Iraqis Cast Off Their Dangerous Leftist Government

[Jedi Knight]

Iraqis, liberated by the United States and Britain and other coalition forces, are celebrating in the streets.

No longer under the terror of a leftist regime, the Iraqis have welcomed the heroic capitalists of the United States who saved them as part of the heroic capitalist struggle to liberate the middle east and the world.

Um, they are in downtown Baghdad right now. It's on tv and all.

[crackmonkey]

Yeah, apparently there is still some fierce resistance in other parts of the city. Ironically, most apparently is from foreign Arabs - Hamas and PLO. Line 'em up.

Iraq was very secular under Saddam & I think they already had these things before.

The real test of whether this "war" was a success remains to be seen. The hard part will be to prevent the religious fundamentalistics from grabbing a strongold in the end game.

Nothing like celebrating a liberation by looting your own city, eh JK?
Btw, did anyone here that Syria is now with Iran and North Korea? So who de we "pre-emtpive" attack next? NK? Iran? How about France for a change?

P.S.: Glad these people are now rid of Saddam (at least very soon).

Gee... I've heard of people in democracies doing that after sporting events or infamous trials. I wouldn't read too much into the looting.

[jj]

That's "totalitarian right wing", you mean, Jedi.

Are you the Onion writer, here just to cause problems?

Im sorry, you are wrong. The Baath party is a socialist party.

No, me neither. I have it on authority (George MacDonald Fraser, a former soldier (amongst other things)) that the "psychology of looting is not a subject to be pronounced on by those who have never had the opportunity".

It is funny how lefties like JJ try to pass the failed leftist regime of Iraq onto conservatives, fully knowing Iraq was a leftist socialist state.

So far, the only looting taking place is that of government buildings and ministries. They are also stealing the government cars.

If you lived under the terror of a leftist socialist state like Iraq, when you were freed you would be looting too.

The looting is insignificant. What is significant is the populations of Iraq dealing justice on their leftist oppressors that the media isn't showing. That is the most rewarding part of watching revolutions in progress.

The media isn't showing that the Iraqis doing justice on their oppressors? So why do I hear "The tyrant falls" and other such headlines, and pictures of Iraqis celebrating in the streets.

Yes, leftist media...:rolleyes:

Gem

P.S.: What do you mean by "leftist" media anyway?
Isn't "left" government owned (in terms of regulation)? So does that mean the our government controls our media?

leftist = Marxist = commie

[Gem]

So Fox news is run by undercover (my idea) commies?
Btw, did you know that Communist is not a form of government (but claims to be), but a form of utopia?

I read the communist manifesto, and damn, some good ideas, but impossible assumtions. (like assumtion that human greed can be removed? come on...)

Maybe we'll see the Red Flag on Fox news at the 6 o clock news.
Stay tuned!

Saddam's regime was a socialist one, but more of a national socialist one. Nazi. Right wing.

[Gem]

Both left and right regimes are pretty much the same...
They differ on who controls the ressources and wealth.
In a left one, it's the government (think Cuba, USSR, China, and some others).
In a right one, it's loyalist to the regime (see Nationalist Socialist, and others).
But even then it cut isn't clear, like the Dictator's cousin runs a government agency. (Bush anyone?)

Well, that explains why Jedi loves Saddam so much. How do I know? Well, remember when JK said he liked Geraldo, even though Geraldo is allied with Iraq? Well that means JK is allied with Iraq too. What do you think of your great Saddam now, JK? He's dead along with his conservative buddies.

Sure, Jedi, sure. And the "National Socialists" were leftists, too, right? You sure have a funny definition of leftist. I'm laughing. Ha. Ha. Ha.

I'm a moderate Goldwater conservative, by the way, just try to remember who you're alienating every time you lie about my political affiliation.

When people are lined up against a wall in front of a firing squad, I don't see that it matters to them if the dictator who sent them there is left wing or right wing.

...liberated by the United States and Britain and other coalition forces

I'm glad you agree Jedi that Germany and France are to congratulated for their role in the war.

Hmmm I wonder if JK had the same dismissive attitude towards the LA Riots?

Huh? What role? Is obstructing the liberation of the people of Iraq considered a role?

And just who was freed from what preceding the LA riots? As I recall they were rioting because a court case went against them. I don't know if the looting in Baghdad is because of the liberation or just opportunism, but I still don't think the situations are very similar.

I think you need some "Hooked on Phonics" to get your reading comprehension skills fixed.

I understand you completely and am happy that you support the French and Germans. It's nice to see that you have seen some sense at last.
