hmm, a non troll post ... who are you and what have you done with Paiktis?

Well I for one am not going to hope that the whole place goes up in flames just to have "the US proven wrong".

While I have strong reservations about the US and the West in general genuine motives and hope the place doesn't end up with a new dictator or some 1.00o ultra rich people and visiting westerners enjoying all the lux while the rest of the people live in poverty, I think the fact that there wasn't a resistance in Bagdat (by the people) and that the whole thing ended so quickly, I perceive that as a rare blessing.

Besides miden kako amiges kalou. There is no bad "thing" that is utterly devoid of good.

The good in this situation would be to really help those people get a better life. If there's something to be done about it I hope as many countries who can contribute.

Actually, we can just detain looters and give them the choice of being turned over to locals for a little tribal law, or to the Imami for a little Sharia law.

Yes, i figured as much, but the trick is detaining them. Some may heed to soldiers brandashing M-16s and SAWs, but those that dont will be shot... and that is all that is needed to start it... "THE AMERICANS KILLED MY [Insert relation here]!!! THEY ARE HERE TO KILL US< NOT LIBERATE US!!! KILL THE AMERICANS!!! KILL THEM!!! KILL THEM!!!"... or somethn to that affect. soon we would have civilians throwing rocks at us and poping occaonal shots.. it ould then probably escalate into a full scale infatida or somethn... or at lest this is a fear of mine.

we need to get non lethal weapons in there... like these humvees i was reading about that shoots a ray of microwaves to burn the skin in an intense, but brief second, or those British riot patrol guns that shoot batons, adn other stuff of the like. Good old fassioned riot gear and billy clubs may also be necessary

Hmmm... a few pages back, I was looking forward to closing this thread... But something weird happened...

An actual discussion occured

While I know there are a few post short of 500... Lancer has already started Part II.

I only hope that a "discussion" continues there
