Would you fight for your homeland?
What would you do if your country was unilaterally attacked because another country thought you had weapons of mass destruction but no proof?
Would you defend George Bush/Jean Cretien/Chirac/Blair/Whoever and your country to the death?
or
Would you lay down your weapons as commanded by the invading forces because they are not out to harm you, just kill your leader and put in a govt with a little more consideration for your attackers?
lets all pretend we are iraqis and are faced with this choice. Also consider, is it excusable to call someone a war criminal because they choose to defend their country from an international invasion?

I think the situation is a bit more complicated than that. I wont lecture you, but if you think the only difference between the government we will install and the government that has power/previously had power is slightly better Iraqi-U.S. relations, you are dead wrong.
or
surrender?
However, if I beleived in my grand ruler in all his greatness and Godliness.....I'd fight fiercely until death...Which I think speaks well for some poor Iraqi brainwashees
Would I fight a force I knew I couldn't defeat? Well it depends on how horrible I thought that force was.
It's an impossible question with too many variables.

did any of u hear that france doesn't want the us/britan to govern Iraq once the war is over. They want the UN to take over but they shouldn't have a say in it because they were against it in the begining.
**** the french at this point (as far as iraq goes) they stepped out when they said they would veto ANYTHING that is proposed in the UN
if they want say too bad...only way they are gonna get say is if they help iraq, and it still wont matter, the US overcomes

That would be an excellent way to get the cooperation machine working over there....although they may want to leave Turkey out of it

I also think france wants in on this for cheaper oil if we will be controling the land.
we dont get the land, we are just changing the regime...we migh get cheaper oil because the iraqi people might like us but we don't get control of the oil
the only thing we will be there doing is making sure their gov gets setup and running properly
u do know we dont get the land too right?
