We shouldn't have started the war because Iraq had nothing to do with the 911 terrorists and had no wmds and was not a threat to the U.S. security. Likewise, starting a war (as we can now see) creates regional instability that can easily spread, thus small wars become big wars.
That said, now that we are engaged, we can't pull out. If we pull out too soon, mark my words, Iraq will fall into civil war, genocidal purges, terror, and finally will be taken over by a terroristic totalitarian radical fundamentalist islamic regime bent on pushing a sick and twisted misinterpretation of Islam and Islamic law, and then the Iraqi people will be thoroughly screwed. This might happen anyway, and in fact probably will, but right now, U.S. forces are the only chance they've got to dodge this insane political bullet.

elw is naive - there were no terrorists threatening the West in Iraq before the invasion. There was a big job to do in Afghanistan which remains incomplete because of this diversion, manufactured by Bush, and the Arab world is now more likely to believe bin Laden that the West is at war with Muslims than it was before. The terrorists who attacked America came predominantly from Saudi Arabia - what are we doing to clean out the mess there? Nothing, and Iran and N Korea have been free to develop real (as opposed to fictional) WMDs because they know America is hamstrung in Iraq.

No. We supposedly went to Iraq for WMD's, then to remove Saddam and now people are trying to spin it as "fighting the terrorists there instead of here". It's a load of crap. We never should have invaded Iraq, it had nothing to do with 9/11 and the military resources would've been much better served in Afghanistan. Invading Iraq in my mind has made matters much worse. The Taliban is rearing it's ugly head again in Afghanistan, why are we still in Iraq??? This administration is trying to legitimize the invasion of Iraq by using fear but I for one don't buy it.

I don't protest the war, but I don't support it either. It's my opinion that the majority of the public is uninformed of the situation, or misinformed. The only way to really know is to either be a member of the federal government, or to be in Iraq. Otherwise, we have no clue.
So, I give the military (and the Iraqi people!) the benefit of the doubt, and have faith that they will do what they're supposed to.
Other than that, I have no opinion.

i dont agree with the war because it was NOT a priority. but i think if we leave iraq now, the terrorists that have entered that country will gain control over the currently not so strong iraqi government and become another Lebanon...

only in the view of an american. its only for americans and some few other countries benefits not the world-iraq's power in oil. america always says its for democracy. they already caught saddam. where now is the democracy of iraqi's they are talking about. there are still killings. they have all have families dying and in fear. everybody who's been a casualty is learning to take revenge against america. then americans call them terrorists. america in a way created terrorist. a thief is afraid of a thief, and only a terrorist is afraid of their kind.

I am againts the concept of war. how can you agree with war. War doesnt agree with anyone, Not the locals who are caught in the middle of, not the poor mindless fools who join the army......theres nothing to agree with it. War agrees with no one involved. The only people that can agree with it are people that are far far away from it and cant even commence to comprehend what it entails. Stupid question.

Yes. The war in Iraq is the right thing to do. It is better to take on the terrorists overseas than here in the U.S.

You call it a war??? It was nothing but a cold-blooded invasion.
What happened to all the "Biochemical & Nuke Warheads" that were supposed to be there?Maybe the cunning Saddam gave it to the Maldives! Okay guys lets attack the Maldives!!
Saddam had to be dethroned but it shouldn't have happened in this way.And what happened to the terrorists, by the way?
Wouldn't have more Iraqis joined terrorist cells after their nation has been conquered so cruelly?
Wouldn't they be more determined to attack America than ever before?
