Thread Name: Election in Iraq
Subject: RE: Election in Iraq
You know what this is? It's grand hubris. It's as if we were a small power here in North America, a minor country with a 3rd rate military, and the Muslim World was a superpower...think about it for a minute...and they came here in overwhelming force with thousands of soldiers, tanks, airplanes...smashed everything up, devastated our armed forces, towns, and cities...

And then they occupied the whole country with armed troops. They further proceeded to give us the "gift" of their entire culture, with their viewpoints about freedom, liberty, etc...which meant giving us their version of exactly how to set up and run a good Islamic society.

Would we all be grateful and cooperative for their kindness?

I don't think so!
