i really need alot of help on this.....? 10for best answer!?

Question

why when someone askes a question on here like "what do you think of the war" all the answers are "i hate it" and "its so stupid" every single person says it. then if someone asks a question like "what would you do if korea invades america" everybody says, "go to war" or "load up the guns and head out." .......arent we in a war situation, why would anybody disagree with this war that we are in and agree with a war that we even thought about doing yet. to sum it all up 'iraq invades us and kill thousands, nobody agrees with the war. korea doesnt attack us and everybody wants to got to war with them!'

only logical answers wanted!?!?!?

Answer 1

The question in a lot of peoples minds is:
"Why invade a country that was not threat to us, but not even threaten to invade a country that IS a threat to us?"

I personally, think that war should only be used as a last resort. Was the danger from Iraq imminent? No. Is the danger from North Korea imminent? Maybe. I think that we must first work at diplomacy before we start "rattling sabers". One nuclear missile launched, from either side, is one too many.

I agree that there are a lot of people on here that are quick to spout off the latest 6-second sound byte or personally attack or insult people, and there are those who take the time to craft a response based on their own views and research. It's usually fairly easy to tell the difference.


edit:
It is nice to see a serious question getting some serious answers, though.

Answer 2

Okay. If memory serves, there was a high approval rating at the onset of the Iraq War under the sales pitch of “welcomed as liberators”. In democracies, dead soldiers and mistruths don’t sell well. So discontent grows until you realize the original reason you were sold on turns out to be false. Then people realize they may not like this.

Now on the other foot, North Korea is a legitimate, "I have nuclear weapons" real problem. This man is very dangerous and is threatening a whole region. So people are not necessarily for a war, but to prevent actual nuclear attacks in Japan or Alaska.

I hope that helped.

Answer 3

I dislike the fact that people don't want us to hunt for terrorists. We do no not want anymore blood shed in on our soil. That is the reason we are there. When you look at this way it makes better sense. The terrorists reminded me of an old Chuck Norris movie "invasion America". How they just strolled on in. I have to disagree w/ some that say WWIII is here. WWIII has been going on for a while now but will never be recognized as this. I'd say Korea will be hurtin for certain if they tried anything. Let em play w/ the missles and rockets, we have counter measures. We would have to be the stupidist nation run by the stupidist morons if we didn't have them. Wake up America! Give the Military support and wish them well for a safe return. They fight so you can walk in the streets of "your city and towns" without fear of an airplanes or missles crashing into your A$$! We are all victims, and I hope we have learned we don't want anything else to happen to us or at least most of us.

Answer 4

North Korea is very dangerous as is Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, and even Iraq. North Korea fired a missile targeting Hawaii (a U.S. state) which is considered an act of war, but it failed miserably. If anyone want to destroy your family, will you destroy that person first before he or she gets to your family? Let's use an example: Let's say I am an Iraqi citizen and the United States (or any other nation invade) will I thank my invaders or fight my invaders? I will fight any invader that comes. Why? Because you're in my homeland trying to take over. I don't care if its in the name of democracy or what. You're in the wrong. Now let's use this nation. Some nation invades the United States even for revenge. I will take up arms and fight even if it means my death. This is human nature, my friend.

Answer 5

1. First of all, your spelling and grammar is terrible. I'm sorry, but I just had to get that out.

2. Iraq is never going to invade us. They don't have the man power.

3. The war in Iraq was based on FALSE pretenses that Saddam possessed weapons of mass desctruction, which was proven not to be the case.
Even the Bush administration admitted that they relied on mistaken intelligence. Regardless, the U.S. attacked THEIR country anyway, despite the communication error.

4. Whereas if North Korea attacks us, of course we're going to strike back! What do you expect? That we're going to sit with our thumbs up our a$$es?
They are more than capable of attacking us by being geographically closer to the U.S.

I'm sure that the Bush administration is fully aware of this, and they'll continue to keep an eye on them.

Answer 6

I think, honestly, that the short answers you describe above are just regurgitate Daily Show clips, or something seen on MTV. I think they are from uninformed people. It's the cool thing to say in some circles, and so is invading Korea....I guess they don't realize how hypocritical they are.

That being said, there are intelligent answerers on here that disagree with the war, disagree with the reasons for going to war, but they don't give two word answers, they give complete thoughts. They have my respect, though I disagree with them, because they are informed, and write in coherent sentences.

Answer 7

I'd say it's because the people of Iraq are stupid, yet we think Koreans are much smarter, one because they know how to build their own nuclear weapons; plus, Bush wasted at least $100 billion on the Iraq war. Mainly, the reason we'd go to war with Korea is because we'd be in some real deep sh*t if we don't fight back, yet with Iraq, Bush liked wasting a lot of money, and they were much easier to fight and contain.

Answer 8

The answers differ because some people treat the word war as if it is both a noun and a verb in the same sentence. Go to war. warring, warrior, Iraq War, war on drugs.
They answer from an emotional perspective.
It is natural to hate violence but resort to it in self defense.
Even the lion, generally, doesn't kill for sport but it kills, to eat, to live, to survive.
No one and I mean anyone who has seen war first hand and survived WANTS a war for sport or fun or oil or politics.
I'm tired of short, cute funny answers to serious questions.
I wish you luck in your search for what you will hold to be true.
but I have my own issues with the war and the politics behind it. It is all well and good to be for or against, but if you aren't there, Mr.Politician, don't ask my son to go not once, but twice and then when he can't sleep or eat a full meal without choking, don't tell me there isn't anything wrong with him, it's all in his mind and he doesn't have post traumatic shock.

Answer 9

we all want peace, but there are leaders that won't cooperate and if all diplomatic actions are taken and still they won't cooperate we have the UN to decide for that, if they impose a threat globally i guess military actions are needed to stop this so called threat, there are pros and cons in war like now there is war in the middle east, that is the reason why oil prices shoot up
did the USA find Weapons of Mass Destruction? I hope the Super Power countries know what they are doing, their country is rich but there are MORE 3rd world countries to consider.

I have a question why are there terrorists?!
what is wrong with our system why they rebel?
do you think if they agree with the current leadership why would do such things? ;{

Answer 10

Just my opinion but I think most folks don't see Iraq as a threat anymore. It's probably a false since of security because it's not the military might of Iraq that needs to be feared but the terrorist. North Korea has a strong military power and poses nuclear weapons so we fear them.
