do you think we should pull out of iraq and why?

Answer 1

No. Pulling out will show the terrorists that we won't follow thu.

You think the world trade center is bad? You think they won't do something to make that look like a baby could do it?

What was the plot they just thwarted? blowing up 10 airliners that were coming over?

Answer 2

No to pullout of Iraq now would just give the impression that we are weak and don't have the resolve to finish the job and that we don't stand up and fulfil our commitments. It would send the message that America is a paper tiger, a toothless lion and make us vulnerable to attacks all around the world because we don't have the will of courage or strength to do what has to be done. And Iraq is doung just what Bush said it would it is acting as a magnet to radical Islamic terrorists that want to attack us. Let them attack our military over there instead of our civilians over here. They can't beat our military so they use propaganda and leftist liberals to undermine the will of the people in America to finish the job. Don't liberals remeber what happened in Vietnam when they began huge protests then, it only served to make the north more determinrd and it gave them a reason to go to the peace talks in Paris and sign the peace agreement then when the Us pulled out they over ran the south because democrats refused to help. We have been paying for that mistake ever since. And we have to rectify that here and now or your children and grandchildren will pay the price later when you are gone. Not all things that need to be done are easy or pleasant but it doesn't mean you quit.

Answer 3

Yes. Because it's counter productive to remain.

Some people argue that we never should have gone over in the first place. But let's get past the first place.

We went over there. Can't change that now. We deposed Saddam. Few argue that was a bad thing. We toppled the old government. Done. The question is, what are we still doing there years after "Mission Accomplished".

The loudest (but weakest) argument is that "we're fighting terrorists over there, so we don't have to fight them over here." First, there isn't a lot of proof (either way) that what we're doing has any significant impact on what terrorists outside Iraq are doing. Or for that matter, on what terrorists inside Iraq are doing.

It's sheer speculation (might be true, probably not) that the insurgents fighting against US forces in Iraq would suddenly start attacking US cities if the US left. More likely, they'd continue their own civil war without interference from us. And those terrorists who are planning on hitting the US or Europe probably aren't spending their days planting IEDs along Iraqi highways. They're already overseas planning their attacks.

So, it's highly debatable whether our presence in Iraq is having any effect toward stopping other terrorist attacks outside Iraq.

The other arguments all center around nation-building, helping Iraq establish a new government, bring democracy to the region etc. But even if those might be valid goals (and that too is debatable), the methods we're using are hideously inefficient, and apparently ineffective.

Let's look at it from a cost-benefit perspective. How much money (tens of millions) and how many lives (dozens) did it cost for the US to invade Iraq and topple Saddam's government . How much money (tens of billions) and how many lives (thousands) has it cost for the US to remain in Iraq and try to force them to set up a new government. Which, by the way, is nowhere close to being ready to take over their country.

What we should have done is pull out after "Mission Accomplished" and allow Iraq to set up whatever government it wanted. If we didn't like the results, we go in, topple it, and tell them to try again. We could have done that 10 times and still spent only 1% of the money and lost 1% of the lives that we have so far under the current plan.

So, regardless of the goals, the means we're using to accomplish them are highly wasteful of both resources and American lives. And from any perspective, stupid means are not a good way to achieve any goals.

Answer 4

NOOOO. The situation over there is under control. The liberal media is trying to blow it out of proportion. Yes people are dieing, but things over here are causeing more deaths a year(i.e. drunk driving) than the lives lost in Iraq since the war started 3 years ago. If we pulled out now we would loose everything we have worked for these last years and that would make the loss of life worthless. If we stay in we will have a foothold in the most war torn area in world were we can stage more campaigns against terror.

Answer 5

Cut and run? No. The Iraqi people are coming along and learning how to govern themselves. You have to understand that they need to be taught how to work together. Most people under the age of 40 have never had the freedom to govern themselves.
We only have to look at Kuwait to see the amount of progress that can be made. It isn't perfect, but much better than it was. These things take time.
Iraq is moving forward. The military is making progress. Time will show that staying is the right move. It would be disasterous to leave now.

Answer 6

Everyone wants out. But it's too early to get out yet.
If we lose in Iraq, Europe will end up in the hands of Muslim radicals. Only a matter of time.
Don't be fooled by the cut & run democrats, they are still funding Iraq.
Hillary is still supporting Bush completely. She's standing by her man and Bush is her man.

Answer 7

NO!!! The job is not done yet as long as Iran and Syria
keeps sending terrorists into Iraq.

Answer 8

Yes, at some point we need to ask ourselves when is enough, enough? Terrorism has increased 300% world wide since Bush invaded Iraq, so why are we still there? One of the more startling things Bush has said in recent months was his comment about how a future President will have to deal with this decision! That blew me away, but it also showed just what a moron Bush really is. He acts like a spoiled child, which of course is what he is.

Answer 9

i think we should pull all government agencies back to the us and issue a warning that is one person from any other country messes with us we will obliterate them and a warning to Americans if they travel outside the us then they are liable for there actions and once they leave our borders there is nothing we can do for them

Answer 10

Absolutely not. We already entered, and we can't back out now like most Democrats want to do. They are scared and can't handle this so they just give up right away. We need to show terrorists that America is strong and that we won't back down. If we retreat from them, they will come after us in America. I love our soldiers to death and pray for them and their families every night. If england and the US hadn't stood up to Hitler during WW11, then all Jews could be wiped out of population today. That's what we must do to terrorists, stand up against them and show how brave America is and willing to fight (with the exception of cowardly democrats).
