10 Truths about Iraq



1.A corrupt invasion for corrupt reasons administered by corrupt individuals cannot be made pristine with an election.


2.Those who work in the service of an occupying power are collaborators those who fight against an occupying power in service of their nation are patriots.

3.Collaborators are subject to the summary justice of the people and can be tried for War crimes under the Geneva Conventions. See (Vichy France)

4.Quisling governments have no legs they can only stay in power with firepower and oppression and will fall when the occupying power withdraws.

5.Never in the history of humanity has one nation unilaterally invaded another Sovereign nation for the betterment of the native people.

6.Under international law an occupying power cannot legally change the laws of an occupied land.


7.Democracy cannot be imposed at the point of a gun.


8.Elections do not constitute democracy.


9.Indiscriminate killing of civilians is a War Crime under every known convention of mankind, the President has acknowledged thirty thousand cases most estimates put the numbers closer to six hundred thousand but one is too many.

10.It is wrong to say the war in Iraq cannot be won,because it is not a war it is a subjugation of one people by another. A war is two or more sides with opposing viewpoints fighting to the death over their principals. Subjugation is one power imposing its will over the other by the use of force.

2. Yes, very good points. Now one point about the USA -
We are a nation deeply in debt and we do not have the resources to police the rest of the world.

3. Bravo Dave! Speak Truth to Power
I wish that every Congressional rep and Senator would just have these read out loud to them.

Maybe then we'd get some true action out of our very handsomely paid representatives.
