The political problems in Iraq are what CAUSE the disorder. There is no real, respected centralized state, it's just a facade being held together by the American military. The political nature of Iraq is tribal, ethnic, religious and heavily localized. The centralized government is also viewed as taking orders from America. Without solving both of these issues, no amount of troops or security will do anything

You raise a good point...and, perhaps in the end religious and tribal sectarianism will triumph. But we don't know for certain at this point. A good number of Iraqi's participated in the elections and a military response is the only practical option to counter the lawlessness that no prevails.

@chrispollock Thats the first unbiased comment i have ever seen on youtube. usually its a bunch of republican or democratic chanter trying to bash the other side...Very nice..and i agree with you.

my comment was intended to be sarcastic i don't actually believe that. However, I do believe that there is no political solution for the war in Iraq

have u been in iraq before? if not, then were not fighting for a "piece of shit sandbox," its called unilateralism. were fighting because al queda is primarly operating out of iraq. were fighting for a democracy, which will eventually allow them to have a functioning military and police force, which will help us fight al queda and prevent further terrorists attacks on the us and other western countries

you know ive heard alot of pretty stupid political statements, but this one is probably the worst one ive ever heard. you obviously need a foreign policy lesson and a religious lesson, cause its wrong to thing that every iraqi has had involvement with terrorists groups

[drumerboy1231]

I think we should just bomb the crap out of iraq... there problem solved, and after that maybe we can bomb russia too haha but seriously every single iraqi is involved or has been involved or is going to be involved with terrorist activities. so just put them out of there misery.

our government is the lawlessness they don't even follow the constitution

[jesse2076]

you dont get it do you

[bmetzger1988]

i am in the military and i would die fighting for this country. but we arent fighting for this country, we are fighting for a piece of shit sandbox which most american's will never see. the usa is not the worlds mediators, thats what the UN was designed for. pull out the troops!

[bmetzger1988]

there may not be a political solution in iraq. but we sure as hell know there is no military solution in iraq. The Unites States defeated Nazi Germany in four years. Five years into operation iraqi freedom and what have we accomplished? not much. wtf! we gotta get outta there, its a lost cause, the iraqi people wanna kill each other? let em. but dont approve of us letting our soldiers get caught in the crossfire.

The nightmare will begin when the US leaves. What do you see at the outcome of a withdrawl of American troops?
