why do Americans think that their Army is there only because they have been threatened by the Iraq'?

Question

do u people really think that Iraq might be able to attack America?
You All must understand.... The American Army is in Iraq for different reasons such as to controll Oil... to Dominate more countries.... etc....
Media is corrupted you have to see in you nacked eyes

Answer 1

Many Americans don't think that. No one I know thinks that. They are there because the government sent them.

Iraq may not be able to do anything to us.. but we are more after the people who can. the terrorists

Answer 2

Been at the Bar Studying Political Science I See,But Sweetie When You Sober Up and Realize Its Not A Nice World,And The People are Disgusting,Whatever Else Comes In Iraq,At Least We Can Say They Had A Chance For A Better Life

Answer 3

If the USA was as domineering as the press in Europe and other parts of the world would have you believe. The USA would be in total control of all the worlds oil (well except for Russia and China). Come to think about it the USA already controls the worlds oil. All the oil in the world has to be paid for in US $$$. Even when China buys oil from Iran they pay for it in US $$$. Also the US Navy owns all the oceans in the world. The US Navy has enough power to sink all the navies of the world combined in less than a day.

I guess what I am getting to is that the USA has owned the world (not just the oil) for the past ten to twenty years, but we have just been nice enough to let the rest of the world do what they want.

I do have to say that I did hear rumors that Saddam was planning on selling oil for Euros instead of US $$$ and that was the main reason for the invasion, but I do not know.

The fact is he needed to be taken out of office, but so do about a hundred other despots. You might ask why him? Well why not? He deserved it and it taught other nations like Lybia a lesson.

Answer 4

This tired old argument is ridiculous of course.

America has less oil now than before the war started

IF American wanted to attack someone to get oil, which they do not and have not, we would already own the small country of Venezuela.
Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, a crappy little army, no real freinds in the world, and only about 1000 mile south of Texas or Florida,

Answer 5

This is a perfect example of faulty thinking based on overgeneralization. First mistake: You're accusing all Americans of thinking the same way on any issue. Second mistake: You've bought into an unjustifiable claim that Americans think Saddam was going to attack the U.S. directly. He'd likely have wreaked havoc on closer targets first. Third mistake: America's invasion of Iraq caused the price of oil in America to increase, not decrease. Do the math! Fourth mistake: You've bought into the typical Muslim propaganda that a western country wants to take over the world. Hitler wanted this, but no one else since has. Fifth mistake: Apparently you believe your media are more reliable than ours? Sure, our mainstream media are slanted in a politically liberal direction, but what is your source? Al Jazera? At least we in a free country have access to multiple perspectives of these important issues.

Answer 6

Do you really think that any other country is willing to step up to the plate? Americans are no different than other country who believes in democracy. The difference is that the United States can recognize a brutal dictator who supports terrorism. Our way of life and freedom is being destroyed by Islamic zealots

Answer 7

Why is it that people like you judge "all americans" together? We are individuals, with individual thoughts.

That being said, we do not think Iraq the country will actually attack us, but perhaps those individuals that are in Al Quida... seeing that many, many, many Al Quida members live in Iraq - that is why we are there.

Answer 8

we definitely dont all think that. im one of the ones that know we definitely aren't there because of some threat from iraq. i believe there is not any good reason for our country to be over there. YOU also shouldnt generalize and should see that not all americans are in support of the war. in fact the majority dont support it at all.

Answer 9

Yeah, right. Since american troops in Iraq and Afganistan, there were no terrorist attack in american soil. Coincidence?
Sadam was most peaceful guy of course...

Answer 10

Ima a american in spite of a few of those evidences, iran does no longer had marked CIA as terrorists yet consequently of incontrovertible truth that Bush were given right here on skill he kept bulling about "nuke guns" and diverse of distinct distinct pretend accusations about iran which fairly pissed them off.surely iran and usa of usa of america of usa of america replaced into making peace and as for this reason bush that is now a record worse. and that i thoroughly trust assisting Israel's killing of palestines it fairly is definitely unacceptable and why the hell do they even help israel? yet CIA is managed by employing creating use of our goverment so yeah, all individuals understand whos at fault
