The war would happen some time in the future anyways with less preparation? That, kind sir, is bullcrap. Iraq has had nothing to do with Al-Qaeda and terrorism (at least the kind aimed against the US), and there are NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. The Iraqis once again proved they were no match militarily for the US, and they weren't even threatening anyone this time. And who, pray tell, would they have launched a war against? And the UN does want to get involved, too bad the US hasn't let them in on the process. The best the US can do for now is try to restore basic services, provide aid to all those put out of work by the dissolution of the Iraqi government (a disgruntled soldier is a dangerous thing), and try to build up their economy, but not by raping the land of its natural resources. That still will probably make them great friends of the US, but it might stop the potshots. -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

I found it somewhat telling that as soon as the news of Uday's and Qusay's death broke, the price of oil dropped. Also, some pundits here have expressed that they're glad they didn't get captured alive, as that would have made the US get together a war crimes tribunal and actually have to present a case against them. Justice American style is much easier. -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

Since no avatars have been posted for a while, i'm taking the liberty of being the pedantic butt-in: Nye is Nicaragua,  whose government was overthrown in 1856 by American mercenary William Walker. Walker has a short-lived reign as Nicaraguan dictator and is later executed. Starting in 1979, Marxist Sandinista rebels take control of the country and provide aid to leftist rebels in El Salvador. The US promptly sponsor the Contras, a rival rebel group, causing a long-lasting and devastating civil war from which the country has still not recovered, as well as resulting in the famed Iran-Contra hearings. -------------------- ...

Time for another pointless political topic: The aftermath of the Iraqi war is more interesting to me than the war itself. Those ungrateful Iraqis refuse to stop taking potshots at US soldiers; no WMD have been found (big shocker there); turkish commandos are flitting around in the Kurdish territory, desperately trying to stop a Kurdish state from being declared; the Shiites are agitating for a theocracy; and it took 200 U.S. soldiers four hours to kill (no tear gas?) four people in a house, two of which were Saddams sons. Also, I've heard some speculation that british weapons inspector David Kelly's suicide may not entirely have been self-inflicted. I'd just like to see what people think should be done, has been done right or wrong, etc. -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

Look, everything in modern-day Africa was imposed from the top down by the colonial powers. The government structure, the borders, the military, the weapons, all imports. The Europeans put a structure in place in which very few could exploit very many, relatively safely and successfully. Traditional African ways of government were completely ignored (there may be exceptions that I'm not aware of). So, yes, it was the European's fault for having a military dictator in Uganda since they created the military, the government structure, the weapons, and probably the uniform on his back. -------------------- ...

Well, there is an old story of a Persian king that asked his viziers to come up with a sentence that would always be true. After some deliberation, they came up with: "This, too, shall come to pass." -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

I beg to differ. The Soviet Union first proposed reunification in 1952, but it was rejected because they wanted a neutral Germany, and Adenauer was more interested in joining Western Europe. The 1989 reunification was mostly set off by the removal of a Hungarian travel ban, which allowed over 13,000 East Germans to escape to West Germany. Honecker resigned after massive protest, and the doors were open. The US had a large part in splitting Germany up in the first place, though. Grand idea, that. -------------------- ...
