Why is the Democratic party willing to sabotage the effort to bring a lasting democracy to Iraq?

Question

Ohio artist is right. If I had half a brain I would agree with him, not to mention vote democrat. But the Good Lord has seen fit to grace me with a full brain and so I can't agree with him. Libs attack cons for not confronting every threat, forgetting that many a war has been lost by insisting on winning the wrong battle. Iraq was contained under Clinton, but after 911 it became necessary to establish new regimes and a military presence on both flanks of Iran for the end game of the war on terror now being set up with Tehran. Attacking China would be suicide. Better to wait for them to collapse as the soviets did. N. Korea will be contained by a nuclear Japan and Taiwan. Cuba will be dealt with in a proxy war against Chavez next decade. Our clearest, present danger is Jihadism, something half-wits like Ohio artist can not comprehend and therefore defend efforts to stifle the rise of Western values in a corner of the world that needs it most.

Answer 1

Because if we pull out, they can blame Bush for not staying to finish the job. If we stay, they complain; if we leave, they will complain just as loudly. The easiest job in the world is to make a living criticizing someone else...

Answer 2

Iraq is another Vietnam. Under the Clinton administration we had Sadam contained and everything was fine. No it wasn't a democracy but it was contained and controlled. It wasn't until your president Bush lied to and deceived the American public and then attacked Iraq that all hell broke out. Some how polls say that 50% of Americans still think that Iraq was behind 911, despite daily reports for 5 years proving otherwise. We did not attack China, Korea or Cuba because they are not a democracy, we attacked Iraq because the first Bush failed and this Bush was determined to out Sadam. If Cuba had oil they'd be attacked. Our attacking Iraq has caused pure mayhem that this administration has no ability to control. I support our soldiers with all my heart but how many must keep dying in the name of Bush's war? Now Bush is all over TV saying he's fighting terrorism; we invaded a country and didn't protect it's borders throwing out a welcome mat for all the lunatics to come in and attack us, which they couldn't do if we weren't there. It's not that we Democrats are willing to sabotage the effort to bring democracy to Iraq, it's that we are just not plain stupid willing to accept the lies, broken laws and deceits of our incompetant leader, who damn near led us into ww3 over his cooked up b.s. Obviously in your case it's the blind leading the blind.

Answer 3

The effort to bring democracy to Iraq was already sabotaged when the US administration looked the other way in their new Constitution when Sharia Law was made the top law of the land.

Answer 4

Simple, if Iraq is a failure then George Bush is a failure and that would increase the likelihood that the Democrats will return to power in the House, Senate or even the Presidency, which they view as their god-given right to possess.

Answer 5

Iraqies don't know what democracy means, the only way to save Iraq is to put sadam back in power

Answer 6

It isn't every Democrat, only those who are terrified that a strong, wealthy, well-organized group of anti-war, anti-Christian, anti-decency left-wing socialists will destroy them. Those fearful Democrats would rather yield to these socialists' demands and threats than to lose that position of power and fame in our government.

Answer 7

If the neocon republicans really love the democracy in Iraq, why aren't they moving there? Instead they send our sons to die there.

Answer 8

Maybe they're more concerned with our OWN country and its problems than "fixing" another one.

Answer 9

Ask the Iraqi's if they want the US there now. They don't - they want us OUT.
