Which of these 3 wars is the most honorable that benefits people., and saves lives?

Question

Which of these 3 wars......actually did some good?? Which one of them actually help people?

1. Vietnam War
2. Iraq War
3. War on Poverty

I'd rather fight the war on poverty any day, than lose one American soldier fighting in another country.

Even if we lost only one American fighting in Iraq....it was one too many.

Shiraz you idiot, USAF 1991-1999. You are an idiot!

Hey, I don't support the war....but I do support our troops!

Answer 1

LBJ was really Disappointed with the Vietnam war. He wanted to fight the War on Poverty, but was sucked in to Vietnam.
Let's fight the war on Poverty!

Answer 2

War on Poverty.

The Vietnam War took up several years and yet only fills a half page in school history books, that shows our amount of progress.

The Iraq War is going the same way.

Answer 3

poverty is a mental disorder, much like liberalism. The war on poverty has caused more impoverished people, by giving out cash to people for not working.

We lost Americans IN THIS COUNTRY. Iraq was a state sponsor of terrorism. He openly paid cash to families of suicide bombers. Harbored the Abu Nidal organization and other terrorists, and had a facility at salman pak (south of Baghdad) used to train terrorists, the facility included a jet-liner (but no runway), used to train people in taking over airliners. We couldnt risk the chance of terrorists being given WMD from this state sponsor. Had this happened every lib would be demanding Why didnt Bush protect them? he saw the threat, and engaged the enemy.

The war in Iraq has produced dead americans. However, It has also produced dead terrorists. Its better to fight them in their backyards, than in ours. If you dont believe that the world is better off without saddam, then nothing I say here, nor any amount of medication can help you.

Answer 4

You are right but it is a futile effort to try and win the war on poverty, there is to much opposition to do anything that might be significant to challenge it. Bill Clinton did the most with his policy's, he caused the economy to boom therefore providing jobs which is really the way out of poverty. The present administration has set it back to at least the Reagan era with its policy of supply side economics's which has never worked and has always caused a recession. It would seem to me that it is common sense that if you lift an object (society as a whole) that you have to lift from the bottom, that moves everything. If you lift from the top it only moves the top.

Answer 5

I don't believe Veitnam or the Iraq Wars bring us honor at all. We have known the shame of My Lai and that acts of torture, abuse occur through our ignorance of the machinations of a corupt Administration.
The War On Poverty is a neglected and underfunded action and one that will always be with us. Funny how some of us will support the spending of billions of dollars a month on a war of lies, and not blink an eyelash. But know that we have malnourished, uninsured and hungry citizens right here in America. That our elderly have to make choices every day as to what they can afford, food, medicine or utilites. Thhat we have children who know nothing but growling stomachs and shivering cold all their lives and are likely to grow up and continue the cycle of poverty.
Early on in the Iraq war when we were bombing it to rubble, our Administration awarded a huge contract (to the usual suspects) to rebuild Iraq's infrastucture. Iread a letter from a little girl in Appalachia. I cannot vouch for it; but the plea was profound!

Dear Me. President Bush. My teacher gave me paper and a stamp so I can write to you.
I heard on the radio that when the Iraq war was over , you was going to build new schools, new houses and fix water pipes and pave roads and a whole bunch of stuff in Iraq, I go to the same school my gramma did and we still have outdoor toilets and our books fall apart. Sometimes we use brown paper bags to write on.
Our house is very old, Daddy patches the roof all the time, so it doesn't leak much. We have a pump in the house spring water, but it freezes in the winter. We sleep on the floor by the wood stove to keep warm , and it's cold to go outside to the out house.

Worst of all, it's going to bed at night with my little brother and sister and our bellys are growling because we are hungry.

Mr. President, would you please send some airplanes and bomb around here? Then you could send the people who are going to build new all new stuff in Iraq and fix things here. If you do, tell my daddy so he can take us away while the airplanes do it.
Please let me know, Thank you and I will pray for you tonight.

I did read a published letter with the same basic requests. We all know these thing are are true. Billions on war, nothing for poverty, food or health care. Hell, we even pay huge farming operations not to plant. We pay millions for storehouses and to store surpluses that we pay the farming industry for. But, we don't fund a real war on poverty. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it!

Answer 6

So what have you done for the war on poverty? that is a personal issue that we all as Americans can address.

I for one sponsor a child in Africa, and work at a homeless shelter in my spare time. I also am a big brother teaching kids to sail at the local ymca.............

You talk a lot but what do you actually do about it, you are a typical lib just like your answerman buddy I think. Do nothing low down shame of an excuse for wasted breath.

Answer 7

you're right
those wars are and were useless and of no benefit to anyone
on the other hand we do have a new kind of enemy
unlike pearl harbor we don't really have an identifiable enemy
so the war is a war on terrorism itself. the only thing Iraq is guilty of is harboring terrorists. but if you ask me its like trying to find a needle in a haystack. when we disband one group another will be ready somewhere else. we simply cannot control the whole world.
the problem really lies with big government suppling weapons to these people. i also think the answer is to just simply close our borders completely. sad but true
it's like ....do me wrong once... shame on you
do me wrong twice...shame on me

"Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war." - Richard Nixon

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed; those who are cold and are not clothed." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

Unfortunately, they may be stupid, but they are also crooked. President Bush is a member of that last group. He fraudulently became President by lying to the American voter ("a compassionate conservative", etc) that he was not one of those people .

Answer 9

War on Poverty

Answer 10

how do you fight a war on poverty? how do you fight to make people prosperous? do you think nothing is worth fighting for? what if our founding fathers felt the same way? do you think the people of Vietnam would be better of today if we had won that war? maybe they would be a free and prosperous nation now? hey maybe Vietnam and the war on poverty had something in common?
