Suicide bomber kills 41 outside Baghdad university

Man...it's a scary time in Iraq. I hope that some sort of peace can be found in that country. I don't know what it will take. It may mean that the country will have to break into three parts...and if that is what it will take, I hope it happens soon. It's sad to see what is going on there.

Very sad, indeed. Clearly Bush wants to do more of the same in Iran. Appeasement will never work to stop tyrants. But if the international community stands by and does nothing, it has only itself to blame.

Wouldn't it be nice if this just stopped. How the hell can people live like that?

I figured somehow that someone would find a way to mention Bush. Not that I think the guy is all that great but unless this insurgent suicide bomber was an American disguised as a Sunni suicide bomber, the US had nothing to do with it. But, I guess to some people it's the USA's fault anyway. :roll:
On another note, I think they should pack up and move out and let the Sunnis and Shi'ites have at it.

They will never divide their country into three parts, it's only the u.s. who has mentioned that, can
you imagine how the fighting would escalate if "that" plan was put into place, as they would fight
over "who would get what" and "religious mosques" and how much for "each group". There is enough
fighting there now, let alone creating more.

I guess the reason Bush's name is always connected to suicide bombings, is because they wouldn't be
happening if bush hadn't invaded their country to begin with. They only had Sadam to put up with,
not any suicide bombings.

Doubtful. More likely Shi'ites and Sunnis would still be fighting each other even if the US had pulled out after nabbing Hussein.

I think the original army would have formed a military government, much like sadams, and then
a bathist leader would have been appointed, or forced his way in, like sadam did, the people
would never have had the opportunity to get to the state they are in now.

They would have had a new dictator type leader in no time.

but that is what they are used to in the middle east. why does america think the whole world has to have their type of government when the people obviously dont want that type of government?

Well, more than "disagreeing" with the u.s. going into Iraq, I am horrified at the incompetent method
they used to do it.
And, in regard to what kind of government they would have wanted, if you are under the thumb of a
horrible dictator, I'm sure all you really want is "freedom", and wouldn't care who or what kind of
government it is at the time. They didn't have a voice, a choice, or any freedom at all, and also, he
killed thousands of them, but, now, after the fact, the situation doesn't look any better, and, if they
were asked, I wonder how many of them would want to go back to the Sadam days.
I don't agree with what the u.s. is doing, but I don't think they expect the whole world
to want their type of democracy, and I have heard many of them say, just that, in
speeches, they understand that any democracy that succeeds over there will not be
like theirs, or ours.

Doubtful. More likely Shi'ites and Sunnis would still be fighting each other even if the US had pulled out after nabbing Hussein.

There is little history of sectarian violence in Iraq, it never even remotely approached the carnage of Northern Ireland. Sixty-five to seventy per-cent of the Saddams Baath party was Shia the same percentages is common accross the board for all sectors of pre Yankee Iraq. Intermarriage is and was common, the country was a strong secular society, Hussein insisted on it.:wave:

For God's sake L.G., none of this would be happening if the U.S. hadn't invaded Iraq. Why is it that anyone who resists the invasion of their own country is called an Insurgent? Saddam somehow was able to control the three factions in that country but it seems that the U.S. never will. If they leave right now and the civil war continues, it will still be their fault. Who else's could it be?

Hey Les why don't you provide links to this kind of event having taken place prior to the American invasion of Iraq....

Let everyone see how the worlds media machinery was filled with tales'o'terrorism out of Iraq before the Nazi Republican Party of the United States decided war in Iraq would be good for business...that should silence the skeptics....

Okay, I will. Without the invasion of Iraq for no reason this bombing would not have occurred nor would have any of the others as the country was under control and no threat to anyone until Bush changed that.

It is the fault of the USA and their illegal war on a sovereign nation based on nonsense and then the way in which the war was handled after the invasion, they got everything wrong and allowed terror to rule.

NOW NOW Avro

Just consider what MIGHT have happened if Saddam had ACTUALLY HAD those WMDs....

America under the leadership of its Zionist leaders...Pearle Wolfowitz.....under the influence of its war-mongering defense industry...Raytheon....Carlyle Group.....at the behest of its Israeli benefactors....who'd far rather have Americans or Canadians or anyone else die in defense of Israel than actual Israelis or Jews.....

Pefectly obvious that the U.S. acted in its own interests.......to the benefit of the world....

Say...I've got some prime waterfront property in Florida if anyones interested.....

Juan, So you call one Iraqi blowing others up "resisting invasion of their own country"? How do you square that circle?
At any rate, no-one has shown anything to say I was wrong about different religious sects fighting.

Grow up, Juan. So you call one Iraqi blowing others up "resisting invasion of their own country"? How do you square that circle?

I totally agree with you LG...it seems as though Juan has forgotten that Saddam controlled Iraq by nerve gassing the Kurds and mass killing and persecuting Shiites.
