They're an occupied people, I would expect nothing less, our media outlets would do the same under similar circumstances. Our forces are acting like any oppressing power.

First of all, I think Bremer is a good man with possibly the world's toughest job. Kerry could do worse than keep him on, if Kerry is elected.

This was obviously a very tough call. As long as our boys are there, I think I'll side with Bremer, though I would usually come down hard on censorship. Please don't ask me to give any better justification. I just don't want more of our boys dying for people who don't want us there.

Oh man you are clueless. We conquered them ? I thought we were there to liberate them ? God if someone "conquered/liberated" the US I and many others would be the first to plant bombs all over the place and launch hit and run attacks against a foreign occupying power to get rid of them and their appointed lackeys. I don't blame anyone else for doing the same. Usually those who claim to have your best interest in mind for you without giving you a say in the matter are usually hiding the fact that they want to control you.

We should of never gotten involved in this freaking mess in the first place ! We should of stuck to going after Bin Laden and his gang instead. Nation building is not something we should be in the business of doing. Now that the GOP have set precedence for nation building and being the world cop I have a feeling that liberals will now run with it. Then again Neo-Con's in the GOP are not conservatives IMHO, they are just liberals mugged by reality who have a habit of over-reacting and going to extremes. Conservatives should remember that the mistakes in foreign and domestic policies that this administration has put into place will eventually be used against them in the future. Get ready for a freaking crazy ride folks because Bush and his gang have open the flood gates !

Was referring to Red Dawn...I could certainly imagine anti-occupation Americans lashing out at an occupying force (as we are perceived by some in Iraq.)
