Does anyone know why we are still in Iraq? We deposed Sadam and built them a government and an army..now what?

Question

I want to hear a serious conversation here...

What is the point of staying longer in Iraq? I would feel safer with OUR troops back home in OUR country, personally...

also, I had always wondered what the terrorists were fighting for but then I found out that organizations like Al-Qaida and others want to establish a caliphate (which is like an extremist religious dictatorship... I guess) on earth... so seriously, why can't we just give them some desert patch of holy land and let them kill each other for masturbating and whatnot and just leave them alone to rule themselves? It's what we do with the chinese... right?

I understand that probably isn't entirely realistic but is expecting a hotbed of enemy muslim sects and people sworn to each others total annihilation to just forget it all and form a democracy or a republic any better?

Answer 1

It is not the idea of caliphate that is leading us to the mess we are in in Iraq, in Afghanistan and seemingly soon standing against a very defiant Iran. It is the Bush Doctrine that is getting us into troubles everywhere, with our assumed responsibility of a club master trying to tame every one and everybody, who do not let us become the masters of what we 'can' survey. Instead of bringing peace this philosophy (if we may call it philosophy) of humbling everything to control over the world resources, the misadventure of the present - as that of Vietnam previously - had made us and the rest of the whole world more unsafe. This is perhaps also to bring business for our military-hardware manufacturers, whose supplies devastate otherwise peaceful and perfectly running countries on the one hand and pamper our contracting firms to take billions to reconstruct, which we had earlier destroyed. Nothing with change the devastating scenario unless sane leadership comes to the helm. The Alqaidas and Talibans will die of their own wrongs, and cannot be any threat to the US.

Answer 2

we were put in iraq as a diversion to 9-11. watch the video "loose change" and it will explain a lot. the war on terrorism was only started because of 9-11 and 9-11 seems to only be a hoax within itself. so what ARE we fighting for?

if we give up now, not only does the U.S. look like *******, but we look stupid too. they can't just pull out half way through the damn thing otherwise the gig is up. so we'll keep fighting and losing soldiers until whatever the government needs accomplished is just that. until the fury of 9-11 has passed (it never will) or until osama bin laden is captured (he never will) or until a new president is voted into office (that will happen but that is still no guarantee). black-male is a very powerful thing.

Answer 3

Somehow we are trying to establish democracy in the middle east. I think that there are other issues though.
We want a presence close to Iran and the nuclear threat.
We also want to be closer to N Korea and that situation
We are trying to stabilize the area to prevent future wars with Israel.
So it is not just Saddam and his regime, but a lot of other issues.

I don't think they will ever have peace there, but I do think that NATO will eventually take it over, and we are a part of NATO..
The world is just too small for nuclear war these days..

Answer 4

Now we whip some McDonald's on every corner. 401 Jeans on every rack. We wire them up with Roadrunner and Time-Warner Cable. We build a few airbases. We whip some MTV on them. We have to do something with all those Paris Hiton CDs that won't sell in this country, so we export them. Put lots of trinkets into stores that say Made in China on the bottom.

What ELSE does America do in the world!

Oh, Disneyland Middle East!

Answer 5

USA will remain in Iraq as long as there's billions of dollars to be made from war profiteering. no bid contracts with no accountability has been a marvelous windfall for the neoCONs and their attendant cronies so they'll "stay the course" in Iraq and start up new wars when feasible in order to keep the money flowing from the tax payers tattered pockets into their well lined ones. when the war is a never ending one because it's a war on idealogy and tactics the no bid contracts given to family, friends and corporate allies (no accountability required) can go on and on indefinitely. clever. huh?

Answer 6

George Bush uses the excuse that "we're at WAR, I'm the commander-in-chief, I get to do what I want, cuz did I mention we're at WARRRRR!!!!".

He has declared that we will stay in Iraq for as long as he's in office.

Thus, he can continue ignoring laws and Constitutional restrictions on his power for his entire term in office.

Cuz being the Preznit is a lot more fun when you don't have to follow the rules.

Answer 7

Canada and Australia don't have the British monarch as their Head of State. Canada has the Queen of Canada, and Australia has the Queen of Australia. same guy or woman, yet, the Crowns are legally completely different from one yet another. And, no, there is not any legal thank you to depose a monarch. It replaced into finished, of direction, interior the Civil conflict, yet, Charles I maintained they had no legal appropriate to do what they have been doing. He replaced into suited, yet, they chopped of his head besides! ALL regulations interior the sixteen Commonwealth nation-states could have Royal Assent. So, if Parliament provided a invoice to depose the monarchy, the Queen could could sign. If she refused, it may no longer legally ensue. besides the indisputable fact that, many countries that used to have the Queen as Head of State have left to develop into republics, so, she would be able to, and does sign away her rights, if asked to achieve this. So, the British Parliament could pass a invoice for the united kingdom to develop right into a republic, and, the Queen could ok sign it. besides the indisputable fact that, there is not any thank you to stress her to achieve this.

Answer 8

pulling out would be the wisest thing to do for several reasons. thing is that violence has grown instead of diminishing ever since saddam was deposed, so now that US indirectly created that mess they can not simply say... well, we were wrong after all and leave.

that is without resorting to conspiracy theory, because if you resort to that view... the answer is more than obvious. now that the US has control of an oil-rich country after putting someone "loyal" in power, they have to stay and watch their interests, right...

Answer 9

to give the Bush haters something to use to elect a Democrat next election. J/K the job is still not done there is civil unrest that could lead to civil war which would allow that country to return to a dictatorship. war is hard and we should pray for our soldiers every day! these men and women give us our freedom to play here.

Answer 10

This war was put together and implemented by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Bush. It was a bad idea to start the war. If their army is unable to "stand up" on its own by now , it never will . It is time to get our guys home already. Good Luck! :)
