US, Israel Play Risk - Iraq, Syria... Gee, What's Next?
Posted: Tuesday, October 14, 2003
Dominance and its dilemmas

Just for a moment, let's imagine a hypothetical situation. Say the U.S. was occupying Syria, and needed some help with the occupation--some troops who might help to put the occupied Syrians at ease. Would we invite in neighboring Israeli troops to help us? Unlikely you say? Or let's try Poland. Say we were occupying Poland and wanted some help there. Would we invite German troops in? No way.
The ruins of another US try at democracy: Haiti

I was shocked and angered when I found out how many of the service men hate being in Iraq and want nothing to do with rebuilding and policing the devastated nation.

I was told very few soldiers now believe in staying in Iraq, or want to stay in the country and serve any more days.

The English-language recording, obtained by the American satellite station CNN, showed a pale and tired looking Cheney who promised that future operations will provide the faithful with vast opportunities for war profiteering. "When faced with hard choices, we choose to make war, not peace," Cheney said, chopping the air with his hand for emphasis.
