So we all know that politics take an active part in our lives, whether we like it or not. Since our lives and the events affecting us affect our writing, politics therefore influence our writing, however miniscule the degree to which it does so.
This is pretty much a political discussion of sorts.
Just:
1. Keep it legal.
2. Keep it intelligent (support your cause with legitimate points).
3. Don't kill each other.
If the discussion in here is lacking... I'll be posting some topics. And then I will assume the responsibility of bugging all of you to take an active part in the society around us.
Reminder: This guild is made up of more than just Americans. We have people from all over the world from different countries, cultures, and genders...
so try not to offend anyone too badly either, for your own sake.

Does America have the right to interfere with the Iraqi government?
As we all know, Iraq has recently voted for a government. After the reign of Sadam Husein, the country was left in pieces. The U.S. took a step up to the plate and decided that Iraq needed a new form of govenrment. The voting was successful and a new government was made. The only problem is that I think the U.S. rushed them. They only had two months to decide while we, on the other hand, had two years. It doesn't seem fair. For two years, America had a weak central government under the Articles of Confederation. The government was not allowed to impose taxes and control trade. When the new Republic government came about, no one really payed attention to it. They thought they could brush it off like the last government, but they couldn't. George Washington made sure that the new Constitution was enforced. There was the issue of implied powers, according to the Federalists, and enumerated powers, according to the Republicans (Democratic-Republicans). Some of my friends argue that it's okay to rush them because we already made the mistakes and know what to expect. But some of my friends also argue that it isn't fair to rush the Iraqis because what's best for us may not be best for them. Like the way women have to cover their faces with scarves. Some may like it that way and some may not, but that raises a whole different question.

I remember this from a couple weeks ago in AP U.S. History (i.e. the Articles of Confederation v. the Constitution)
I think that forming a new government for Iraq is definitely different from creating one for the U.S. because of the differences in religious beliefs and the issue of separation of religion and government. However, I think that this swift formation of a new government in Iraq was a pretty good move, since there's all these insurgents floating around. What Iraq needs right now, I think, is some source of unity that can only come from an established government. The most important issue at hand is calming the Iraqi population and convincing terrorist groups/insurgents that Iraq is so united that it's hopeless for them to get what they want through violence and brutal methods. This might take a couple of years to solve, but afterwards, Iraq can think of the political issues that aren't as urgent as the current issue, and then change their government accordingly. Iraq needs a sense of stability...
I dunno xp I've been out of the loop for some while now...

Well, I don't believe we should push the Iragi goverment into having us make there goverment.
But there country is having some serious polital and ecomic trouble.
And since the terrorists are from there we are keeping our eye over them. I think we are wasting our precious soldiers lives in sending them over there.
All Bush wants is the Iraqi oil anyway.
He has no interest in proctecting us.
He just requires that oil to fuel our economy.

Why are we trying to start a new government in one that quite apparently doesn't want ours, while we're practically ignoring Burma????

Well thats a little etchy to say on. I don't believe that we want there goverment, as much as we just want to show the rest of the world that we CAN destroy them. It's really just a threat to the entire world.

yes, but it just makes us look like even more uncaring, brutish jerks than originally thought, especially with the situations in other parts of the world now.
We're wasting time, energy, and people on things which could likely sort themselves out better if we stood back.
And besides, everyone knows we're big and bad already, they don't need reminding.

Very true. We just need to back off of Irag and Afghanistan. I'm not sure why Afghanistan is still involved at all. It's absolutely ridiculous.
