Answer 1

The death toll in Iraq is over 2000 people per month.

Iraq has been in a civil war for years, regardless of whether it was officially called that or not. And the sectarian violence goes back decades. It's nothing new. And the US presence there has obviously not stopped it, and arguably has made it worse, as anyone who bothers to look at the facts can see.

The US won't leave Iraq because we have an irrational psychotic in office who cannot admit he is wrong, and cannot change his mind based on current reality. He even refuses to accept the assessments of his own Pentagon when they disagree with the dain-bramaged conclusions he's arbitrarily formed.

And that's going to continue as long as we, the American people, continue to make excuses and continue to ignore war crimes.

Answer 2

The truth is simple, those who are unwilling to accept the democratically elected government.

You are correct about Vietnam, we could have won easily had it not been for the pacifist movement supported by the press and a weak willed congress. It appears from those points this is another vietnam, but all other coorelations to that are off the table.

Iraq has elected a government. Their military was in disarray and we are now in the position to help them establish control or we can cut and run and watch millions of innocent people be slaughtered by ISLAMOFASCISM.

What would you like, millions slaughtered, or help their democratically elected government get control of the terrorists?

Answer 3

The current Iraqi civilian death toll is at 130,290 (PBS's The McClaughlin Group)

Bush is responsible. It is that simple. He is the one that unilaterally occupied Iraq for no reason whatsoever. Now the country is turned upside down and in the middle of a civil war...

If I go over to my neighbor's and turn it upside down and hang around a week until everybody is fighting and maybe act so bad that all the other neighbors are coming over disrupting them too, who's fault is that? It would be mine because I started it and I disrupted their lives.

Answer 4

We created Iraq along with a few other world powers after World War one. Iraq is a country with political boundaries because Britain France America China Germany and others made it like that so that we could say we were going in and doing business with a country, instead of saying we are going and taking things that don't belong to us from an area that has no true government or bureaucracy. We are colonizing them now because we realize that being a business man from afar won't work anymore. We hired Saddam to oversee it for us, but that didn't work so as soon as we had him off payroll we went in and charged him essentially with carrying out our orders. And brought him back to the states to be tried in a one sided bogus trial where his employers were judge jury and executioner all in one

Answer 5

1) We set up the environment for the civil war conditions based on a faulty preconceived notion that all Iraqis wanted democracy. 2) We didn't plan properly to control the conditions on the ground in Iraq until the transition occurred.

Some Iraqis want democracy but many don't so you have the civil war created by the condition that each side is passionately fighting for what they want.

Answer 6

Hmm...it is great to look at the mistakes of someone and using hindsight redicule them.

How about...blaming the extremists who are killing eachother, as well as the multinational force in Iraq?

Vietnam wasn't a mistake, sure if you read all the propaganda it was, but the people that I know that fought there believed 100% in what they were doing was good for the US and the rest of the world.

The spread of that type of communism isn't good for anyone.

Answer 7

The people who commit these horrible acts are rightly given the majority of the blame. 51% of the blame, at least, belongs to the guy who actually pulls the trigger.

Answer 8

Mr. Arbusto...(bush) is the one responsible for all those deaths...US and Iraqis...I guess the Bush administration needs to go back to square one, re-consider their Iraqi policy....and leave....It seems that the use of force has not had a positive outcome... just DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES...for both parties.....

Answer 9

The fundamentalist islamofascists are responsible. There are some Saddamists involved, but the vast majority are simple terrorists.

Answer 10

Our brave forces are the bulls-eye in a civil war created by the illegitimate invasion and incompetent occupation of a nation that was never a threat to our own.
