		<description>Iraq was a big success. Remove the threat and got the oil. 


Oh, removed it, did they?

Anyone who believes we are much better off now in Iraq (and the rest of the world) than the first few months of this war is a fool.

And why are my gas prices still so damn high?

		<description>unfortunately, even when i step over doggie-doo i sometimes have to deal with the obnoxious smell-much akin to skipping your posts.  

i'm just suggesting that you find some new territory to empty your bowels on.</description>

		<description>nulji,

why is it that you feel the urge to add to this forum but can never come up with relevant or at least semi-objective content?  a word of advice-if you keep your mouth shut, people won't know how stupid you are.</description>

		<description>If the US did not go to Iraq after Afgan, we may had another attack like the 9/11.  More Islam fundamentalist freaks would have attacked the US.  They just want to be the number one in the world.  Knocking Americans off gives them reaffirmation that "Allah rules this planet".

The fact is "Jesus rules the Earth".  Spain, England, America...and...and maybe Korea?  Why not?  England was just a small island before God used her.

The more Koreans follow THE TRUE God, the better Korea will become.</description>

		<description>Nulji, how come you never go after Baduk here?  From what I can see you two seem to be political opposites.  

We're all American citizens right?  So how come the dif?  

Could it be "pride" in your shared Korean ethnicity? You swing furiously at me, yet give Baduk a pass when he calls for the immediate bombing of North Korean reactors.  And see immediately above for his views on Iraq.    

According to you the real problem is "...folks like [me] and the he-man expat with his well manicured nails...".  Well, thanks for the reminder -- it is time to get my nails done again.</description>

		<description>Nulji,

I did not mean, say, or imply that other nations don't have pride.

Korean pride?€? one thing that many Westerners notice when reading Korean
press, especially those that don?€™t read it often or having been away from
it for awhile, is the outright obsession with Korea's place in...
everything. Ranking 11th here, 9th there, 3rd someplace else. And the
desire to move up in that ranking. That type of 'pride' is not (most
usually) addressed that way in the West. I don't know how many times I
have been told by Koreans that they were the first to have moveable metal
type, have ironclads, etc.

Korean pride in industry? You bet. Military industry is no different,
hence the projects I mentioned above.

It?€™s noticeable and should not be controversial to say so.

As far as Iraq, my answer is that it took U.S. help (billions of dollars
and decades) to get South Korea on the track to democracy - all the while
some saying it was a waste of time and money, that the Koreans could never
achieve anything like democracy - so we can give Iraq a little more time.</description>
