AROCES Posted October 21, 2008 #51 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Why, yes, didn't the rest of the world know yet that other nations are only allowed to continue minding their own business as long as the Global Policeman allows them to? That's how it works now, didn't everyone know? (The fact that "those who wants to bring them back to the stone age rules" didn't actually seem to want them to "bring them back to the stone age rules" until the US had invaded is, of course, neither here, nor indeed, is it there.) Fact is when they have a chance to return to the same old ruling that you CLAIM they prefer and we intrerrupted, they hanged the leader of that same old rule you think they treasure.

I don't like explaining word for word. If that was too deep for you to understand then I suggest to not worry about it. One way the are different is that we invaded and are occupying their country. Or doesn't that count? We invaded and got rid of a trouble making Tyrant that the Iraqis are thankful for. While you rather just watch and wait until the brutal sons of Saddam takes over after him.

AzTide Posted October 21, 2008 #68 Share Posted October 21, 2008 7 years of occupation.. Yep, he failed. To respond to this I'll post a small piece to be thought about our military occupying another country... The post-World War II occupation of Germany was a huge and diverse undertaking spanning almost eleven years, conducted in conjunction with three other members of the wartime alliance and involving in various degrees a number of US governmental departments and agencies. The occupation was, moreover, a major event in German history and in the history of the postwar world; and for the Army it was a mission second only in scope and significance to the war itself. http://www.history.army.mil/books/wwii/occ-gy/index.htm At the end of World War II, Japan was occupied by the Allied Powers, led by the United States with contributions also from Australia, British India, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. This foreign presence marked the first time since the unification of Japan that the island nation had been occupied by a foreign power. The San Francisco Peace Treaty, signed on September 8, 1951, marked the end of the Allied occupation, and subsequent to its coming into force on April 28, 1952, Japan was once again an independent state. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_Japan It took 11 years to get Germany going after WW2 were the military wasn't needed. And 8 years for Japan to get settled. If you watch the news even now Iraq is starting to settle down. And everyone would have to admit that the Middle East is a far more volatile environment than Japan and Germany had. Oh and most people have no clue how long the US forces occupied Germany and Japan.

questionmark Posted October 21, 2008 #69 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Oh and most people have no clue how long the US forces occupied Germany and Japan. There was a little difference there... Germany and Japan declared war on the US with backing of most of their population, the US was defending itself from an aggression and had therefore to assure that said would not happen again. Iraq was to to rid a country from a dictator and install a democratic government. That government was installed and that government is asking all foreign troops kindly to p*** off. Either we installed a government and heed its request or we say: shut up, you are occupied. If we do the latter we are responsible for their well being, as we were for Japan and Germany. Got some billions in small change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTide Posted October 21, 2008 #70 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Yeah 5 years of war, you want a dead line or cut off date on wars??? Technically it's not a war it's become a police action. Because Bush declared we won it's over. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
