for a country with overwhelming Muslim majority, having a special line on the freeway for non Muslims is a privilege is it not?
Thousands of cars with Muslims in one lane compared to few cars with non Muslims in another lane....
The segregation of Muslims and non-Muslims is done to prevent non-Muslims from entering Mecca (or Makkah as shown in the pic).
It's not done out of courtesy. It's done out of fanaticism and elitism. Barring all non-Muslims from an entire city is as xenophobic as you can get, and it speaks volumes about orthodox Islam in general.

So the outgoing Bush administration appear to be so annoyed that they are being asked for a firm date of withdrawal that they are going to demonstrate to the Iraqis what happens when they aren't patrolling the streets. It will provide an excuse for an extended stay. Does America not want to come home or something? Do they love being in Iraq that much? So much for the ethos of personal responsibility - it seems that the US have an underlying desire to stay in Iraq indefinitely, as far as I can make out. If the insurgents are smart they won't play into the Americans hands and will maintain a lull in activity until an agreement is signed. They should pull a 'Basra following the British withdrawal'. A pretty nasty trick to play on Obama coming into office - perhaps this is what Biden was talking about. We may see a strike on Iran too now that Bush has nothing left to lose.

I agree with Kmarion...I think this is more to see how the Iraqis do both as a potential confidence builder for the Iraqis and as a litmus test. Announcing it also lets the insurgency know and therefore is a make/break test for the 'locals'.
its actually from the AP if you bothered to pay attention. sadly you would rather be a parrot.462nd NSP653 wrote:

Ummmmmm, not sure how PERSONAL responsibility has anything to do with what you are saying, but I know, you need to try and get your digs in where ever possible. Being so offended by the sheer notion that one should be responsible for himself.CameronPoe wrote:

Offended by personal responsibility? Me? lol. I'm completely and totally personally responsible. Offended at the notion that Iraq can't be responsible for itself perhaps.lowing wrote:

Personal responsibility as in taking care of your own affairs, policing your own streets, paying your own way... for a country that loathes welfare so much you sure don't mind pumping billions into Middle Eastern countries.lowing wrote:

Can someone explain to me why clinton bombed iraq in 1998?
Air strikes are a lot more effective than invasions at keeping threats contained at a cheap cost.usmarine wrote:

so an illegal invasion or attack into another country is ok as long as it is cheap? oh...and clinton did it?Turquoise wrote:
