Why We Cannot Win In Iraq

(Preveously posted:11/05/03) The United States’ Army cannot and will not be successful in bringing peace or democracy to Iraq and its people. Our success would first require that our agencies and Army be prepared for occupying this or any foreign country, especially one that we are not familiar with their language or customs. Our neglect and ignoring the African and Muslim world has created a vacuum that cannot be overcome over night. This neglect is an extension of the neglect of Blacks in America This and previous administrations have discriminated against minorities in its security agencies to such an extent that past and present practices have caused the lack of the ability to investigate this quagmire being created in Iraq. Minority groups in this country have sued the FBI/CIA and every intelligence agency for discrimination. These agencies and their practices supported by the present administration in particular, need to be investigated by the UN for its violations of human rights and lack of equal opportunities.
