Answer 1

The United States system works. Five calls for pull-out, three of them by Democrats. All five fail. The majority wins again. The same thing happened and President Clinton was in office. People that don't like it don't like democracy. THEY are the enemy.

They attacked President Clinton with lies, rumors, name-calling.
They attack President Bush with lies, rumors, name-calling.

Same type of people using each party as a way to undermine our country and spread seditious lies about us, usually the least educated, straight out of college or less, with little to no experience in how complex world-affairs and politics really is.

Speak up each time you see it.

I'm a Democrat, but support our troops and their mission. I dissent, I disagree, I even protest where I feel moved, but I NEVER undermine my own country. I am a U.S.A. citizen first, a Democrat second.

I'll work on my peers.
You cheer me on.

Answer 2

The surge is working in the areas covered by the surge and I have no doubt that the Iraqi people in those areas are very relieved and grateful. This has been reported. The violence is just moving to other areas though. 150 to 175 killed today in northern Iraq from 5 bombs. Their government has also all but disbanded. This is because the members of parliament do not really want a united central government. The Shia want a Shiite government and the Sunni want a Sunni led government. The Kurds want their own country. How are we going to change that? I would not be surprised in September that the surge will be expanded. It would take another 50 to 100 thousand troops to really make this work. Then, when they redeploy, it would start all over again. Iraq is going to have to decide the outcome of this in the end.

Answer 3

I am a Democrat. I absolutely support our troops. They didn't ask to go there, they were sent there to fight. I don't have to support the decision that was made for us to go to war, but as a patriotic American, I do feel that I must support our men and women who are representing our country. I think it's too bad that ignorant people can't see the difference between not supporting the policy made by our war-mongering oil hungry leaders and supporting the good men and women who are making the sacrifices required to support this war. I have just one question--how many of our Congressmen and Congresswomen and members of the cabinet and the rest of the Executive Branch, including the President, are allowing their children to be sent to the Middle East to fight the war they started??

"It is a singular anxiety which some people have that we should all think alike. Would the world be more beautiful were all our faces alike? were our tempers, our talents, our tastes, our forms, our wishes, aversions and pursuits cast exactly in the same mould? If no varieties existed in the animal, vegetable or mineral creation, but all moved strictly uniform, catholic and orthodox, what a world of physical and moral monotony would it be!" --Thomas Jefferson to Charles Thomson, 1817.

Answer 4

If you look back at Vietnam and even before that to the Korean War and the two world wars you'll see that wars can be supported for so long until the general public doesn't care anymore.

As for the liberals, it seems a little bias to assume they hate America because they criticize U.S. Foreign Policy and question Bush's policies. Although not all of American foreign policy has been criticized by Democrats. There certainly isn't a loud uproar from liberals about the genocide and ethnic cleansing taking place in Darfur, Western Sudan. Nor is there any complaints about the detoriating healthcare system in the States. And what of the failed (sorry to sound pessimistic) upward mobility that was once called the American Dream?

Back to Iraq, to the Liberals or anyone opposing U.S. prescense in Iraq, terrorism is nonstop, Iraqis are dying daily and their deaths are not reported straightforwardly or to large extend as U.S. troops are. U.S. troops are dying daily along side the Iraqis. Osama Bin Laden has not been found and because of the U.S. presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, Al Qadea has found numerous of followers who either hate the U.S., are ultra-religious or feel that the whole world leans on the sides of the U.S. in what is seen as an illegal invasion and occupation. Also remember history plays an important role in how the liberals and any other anti-war opposition view Iraq's success and failures.

Many people around the world see the U.S. engaging in early 20th Century imperialism. It was only hundred years ago that the United States told Europe to stay out its affairs and its hemisphere of influence in Cuba, Haiti, Puerto Ricco, Phillipines and Panama. The Liberals are not historically challenged. Many liberals have probably studied U.S. interventionalism in early 20th Century Latin America, the Carribeans and Phillipines. They have seen and studied the mistakes the U.S. made then in trying to promote democracy and freedom to those countries already stuck in nationalist and anti colonial struggles to gain independence and the right to self determination from remaining Spanish and European colonials.

Often times again, Liberals look back to the Cold War and particulary to the mistakes America made in Vietnam. The U.S. did not know the landscape well, nor spoke Vietnamese, nor learned from the failure of the French to halt nationalist movements in states that were denied the right to self determination because they still lived under decaying colonialism. The colonial administrations were still holding onto their colonies despite suffering from massive debts from the two world wars.

Similiar to Iraq, U.S. did not understand the nationalist movement that had longed gained momentum in the early years of the Cold wars in the early 1950's. Long before the U.S. went into Vietnam (mainly South Vietnam by the way) to "promote Democracy," VietMinh forces in the Northern part of the country were engaged in what they called a "struggle of liberation" from the French who were despiretly trying to hang on to Vietnam and the rest of Indochina including Laos and Cambodia. However, the communist forces proved strong and defeated the French. Just as Al Qaeda sees the U.S. entrenched illegally in the Muslim lands, the VietMinh and later the VietCong saw the U.S. and France forcing their will in the guise of Democracy on people who had long suffered under colonial rule and who no longer were going to take to be shoved around.

Sorry for the long history lesson but I think that explains why the Liberals scream when it comes to Iraq's success and failures. Perhaps for some, it is easy to call someone terrorist or anti-american. But it is even harder to find out the reasons and origins of why that person became the way they are. Terrorism and Anti-American sentiment didn't appear out of the sky, there are reasons for their existances. But rarely do people take the time to search for such origins. It is much easier to yell "Terrorist" or "Bush basher" when times are difficult or government officials believe such negative attitudes should not be directed at the administration and populace as a whole.

Answer 5

I know. It is a very perplexing problem. You have to try to understand the mind of the liberal. Bear in mind that it will take much time and much aspirin to try to come to grips with the trusted way they think.

I'd suggest that you listen to Dr. Michael Savage, a prominent conservative thinker, if you want to understand the liberal. I'd also suggest his books:

"Liberalism is a mental disorder."
"Borders, Language and Culture"
"Political Zoo."

Furthermore, you should try reading a few other conservative thinkers, like Michael Medved or Ann Coulter.

Answer 6

Why don't liberals want American to succeed in Iraq?!!! Simple--they don't want America to succeed, period. The whole point of liberal philosophy is to attack perceived problems without coming up with alternative strategies themselves, with the objective of dividing public opinion and bringing the country down to third world status. They hate America, and any good American committed to maintaining our leadership position in the world.

Answer 7

"we are in the war...get over it"
The troops, their families and the concerned people of America can't just "get over" death, destruction, torture, and unrest. This must be a case of belated shock by a person untouched or unknowledgable about this war. War is a real and sorrowful thing that has no end. "what they are in" is real life, and death, for our sakes and at the government's whim. "everything america does" begets suffering, dysfunction, or death.

Answer 8

Because they have tied themselves to the opposition of the war.In their eyes and minds a success in Iraq would be a failure for them.Very twisted people those Dems.

Answer 9

I agree with you. It seems that Liberals hate America. They should just move to Canada.

Answer 10

Because suicide isnt success

What is your definition of success? Rape, ravage, dead troops, the world hating us??

You think just like Al Qaeda
