		<description>You don&#039;t believe in conspiracy theories, but you do believe that USA went to Iraq to help Iraqi people! How thoughtful, how kind of you to spend your resources for the well-being of people thousands of kilometres away from you. Do you really believe the US army went there to help people and to bring them democracy? You idiots, don&#039;t you remember that the first &#039;reason&#039; for the war was the claim that Iraq had WMDs? Do you really think a country would invade another for any other reason than its own profits? No other public than than the US public is so eager to buy the official doctrine imposed on them. Maybe it&#039;s because it makes them proud to be powerful and challenge the world. Well then, look closely in the faces of burnt Iraqi babies in agony, and you&#039;ll be even more proud of the irresistable power... of the United States... of America. They are bad, we are good. In God we trust. We are idiots.</description>

		<description>Tanvir:
&lt;i&gt;I don’t see the relevance of picking out other human rights abuses and saying the Americans are not as bad.&lt;/i&gt;
Maybe because no one in the Arab world really gave a shit about the deaths of innocent Iraqis when Saddam was doing the killing? The fact that the Americans may not be as bad suggests some lives have been saved bu getting rid of Saddam. True or not?

&lt;i&gt;Yes other nations were invited to send troops… but they would have served under the present Coalition system (which has flaws in both action and intent) –&lt;/i&gt;
Agree but I think the UN also rejected such a course of action. Though maybe it will change its mind now.

&lt;i&gt;You are either naive or have conceded shared overall ideological interests if you believe or are actually trying to say America are in this war primarily for the interests of the Iraqi people.&lt;/i&gt;
Did you actually read my article or not above?</description>

		<description>The point of human rights abuses was made in contrast to the reasons given by America for staying there, Human rights abuses are human rights abuses, I don’t see the relevance of picking out other human rights abuses and saying the Americans are not as bad. 
 
Yes other nations were invited to send troops... but they would have served under the present Coalition system (which has flaws in both action and intent) – I don’t think any of the nations you mentioned would like to be associated with this American project in Iraq. If you re-read what I said, I suggested a fresh system of security under the UN - doing exactly what the Americans claim (and supports of &#039;keep the troops&#039; like yourself) they are doing...  but without the lies, abuses, economic, political and ideological take-over being perpetrated by the US. You are either naive or have conceded shared overall ideological interests if you believe or are actually trying to say America are in this war primarily for the interests of the Iraqi people.</description>

		<description>To be fair Tanvir....

&lt;i&gt;Add to that the immense human rights abuses, the brainwashed 18 year old soldiers who just want to kill Iraqis because they think all Iraqis believe in al-quaida as their religion and had something to do with 9-11&lt;/i&gt;

The human rights abuses (which I have pointed out) are still much smaller than the abuses of many alternatives (incl. Saddam Hussain, the Taliban, a Saudi style dictatorship).


&lt;i&gt;oh and lets not forget the permanent establishment of the USA in Iraq for decades to come, with military bases, and the biggest US embassy deploying CIA agents in every sector of the nation to take and hold full control…&lt;/i&gt;
Some presence maybe, but I doubt they&#039;ll have a huge presence for much longer, the losses and the money it costs is too much. America can&#039;t afford that economic deficit forever.


&lt;i&gt;The Iraqi government should request troops via the UN, from ‘friendly’ countries that the Iraqi population won’t have a problem with, Bangladeshi troops have done a good job in Sierra-Leone&lt;/i&gt;

Unfortunately thy tried that already, remember? Most Arab govts largely said no, even India said no. How many Pak troops are there in Iraq out of interest?</description>

		<description>ok ok enough digressing....

So we have those who still believe The Coalition invaded Iraq to help Iraq...despite lying initially.

So are the troops sitting there to help Iraq? Surely those watering at the mouth for power in Iraq need the help of the Americans..so they are not going be to calling for their exit.

Is the Coalition in Iraq solely to bring law and order and bring a fair and just rule?  Or is it there to make money, and sew the seeds that will bring to their control the economy of a nation that has the potential to be a massive economic machine?

I think if even the most anti-war people ( myself included) could be convinced, that the coalition was there purely for law and order, establishment of infrastructure and a just government, Coalition presence in Iraq would not be so strongly disliked. Even if they were making a few lil moves and favoring their own in terms of rebuilding contracts….but PRIMARILY there for the good reasons people claim they should stay there and stick it out for.

