Post War Iraq
Here is what I believe is going to happen in Iraq . . .
Firstly Bush is going to "rebuild" Iraq by himself and not allow anyone else besides "coalition" troops to maintain stability in the region and in the world. This isn't his job to do, because it is the international community's responsibitly and duty to maintain stability in the world, and not a country that has some lets say "preferential idealogy." This task of rebuilding Iraq should be left up to Kofi Annon and the UN, because their rulings will have the most legititamacy than any other group. But nonetheless Bush believes that it is his "job" to rebuild Iraq, which really it comes down to him believing that "to the victor goes the spoils," and that since he defeated Iraq, he gets the right to reap the nation of anything he wants. This doesn't make much sense to me, just because the Iraqi people have seen of enough of the imperialist America, and now want their nation to be rebuilt, not re-cultivated with American societal standars and so on, the Iraqi's need an organization in their that will be able to rebuild and care for the people . . . hell the WHO should been in there five weeks ago. Secondly on Bush's road to "rebuilding" I believe that he will take the Iraqi's oil. He will do this on the front that the oil is going into funds that are headed towards rebuilding Iraq, so therefore he isn't taking the oil he is just using for the same purposes that the Iraqi's would hopefully use it for . . . rebuilding. But rather this oil money will not benefit the Iraqi's to the large extent that it should, rather much of the money, not all because that would be to obvious, will be stolen and will be used the same way Bush uses most of American tax money - to benefit his friends in higher position. And thusly Iraq will turn into another Afganistan, will the Drug Lords taking over the nation and, not one single road being built, and not one single step taken towards democracy in that nation.
Lastly, I don't believe that the UN would do a perfect job in Iraq, they had some problems in Bosnia, which they did manage to overcome, but I believe that because the UN is a more neutral body then the US and also that the Iraqi's trust the UN more than they do the US, that the UN would be the better body to oversee this affair. If this is not handled properly every America that lost his life, lost it for nothing, and every Iraqi soldier and civilian that was killed, was killed for no reason. This will be the hardest part of the war, and I don't trust Bush to do it.
