Chaos and looting... come on! what did people expect. These people have been repressed for decades! I expect some bloodshed frankly. I would be looking to put the hurt on someone.
That is not the real question though. The place is not even cleared out yet. Massive aid and the begining of a new foundation have not even started. A pre-term government has not even begun nor a election down the road. Jesus people! The future is a heck of a lot brighter and there is NO body who can honestly argue otherwise. Anybody who does is seriously not giving honest weight to the horror and brutality that NO person should live under.
As for this notion we should free everyone. Why? we would just be harrased by France and others along the way. Why should we die more blood so other countries who stabbed us in the back try to run in with smiles and greedy hands. I don't think we will attack Syria. Sadam was a big removal in MANY ways. Everyone is glad his people now have a real shot at changing their destiny. I also was listening to a former Iraqi last night. He said unlike some middle east countries Iraq has a real shot at democracy. He pointed to the Kurdish who carved out their own semi government. I wish them the best.
Praise America? Unless you are Iraqi I would gamble most could care a less. I mean honestly... who the heck want's praise. How about a little "Sadam needed to removed and no one else was sure as heck going to do it". That would be enough.

Yes, chants of "Go Bush." Either your with the US or against it. Bush made that VERY clear from day one. What choice do these people have. Like you say, WE do not live there. IF they don't support the the coalition, they are labeled an enemy. It's a no win situation for Iraq. Pick the lesser of two evils, if you will.
A pre term govenment. Yes a great idea, but will it be headed by an indepedent Iraqi citizen? The US has already planned the pre term Iraqi government for them. You have your freedom but... only to a certain point.
Perhaps you shouldn't free everyone. Okay, you shouldn't free everyone. So why Iraq? Why of all the countries that suffer the same attrocities, did the coalition CHOOSE Iraq?
I'm not against the removal of Saddam. I want to know the REAL reasons for it, not the "official" reasons for it. Whether you are pro-war or anti-war the one thing we all have in common: The war isn't what it was originaly claimed to be.
