I did answer. My answers were good ones.

"We should let the international community take over for us."

Well this is what we're already talking about

Not really. We're paying lip service to talking about it.

We should join the international criminal court.

By "we" you mean US, well they probably should but I don't get to vote there

That's right, the US.

"We should hand over the job of taking bids and assigning contract jobs to the international community."

This one is interesting, I first heard calls about this within a month of the end of the invasion (don't quibble about it still being an invasion you know what I mean), anyway, there was a great outcry because the contracts were going to US companies, but, and it's a big one, the US Gov barred certain countries, france springs to mind, from contracts that were being paid for by US money, this bit wasn't reported so widely 'cause it doesn't make good press. Now, are you telling me that the US is telling the Iraqis how to spend Iraqui money. If so that would be wrong but you'll have to google up a bit before I accept it.OK?

At the very least, we should have opened the bidding up to companies with close enough ties to Iraq that the money earned from the contracts would have benefited the Iraqis and the Iraqi economy. Regardless of whether or not it was US money. We did not do that.

"We should stop building permanent military bases in Iraq and"

I honestly don't know much about this, tell me more. One thing I will say though, if the Iraqis are asking then to leave next year how permanent is permanent?

Permanent means beyond next year. The bases are being built for long term use. The point is to secure the oil, not protect the Iraqis.


I would enjoy discussing things with you a lot more if you didn't behave like such and asshole and constantly take cheap potshots. That doesn't make you look very intelligent. It just makes you annoying.
