By the way the Iraqi government flawed as it is is
1) One of the more tolorant governments in the mideast- Yes or No?
2) One of the most democratic governments in the mideast - Yes or No?
3) Far more tolerant , democratic and representative than the government it replaced - Yes or No?
By the way if you are so concerned about democracy and representative goverments then why not a word from you DD on other mideast regimes (most or all are worse ) What is up with the selective criticism? |
Selective criticism??? We weren't talking about the state of governments in the middle east. Again, you just are "fantastic" with how you read and argue...
That said, I do agree with the take on SOFA's . Yes, they do ensure that those involved get a fair shake. But many SOFA's provide many clauses which protect the nationals involved and give them some semblance of power over the events. In the case of Iraq, nil. Further, SOFAs do not to my knowledge allow the military to have the American tried in an American civil court. Why not???? It is all about control, level of control. The Iraqi's have none.
About ME governments. Many are horrible. I agree. Egypt would be my biggest culprit (if that qualifies as middle east ) and is a powder keg just waiting to blow, you wait). Syria is a gulag and Jordan also. Saudia Arabia would get the least of my condemnation, simply because they have atleast tried to have some form of "benevolence" whereby the general population can have their concerns addressed. But you are right, horrible situation. But Iraq I'm sorry to say, does NOT rank anywhere near the heights of democratic brillance that you say .

Are they more democratic and representative than Iraq yes or no?

Why is Egypt the worst in your opinon. Actually in the mideast Egypt is a little worse than the others.
Saudi Arabia well they have oil that they can buy people off. but their human rights record was pretty bad too.
By the way it is selective criticism cause you are obsessed with getting the US for anything and everything you can and you seem rather uninterested in far worse going on close by |
