what r your views on the war in iraq?

Answer 1

The war in Iraq is something that God allowed our government to do. Therefore, I am not second guessing Him. Throughout history He did what was best for the nation, even if it was to place a sinful nation in captivity so they would wake up and know He is God. I do pray for all concerned and leave the rest up to Him. Whatever happens, to God be the Glory.

Answer 2

It allows the masses to see what twisted logic is used by so many others, as evidenced in these postings. Even when it is a question posted in the wrong space (topic) The unseeing logic seems to be a bottomless pit for too many. Not unknown to reveal their total lack of basic knowledge of, what is and has been taking place for many years.. Not restricted to just the past 3 years...( try more than 25 years). Just try being honest with yourself and others. May prove to be a large but proper change.

I still wonder how so many can overlook the fact, the Clinton admin.. and their cohorts in congress.. were crying for the same thing Bush accomplished... They just never had the courage to stand by their convictions. Kerry, Kennedy,, were two of the most vigorous, concerning Iraq and getting rid of Saddam.. How selective memory is!!!!! Revealing that the outcry really isn't about the war in Iraq but, a drive to diminish the effectiveness of Bush.. The losers still can't accept the fact their hero was found guilty of tryiing to accomplish something amoral, illegal as well as unconstitutional.. and this in a liberal court with 7 agreeing.

This war has been ongoing for years.. if you think it is breeding more terrorists, you need to read what the head jihadist has to say about the situation... don't just pass it by.. you all sound like you have paid no attention to what he has said. But that is what happens to closed minds and unseeing eyes.

Answer 3

I think it is not the place of any government to invade a soverign nation and seek a change of government unless a real threat exists. This war does not meet that criteria. The main problem is religion. Both the USA and Iraq are ruled by a religious populous and government that have a very different belief of god, creation, and human rights. Neither side is right. They are simply too numerous worldwide to stop. When and if we get out of this mess, we will start another war somewhere else.

Answer 4

The war in Iraq was initiated to satisfy the personal agenda of the in the Bush administration, who are working both for themselves and The New World Order.

Answer 5

It's a nightmare that has proven the PNAC/neoconservative policies horribly problematic by increasing terrorism in the region and the world and by diluting our resources. The neoconservative PNAC plan ('actively create democracies to stabilize Middle East') was implemented in Iraq by leveraging 9/11 & WMDs as the red herrings. It was implemented by a small group of people, ignoring input from others. It was misplanned and misguided w/ an isolationist approach (disregard allies/international support), lack of understanding of the dynamics of the region (theocratic mindsets there) and how democracy flourishes over time. Result is war on terror and efforts in Afghanistan are severely compromised (diluted resources, post-9/11 international support and unity with U.S. fractured, more extremism in the region is the result). Bush has changed his isolationist policy and shows other signs that he realizes his implementation of the PNAC plan completely backfired and has given us a more volatile world. Best thing to have done: forget the PNAC plan, concentrate on Afghanistan and the war on terror.
Final note: some now are arguing that we just wanted a strategic presence in the region and didn't have the direct goal of creating a democracy (and they appeal to an argument that makes our leaders and planners well-organized but necessarily secretive for our best interest). This doesn't sync with the facts (read the PNAC plan) and is yet another attempt to try and salvage an administration that has simply made major mistakes. Note also that a democracy had to be part of the plan given that our 'strategic presence' in Saudi Arabia (islam country) was one of the reasons cited for bin laden's 9/11.

Answer 6

The terrorists need a sanctuary regime to recruit, plan,train,mobilise,finance and review their acts of evil.That safehaven was the Taliban regime in Afaghanstan.The war there didnt eliminate all of them and many ran to Iraq whose regime at the time was on a collision path with the world(United Nations).The evidence that these are the same enemies who attacked America is clear when you look at their combat methods of suicide bombing.To reduce or eliminate risk of another attack on America,i believe the terrorists cant be ignored or given to think that they can again be free to plan and execute their evil.They need to be fought where they are like in Iraq now and regimes which share our determination to fight them need to be supported until they create their own capacity to carry on the necessary vigilance after we have left.The 9\11 attack showed that even if u dont attack them, they attack you.Not taking actoin after the World Trade center and the East Africa Embassies attack did not deter these people from planning and executing the 9\11 attack.Therefore the Iraq war is justified to disorganise and eliminate these evil faceless enemies.No doubt it is costly like all wars but it was forced on the world and the well meaning citezens of the world must fight tooth and nail to win it.Unfortunately America must lead this campaign because like one of the most previledged resident in a township facing an attack,it risks so much if the terrorists are left to have their way.

Answer 7

We have no business in Iraq at all. Afghanistan yes, but not in Iraq. I know Saddam and his kids were real morons but that's what the people wanted it seems. That's the way they have lived for thousands of years. Who are we to say they should do things our way? Bush went there for the Bush family oil rights and the fact that Daddy Bush was insulted by Saddam during his reign. Thousands dead because of oil and to get even. What are your views on Iraq?

Answer 8

It was started on lies. It deposed a tyrant. (The one good thing) It destroyed a nation and culture, and probably sent them into a long, drawn-out civil war (if you can call it that), and it cost millions of lives, and made it clear that the US is the bad guy now.

Does Iraq fall under the Monroe Doctrine? We've got to get off the oil!

Answer 9

It was a mistake going in - a complete waste of time. However, we can't pull out overnight either, since we'd leave the country to the wolves. Considering the US made the mess, we need to devise a sound exit plan. We need to try and stabilize the country so that it doesn't implode the minute we leave.
-
Although, with that said, we should be working now to gradually reduce our involvement in Iraq.

Answer 10

"war" try "occupation"! you are so sweet!
It's insane.
Do you think killing the unarmed and destroying a country would help the USA stop terrorism or the USA just became the leader of the terrorists?!
I believe that terrorism has no religion.
I'm against the government not the poor civilians.

Answer 11

This question is right where it belongs. Under religion, we have know business being there. Let are men and women come back home. This war is about a lot of things, mostly about religion and land. Why are we there?
