09 Apr 07 - 05:18 PM (#2020745) Subject: RE: BS: TODAY the Iraqis STOOD UP From: Amos Ya know, it strikes me as a lot more simple, sometimes, than it is being said to be. 1. Massive disarmament of military weapons. 2. Strict constitutional protections against religious discrimination or any use of the government to shield or forward religious agendas. 3. Establishment of an army and a province-by-province police force. 4. Uniform educational opportunities without regard to sect or gender. 5. Establishment of parliamentarian processes they can live with. This is a big task, any one of them is huge, but it is within the power of the Iraqi people, especially if they respond to one charismatic leader who believes they should not kill one another. A |

09 Apr 07 - 10:23 PM (#2021014) Subject: RE: BS: TODAY the Iraqis STOOD UP From: Peace This has to be a tough one for our brothers/sisters/friends in the US. Their government is ineffectual, most Americans are somewhat shamed that they have the leadership they do, and those kids are stuck in Iraq having to take orders from a C-in-C like Bush. Yes, get the kids home. Now would be good. And let Saudi Arabia arm the Sunnis. And Iran the Shi'ites. And Lord knows who the Kurds. In two years, when another Somalia or Rwanda has occurred, maybe then the fu#kin' UN will get OFF its ass and at least help clean up the mess. |

Now Iraqis may have any tattoo they want. The only problem is that many have the dilemma of getting a tatto that says Death to American, or heart that says 'Mom'. They are going with Death to America because you never know when your feelings about Mom would change. |

From all accounts it was a peaceful demonstration with no U.S. military to be found (except overhead in helicopters). Doesn't it strike you as strange that this many Iraqis can gather together peacefully but it costs the U.S. billions of dollars and countless numbers of lives to control Iraq? |
