I mean , if they are going to strip wires for the copper in them, break the water system just as soon as we fix it , and break a previosly undamaged pipeline we should just leave them to it. When they have to find the people and the money to fix all of this stuff themselves then maybe they will cut out the monkey busniess.

1. People are stripping wire for the copper in them because they have no other way of getting food and currency. There's a new kid in town - and he insisted on making 1.5 million unemployed - and won't paid them social security nor do anything towards creating work for them. Thus theft is their only means of support.
2. People are damaging the oil pipelines to prevent 'someone' looting their country's oil - that's rather understandable. [/QUOTE]And the blowing up of the only waterline into Baghdad was what? To prevent someone from looting their water? NO! It was to make the people mad at the Americans. All they want to do is destablize Iraq for the own ends. Saddom and his cronnies don't care about making life better for their people, they just want their power back so they can go back to raping, killing and being rich again.
