text: Well, the US fought its own bloody civil war on the way to nationhood; perhaps it’s a right of passage democracies have to go through. Imagine if there had been a third power standing between the Yankees and the Confederates saying ‘cant you guys just all get along?’ Yea…right…. Would have gone down a treat.\n\nThe US is now no more than the meat between the two slices of bread trying to eat each other. Those who can afford to flee Iraq are doing so at a rate equivalent to 1% population per month. 1%…. that’s bad, real bad…. Do the math, civil war is inevitable and is already there, its just not yet very organised. That is changing. Blood will point the way to the future, and rather a lot of it.\n\nHow on gods earth the Americans thought they could bring democracy to Iraq is beyond me, a high school history student should have seen this coming. Power held for centuries by a 30% minority now suddenly and effectively disenfranchised from power by democracy. Who would swallow that? I know what will happen though; the US will pull out of Iraq and support the government against the anti government ‘insurgents’… which will be on a percentage of population basis more than those Americans who voted for Bush.
