As for me Being a Libyan that has lived his life mainly in america and the latter in the middle east. I have seen the best of both worlds. But my main concern is the american motives here in the Middle East. It is fueled by Hungry oil tycoons who want to manipulate the people here against one another in order to suck us dry of the most precious resource. I really hope to see things settle down. But with this American Goverments Reason for comming here to rid the middle east of so called "Terrorists" and spread democracy. I am just not buying those lies as an excuse for them to reap and spread mayhem for the sake of material gains...
Please discuss this subject freely since i really would like to here viewpoints from everyone concerning this matter that effects everyones daily lives...
well as I am originaly from Irak, I have offcourse my view for this subject.
It is true that americans are searching for oil and want to remove all threats for Israel BUT, what did we have in Irak? we had a dictator who was boosted from USA and europe at the time of IRAK-IRAN war. but then they saw a danger in having him there.. so they decided to remove him. The people in Irak suffered under this dictator. the oil was only used for war and the interessts of Sadam Hussain. and nobody did anything against him. I mean nobody inside Irak tried to remove the regimme. only the Kurds (as I am) were able to free a part of the country from the regimme.
what happend now? The US may have it´s own advantage from the situation. but not only USA, I can tell you that alot of things changed, specialy from finacial point of view, a teacher for example, he was earning about 10 dollars a month at the time of Saddam Husain and now they get at least 200 dollars. belive it or not we have democray, in the past 30 years nobody was able to say anything bad about anybody from the regimme, and the basic rule of democray it having a free oppinion. The economy in Irak is booming, it is clear that it will take time before everything gets better, and the terrorists in Irak stop with their terror. But I am sure that everything will be much better in about 10 years.
