IRAQ will not see peace until the last occupying soldier is out of its soil. You call them insurgents or anything else they will never accept occupations. Palestinians have not and that has been over 60 years of occupation. Any so called Iraqi government associated with the occupiers is also doomed before even making its first press conference.

Illegal - immoral - unnecessary invasion and occupation of IRAQ has done the following:

- US will not be believed for many years to come

- Reinforced the utility of lethal force in world conflicts

- Clearly shows US and West's double standards in relation to regional conflicts

- Proves that US is very susceptible to confrontation

- Superpowers are all about their own survival

This is what you get when 5% of world population uses 23% of its resources.

Here we are years after invading a county and occupying it and it seems so been there done that. We are going about our lives untouched or unashamed or uncaring so long as our needs are met and god forbid we don't get to watch our favorite show "desperate housewives".

We will go on of course until the next attack or crisis involving people that hate us. So the cycle will continue. The daily killings of few Americans and several Iraqis (who cares about then camel doers)are normal stuff, or price of freedom!!!!! After all we are fighting terrorism and thats the way it goes these days.

Meanwhile our great leaders have convinced us that everything is under control with no real comprehensive unflag waiving evaluation of how we got here. The few lefties touch on some but nothing for mass consumption. As Abe Lincoln said it during the civil war people don't have to know everything.
