Seems like we are trying to help people who don't want our help. How many more lives need to be lost, and resources wasted to help a government that is not willing to help itself?

Yes!
What it seems like according to the news and what it realyl is are soemtimes two different things. Remember the elections and the purple fingers and all that? 70% of Iraqis voted when they KNEW they might get killed either during the voting process or after, then they showed their purple fingers proudly. Hell we can barely get 50% to vote here. If 70% of their population voted, then obviously 70% want some form of democracy.

My bad the CNN article puts it at 72%, even better.
The government in Iran doesnt want to help itself?? Thats the only thing they do, help themselves. They dont give a crap about the people they govern. This is why the need to be changed. Yes the process will be long and hard. Yes thousands may die. 200-odd years ago we did the same thing. It took over 10 years to write our OWN constitution, thousands died in the process, but look where we are now. Shouldnt other people have the same chance?
btw We also had to have help when we formed our government. The French helped us immensely, so sad what they have become.

No they don't . When we became a democracy , we had to do it all ourselves . We did the fighting and wrote our own Constitution and Bill of Rights . If you want something bad you'll find a way to get it , don't you think . If someone else does it for you , you don't appreciate it as much . The Iraq people should have struggle for the government they want , then they might have learn to work together .
The tragedy of this whole war is , we sent our soldiers to Iraq thinking they were fighting for our freedom from the terrorist when all they were fighting for was Bush's idea of Democracy for the Iraq people and we don't even know when he and Cheney thought that excuse up ( some time after 9/11 ) .
It's been 5 yrs ( longer then WWII ) when our freedom was really at stake .
We have not accomplished much for the Iraq people that they couldn't have done themselves , except to lose the lives of your young men and women , millions of dollars, the time we could have spent making our country safer and really fighting the terrorist . How good are we fighting them , when they have moved in with us in Iraq .
We should be mad as hell and we shouldn't take it any more !!!!!!!!!!

We gave tons of support and funds to New Orleans, but at least half went to people stealing from those funds. Iraq is a similar situation where our efforts are being stolen by a few at the expense of many. Halliburton is a good example.
We all care about people who are not free and impoverished, but we cannot change the world. We have many impoverished and uneducated people here in our country. We should be working to help our family of people first.
Iraq is about getting Bush elected and insuring the oil supply which puts money in the pockets of the oil people. Rich Republicans should never be in office again. We are all slaves and they are the slave owners. There should be a people's party that puts the interest of our country and our people first.

Actually, the majority of Iraqis do want our help. Even the Sunnis want the US to stay. The huge voter turn out speak to that as well. The majority of the Shia want the US to stay as well, after years of being starved and murdered by Saddam. The Kurds have always been a US ally. There's a problem with sectarian violence in the Sunni triangle along with insurgents trying to cause a civil war. This is not the whole country; although it's all that is reported on.

I could not care less and I don't think anyone cared about Iraq until the Bush Admin told you to. I did not care about Saddam and what he did back in the 80's. I don't care. This war is not for any of the reasons they gave us and that is because if they told us the truth about why they wanted to go to Iraq we would have told them to shove it up their A*SS. Wake up people you are following a corrupt group of people that can not be trusted to lead our country to victory, because their idea of victory is not to win the war but to make the money from the war.

Bush doesnt really want a democracy, he supports Saudi Arabia, which is a Monarchy, and anybody that will do his bidding, democracy is not on his adgenda

Why force feed people. Let them control there own destiny. England tried to force feed America, lets learn from our own history.
