Having spent 16 months over here now, I can tell you that the Marines in the Al Anbar province actually do something similar to what you just described.  In fact they take cities that have had lots of problems and basically wall them in them in with a huge berm.  Then they only allow travel in and out thru a few tightly controlled check points.  This reduces the amount of weapons that can be brought in, and it helps to catch foreign fighters and others.

"If I was in yo' shoes, I would be...uh..."\n"Leaving!  What a good idea!!"\n"Whoaaaah!"\n\n(à la "Animal House")\n\nAll seriousness aside, does anyone think we'd give up that toehold in Iraq now, especially since we pulled out of Saudi not too long ago?  How better could we lord it over on Iran and Syria than by having bases right next door?

Can we send them by bus? I think sending a few conservatives by bus to Iraq is a good idea.

You need to contact the state in which you would like to live and ask to see if your degree would be accepted by them.  Perhaps they would only ask that you take a test. I have done this recently for a gentleman friend that wants to move from Baghdad because of the violence.

possibly... but there are 2 problems...\n\nA. cost... it would be a multi-billion dollar operation, especially considering how much damage has been done to many of the palaces since the invasion...\n\nB. culture... it's a very conservative culture that probably wouldn't accept the decadent "casino" lifestyle... after the first 20 or so car bombs, not many people would want to go there to gamble, and there isn't enough local riches to support casinos in Iraq right now...

probably in iraq, but certainly not here.

If yes, what's your current address, phone number, and place employment?................  There's gotta be a law against military desertion. Otherwise, before any conflict there'd be a rush of servicemen leaving. Flipping a burger/pushing paper's different than being shot at.

Move.  Seriously.  Why can't you get satellite internet?  That should be available anywhere.  When I was in Iraq, satellite internet was my only good recreation.

How about we send the W*****rs over to Iraq for a year and see how many come back.

Go to a bar that is outside a military base.\n\nDo some volunteer work at your local police station.  Sometimes, you can volunteer to get drunk at the station so they can pratice giving the roadside sobriety tests.  Sounds like fun- if it's true!
