My teacher made an interesting reference. He said to think of U.S. and all the other countries as siblings. Of all of them, we are the youngest because we were only created basically less than 300 years ago because that's when Alaska joined. And when you have a little brother or sister, and they mess with you, what do you do, let them do it or yell at them or something like that. Ya know, punish them like siblings do. That's basically what the other countries are doing to us. They get mad that we are coming over trying to make it better for them, but only so we can take their oil. You don't see us over in Africa doing this to their countries because they don't have anything to offer us. So basically, we're the little brother, terrorists are the big brothers and they are punishing us for messing with them. Get it?

Think its bad, I think it was huge mistake. I don't think we had the evidence needed to go in and try to fix there problems or acuse them of having weapons that were never produced. I agree the people needed freedom from the dictater they had, but i don't think we needed to do this for them. The truth is they don't want the American people in there, they want us gone , so why not give them what they want? And see less of our young men killed.

The U.S. is not trying to take the country over. They are trying to help establish a government in Iraq that gives freedoms and a good living to the people who live there. I just wish the U.S. and its allies could leave the country but it would be overran quickly and our brave men and women who are fighting and dying would be disgraced and dishonored if we left too early.

After bush took out Sadam & his sons, he could have stopped.
What did the Iraqi people do to him? That's what I want to
know.
14 of the 15 terrorists where from Saudi Arabia - shouldn't he
be checking out his good friends from there?
It's to laugh or go crazy.

It has worked great, but taking down a dictator and liberating a nation isn't a bad idea

we arent trying to take over,we are trying to help them establish their own government by way of elections and using their own trades(aka-oil) so that they become able to run there own country. and not needing us anymore,except to buy their oil so that they support their own.
