we've captured baghdad.
it's done it's all unfinished.
where is saddam? where are his 80+ henchmen?
where are the people that we're supposedly after?
to me, this war is far from done.

not to mention all of the fundamentalist islamic leaders who want us all to die.
not to mention the probing of the media into the possibility that saddam is hiding away in syria...
can you say "next target" 10 times really fast?
so we've fucked afghanistan, we've demolished iraqi cities, and syria is next.
i bet you anything. yayay for middle east colonization.
yay for imperialism at its most atrocious.

one of the statues of saddam centered in baghdad was destroyed and an american flag was placed on top of his head. it's operation "iraqi freedom," but i felt some ironic, morbid pleasure in seeing the symbolic meaning of placing an american flag instead of an iraqi flag on the statue of the 'crushed' leader. does anyone remember that staking a flag was what countries did when they colonized other countries way back when?
nice touch. i like it.
big brother's got you now. right where he wants you. bitches.

15,000 iraqi soldiers and civilians have died (not counting today).
only an approximate 101 american troops have been killed. better than the experts had predicted.
only 101 americans and 15,000 iraqis. good numbers.
however, 175,000 iraqi children are currently suffering from the attacks - wounded children that bleed day and night without any hope of recovery. these children will, almost inevitably, die very soon from their wounds. i guess those won't be counted in the casualty amounts. okay.

and no weapons found!
these weapons of mass destruction that we went in there to find.. NOWHERE TO BE SEEN.
uh oh. american politicians, lie to us?! what?! nooooo, no no. they've got to be somewhere.
*pulls out her magnifying glass and examines iraq*
if we could just... find... saddam... so he could tell us... where... they are...!
god, why is he being so difficult?

no police force. people looting, ravaging what's left of the country. retaliating against a leader that the americans think they've destroyed but haven't even found.
we want to give them democracy:
a country that has lived for centuries under islamic dictatorship.
not to mention the extremely diversified groups of iraqis that are divided between the different sections of the country. they can't even agree with themselves - civil war brews.
and we want to go in there as foreigners and help them out. easy. simple. fast. good.
i'm definitely all for it.

*taps pencil impatiently on desk*
now, what to do with all of this newly freed oil?
x.x.x

[edit] i would just like to say that for the iraqis that are pleased about this, i'm glad that they have found a temporary happiness. i'm glad that they're pillaging the countryside and some of saddam's 49 palaces and freely taking all that they want from their horrible leader. it's good that these people find such faith in a country where half of its own citizens are skeptical about the government's intentions. i only wish (to no avail) that the selfishness that american leaders have possessed will be put aside long enough for them to actually concentrate on the nearly impossible rebuilding and reconstructing of iraq. this entry was by no means an attack on the ecstatic position of the iraqis that support the u.s. actions. it was simply a bunch of bitchy sarcasm because i don't believe that this conflict is anywhere near being completed.
