    We didn't go there to liberate them. We went there to grab their oil. And I'm sure the millions displaced by the war are very thankful of what went down.
    Then, why are they selling it to others?

    Oh, really? How many had to flee the country when the war started and even at this point in time? You think all those guys are really happy they lost their houses, family, jobs? Do you have ANY idea of what you're talking about?
    That you believe there is only one side to the Iraqi sentiment towards America is more telling of your ignorance. I concede there are Iraqis that feel the way you describe and who have experienced the hardships you talk aboiut but, to completely discount the others is the flaw in your argument.

    Even among those who were refugeed during this conflict there are many who blame the insurgents and foreign terrorists for their plight. Otherwise, you wouldn't have 10's of thousands of Iraqis, risking their lives, lining up to serve in their police forces and military to work side-by-side with American troops in trying to bring stability to the nation. No, they'd be standing on the sidelines or joining oiur enemies.

    They? We are selling it to the same old Oil cartel. Not to mention Haliburton is making a fortune building the rigs. If you think Iraqis are in control of their Oil at this point, you really need to get informed.

    I believe the vast majority feel the way that journalist described. I don't ignore there might be another point of view. I just believe it's the minority.
    If it would be the majority, the government wouldn't need to live walled off from the rest of the city, and we wouldn't have had to pay off the tribal chiefs in order to get some sort of pseudo peace.

    You're comparing 10's of thousand of Iraqis versus MILLIONS of Iraqis displaced. See where your view is with the minority?

    ElNono, usually I think you make some pretty good posts. However, that results of one man, and the ramling that follows are rediculous examples under the conditions.

    Right now, I cannot think much more of you than a partisan !

    Please, get real.

    I figure, what the . You call me a aprtisan, I'll return the favor. There's always one in the crowd, and you need to see the larger picture.
