Honestly, they've already had their chance to try and govern themselves. Now they just get in the way.
How can you honestly argue that these people are still humans, considering the number of atrocities they commit against themselves daily? How they can't even get over a sectarian religious feud that started eons ago? Or even how the average Iraqi has an IQ far below that of retarded?
Which is more easily accomplished, a full frontal attack? Or set up the opposition to destroy themselves form within? That's my point. We do it everytime we enter a country, set them free and just leave without rebuilding anything or helping them. We as Americans fuck up the end game on account "It's not popular at the moment" "Nobody gives a fuck about Pakistan","..Afghanistan" - Charlie Wilson's War. We were in Afghanistan in 1987 selling arms to the Afghans via Saudi Arabia and Israel to avoid direct attachment, plausible deniability. The Russians were invading North Afghanistan and slaughtering the people wholesale via helicopters. Please argue with me, bring some dialogue to this discussion, I really want to challenge some people's intellects, not to win, but to succeed via people actually doing some damned research... ...that is, if anyone actually gives a damn for the moment(popularity). I'm dying to provide my Uncle's FIRST-HAND accounts of these events on account he was in the Army from 85-89 and he was one of the guys reporting how many aircraft were being shot down. Did anyone else notice in that movie, "Charlie Wilson's War", that the footage looked a little too lifelike? That's because IT WAS ACTUAL FOOTAGE OF THE ATTACKS THAT WERE DECLASSIFIED merged with movie footage. It's a very informative piece of film work and I'm glad that it's available to observe the true human nature that EVERY HUMAN is capable. This east against west is ridiculous, but still, it has its merits. Albeit a stupid idea, it's still an idea and I can't discount it because it's stupid. It does get me to pay more attention as it is challenging to my possited dogmas. Do the research or not, it's completely up to you.
