> Iraqis deserve their own elected government.
yeah agree verne.. and need to decide their own candidates too..
Your idea did occur to a lot of people I suspect, but it'll never occur I guess, so it's not worth voicing those thoughts, besides not being politically correct.
Ya know, I would suspect he'd get in too.. , and his supporters maybe maybewould regard him as a bit of a martyr, but the country would still be divided with Kurds and other groups not entirely pleased I'd suspect.
I have not been following all the divisions within the Middle east enough to really comprehend.. there seems to be this continual conflict.
Do ya know back in WW1 times the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) was involved in the genocide of the Armenians (Christians near Euphrates and Black Sea) by the Turks and Kurds? I know a long time ago..
I just hope that one day the Iraq people can choose their own candidates and elect one that is strong enough to unify all the various groups and make them all happy with their choice in his/her justness,and wisdom and strength.
To be able to both stand up to outsiders where the freedom of their own country is at stake and look after their land and people sustainably and wisely, ensuring everyone has enough to live comfortably now and in the future.The problem seems to be finding this person
..and no country can stand up to the US? .. the balance of power is too uneven maybe?
Which country owns most weapons of mass destruction of all kinds and has a history of using them .. more than once ?Hey but that'll change one day and not that far away.. I'm not sure if it'll be for the better though, just different.
