The resistance in Iraq shows that so far everything is happening within the boundaries of normality, a powerful nation invades a weaker one due to geo-political and strategic reasons. Politicians on both sides find cover stories for their actions. The invading army needs to stabilise the invaded country, so that it can have in the future, a willing ally in the region, access to an army base in the heart of the region, and access to the wealth of resources.

Then there is a natural reaction to the invading force, it is called resistance (despite what the politicians of the invading country call it), and is given coverage by the people of the invaded country. It’s a natural reaction, it is to be found in all cases through out history where one country invaded another, the American politicians don’t have to fabricate stories to claim that only Saddam loyalists and fanatics are fighting the American army no one who is educate can believe such a thing, it’s contrary to human nature and also to human history.

The rebuilding of Iraq has nothing to do with good will, it is not a sign of how 'nice' or 'great' America is, or how 'different' they are from other nations in the past.

France and Britain built universities, railways, ports, hospitals, roads etc.. in their colonies because they needed stable and productive colonies so that they could make a profit, invading a small village in the Congo is not going to get you much if you don't invest in making it a productive source. They didn't do any of this out of good will, or because they cared about the inhabitants of the colonies they invaded, in fact if you read what their Orientalists wrote about the inhabitants it is obvious that they thought they were superior and that the inhabitants of what they called the ‘East’ were just morons who were waiting to be educated about European and Western values, Christianity, democracy etc.. (much like today)

This is all power-politics. it's been like that since the earliest of times, the only difference today is that the players wear suites, use computers and have tanks and airplanes where as in the past they rode horses and wore robes. The ideologies and behaviours are the same, it's obvious to anyone who has seriously read about these things.

Wake up. This is nothing new, it’s a natural cycle. Same crap, different year.
