Iraqi and American views on the various problems in Iraq.

Your ignorance is showing. Violence, civil war to be exact, is the womb of democracy. Name me one, just one, country that is a democracy today that did not get said democracy through a bloody violent revolution wherein countryman slayed countryman?

Revolution? For the US to Iraq, it is invasion,not any revolution. Do you think it is revolution? So funny! colonization is also accompanied with bloody violent actions.

Don't forget the point that the most original excuse to invade Iraq is for its virtual VMD. Bush alleged to liberate the Iraq's people. A really joke for the whole world, Has he asked the Iraq's people whether they need his "liberation" in advance? This is just American way, no matter the local people like or not, so long as the US likes to do, all is ok.

Ah, the concept of altrusim, I can understand why you don't understand.

altrusim? In fact, your altrusim is the real EGONISM. Spread things you want,and then think yourselves lofty and saint,only concern your own feeling and disregard other's feeling.

Maybe your original thought is good, but the way you do is bad.

Thank God you were here to straighten us all out... I have wondered for years what true EGONism is. Now the only quest left is to find the EGON.
:stupid:

As for Iraq, it is in the midst of a civil war. Were it being colonised the US and other forces would be not engaged in a small war but in a full scale suppression. We have the might and know how to crush anyone, anywhere, anytime. The fact we don't speaks volumes... but then again, those facts don't fit so nicely into your agenda.

I'm indeed very curious how you classify the current armed struggle in Xinjiang? Civil war? Colonisation? Oppression? Liberation?

Do tell.

The words is the perfect explaination for ARROGANCE. But it doesn't matter, you do what you do, I do what I do.

XinJiang? bulldogg,we both know there is so deep gap about the understanding of XinJiang between us because of our different background,so it is very difficult to get some result through arguing XinJiang's problem.

Yes, it is fact, some wrong measurements and policy implemented before in XinJiang leads to the current situation, we has already realized it and try to improve the situaition.

Beside the historical stories of XinJiang, at least now it is very important for China's energy safe. Do you think we will do to XinJiang? No matter what the US think, XinJiang be of China.
 
b2ee, just how would one go around asking the Iraqi people if they wanted to be liberated in a country where the government controls all means of communication?

Well at least its arrogance and not a further exacerbation of our ongoing problem with EGONISM. Its a simple statement of fact. Look at the numbers and tell me one country that can stand up o the might of the US military? Go on, prove me wrong. Pardon me if I don't hold my breath while I wait.

As for Xinjiang, you still haven't answered my question. What do you call it? I call it oppression at worst colonisation at best. You say the US is imposing its will on Iraq. THAT is EXACTLY what the :cen: is happening in Xinjiang and Tibet. Did China ASK the Uighur people what they wanted? NO. Did China ask the Tibetan people what they wanted? NO. You simply took them by force and assimilated them into China with specious claims going back to time immemorial. And even if your assumption is correct about the Us and Iraq, at least with us Iraq is still a soveriegn nation, unlike what China has done to Tibet and Xinjiang.

Historical claims are the height of stupidity for claiming territory. Following this line of logic I look forward to the day the Mongol people stake their claim to most of Northern China as it once was theirs. Go on, surprise me with your response. I'm sure in over four years in this country I haven't heard all the lines the CCP has spoonfed into the spongiform craniums of this population.

"china's energy is safe"... and you have the balls to claim the US attacked Iraq for oil??

Doesn't that same thing apply to israel?

Anyway, i think that the current situation in xinjiang is a result of something that happened a long time ago under mao. It was an authoritarian state then and it still has authoriatarian organizations now. The difference between the US and china is that the US is a liberal democracy, and we shouldn't be doing things like invading other countries if we don't want a bad rap.

And i can name a democracy that came into existance without bloodshed. Sweden, Norway, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, New Zealand, and the netherlands. These countries didn't need killing to create a democracy since that's what the people wanted anyway, there was little opposition otherwise.
In Iraq's case we're trying to bring down democracy from above rather than trying to create the need for a democracy from the people.
 
