And what did you learn from this ??

Answer: You cannot go into a country and force democracy. It has to come from within. There needs to be a basis to build upon. If that basis is not present it is likely to fail. But of course the american government alread knows this. The intent never was/never is to spread democracy. It is all about having the geopolitical influence in the region. A puppet state that will exactly as told by the american government is in the best US interest.

>>You'd better get your facts straight. Iraq is not the only one producing oil. In fact there are far more important countries. The US really does not need Iraqi oil.

>But the world needs for Saddam's sons not to have Iraqi oil.

Again, you're fooled by the american government and media. Though Sadam was certainly not a nice guy, its role in world politics is/was and was going to be very marginal. There are other people that are way more of a threat.

>I could say that a million times and you'll never understand what it means.

I know exactly what you're trying to tell me. However it does not make sense. You're having a very simplistic view on the matter and believe what the government and the media told you. The underlying reason is much more simple that anyone could imagine. The military action was neccesary... dead serious neccesary.... The US was to protect its empire: The dollar.

>>It probably will happen anyways irregardless of this war. Unless the US is going to claim a monopoly on oil.

>His sons are dead. He is dead.

So who are next? Irans president? Chavez? North koreas president? Putin? Or everyone else who is going to nuke the dollar? The US is preventing any country flushing the market with dollars. It would be a very bad, bad scenario.
