Wow, this administration is either totally insane, or evil beyond even what I thought possible! Is that their goal now? Make Iraq like Israel so the problem never gets solved and the U.S. get to stay there forever?

and the Kurds and Sunnis will be the Palestinians I take it.

He said America would like to see Iraq function as a democracy while dealing with violence - just as Israel does.

"dealing with violence". I think he means "handing out violence".

Wow, Bush needs a huge reality check.

Even by his standards, I was amazed he said this.

You cant really be surprised by anything the Americans ay or do anymore. They are insane. How the hell is Israel a successful model for anything except chaos?

I doubt he's ever been to planet reality.:D

Funny he should say that!

Just as in Iraq, Israel and the US have made sure that no Palestinian strongman arises to replace Yasser Arafat. Just as in Iraq, they are encouraging civil war as an alternative to resistance to occupation, as Palestine's resources -- land, not oil -- are stolen. Just as in Iraq, they are causing a permanent and irreversible partition, in this case between the West Bank and Gaza, to create more easily managed territorial ghettoes. And just as in Iraq, the likely reaction is an even greater extremism from the Palestinians that will undermine their cause in the eyes of
the international community.

There are over 300 million people in the USA. I am friends with a few of them and they are nice people. Ok, they elected a lunatic for president, (well their supreme court did) and an even bigger and more dangerous reprobate for vice president. Let’s just wait it out until 2008 when hopefully they will elect someone who is closer to human as their next president. At the moment the world is just living through a nightmare.
