[MoseyWalker]

and that's it, what comes into your mind?

Iraq

1. You're trolling without a point, simply for entertainment purposes.

That's what comes to mind when you say it.

2. Mess_o_potamia

Death
Riverbend (and I hope she's safe)
Shame for my country's leader's asinine actions

5. I'll throw a question out there.

Which Iraqi's do you protect (assuming we are staying in Iraq) or take sides with when they are all Iraqi's who are engaged in there own war a civil war?

[MoseyWalker]

9. Iraqi's

should be able to protect themselves, and deal with, over time, the changes that are inevitable.

That said, what the US has done to precipitate this catastrophe is almost unforgivable.

16. If you were the US military you would switch allegiances about once a week

That is exactly what they are doing.

Support the Sunnis one week, then support the Shiites across the street the next.

Shias and Sunnis lived together for thousands of years. People ignore the fact that Negroponte was sent to Iraq to establish death squads as he did during Iran-Contra. He's a pro at it. Evil neocons can only survive in chaos.

So we have neighbors killing neighbors. It is like Norwegian Americans attacking Italian Americans. If your Irish neighbor down the street attacked you, would you want Iranians to come and straighten it out for you, knowing the Iranians were behind it?

This bloodbath will end when the occupation leaves. Let the Iraqis sort it out.

11. You're obviously thinking about

a rack, not Iraq.

You bad boy

[everythingsxen]

12. When you say Iraq...

the first word that pops into my head is "War".

If this was meant as word association sort of thingy. The mental picture it gives me is essentially all of the footage of the Iraq War, whizzing by in my mind's eye at breakneck speed, slowing down to focus on pictures of our soldiers with limbs blown off and pictures of women and children in similar conditions. Flag draped coffins. All of the horror of war and all that it entails, compressed into a single word "Iraq".

[MoseyWalker]

13. yep

that's what I get too

[Straight Shooter]

14. The first word that comes to my mind is an epithet for bush.

I don't print it, out of a sense of decorum.

Put it this way, though: I cannot disassociate Iraq from bush. :(
