CHIMO
All this is not new, at least not for everyone with half a brain, and some knowlegde about the part of the world we are now talking about. From the get go, when US was starting the marsh to war, it was warned, again and again, and again about the venture, and it was even sugested that if US was to go to war, it could end up in a regime far less friendly to US interest in the region, and far more friendly to say, country like Iran, who is the "home" of most Shia muslims in the world today (irony of all irony, Iran started out as a Sunni dominated country in ca 600AD) And it was warned many times that Iran would not be sitting silent when US was playing out their little "game" in Iraq either.. After all US had no clue what they was doing in Iraq, and many muslim country's, like Tyrkey, Saudi-Arabia, Syria and Iran was all playing "their game" in Iraq when US with a smart move, destroyed all chance of working togheter with the different groups in Iraq. And maybe do as they did in Germany after world war two. Keep the public servants, but de-nazify them, so it would not start all over again when Germany was rebuild from scratch.. Germany was/is a sucesshistory becouse of it. And becouse germans learned that war was not worth it..
In Iraq, they could, and should have been doing the same way, keept the sivil servants, but also de-bathfiszhed the country, city by city, county by county to the worst of the worst was arrested, and given a FAIR TRIAL by a court. Not that cangooro cort who was set up, and who hang a few of them, but where thousands of butchers and others was given a free pas... Mostly becouse US neeeded them to do the same job, as they had been doing under Saddam Hussain, but now for the US.
And now, Iran and Iraq is soooooo friendly with eatch other, that Iran in fact can influence who the next government are in Iraq.. And posible also deside what wil happend to Iraq in the future, that be an independed state, or in a form of union with Iran. Specailly in the south of the country, who largerly are shia muslims, and where friendship, and kindship is close on both side of the border..
The only thing that is keeping Iraq togheter as a nation for the moment - is the pressence of 50.000+ US soldiers in the country. And some big bases and the most expensive Ambassady building anywhere in the world. The biggest Ambassady in the world - after what was the biggest ambassdy in South Vietham until 1975 (anyone rembember what happend then?) It is a HUGE komplex, who are more or less self sufident from the rest of the world. Build like a fortress.. But I doubt it wil survive if iraqis, are irritate enough, and wanted both the 50.000 soldiers out, and the ambassady closed off, and the americans trown out of the country... The only thing that is keeping US in Iraq today, is the old proverb divide et impera where US is splitting, and therefore can rule Iraq as they see fith.. When the subjects is tired about been ruled by an ilegetim foreigh nation, like US, then they wil band togheter, to fight a common enemy.. And then US would be trown out of Iraq, regardness of the military superiour forces of US. If most of Iraq is on faire, it do not matter that US have the biggest weapons - and most of the tecnial advances.. I hope it wil not be that, but the history is showing, again, and a gain and again, to our own days, that been an occpying power are never a easy task. Not when the public do not want you there
And Iraqis is tired about having 50.000+ americans in their own country... Really tired.. And now Iran can even influence who is ruling in Iraq or not... Not what mr Bush and Co was telling us when they was plotting and playing cards for geting them a little war
