Because they are a neutral party. I'm sure they wouldn't mind coming in there and delegating things. I just don' think the US is the correct country to do that. Everyone practically hates them in the mideast. Think of it: The country you fought against, that killed your family members is staying in your country and policing it. Wouldn't you be a little ticked off?

He also said that he hates watching the news because they often create a misconception on what's going on over there...because they focus on the bombings and the protest, but they never talk about those who help out the soldiers, come up to them and greet them all the time, tell them thank u etc etc...

Alot of the Iraqi soldiers fighting with us are even turning against us. That is a sign. The U.S = control freaks

Iraq = a political mess where innocent people were killed, innocent women raped and beat, and overall a horrible controlled life before the United States and their allies arrived. That is a fact. Before you put words into Iraqi's mouths why dont you travel back in time and live in Saddam controlled Iraq. Tell me you wouldn't rather live in a free nation than a place where if you dont conform to the government's strict policy you are prosecuted unfairly or just flat out beaten or killed. If you can tell me you would rather live like that then you are one of a kind.
I'm glad you have pride in your country, but I feel sorry for you if you are proud of what the allied forces have done. Yes some good was done, but at what cost? It is still growing. Who would want to live there under now or before. It hasn't changed, although it is definately more unstable now. The world should have continued to pressure the UN to help the Iraqi people unseat Hussain. No country in their right mind would want to have US intervention. You're history shows, its not neccessarily a positive thing!
It's on unstable ground now because the new government hasnt been elected yet like I said earlier. I would much rather live somewhere where I wont be attacked for believing in something different from our leader. How does our history show its not a positive thing? If it weren't for the U.S storming Normandy in WW2 then theres no telling what Hitler would have done. If it weren't for the U.S helping to resolve conflicts, the world would be more of a mess than it is now. This thread is getting way off topic and I will not be viewing or posting in it anymore. R.I.P Pat Tillman
1. Even that war would free Irak.. if im from irak and my parents be killed in that war i would be very angry after USA even if that help my country to be a free nation, and after when im gonna grown i would have anger in me and there would bea thousand of other person like me and we'll create a group like Al'Quaida to fight against the US. So after 15,20 years my group would attack USA because we remembered what they did to our families.. and the war would never stop.... this is why i think this is stupid to resolve problems with violence.. 2. you don't want irak to have Weapons of Mass Destruction and you went attack them.. but the USA have these weapons too.. so what's the problem?? i wouldn't accuse a guy who's smoking weed if im doing it..

A Heroic Life <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">When nobody was around, Arizona State University football star Pat Tillman would climb the 10-story light tower at Sun Devil Stadium, certainly without permission, just to gaze at the buttes, the desert, the glow of Phoenix?and ponder the state of the world. A roughneck with a philosophical bent, Tillman never followed convention. This was a college kid who, as a freshman, defied the advice of coaches to "red-shirt" and delay his football career a year. He told coach Bruce Snyder he'd be gone in four years. "He said, 'I've got other things I'm going to do with my life'."</div> Link
Wow he rode a bike to work and didn't have a cell phone either. That's unheard of with all that money he had. He is very different from any other player from any sport and would never go broke if he was still alive today even with his military pay. Well maybe 2 or 3 other players like him
Tillman was no "hero" in my book. The imperialist aspirations of American foreign policy explains why Tillman got his cap peeled in Afghanistan. The anger many have towards the U.S. stems from the lack of consideration we've given to the dignity of others in our foreign policy. I wouldn't fight for the economic and political interests of power hungry western politicians and corporations, and would commend the intelligence of anyone who chose not to do the same.
