No troops. It's time Iraq decided for itself how badly it wants democracy...a rite of passage America had to go through as well.

    Actually, no more Saddam, keeping a lid on these people.

    This was all predicted before the US invasion, the inevitable was inevitable.

    You're right. And it was the US's responsibility to go over there and give them the freedom to allow forign AQ fighters into their country, destroy all infrastructure and fook off when the going became too expensive.

    You guys deserve praise not condemnation!!

    Freedom to have civilians killed! It's the American way!

    Well, they did figure out that the US won't be getting their oil. Which wasn't particularly hard to figure out, since the first destination for invading US troops was the Iraqi oil ministry.

    Actually, I'm undecided on the issue. The people were certainly proud to vote, even dodging bullets and proudly displaying their fingers dipped in ink in spite of the threats. We'll soon find out if this is a passing sentiment or if they're really willing to fight to defend a new way.
