By having this war with Afghan and Iraq, the "hidden" enemy, has come out of the closet (so to speak) and

Question

now is in the public eye, so why are so many people angry at bush. Instead of brushing it under the carpet and putting things off by trying to ignore them they still aimed at the US, (whether you believe it was conspiracy or not), I dont get it, try to explain your opinion....all opinions welcomed....

Answer 1

It is better to have an enemy as a friend than having a friend as an enemy

Answer 2

I agree. But still many people are unable to see the hidden enemy, which resides in the White House.
Because we know that the Iraq war is totally illegitimate,, then we have to search for the real reasons, which we discover were oil, promoting terrorism, and protecting the dollar.
Having discovered that, our research has just started, and we move on to discover that the war in Afghhanistan had nothing to do with Arabian terrorists either, but was due to oil, an oil pipeline, and opium.
So now we research further, and discover that 9/11 was an inside job.
Now we are really beginning to get somewhere, and eventually we can only discover the agenda of the New World Order, to take over the world, dispose of more than half the inhabitants, and turn the rest into little more than slaves.
Suddenly our new enlightenment enables to understand everything that is happening in politics, and the whole mind becomes crystal clear, instead of foggy as it used to be when we read the newspapers, and listened intently to the political propaganda

Answer 3

An old saying comes to mind don't hit a hornets nest if you don't want to get stung. Well we're getting stung every day we're there . Soon we'll lose more people in this stupid and un necessary war in Iraq than was lost in the world trade center attacks. Anything the righties claim that is being accomplished by this war in Iraq could of easily have been done in Afghanistan only. Why open up two fronts? If we had stayed in Afghanistan only we would not see the urban combat we see in Iraq. Our forces could have concentrated on one country instead of spread across two. Now Iraq is nothing more than an advanced training and recruiting ground for new terrorist who are fighting us now because the arabs think we're just another bunch of imperialist come to rape there country of it's resources. After a hundred years of one western power after another raping there countries I believe they have a right to think that way. Our response to 9/11 by a bunch of criminals has now escalated into a massive clash of cultures. I doubt there will be any winners just casualties. Sometimes a little finesse can accomplish a lot more than john wayne style response to every country that doesn't do what we tell them to do.

Answer 4

People can find and report terrorist. An army can fight an Army or destroy a country, but only the people can find the terrorist.

Having spent over 20 years in the US Army, it is very clear that just because you have a big gun, it doesn't mean that you are the meanest guy on the field. A tank gunner has a very limited view and must rely on others to identify the target. This idea is also true of an Army trying to find a terrorist ... someone has to help them identify the target. A tank is a wonderful and powerful weapon, but can be easily defeated by a brave man throwing a coke bottle filled with gas. Our army has been sacrificed in Iraq to help get Bush elected. Our country is now at risk because of this folly.

Answer 5

I write from London, UK. The US, public and politicians got extremely angry, in my view rightly, over 9/11. In my view action in both Afghanistan and Iraq was the right decision and certainly action once taken has to be followed through if at all possible. People like clean decisive action and are disappointed when this is not possible. However if a picture could have been painted of a decadent, impotent America (and the West generally) after 9/11 the position now could have been far worse.

I don't know how Bush will be painted by history or indeed what the prevailing characterisation of him by American public opinion will be at forthcoming presidential elections but I guess it will be one that probably sets the US in the best position to pursue a set of policies for the future (which may or may not involve some renunciation of the past).

Answer 6

We have no problem with going after the terrorists in Afghanistan.

The problem is with Iraq. Al-Qaeda was not there until after we invaded under false pretenses and removed the person that was keeping them out of Iraq. No one is saying that Saddam was not a horrible person, but we do not have a right to just overthrow a government just because we do not like the government. Since the first war in Iraq (which was justified by the invasion of Kuwait) Iraq has not invaded another country, did not create WMD, and did not buy uranium for either electric power or bombs. Meanwhile the US has done all of these aforementioned things.

The wrongful invasion and occupation of Iraq is giving the radical fundamentalists a very useful tool to rally support for their cause and recruit new members. This only serves to increase the number of our enemies and unite them against us which in turn makes our nation in more danger of terrorist acts than we were before.

So to answer your question we are angry at Bush because he is just inflaming the situation by screwing around in Iraq instead of concentrating on the people that attacked us. If you check the troop deployment numbers you will find that we have approximately 20,000 people looking for the people that attacked us and approximately 140,000 people screwing around in Iraq making things worse.

If you do not like democracy, we will come to your country and bomb you until you realize that you have a choice in how your country is run.

Answer 7

I'm not too clear on who the "hidden enemy" is you refer to.

But reading some of the posts here I have to say I agree whole heartily with Battle Ax.

I don't want our kids armed and shooting up the place! But the sad truth is, if this war does come here, we'll only hear about it on the local news.. after the fact! Most of our kids will be lying on the sidewalks or in the malls dead and dieing. I'm praying the next president keeps these fanatics on their toes and over there!

Answer 8

Bush is not listening to independent and third party investigators (non-partisan), who have told him that by him invading Iraq, the world is not safer. This is because Iraq is now a breeding ground for forming and training terrorists.

Now what else do you need to know ?

Answer 9

And the hidden enemy you speak of is?

Answer 10

I'd rather kill them all in a land where the people who put these warlords in power in the first place than here in America.
