During the Revolutionary War, the British always whined about how the Americans would hide in forests and stage guerrilla attacks - rather than forming ranks and fighting a pitched engagement like civilized people........
The Americans The Iraqis
Blah Blah rant, etc. (cue 240)
Your 'argument' falls flat on its face like a drunkard immediately here.
The somewhat laughable presumption that the US forces are at war against
the Iraqis highlights either your deep set ignorance of the conflict, or your deliberate attempts to mislead the reader. Possibly both.
The people we are actually at war against are terrorists: people that seek to destroy the lives of (mostly the Iraqis you claim are our enemy) for no reason other than their support of freedom. A mere elementary knowledge of the Iraq conflict is all that is needed to note this.
Iraq has its own democratically appointed government; we are not at war with them - can you not realise this in your Leftist fantasy world?
Iraq has had two national legislative elections since the colation arrived. Allow me to dismiss your argument:
Constitutional ElectionWith a total of some 8.4 million votes cast, a 58 % turnout, the Iraqi Electoral Commission considers the election to have taken place without major disruption. Voter turnout ranged from 89 % in the Kurdish region of Dahuk to two percent in the Sunni region of Anbar.According to what you have said, we are at war with these 8.4 million people. People so brave and so enthusiastic for democracy, they voted en mass despite the ever present threat of terror attacks. Seems to me like such people are in support of the Bush doctrine, wouldn't you say? Here's some more figures to consider:
General ElectionTurnout for the election was reported to be high, at 70%. The White House was encouraged by the relatively low levels of violence during pollingOh, and just to rub salt into your ideological wounds, I used your little safe haven of Wikipedia as my source. I encourage all do read further into the newly instated, and successful, democratic process in Iraq - a process the Iraqis (Not our enemy) have ratified.
