  • Wow, the historical damage in Iraq is catastrophic, the ghetto Shi-ites destroyed most of the remenents of over 7,000 years of Mesopotamian history

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Not to mention that absolutely no weapons of mass destruction, no chemicle, no biological weapons have been found. In fact it's been said that the only way Iraq's alleged "Weapons of Mass Destruction" could only kill you is if the bomb landed right on your head. Also, another claim that Bush had was that Iraq was restarting a nuclear program, all that evidence has now been proven just a fabrication as there is absolutely no sign at all of Nuclear weapons.

What's going on in Iraq right now? Tens of thousands of Iraqis are marching through the streets telling the US military to get lost. The situation in Iraq is a lot worse than it was before, crime is at record high's, and everyone now carries a gun; Gangs of lower classed Shi-ites are on the rampage, murdering, raping, vandalizing, and destroying what is left of the oldest known civilization.

Yesterday tens of thousands of Shi-ites marched through Bagdahd demanding western forces to remove themselves, they are demanding that they be allowed to maintain a theocratic Islamic State.

So what's going to happen? Obviously the US military isn't doing anything to restore Iraq to its pre-war state, and things have heavily degraded into a hellish state. There is no democracy, there is no electricity, there is no water, there is no stability, there are no medical supplies, there's starvation, there is violent anarchy, there are millions of people who don't want the western forces in Iraq, and those same millions don't want democracy but a Theocracy, there is rape, there is destruction, there is death.</div>
