democracy in Iraq Options

[Retrogressive]

Before stating wether you think we should still be in Iraq please think about this: Is it considered freedom if one nation forces another nation to be under the same government just because we believe that it is right? Does this justify inforcement of democracy in other countries? If we obolish different cultures it will obolish the very thing that makes us human- diversity. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with anything, I do believe in human rights especially womens rights. I just would like to get other opinions- elaborate.

Nothing "justifies" the united states invading a country just to implant democracy. In fact, I don't know of any war that was started just to make the country a democracy, its just a part of the clean up. In theory communism is grate, but in real life it is nothing by failure. Communist countries end up having massive amounts of poverty due to the fact that communism is just a stock pile of war resources. The only communist country that has succeeded in some areas is China, but its government is hated by almost every country - and NO company will invest billions in new ideas in China. Communism hurts overall economy.

Wrong...wrong...wrong!

The growth of the Chinese GDP from 1980-2000 has been triple the growth of the US. This is due to factors which include rising inflow of foreign capital. Direct investment in Chinese business accounts for the major source of foreign capital inflow.

If this is true, then why must China make so much investments in foreign companys?

One company has invested over 3 billion in China, and its all for the name of Oil. Haliburton. Verizon DENIED a contract China offered to invest billion in telecommunications, such as wireless and fiber optic. Where did Verizon invest the money, Russia. Wal-Mart only invested about 1 trillion because there market in Japan has failed so far. As for eBay, they got owned by Yahoo! in the auction business in Japan, and they view China as there way to make up the difference. China, is a last resort. Any investment agency will tell you to back off China based companies, they are unstable.

^yup. and they have a "fake" communist goverment.

once iraqis heard about democracy, im sure they wanted it. if they didnt, then we shouldnt have forced it onto them.

Its hard to run a Communist country on the ideals of Democracy.
