mr bush attack on country on the false pretext. they didnt find any thing wrong, no wmd, no al qaeda connection whatsoever. now saddam is also out from iraq. so what left for the americans ?nothing. forget the westeren style democracy in iraq. it never get rooted because america and iraq are far too different and diverse as far as the culture is concerned...so dont implement democracy with tomhawk cruise missles and b52 ....you will never get successful. the will of resisting occupation is the caliphate system. it is the only solution for islamic world.

Mr. Syed, For once I agree with you, the US should leave Iraq; but not for the same reasons. The US and their Allies had all good intentions when they went into Iraq to take out a ruthless dictator & to rebuild the infrastructure, so that the Iraqis' could democratically elect a government of the people to govern themselves.

Muslims dont understand democracy as we do in the West ; they do not believe in individual rights and have respect for life. Look around the world at any Muslim majority country, its either a Dictatorship, a Military government or a Theocracy. The West needs to leave the Muslims to their own fate & their 7th century belief system, they have too many divisions amongst themselves. Its a waste of our troops trying to 'stay the course' - what course?

Its getting worse by the day. The only muslims who live like human beings are the ones who have escaped to the West; but look what they get up to, they form associations and want to impose their archaic beliefs on the hosts, they demand 'their rights', they do not want to assimilate, they create exclusive living areas (Muslim ghettos ). Look what has happened in the UK, France, Holland, Spain, Denmark, Sweden and so forth. The US should admit that its futile to stay any longer in Iraq, we tried our best. Just leave Iraq and let them have their wish - which is, for the US to GET OUT ..
