1. The Shia still think they're going to run things

That's why they've been so patient. We'll have to wait and see how long the patience lasts.

2. I See

But it's ok for a Country to drop 20 tons of bombs on a city because they don't like them fighting back.

So what is the difference between terrorism and what we are doing?

I have no sides in this problem. I just know we went there for illegal reasons and we are there for our own, or Bush cronies, interests.

These People were not blowing up People till we showed up. If they had giant bunker busters I'm sure they'd be using it instead of car bombs. Why don't they just use the WMD's? I'm sure Syria would let a few in.

3. tell me why this isn't good.

i agree with their sentiments 100%. baathist terror & wahhabist terror are bad bad bad.

and so is israeli & american state terror.

4. For the same reason getting Syria out of Lebanon is bad.

Because short sighted, self involved people are willing to see all progress stopped as long as Bush is in office. Don't believe me? See the very first post in the thread about the Lebanese government stepping down.
