We kinda had that whole "freedom and democracy" thing going on in our domestic and foreign policy for the last few hundred years or so. You're suggesting that we now follow in the steps of dictators like Hitler and Stalin... are you crazy?
Hitler and Stalin committed crimes against humanity. No where have I advocated such.
All meddling over there is a bad plan! It sucks to be them, but if they haven't figured out over there how to be free in the past couple of thousand of years, then they aren't going to now! I'm concerned about OUR country, its citizens, and that our freedoms and liberties are being further erroded courtsey of BS like the Patriot ACT, under the guise of a "war on terrah!" Oh... and let's not forget the failed "war on drugs" in which our government plays both sides of the coin.
Westerners created the problem with the formation of fake countries and fictitious borders. The least we can do is help and fix that which we created.
Has everything to do with respecting inherent human rights.
Why are you not lobbying for us to return to/plus-up in one of the many countries in Africa, then? There are lots worse human atrocities happening all over that continent than anything going on in the ME.

I am for that as well. Rome wasnt built in a day. ME seems like a more pressing matter imo.
It is time we come to this realization. Iraq in it's present form is incapable of governing and bringing stability to it's country.
The US needs to take over the country and run it for them until they are capable and ready to behave like civil human beings.
We can split the oil profits for bringing some stability to the country.
It would be a win win for both parties.
We haven't received any oil from that cesspool country yet after 12 years there. What makes you think that we'll get any from them in the future with your scheme? Bumbling Bush promised us that the oil would mitigate the costs of conducting the democratization process. It hasn't worked. Iraq is too savage of a country by first world standards. Let em kill themselves.

Do you understand what running / taking over a country means? It is different than removing dictator and setting up local government.
OP look at this country. Yes at one time we could but we are now polar opposites. One group wants big government to take care of them,the other group are tired of being raped by government. Look at how the IRS was used to silence the tea party. This is the stuff of the beginning of a uber powerful elite and a citizenry of poverty at their mercy.
Hey- are you all still upset with Lebron? I can't stand the guy. Go Spurs Go!!!
