The bloody price of occupation
Man,
To doomsday prognosticators, here is some reasoning inside here:

Some samples:
'The whole world knows that Bush and Blair lied to justify the war, but do they know the price being paid on the ground in Iraq? First, the blood price - paid by civilians and others this week as every week. More than 50 people died on Tuesday when a car bomb ripped through Iraqis queuing to join the police force.'
Does THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW THIS????
'What we are witnessing on the streets of Baghdad and Basra is a struggle for power within the Shia community. What should be the character of the new Iraqi state?'
Witnessing?? Sorry, that may be what's happening, but I cannot find it anywhere!!
'Third, and related to this most pressing question of elections, is the price of confusion. An intricate web of pacts and pay-offs is being constructed between the American occupiers and their assorted interest groups, but how long this will last is an open question.'
I know absolutely nothing about this. Anyone???
'Kofi Annan is ready to go into action. The United Nations security council has recognised the puppet government in Iraq. Two weeks ago a gathering in Munich brought France and Germany back on board. The occupation of an Arab country is now backed by most of the northern hemisphere.'
Say what??? Backed ??? As in, 'it's okay'???? Cool, bro, dig ya man???
'The Baath party itself was founded in Basra and its pre-Saddam leadership consisted of many people of Shia origin'
For all you Baath = Atheism, sit back and learn. Baath is political, but with religious roots (as is every other friggin' thing over there, got it??)
I could go on, but I can't so, hasta la bye bye.