Dont try to lecture me about Xinjiang until you bring your young butt into this country and go there for a year and live with the Uighurs and see first hand wtf I am on about. You are a sophomore in the classic sense of the word.

As for the other democracies. Sorry but Sweden is a parliamentary monarchy, not the same animal. Your ignorance as to the internal brief but violent civil wars within the states of Europe during and shortly after WWII is also showing.

AUS, Can and NZ are still members of the commonwealth and as such their democracies are gifts of the various British civil wars.

NEXT!

They became democracies as they were part of the British Empire, peopled by British citizens and their democratic institutions are a result of the fact they were British through and through hence I say that their democracies were a result of the British civil wars which established a democratic system in the motherland of England and then it was spread to their hoildings as a result of this unique relationship.

I was gonna say are you kiddin me to your presumtuous statement about all democrcies being a result of bloody revolutons, but then I see where you are going with the commonwealth thing. But anyway, in India, democracy wasnt achieved through a bloody revolution, nor was it just given by the British. Next time please dont make such sweeping statements without having the courtesy of asking if you are right.

Oh you really did it now, touched a nerve or something. :lol: There's always an exception to the rule. :p

Sepoy Mutiny anyone? Blood has always been spilled to achieve a democracy. And in the Sepoy mutiny there were Indians killing Indians. There were other incidents of bloody violence as India fought for its freedom and democracy. Yes or no?
 
No actually... the 1857 uprissing wasn't driven by democratic ideology. It was just an anti-British, relatively spontaneous event, which spread like wild fire, wherever there was dissatisfaction with the British. Most of the parties that fought the British (except the rebellious Sipahi's themselves) actually did so because their Lords/Monarchy figures had had enough with the British, not because the people wanted democracy. The Indians fighting Indians was again because the bulk of British forces were made up of Indians, and because the Lords/Monarchs of many Indians supported the British.
 
Hehe, fingolfin361, there are still some common knowledge from friends of the developping countries.

b2ee, just how would one go around asking the Iraqi people if they wanted to be liberated in a country where the government controls all means of communication?
It's a good question. But from the Iraq's reponse,it is easy to justify that they don't like Americans.

Is it standard operating precedure for the opressor to hand over the country back to the opressed? Don't answer.
Hehe,very interesting. Every explaination has its own logic. I don't answer,of cause.

If you are of the Easter Turkistan Islamic Movement or other some similiar organization, hehe, few common idea we have. Maybe sports, I love sports.

About XiJiang and Tibet, just what I ever said, the information in our hands are so much different that we can not discuss it very clearly. "a soveriegn nation", Do you think XinJiang or XiZang was ever "a soveriegn nation" in history? Which year? What name? Which country ever admitted it?

"You simply took them by force and assimilated them into China with specious claims going back to time immemorial." Hehe, you are right. At least it is not bad compared with the way of American white to the local Indians in history.


But bulldogg, you are some radical. It's my feeling.

Its a simple statement of fact. Look at the numbers and tell me one country that can stand up o the might of the US military? Go on, prove me wrong. Pardon me if I don't hold my breath while I wait.
Stand up to the US's might? Do you mean those to resist Americans successfully?Eaaaaaaasy, 1950's Korea,1970's Vietnam,though there were China's support behind them. Wait,wait, I don't set up any opposed feeling now.
It's just an open bbs.

If you are of the Easter Turkistan Islamic Movement or other some organization, hehe , few common idea we have.

You always stick to "XinJiang" or "Tibet" just as I stick to oil, hehe.

Subash Chandler Bose... the 1st independant government... bloodshed between hindus and muslims that actually led to Britain pissing off in the first place... it wasn't Ghandi and the peaceful movement.


And B2ee Xinjiang and Tibet aside... what of the territory seized from India in the 1970's that WAS NEVER a part of China and is still occuppied to this day??


