Ah, you're taking the popular "I'm going to act like a pretentious snob and better than you because I want to come off seeming high and mighty while trying to avoid every conversation that I didn't directly bring up, while completely ignoring a post made by someone else because it goes against what I believe in" route, eh?

And nomatter what I answer, you won't "deem" it "correct".
Technically, any answer I give is correct.
I can make the answer to everything you asked be "peanut butter", and I wouldn't be wrong.
Answers are subjective, and we both know that.


And wait, did you just end that with another subtle, back handed personal attack at me?

I didn't see that one coming.

And okay, you want me to answer them "correctly", do you?

1) What regime has taken over Iraq? I know what your answer will be, but its funny to watch you put it in print.

Peanut Butter.

2) What type of government is currently in place in Iraq?

An anarchistic forced democracy. And everyone should know you can't force democracy. It's something that has to happen on it's own. It's like trying to foce evolution and change in a species. You can influence it, you can manipulate it, but in the end it won't turn out as it's supposed to originally. It will be greatly flawed, unless it takes a natural course. While the Iraqi people may actually want Democracy, and want that change, you can't go in there and force them to change. They need to do it on their own. They need to have a civil revolt under their own power, not a forced hand pushing them towards it, because then those who oppose Democracy, will just get more violent towards the entire thing. While we all know Democracy is the greater good, you still can't force it. Then it's not really going to be Democracy, it will be highly influenced from outside sources, and not actually be "Democracy" in the sense of the word. And I know you'll end up quoting the dictionary on that, and counter-ask "Well what's Democracy then?" without really thinking about what I even said. Because god knows you take more than 5 seconds to process a post I make.

3) How exactly is America imposing their will on the Iraqi people, beyond removing Saddam Hussein by force (you know, killer of 1.5 million Iraqis)?

"We're a deocracy. We believe in Democracy. You need to believe in Democracy too."
I'm not saying Democracy isn't good, but even you cannot deny that they are attempting to force their will - Democracy - on the Iraqi people.

4) What was the percentage of Iraqi's who voted in their first open election?

79.6. I never said the percent would be low, and I never said they wouldn't vote. I said it wouldn't work.
PS an average of about 50% of Americans vote. So is Iraqi Democracy better than American Democracy? "Fuck no, America's the best nation on the world. Fuck yeah."

5) What percentage of civilian deaths have been caused by US military engagements?

Teuth went over that.
Peanut Butter.
