Who's war is the US fighting
Reading about all the casualties in the war, the push towards falluliah, I am now thinking as to whose war is the US fighting. In the sense that its no longer against Saddam, its no longer terrorists, the US is now fighting insurgent from the US occupation of Iraq. These people woudnt have taken up arms, but for the occupation of Iraq by the US. Its as if the US army has created a bunch of so called terrorists to support its existence.
I feel sorry for the people of Iraq, they seemed to be ok taking care of business limping back to normal as Saddam ruled them, and then the US came and all thats left is an shattered coutnry, dead people everywhere, an economic mess and no end to this terrible plague. Dont take me wrong, I dont say they were better off with Saddam, but Iraq was getting back to some semblance of normalcy after Iran - IRaq war, Kuwait conflict etc. Getting back to normal is a slow process, not a hold elections and solve all problems one.
The best thing the Iraqi people can do is something like a non voilent or civil disobedience movement, thus negating the US claims of subvertist activities. They should bide their time, and then resolve their differences by themselves. This war being faught on their land will destroy them, come what may, who ever wins, Iraq would have lost. I know its difficult to swallow pride, but in lieu of the greater good of everybody they should go back to a peaceful existence, like an old indian saying, till the foreigners are driven out we shall place an united front, once they are gone we will fight among ourselves, only people who can harm us will be ourselves, but we will never allow a foreigner split us.
The US has taken on a war without any end in sight, I think its better for them to withdraw too, they did what they said they wanted, cleaned up the bad regime, and started a democratic process, but its beyond their agenda to ensure a country runs according the their mandate. But the reasons they actually went to war in Iraq are different, it wasnt Saddam, it wasnt terrorists so i think they will stay put for a long time to come.
