Well, you must remember that the Iraqis have no love of America. I don't think they'd vote in a pro-American leader just out of the kindness of their hearts. But that's just me.

And why should they? They're not american. Would the US vote in an Iraqi leader to President?

Well despite the ongoing violence, a lot of Iraqis are still glad that we liberated their country from the iron grip of Suddam Hussien. Last I heard they were still finding mass grave sites from Saddam's mass executions. The only people we are fighting now are the Nazish people who served under Saddam that want a return of his reign, and Al-Qaida Iraq, wanting to do as much damage to America as possible.

Now do you know this yourself? Or from the propaganda?

With the numbers of innocent Iraqis getting hurt in this conflict, and their standard of living having gone to shit, they are none too happy. I know I wouldn't. I remember another group of insurgents way back in the day that fought the global power that was repressing them and trying to force imperialist ideals upon them.

Oh yeah, he was named George Washington.

It's all a matter of perspective to who's the 'Evil Terrorist' and who's the 'Glorious Liberator'. I'm sure that they have a whole different perspective on who's the evil one....

My arguements were based on interviews with randomley picked Iraqi citizens out in the streets of Baghdad, and surveys conducted by the Iraqi police force.

Trading one regime for another, never works.

Irtar is right. Were the new British Empire, you know how I know? Our biggest ally in this is England.

Well, they were taxing the shit out of George Washington.

Oh, yeah...

George Washington didn't blow civilians up on purpose.

I think the time has come for Britian to reconquer its unruly colonies, Germany to reannex East Prussia, China to inave Russia, and Taiwan to invade China. The new world order needs to speed its arrival

Well, they were taxing the shit out of George Washington.

And if by that you (mostly) mean enforcing the taxs that were already in place throughout the British Empire and cracking down on smuggling that they had previously turned a blind eye to...