The truth of the situation is, the coalition have from the beginning shown more interest in making money, taking over state assets, giving away contracts to powerful people and their friends, installing their preferred allied in power, installing their &#039;democratic&#039; ideology [democracy as we are led to believe is meant to be a fair and representative just system of law, but in reality means pure submission to the principles of capitalism, pro-Americanism], making &#039;peace&#039; with Israel [with which there is nothing wrong - as long as Israel delivers justice to the Palestinians...but this little detail is what they want to bypass ... remember the Iraqi interim gov&#039;t rep and Israel diplomat meeting.... and lets not forget the pseudo-israeli new Iraqi flag].... the Coalition have shown more dedication to their own interests which are against Iraqi interests from day one! Further to that you have the neo-con conservative / right wing evangelicalism Christian ideology making its moves... so you have some right-wing religious ideology forwarding its plans.... ALL of which are coming before the reason they are giving for staying there...that is to bring stability and peace to the country.

Add to that the immense human rights abuses, the brainwashed 18 year old soldiers who just want to kill Iraqis because they think all Iraqis believe in al-quaida as their religion and had something to do with 9-11... oh and lets not forget the permanent establishment of the USA in Iraq for decades to come, with military bases, and the biggest US embassy deploying CIA agents in every sector of the nation to take and hold full control...

I say the troops should leave, now. The Iraqi government should request troops via the UN, from &#039;friendly&#039; countries that the Iraqi population won’t have a problem with, Bangladeshi troops have done a good job in Sierra-Leone...  perhaps they could work along side Pakistani troops with whom they already do military exercises and will probably work very well together.</description>

		<description>sonia, there are sevral other equally relevant [at least to the people involved] events unfolding all over the globe.......yet, i never see those being discussed on this or any other similar blog.
e.g, burma or myanmar is ruled by a military junta, which is supported by india and china......america incidentally is not on talking terms. and this is despite evidence of huge gas reserves in burma..the burmese generals lord over nearly 50 million people and summary execution of the citizenry are commonplace.

sudan: thousands of christians and animists sudanese are being killed the arab [mulsim] sudan....etc, etc.....</description>

		<description>Was it actually the Teletubbies?
The last lot of teletubbies were sacked due to them getting too high on set.
Their voices were becoming funnier and sillier, and also they kept on doing stupid things so the producers warned em not too.
But all that fame had got to the teletubbies heads and they told the producers to go and fuck themselves.

The producers then went and spent another billion on trying to get a different bunch of teletubbies from the thier planet.
Which happens to be called noooooiiii.

While this was happening we saw some drastic changes to the show Teletubbies, with these now fame hungry, drug snorting, cigarette smoking, vodka jelly eating motherfuckers running around on thier own show and pretty much shagging each other at every chance they got.
To the children watching they couldn&#039;t tell what was going on as the process of mating within teletubbies looks like they just rubbing each other.

None the less once the new tele tubbies had arrived on earth the old ones were physically chucked out  of the studio.
They then got a reality check, the biggest reality of thier time on earth.
It became evident that they couldn&#039;t fend for themselves and they needed food and shelter.
So they walked around the streets of somewhere for a while and came across an HMV.
Luckily they got a job there, to just stand around and dance.
They felt happy again and understood that humans still thought they were the original teletubbies.

Time however passed as they kept on doing gigs all over the uk, dancing from here to there and paying off thier drug and drink habits as well as the rock candy which they love for both consumption and sexual purposes.

But at one of the gigs the real tele tubbies showed up, surrounded by paparazzi  climbing out of thier limos.
At that moment people realised who the fakes were, and they were stoned to death.
But having such great armour the teletubbies just faked thier deaths instead.
The stones didn&#039;t even hurt them physically but emotionally left them scarred.

The story from there on is that some renegade young man from the highlands aptly named Highlander took them on to be his students.
They were taught to blend in with society and learn how to harm other humans.

So its a strong possibility that infact the london bombers were linked or infact the teletubbies.</description>

		<description>hey blue mountain, you want to check this, the actual movements of the alleged London bombers was physically impossible.

http://iraqwar.mirror-world.ru/article/61251

Some good research here too - www.nineeleven.co.uk

Why not challenge the evidence instead of acting like a child?</description>
