Lending a hand to their police force is simply ensuring that society doesn't colapse into complete anarchy.

Thatīs just your opinion. I just happen to have a different one, shared by 20 million or so iraqis. Not that it matters much anyway...
Since you ask, and if you really care about knowing what they feel, check the links thread, where i posted a link to Iraqi blogs. Their opinions are more than clear there. Add that to the media coverage and the latest events, and you should get a clear picture.

If you're not going to take the time to fully explain yourself, why should I take the time to ask what you meant? Try putting a bit more thought into your original posts. Explain yourself rather than throw out a one liner comment that does nothing but spark a controversy. You might find that the thread then takes on a whole different perspective. I'd rather debate you on your thoughts, rather than question your entire theory because you've presented absolutely nothing to define it. Think about that. :indeed:

Ahh, so you admit there wasnīt enough of a post to comment in the first place. You just decided on yourself to "fill in the blanks" so to speak, on your own.
The thread was not intended as a comment. I posted the link so that others could read it. If i wanted to make a real comment, you should know that iīm a big fan of rather large posts. That small line was just a vent.
However, if you want a comment, all you have to do is read this and the above posts, and connect the dots. And if that ainīt enough, try reading other threads, where i made my opinion more than clear. Itīs not my fault that you happened to have just arrived, or is it? The subject "Liberation" vs "Ocupation" has been debated from here to Mars! And back...