Korea and Vietnam were "small wars" educate yourself on the topic. Neither of those opposing forces faced the full might of the US military. The last countries to do that were Italy, Germany and Japan.

Look, the enviroment becomes moderate now.

Do you mean McMahon Line? If so, I think it is a problem left by English. In the current situation, India and China both don't want to solve the problem in arm since the two countries is developing their economy actively. The territory is not the main problem now for the two countries.

Yes, answer your question. No, you think it is the Indian territory, but it is ambiguous actually.
If I believe our propaganda completely just as you only listen to your side, I would say it is our terittory,not indian's. But I say it is ambiguous.

In fact, English also left another tougher problem to India, Kashmir.

Hi, fingolfin361, Do you have any opinions about the two problems. I really wonder what you think?

small wars? Full might of the US? Win is win,lose is lose. At that time,China also not used its full might. Hehe, I don't mean China is equal to the U.S. I admit that the US is the only super country in the world.

Your logic is wrong. The US used its full might to Axis in WWII,but it is not tensible to conclude reversely that the only reason of the Axis failure is the US using full might.

It seems that you has already contributed WWII to the U.S completely. It is not correct. In my opinion, the role of D Day is exaggerated by many historians, ( but wait, I don't mean that the sacrifice of thousands of Allied soldiers is nothing, I repect them too). Many countries ever fought to Axis,including England,France,Soviet and many many.

About WWII, we even can open anther thread. Yes, in many areas of WWII,the U.S is the key power like the Pacific War, but the U.S was not everything in WWII.

Dollar for dollar, missile for missile, plane for plane right now, today, name me one country that can match the US?

The US was not everything but prior to the US entering the war how were the allies doing? France? England? China? Australia?
 
b2ee, your example of Korea is erroneous at best. There were four different groups in that war, North Korea, South Korea, China and the United Nations (Now that I have mentioned the UN once I will go back to saying the US rather than UN, it's a more accurate protrayal of what happened.). Three of those groups achieved their primary goals, China (maintain a buffer between Chinese communism and Capilizm), South Korea (force the Commies out of their country) and the United States (push the North Koreans out of South Korea) and but nobody completed their secondary objectives (Unite all of Korea under one government.) The only loser in that war was/still is the people of North Korea. They must suffer under a government that doesn't give a damn about them and only stays in power because it has the support of one other nation.

Ugh Subhash Chander Bose...well I'm not his biggest fan. I mean honestly, thinking he could actually gain independence by allying with the Japanese and Germany! I mean honestly, militarily their contribution wasn't really much, and he was a fool to think that the Japs wanted to free us! I mean when the occupied the Andamans Islands, they were worse than the Brits had ever been! Yea, coz Hitler and co. really wanted the best for the Indians! :p

Yea, and its sad how you cite ethnic bloodshed and the disgusting British pullout as a 'struggle for democracy'.

Yeah, well i have never been a fan of China's territorial claim policies, and honestly, find it a joke as to how they came up with the rational that after the British left that they suddenly wanted bits of India. But then again, i'm not informed enough about the Chinese opinion/propoganda, so i can't evaluate the claim as emphatically as I would like.
But practically speaking, the land claims are not major/important enough to amount to too much, i feel. Its more important for us to retain land, as it is a pride/sovereignity thing. I really can't see why China would still want the Arunachal Pradesh territiories today.
That said, I hope we can bring closure to these issues and work together in peace/co-operation. I have to admit though that in general we as a nation haven't got the China mistrust/phobia out of our psyches yet.

The Chinese claim that part of Kashmir was ceded to them by the Pakistani's in.... I want to say 1961 or there abouts, a move calculated by Pakistan to bring China into the Kashmir situation on Pakistan's side, since Pakistan couldn't stand up to the Indians alone they decided to try and bring in the only country in the world that could match up to India man to man, literally.
