Sadly, Noone has Bothered to bash the welsh or Newfies, so it only recivces a 4 star rating
It was at this point that the thread started to go downhill. I was posting with my other main earlier, didn't notice sorry (Arianhod). Of course we are arrogant, we live in countries we love regardless of their current state of affairs, we all noticed. I was saying how Europes done things and adapted and a few Americans have said America has a great history, why criticise whats in the open?
Back on topic, would it be an option to partition Iraq into Kurdish and Sunni states and try and make it work as a federation from there? As the US government has been very hypocrytical to the Arabs, don't be surprised that when they do democraticly elect people that hate the west for all they are worth - it's natural reaction. Democracy is a very western value, it came slowly to most countries and evolved from their taking their ideals and ammalgamating them into it. Look at Britian, we have the Wesminster system that is used in Canada aswell as Britian because of the way society evolved from a Totilitarian Monarchy to a Constitutional Monarchy. In Iraq culture has only ever know the way of an Empire in one form or another for generations - Democracy dosen't work in every nation though.

Come on - the EU system works in the EU because thats what the people want to and are willing to work for. Two sides to the coin every time.

Our system worked well once, when the politicians weren't corrupt. We can be that way again. We don't want your system, nor do we need it...
Even if we could just get an independent party off the ground, you would see a major improvement...
We don't need a wholesale change to a system of taxation Americans fundamentally disagree with. No way.

Sunni and Kurdish? I doubt it. Turkey wont stand for a Kurdish state next to theirs, and they are already actively making sorties into northern Iraq territory to fight the Kurds there. Also, you forget the fact that Iraq has a Large Shi'ite community as well: all the holy places of the sunni and shi'ite peoples are mixed between eachother in iraq, its not like you can draw a line.... ----------------------------------------------- "post with your main. delete your alt, you sad little exploiting metagamer."

My apoligies,I forgot about Shi'ite prescense  Well it would be like Partisioning Palestine, except maybe they could do it right this time. Have Shi'ite, Kurdish and Sunni states with neutral states run by a federal govenment in cooperation with the UN perhaps? Neutral states being those with high religious importance, Falluja I think would be one for instance. About a Kurdish state, I don't know what Turkeys problem is but certainly it would be used as a reason to bar Turkeys bid for EU ascension (though tbh I don't think they will ever get in anyway) or perhaps have sanctions placed on it should it continue after a federal Iraq is made? I'm told that part of the Islamic culture is the idea of a single Islamic nation, as these are all different sects of Islam perhaps it would be a foundation to spread as a union of the other Islamic countries? Ultimatlt the differnt sects should eb able to get past it (Catholics and Protestants got past it, India has done it reasonably well with Sikism (sp?) Buddism and Hinduism working as a nation, so just give it time....

True - I would have thought that as the most powerful Nations on Earth we would at least have learnt Patience and Charity..... Owell.... Thats what some policies should be about, patience and teaching the man to fish.... And letting him keep that fish for whatever he wants to do with it, his life not ours.

Guess what, no one cares about what you think either! It's wonderful! Oh, and I was just noting the fact that your stupid rambling about US politicians being corrupted is flawed. The USA (every democracy to be honest) have a long history of corrupted/dishonest politicians. Contra-Iran? Cia fundings with *******?
Get a grip on reality. The last years of US administration will be hard to cure: a massive debt, crude international relations, a HIGHER terrorist threat (yes; you aren't winning the so-called war on terror), and the US army bogged down in not one but TWO Vietnam 2.0, with the consequent flux of coffins from there.

I agree with the keyboard bashing - but at least the EU has competent people running the econemy on a way that seems to work quite well and plenty of national level developments. EU commissions corporations to do the work - the US is commissioned by the corporations (lobbyists) it seems....

Hindusim has been a melting pot of a thousand different religions since its inception, so integrating buddhism wasnt that hard (in comparison) Historically Catholix and Protestants have stopped fighting for, what, 20 years? N. Ireland? So that took 500 years.
The violence between sunni and shi'ite hasnt even BEGUN imho. There have been some very nasty wars, but I think more will be in effect soon enough. Creating a few different states and then fedrating them is a contradictio in terminis because the two want nothing to do with eachother in the first place.

To be frank then - should we just pull out and leave them to it then as we do with most places without oil? Yea maybe Catholic and Protestant wasn't the best example, but the fact that after the wars and violence that it can end is something. What my friends find funny is that only when Muslims are no longer in their homeland can they appreciate the peace of coexistence within Britian (a Shi'a from Iraq and a Sunni from Pakistan).

Surely that's on a par with describing {well known WWII german guy that the filter doesn't like} as a wishy-washy liberal.

It's most likely whoever is the nest president, will widely swing the pendulum the other way as far as spending. Whether Democrat or Republican. So it's a given this trend will not continue at it's current rate.
I of course am hoping for a fiscally conservative Republican to win the election... But unfortunately it will be Hillary...

Saudi Arabia is an exporter of wahabiism, yet your so called war presidents holds hand with those ****s when they visit the US.
Think about that for a minute.
They don't own a "LOT" of our country...
They bought off debt. And what are they going to do, come and collect it from us some day in terms of land or properties here in the US? Sure, ok... Try it...
Don't worry, Hillary will tax the crap out of us to decrease the deficit...
Um? Historically, it's Republican presidents who run up the deficit. That's a simple matter of fact. In fact almost 80% of your national debt was created by just the 3 most recent republican administrations. BTW, Bush II has increased Federal spending by 60%. Jeez, how "liberal" (with your money) do you want it?

Yes, that is the pattern. Republicans run up the deficit, Democrats tax us more to pay it off...

Just remember that Britian remembers when the US bailed us and most of Europe out after the second world war. If we bailed your economy out, US would be in debt to Brussles - we paid back our loan in 2002 due to massive interest, the same would happen to the USA (ie more taxes to the lenders). I leave it to you to decide what the correct course of action would be.
