Iraq - Disarm - Show Your Arms - War? - Page 39

Well, everyone expected the US/UK invaders to over-run Iraq. It was just a matter of time. But I think a lot of people are real cheesed off at the fact that looters ran wild and there was totally no law and order once the Saddam regime fell. The invading forces should have been better prepared for the transition from invading to occupying force.

Certain institutions must be protected from hordes of lawless criminals, whether the ones you're 'liberating' or otherwise. And these include the hospitals and the museums too. I felt so angry yet helpless when I watched all the empty exhibition display cases, and the broken pottery that were supposedly as old as 5000 years old. Those are the country's national treasure, and mankind's too. They should not have been allowed to loot and destroy those! >:(

And hospitals were looted of their supplies and equipment. How come the US/UK forces were not able to control that situation? At least Saddam provided law and order and kept those wild fellows under control.

Exactly my thoughts. Its interesting how the US always seems to 'excuse' themselves from certain tasks. Were it the other way around and the people were looting US historic monuments and hospitals there would have been a huge uproar.

Unlike many think some of the POWs were treated well.

From CNN:

> REPORT: ARMY POWS FEARED THEY'D BE KILLED

Seven American POWs rescued by U.S. Marines said they were treated well during
their captivity but were constantly afraid they might be killed, The
Washington Post reported Monday.

So now it's Syria?

From CNN:

> UK CALLS ON SYRIA TO COOPERATE

British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has called on Syria to cooperate over
U.S. allegations it is harboring Iraqi fugitives or developing illegal
chemical weapons.

JB, you should rename this thread to "Iraq now disarmed, America show us the WMD!" Or "Syria - Disarm - Show us Saddam - War?"  ;)

Good one fireduck. I do believe it is time to lock this thread and start a new one since like you said, there is no more question about if there will be war in Iraq.

*THREAD LOCKED*

Continues on... 'Post War Iraq'
