cause there is no other reason for the war, r u going to say peace?where is it? we cant see it..nobody can.all we see is death more more and more IN IRAQ

THIS IS THE FACT

Answer 1

A terrible mistake from the very beginning.

Answer 2

I that while it was a good idea to goto war with Iraq, I think we did so for the wrong reasons. See, Saddam was a bad influence in Iraq, but he knew we were comming. We should have gone in without announcing it all over the world. I would let a loved one go, for I know they'd be serving and protecting our country. I firmly believe that we should have been out by now. It's time to get out, and we need to be out.

Answer 3

very mixed feelings. Having two children in the military especially. My daughter just arrived home from Iraq and what she saw and knows are so different from what the media reports. She made so many Iraqi friends, they begged her not to leave them because they wanted the Americans there. They were afraid what will happen to their country. One gentleman had one son killed and one brain injured and he himself lost a leg due to Saddam's evil reign. And make no mistake, though it was my daughter she earned combat medals and had a friend killed right in front of her.
That being said, I'm not sure why we went there. Yes the country was evil but we cannot save every country that has this kind of evil going on and there are many. Study up on some African countries and the horrors people are facing there. Why aren't we concerned with that? Sigh..................I want our men and women home. Too many have died and I'm not sure what for. Yes, they are all brave and living up to their military oaths but it just seems so senseless to me. I truly believe Bush just had a score to settle and how dare he do this at the costs of American lives.

Answer 4

I think it is stupid we are there because why? I just want the president to say in his own words plain and clear without pausing every second why we are there and maybe if I knew why I might agree but right now I dont think we should be there.

Answer 5

Two wars in one: A Holy War and an oil war.

Answer 6

Completely unjust. We have no business over there. Had nothing to do with 9/11. Bush is a liar. I use to like him. If he had gone after bin with that much zeal we would have gotten the bastard.

Answer 7

Senseless. You can't win a war on terror, nor can you start a scapegoat war against another nation.

Answer 8

i hate to see the deaths on both sides of the war but we do not control the minds of the other opposing sides. we can say yeah stop no more but that would not mean that they would do the same thing. war is unfair to both sides and I pity the innocent dead.

Answer 9

Want facts:
Did you know that 47 countries have reestablished their embassies in Iraq?
Did you know that the Iraqi government currently employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?
Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are under rehabilitation, 263 schools are now under construction and 38 new schools have been built in Iraq?
Did you know that Iraq's higher educational structure consists of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers, all currently operating?
Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in January 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program?
Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is operational? They have 5- 100-foot patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry regiment.
Did you know that Iraq's Air Force consists of three operational squadrons, which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft (under Iraqi operational control) which operate day and night, and will soon
add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 Bell Jet Rangers?
Did you know that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando Battalion?
Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000 fully trained and equipped police officers?
Did you know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq that produce over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks?
Did you know there are more than 1100 building projects going on in Iraq? They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals, 83 railroad stations, 22 oil facilities, 93 water facilities and 69 electrical facilities.
Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5 have received the first 2 series of polio vaccinations?
Did you know that 4.3 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary school by mid October?
Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq and phone use has gone up 158%?
Did you know that Iraq has an independent media that consists of 75 radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations?
Did you know that the Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of 2004?
Did you know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a televised debate recently?
OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW! and WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW? OUR MEDIA WOULDN'T TELL US!
Instead of reflecting our love for our country, we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades.
The lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves two purposes. It is intended to undermine the world's perception of the United States thus minimizing consequent support, and it is intended to discourage American citizens.
Above facts are verifiable on the Department of Defense web site

IRAQ POLL:
Kurds Grateful for U.S. Support

A delegation of Iraqi Kurdish officials is currently traveling through the United States right now. The mission is to build upon the great friendship between the Kurdish people and the United States of America.

Most specifically, the people of Iraqi Kurdistan wish to invite American businesses to come and help invest in the rebuilding of Kurdistan. It's a win for the people of Iraqi Kurdistan to have help in building a brighter future, and it's a win for American businesses seeking promising new opportunities.

We have launched an advertising campaign called "The Other Iraq" because there is a story to be told about Iraqi Kurdistan that most Americans have not heard. We hope you've taken a moment to watch not just our television ads - but the documentaries that tell the full story at http://www.TheOtherIraq.com



In fact, a poll taken earlier this year provided results that will likely surprise you. We hope you will review these results, and share them with others. And if possible, we'd like to hear from you about your feedback on our public relations campaign for "The Other Iraq" in the U.S.

If you, or someone you know of, can help play a role in the rebuilding of our region's future, or wish to learn more information on investment or business opportunities, please email us at [e-mail]
