If Iraq is slipping in to a civil war pit what Americans are doing there?

Answer 1

Bush made the mistake of invading a country that was allready divided in several ways by religious sectarian violence -
and removed Saddam Hussein.

Saddam was a bad man, but AT LEAST, his Baath party kept the country united through terror. By removing him, we have merely stirred the hornets nest and excited Islamic fundamentalism to heights it has never reached before.

Husseins, "crowd control" methods are no different than what you see played out every single day in South America and Africa.

In my opinion, we should have gone after Kim Jong Il instead because NK posed a far greater threat to America that Iraq, COULD EVER, or WOULD EVER have been able to.


The economic sanctions levied against Iraq by the 1st Bush and Clinton administrations crippled Saddam's ability to make war with America. W's trumphed up charges about Irai WMD was PURE LIES but the Neo Cons and half of America
(the uneducated Americans ignorant to the ways of the world) swallowed every bit of it.

Now we are entreched in a quagmire and there is no way out besides a withdrawl that will cost thousands more Iraqi's their lives, or political posturing which we allready know is nothing more than Neo-Conservative Republican propaganda.



WHAT ARE AMERICAN'S DOING IN IRAQ?

WE ARE DYING !

WE ARE WASTING TIME AND WASTING LIVES !

WHY?

Because Bush had no ENTRY strategy and then had no EXIT STRATEGY.
He rushed to make the case for war, rushed to war and then rushed to make decisions to stay.

What is so sad is that C student Bush ignored simple facts about the military.

The military is NEVER USED to police civilians (at least not in developed nations) because they aren't trained for that. That is why nations use POLICE forces - which are "para - military". Police are trained SPECIFICALLY to police the populations of civilians.

General Shinseki and Gen. Abazaid warned Bush constantly that we did not have enough troops to Invade Iraq. That is why we took over the country in less than 5 weeks with minimal casualties, yet are succumbing to the constant attacks by the "INSURGENTS".

"Insurgents" are the exact same thing as terrorists in this sense since they are willing to use indiscriminate violence to drive away occupants and make their political points.

But guess what, NEO-CONS in congress don't want the American people to see the truth so in the "red states" people are fed absolute bullsh!t which they are too uneducated to understand or dispute .
(if you think I'm lying, compare the H.S. graduation rates, and college grad rates to that of the Blue States).


Honestly, I'm writing this out of anger. Anger that America is being sold out to Asia and that Bush is wasting American lives and resources on a ridiculously concocted plan.
I don't care about the 10 points, but I want to win best answer just so the Neo-Cons will have to face the truth. I don't care what they say about me...I'm saying it like it is.



Ask that poster "Albannach" why America is so interested in stopping blood shed in Iraq, yet, it allows bloodshed caused by Islamic Arab terrorists to go unabated in Africa?
HE CAN'T ANSWER THAT ONE.

Saddam Hussein certainly didn't order the 100,000 plus deaths in Iraq - AMERICA STARTED THIS WAR WITH IRAQ.
IRAQ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11.
ALMOST ALL OF THE HIJACKERS ON 9/11 WERE SAUDI's.

WHY IS AMERICA CONCERED WITH IRAQ WHEN NORTH KOREA AND IRAN ARE TRYING TO BUILD NUCLEAR WEAPONS that will obviously be used against America?



What's wrong with these stupid NeoCons?

What is their alterior motive?

Why are some Americans so stupid they believe absolute uncut, pure bullsh!t?

Answer 2

Unfortunately, our guys and gals are getting in the way of some of the bullets. Just as in the Balkans, the fall of a tyrant has been taken advantage of by charismatics and those with ethnic grudges and Iraq (with our troops in the middle) is on the verge of a holocaust.

Perhaps there was a reason Big Daddy Bush (a former CIA director) and his group decided NOT to get rid of Sadaam in the 1990's. Because he kept the long-held ethnic and religious tensions under wraps. He did it by being a total despot and bastard, but there was no open warfare among the Iraqi people. The disgusting truth is that sometimes having a complete bastard in power is better than the alternative. Horrible, but perhaps true in this case.

Answer 3

Because if the U.S. military wasn't there the Tigris and Euphrates rivers would be overflowing with blood.

What I'm trying to say: The U.S. Military is about all that is preventing a genocidal civil war in Iraq. If we left the country would probably descend in to utter chaos and anarchy.

Answer 4

It's not a civil war, Terrorists [religious extremists on all sides] are attempting to wrest control of the gov't from the people. Nobody wants to say it, but the truth is, Islam is dangerous. Far from being peaceful, it demands the total destruction of 'infidels', defined as 'anyone who doesn't believe as 'we' do.
Such an ideology cannot be allowed to persist. Islam must either adapt to the 21st Century, or be eliminated.

You invade an Iraq before they become the threat that common day North Korea and Iran is.
