1.A corrupt invasion for corrupt reasons administered by corrupt individuals cannot be made pristine with an election.
2.Those who work in the service of an occupying power are collaborators those whofight against an occupying power in the service of their nation are patriots
3.Collaborators are subject to the summary justice of the people and can be tried for War crimes under the Geneva Conventions. See (Vichy France)
4.Quisling governments have no legs they can only stay in power with firepower and oppression and will always fall when the occupying power withdraws.
5.Never in the history of humanity has one nation unilaterally invaded another Sovereign nation for the betterment of the native people.
6.Under international law an occupying power cannot legally change the laws of an occupied land.
7.Democracy cannot be imposed at the point of a gun. To quote Churchill, "Democracy is not a harlot to be bought on the street corner for the price of a tommy gun."
8.Elections do not constitute democracy
9.Indiscriminate killing of civilians is a War Crime under every known convention of mankind, the President has acknowledged thirty thousand cases most estimates put the numbers closer to six hundred thousand but one is too many.
10.It is wrong to say the war in Iraq cannot be won, it is not a war at all it is a subjugation of one people by another.A war is two or more sides with opposing viewpoints fighting to the death over their principals. Subjugation is one power imposing its will over the other by the force of arms.
