What has been the real impact of the Iraq war on the domestic politics of the US?

Answer 1

It has shown the far left nuts to be the American-hating losers they have always been.

Notice I did not include all or even a majority of Democrats in this category. First, many Democrats actually support the war - I work with many and serve alongside many in my National Guard unit. Second, there are many Democrats who oppose the war based on well thought-out reasoning and principle. I happen to disagree with them, but they oppose it based on something they perceive as true rather than just hating it because it is chic to bash the President.

Answer 2

To much of our money and resources go to the iraq war, that is why the Katrina victims got the shaft. That is why education is not being looked at - no money for funding education programs they are all being used up by war. The country is falling in moral after the president has turned this country and the way it is run into a joke, he has pushed back any relationship that we had or could have had with other countries back to the days when we were barely able to talk to those countries.

I was pretty glib on these answers, for more specifics (which will take a while) email me if you really want to know or are working on a subject and I will give you those specifics (or if it is homework, I will show you where to find them)

Answer 3

Like everything else these days, with regard to politics, it has a divisive effect. But that's not reallly an impact of the war, that's politicians using the war to make things divisive. Politics now is all about lying, exagerrating, and calling the other side names. It has become truly pathetic. The Democrats, I have to say, have been particularly nasty since they lost the majority.

Answer 4

Domestically, I think it has separated the country into two distinct groups.

One group does not believe in a significant terrorist threat. They see surveillance as a violation of civil rights, they want military spending and war spending to drop, and is better spent on education, health care, and welfare.

The other group believes in a significant terrorist threat. After 9/11, they believe that even a small terrorist threat could kill thousands or, with germ or nuclear weaponry, millions of people. They believe that the US government must first protect its people. That means taking down Iraq and Afghanistan, and fighting against Islamist terrorism at each possible opportunity.

Answer 5

Domestic politics is given the same amount of attention as welfare and medicaid. Foreign politics mainly consists of war over oil. Yes, I agree - embarrassment.

Answer 6

definite. i might want to like an end to the warfare that we may be able to look back on and say we did the sturdy for Iraq with as little mess and fee as lets. i pick to look back and say we were efficient and efficient, yet, i imagine that is too previous due now. i do not see how that could ensue, and that i do not see the way it may help us contained in the wider image any more advantageous than pulling out might want to, although if that did ensue. I do exactly not imagine that is accessible.

Answer 7

While the Bush administration is RAPING Iraq and getting RICH off of it at the same time, the Republicans are b*tch-slapping the Democrats and just GETTING OFF the same time.

Answer 8

It turned the Democrats into loopy loony barking moonbats who would rather see millions die horrible deaths than see Bush have anything resembling a success.

Answer 9
