Well I didn't - I am trying to read up on my lost physics comprehension. <BR/>But what I understood of Iraq so far, is that a "chain reaction" is happening, beyond the control of the Americas or the "leaders" in charge of that country.<BR/>The outcome will be devastating no matter what.<BR/>That's what I blame the Bush administration for, exiting a domino effect of "nuclear proportions".<BR/>So where do we go from here?<BR/>I fucking don't know because the damage has already been done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22346965.post-1164590791077411262006-11-26T19:26:00.000-06:002006-11-26T19:26:00.000-06:00Zee, Mash, that's exactly what I have been thinkin...Zee, Mash, that's exactly what I have been thinking about. Of course as a European, you'd think about that country and the implications of Yugoslavia. Here in the US, the majority of people will never think or know about that and think ahead. Cyberotter, scary, but you might be true. How would we measure that? In terms of numbers? Although the one difference is that in Dafur, it's one 'tribe' killing another. In Iraq, it's as Mash said, person against person reprisals from both sides.<BR/>Vigilante, welcome. I think I've seen you around but probably on someone else's blog.

But it will not happen. The stakes are too high. There is no US Saudi base to speak of anymore. The only place in the Middle East left is Iraq. That was the bet ... and the curse. There is no return now now matter the outcome of recent elections in the US. This turns out to be worse than the nightmare of Vietnam for America.<BR/>It sure is not a pretty sight to watch an empire like the US bleed to death. <BR/><BR/>They (the US) should have never gone after Saddam. Very clever in hindsight for me to say ... but I have to say it again nevertheless (not that I didn't say it before...).<BR/>To simplify it, Iraq resembles Tito's former Yugoslavia. Once the tyrant died hell broke loose and genocide was abound. That was then, now is now.<BR/>Since the toppling of Saddam's statue somewhere in Baghdad more people have died in three years than under Saddams regime during a similar time span.<BR/>And now it gets even worse. Nobody knows what to do anymore while the killings continue between Sunis and Shias rise.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I think the US should leave tomorrow!<BR/>But it will not happen, not even in a year from now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
