What is your oppinion of the war in Iraq? and how can u fix it?

Question

MANY SAYS PEACE BUT NOT WAR
BUT MANY HAS NO IDEA ON HOW TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THESE TERRORISTS AROUND THE WORLD

Answer 1

In the early 80s I stated that World War III would be a Holy War and begin in the Middle East. Recently I updated this insight stating that the war would begin in stages, unlike for example, the bombing of Pearl Harbor that put the U.S. in the war. The recent Lebanon/Israeli conflict is one more of these stages that will eventually engulf the entire Middle East. The next conflict will be with Syria and then Iran. The time table of events has been running since 1948 and will continue for many more years. The main driving force is not oil rather it can be traced back to the creation of the state of Israel in ’48. As a result karma of a nation was created as the Palestine people became displaced and continue to be so. Since oil represents power and a way to exercise that power, oil is a part of the driving force but not the main one.

Answer 2

The first thing we need to do is distinguish between going over there in the first place, and continuing to stay now. 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, might 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 3

The USA is attempting to bring freedom to a people who do not want freedom. The Muslims want to live under Sharia law which is far from freedom. We are wasting our time at attempting to help establish a friendly government there. The people want an Islamic government and Islam is naturally opposed to the USA since we have a government based on the separation principle. Religion and government do not mix if you want a free society. The Muslims in Iraq are divided by 2 major sects. Sunni and Shiite. They are both competing for favor from the USA so their tribe will have the most power. However when it's time for the USA to pack up and leave we will be assured of one thing: Whichever tribe is in charge they will consider the USA as an enemy and will still have the ultimate goal of bringing us down.

As far as taking care of terrorists around the world is concerned we must continue to use intel gathering and strike our potential enemies first, before they have the ability to attack us. It will be a never ending war until one of 2 things happen:
1. The USA destroys all Muslim based governments world wide.

2. The USA is taken down by a world wide united Muslim
effort from within and without.

Answer 4

Which conflict are we conversing concerning to the only Now in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Israel or Africa or are you relating the only coming up in Iran? i'm going to assume you meant Iraq and maximum who're for it have been deceive and that's a tragedy. i'm against the WARS all of them with exception to Africa yet that one isn't doing what it would. inspite of the undeniable fact that the Iraq conflict grew to become into in accordance with misrepresentation from the white abode and that they have been responsive to the certainty. no longer the congress and senate yet George, Chaney and the conflict heads who positioned the bill till now the abode and clarify why it would be handed. We went there because of the fact of terrorist and there have been no terrorist in Iraq (different than Saddam) till we went there and that they got here besides. beforehand of that Iraq and 911 had no connection. you are able to think of it propaganda inspite of the undeniable fact that it truly is a hundred% genuine so if we had of long previous after the terrorist as we've been meant to then according to threat yet definitely they are in civil conflict and we now have not something to do with it. We had a civil conflict and worked issues by using and that i think they pick that comparable oppertunity. do no longer you? How might we've cherished it if some u . s . got here right here in the time of our civil conflict and Took facets? that's no longer honest no count the style you look at it. i might like the oppurtunity to proportion extra to hold you as much as hurry in this xxoo

Answer 5

The most practical answer would be to break the country into 3 separate countries. Kurds in the north Sunni's in the middle and Shia in the south. Each country would have some oil fields in it's area to provide wealth for each country. Then we get out ,the terrorist have nothing to fight and go some where else to fight Israel or Lebanon or Afghanistan then we can try to do this right.

Answer 6

Seems like we would have to eliminate all religions that tolerate only their own beliefs, and then take people from each country and mix them together, making them live amoungst each other.

I doubt people are willing to do that, so what would you do then, convert to their religion? Tell them they can't smoke hashish? Tell them not to cut down their trees after we already cut ours down? What choice are the leaders left with in an over-populated world that is being destroyed? Thin it out?

Answer 7

We have to get the people who are financing the insurgency.
