What Iraq Needs

Article = None , personal opinion.

So. What the heck does Iraq need to stop all this nonsense. What the heck is with all the sectarian fighting and the insurgents and all of that ? And how do we stop it ?

Police Officers.

Let me explain.

The population has lived under a religious dictatorship since the beginning of time, or a few centuries, or whatever. You apease the powers that be , then its ok to go home and beat your wife, sneak out at midnight and murder your next door neibour, rape his daughter and then slit her throat , anything you like.

Who's gonna stop you ? Nobody.

What about the police under Sadam Hussain ? Nope. They just collect bribes from people. Don't pay up , they arrest you and drag you off and maybe your family learns you've been murdered by them, maybe they don't , either way you wind up in a mass grave.

There is no "Law of the Land" , no respect for the police , and most importantly , no police actually worth respecting. Even the current american backed police are still the bribe taking corrupt evil doer's that would be thrown in jail in any western country rather than wear a uniform.

In the western nations, terrorists do not draw the ire of the army. They are handled by the police , and half the time it turns out the cops have been watching them for the last year in secret , gathering evidence , and only move now because it looks like the terrorist are going to so something.

There's what , one successful terrorist incident , in all of the western nations , every six months. Why ? Because the terrorist can't even fart without the police knowing what they had for lunch, thats why.

You need cops on the ground. Honest cops. Not the corrupt retrained Iraqi's who fill out the final exam's in their police courses correctly but still are just as corrupt as always.

It's not gonna happen without the cops , Bush my man. Just not happening.
