Came across W's press release of the famous "mission accomplished" press release. it makes for an interesting read knowing what we know now:
President Bush Announces Major Combat Operations in Iraq Have Ended
Remarks by the President from the USS Abraham Lincoln
At Sea Off the Coast of San Diego, California
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much. Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. (Applause.) And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country.
In this battle, we have fought for the cause of liberty, and for the peace of the world. Our nation and our coalition are proud of this accomplishment -- yet, it is you, the members of the United States military, who achieved it. Your courage, your willingness to face danger for your country and for each other, made this day possible. Because of you, our nation is more secure. Because of you, the tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free. (Applause.) >>>Full text

Under Islamic system, everything is taken away from us.

In Iran, the assholes at helm are lackeys to this system. Otherwise, they would have interests of Iranians in mind and they would be a friendly and peaceful country. They could have military of other countries to defend Iran. Why should we pay for military to defend their oil stealing scheme? Let them develop Iran with our own oil money stolen from us. They need to protect their capitals. Iran is once developed, the capital will do its own wonder.
F6%$, US and others would take some of our wealth, but our livelihood and dignity would be preserved. Under Islamic system, everything is taken away from us. The best course is to become peaceful and share our wealth with entire world and have them to protect us to protect their own ass.
