Gunpoint Democracy in Iraq

Forced To Beg, Buy Or Borrow
Osama, Saddam, Wars, Terrorism, and the US
Who Outwitted Whom?
Time has moved on since 9-11, two years approximately now, and yet in looking back at all that has happened one cannot wonder just who seems to have come out on top in all of this amongst all the sides involved whether it be inadvertently or otherwise
Boutros Ghali lambasts pliant UN
The UN is in crisis because it is seen as little more than an American appendage, two of the organisation's most senior former leaders have warned.
Flashback Unprovoked Attack on the UN in Iraq?
Ask the Iraqis!
That the UN should be targeted might come as a bit of surprise, but the reality is that for most Iraqis the UN is not entirely the just and well-meaning world organization it might be for most westerners (except those Americans, of course, who either hate it, laugh at it or dismiss it). There is a cruel logic -- Iraqis may say justice -- behind the attack on the UN headquarters in Baghdad. The UN was just never there for them!
The Real Winners
War Isn't Hell.

A Weapons Cache We'll Never See
Some 1,500 American investigators are scouring the Iraqi countryside for evidence of weapons of mass destruction that has so far eluded them.

The US left picking up the pieces
I Fear Things are Going Badly
I have to admit that I was wrong. The invasion of Iraq by the United States is not as bad an idea as I thought it was. It's worse.
Gunpoint Democracy in Iraq
The United States is now a formal colonial power in Iraq, and the combination of the Administration's deceptions and the mounting American casualties has dimmed the shine on the colonialists' boots. In March and April, public support for the war was in the neighborhood of 75 percent; by the end of July, it had fallen below 60 percent.
Saving Face, Losing a War
Bring 'em on," the man said. He is not a brave man, but he plays one on television. When it came his turn to fight in a war, he hid behind Daddy. Then he had another drink and hid from the National Guard. Then he had another drink.
