the population of iraq doesnt get democracy.. they have been brought up under fear.. their view of people with "power" is that they beat and mistreat the proletariat. they're used to being ruled with an iron fist, not through ruling themselves..
left to themselves i'm sure after a long brutal war between the groups there one would gain control.

re: iraq ure right, but u mentioned muslims as a whole, and u did so in a very polemic manner, meaning u are not providing a greater context to that statement. rather generalizing dont u think?

WAKE UP, far from every Muslim is a radical fundamentalist
,so if someone is not a muslim,that means he won't fight against an occupation to his country.

Again you're having trouble with the order of events. The land was not named after the Palestinians, the Palestinians were named after the land(The term 'Palestinian' was coined based on the name of the land to psychologically link an arbitrary group of people to this land) and I wonder how you can even argue on the issue of entitlement to the land without knowing such basic facts.
*Palestine
The term "Palestine" is believed to be derived from the Philistines, an Aegean people who, in the 12th Century B.C., settled along the Mediterranean coastal plain of what is now Israel and the Gaza Strip. In the second century A.D., the Romans crushed the revolt of Shimon Bar Kokhba (132 CE), during which Jerusalem and Judea were regained. Three years later, Judea (the southern portion of what is now called the West Bank) was renamed Palaestina in an attempt to minimize Jewish identification with the Land of Israel. The Arabic word "Filastin" is derived from this Latin name.

Occupation? Wouldn't you define their current lives as lives under occupation?- well it's not an occupation by an outsider but an occupation indeed and more importantly from within their country by their autocratic governmental establishment. If anything, such "occupation" would only free them from the binds of their confined being.

Easy for you to say. After all, you live in a country that is currently occupying the land of other people, so we can see where you get this positive outlook on occupation from.
