Topic: Iraq War
I just heard CNN Commentator, Wolf Blitzer talking to former US Senator Max Cleeland, where Wolf mentioned that if the American Military were to leave Iraq the results would be that a civil war would break out and it would be a virtual Bloodbath in Iraq.
I would like to point out to Mr. Blitzer that is exactly what is happening right now, except if the American Military were to pull out, the various sects of Iraqi’s would still be killing each other as they are doing now, but there would not be 100 or more young Americans dying every month as well.
The Iraqi people had their free elections and have elected their free Democratic Government, and everything should be running smoothly, but it is not.
The United States has a freely elected Democratic Government and there are Christians, Jews, Mormons, Amish, Muslims, Buddhists, and many other religions, and Atheists, who all exist among each other in peace. As all the people of each religion accept the believers of other religions as just that, people who believe in a different religion, but are still members of the same Human Race. The same holds true for Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, Greece, Italy, Russia, and so on. The premise is that in these countries and their governments exist on, is that Humanity comes first, the Government and the support of the people and their needs comes second, and the freedom of Religion is a close third.
The difference is that the people who live in Iraq belong to three different sects of the Muslim Religion. And have been taught from Infancy that their sect of the Religion is the only Religion and any people who do not believe in that particular division of that religion are not worthy of living, and must be killed. And as long as the people who live there hold that belief, no government except one that hold such a threat over the people they are afraid to act on their own, can exist.
A Democracy as we know it cannot exist in Iraq no matter how long we stay, how many young American Military are forced to die, or how much money we waste there. The conditions that exist there will remain until the people who hold those beliefs have died off or are too old to fight any more.
So no matter how many times GW Bush or any other supporters of the war claim we must stay till the job is done, it will never be completed. And no workable Democratic Government will ever exist in any country that is so divided religiously and has such inborn beliefs.
