Why is Iraq going BAD???????This is WHY!!!!!!?

Question

For starters...Iraq is the most AMAZING MILITARY VICTORY the United States has had since WW2. There is NO doubt that Operation Iraqi Freedom was the fastest "military victory" in the HISTORY of warfare!!!!!! It was the fastest land, sea, and air invasion since the history of recorded history. IRAQ HAD THE 4th LARGEST ARMY IN THE WORLD...America cut through it in 4 weeks and removed SH from power!!! PERIOD...However, Iraq is being lost "
POLITICALLY"...NOT MILITARILY!!!!!....We won the "actual war in 4 weeks".....RECONSTRUCTION IS MORE Difficult!!!!!. US and UK soldiers are dying because we are trying to AVOID CIVILIAN CASUALTIES...IF we didnt care.....we would just carpet bomb.....and would have left IRAQ a "Glass Parking Lot" 3 years ago...but Americans are BETTER THAN that...we are not EUROPEANS!!!!....We care about human life and die for it...almost 3,000 now....we die for the sake of the Iraqi people!otherwise we would just eradicate the whole country! America doesnt do that

Answer 1

Because this administration had a very little knowledge of Iraqi culture and its complexity's.Mr. president according to Amb.Galbraith even did not know that there are two main sects in Islam and they are each others arch enemy's, he thought every body is a Muslim there.Don't forget Saddam had 10 years to prepare the opposition for USA.and his plan seems to be working.

Answer 2

Just because we kicked Iraq's *** doesn't make it a good war, idiot. We have enough nukes to eradicate almost any country -- does that mean we should start carpet-bombing the planet? Of course not. A fight you win doesn't make the fight just.

Of the "Axis of Evil" that Bush labelled (N. Korea, Iran, and Iraq), we chose to invade Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction. Good call there. N. Korea and Iran have them, and Iraq never did. If we cared about civilians, we wouldn't be invading other people's countries to begin with when they pose no threat to us. The death rate is HIGHER now in Iraq than under Saddam, and by the last estimate I heard, 600,000 Iraqis are dead because of the war -- the majority due to gunshot wounds.

600,000. That's about a hundred and twenty 9/11's we inflicted on that smaller country. Why? Where's the WMDs? What's the point? Changing the reasons for going to war halfway through a war seems a little dodgy, don't you think?

All of those troops shouldn't be in Iraq, so that when we threaten Iran or N. Korea, we can actually back up that threat. Instead they're just like "Whatever USA -- we're going to detonate a nuke. F*ck you." And we can't do anything about it cause all our boys are sitting in a harmless sandbox next door.

How come the president who swore to keep WMDs out of the "Axis of Evil" only figured out where they actually were after the LITERAL mushroom cloud. Wtf? You see this as a good thing?

Wake up and smell the coffee.

Answer 3

Point 1. You did not win WW2.It was a joint effort and if you knew anything about history you would know that the Russians had more influence on the outcome than any other country.
Point 2. As the war is still continuing "military victory" has not yet been obtained.
Point 3. The Iraqis knew they could not win conventional battles without air cover and that guerrila warfare was their only chance.That is what they are doing NOW.
Point 4. "We are not Europeans!!!" For your information,the UK is part of Europe.
Point 5. "We care about human life" Tell that to the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Answer 4

Yes, it was utterly, incredibly, amazing - in the same way that NY Yankees beating Hicksville Junior High School would be amazing.
And why would any western country want to carpet bomb a middle east country that had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11? Please don't get carried away.... red necked, gung-ho attitudes are going to be the downfall of civilisation if we are all not a little more circumspect. It is simply not possible to bomb the world into a specific way of viewing things - that's why countries have diplomatic services.

PS Just before I posted the above, many other 'answerers' sent in their responses. It is a relief to know that most people seem to disagree with your comments which were, to say the least, not very considered and far too triumphal in tone.

Answer 5

Uh, that's not actually a question that you posed. I love how we try to frame a war within a sports paradigm - winning, losing, etc. Oooh, awesome job, the largest military in the world smashes the crippled infrastructure of a 3rd world nation within a few weeks, and somehow, its supposed to be inspiring. Our 'war' vs. Iraq was about as impressive as watching the New York Yankess win the Little League World Series. We could've nuked Vietnam as well, but we realize that we would be the ultimate rogue state if we decide to start turning our political enemies' homelands into radiocative sheets of glass. Face it, we're great at blowing stuff up...it's the cleanup and aftermath that we suck at.

Answer 6

There was once many Jews in Iraq. despite if, all Muslim international places - different than Iran - kicked out their Jewish populations some years in the past. or perhaps only before this, the Jews, and different non Muslims, weren't given the comparable rights and freedoms as a results of fact the Muslim inhabitants; they have been very plenty 2d classification electorate. In Saudi Arabia, it remains right this moment unlawful to own or use a bible, for example.

Answer 7

The United States' obsession with Iraq is all about the winning of THIS secret "prize"!...

Answer 8

Do you REALLY believe this? Yeah it was hard to invade a small backward country with NO WMD.
Would you mind telling me why are men and women are still dieing over there?The military themselves claim that they are still fighting the war.I think they know a little better then you about what is going on.Your ignorance is showing.

Answer 9

You nailed it. But not in the way you think. Why should American and British soldiers die to protect Iraqi civilians?
We have no moral responsibility toward them. Kill them all if we have to, or we're gonna lose.
This boy scout mentality of 'we're better than that' is potentially suicidal.

Answer 10

If you destroyed Iraq you couldn't get their oil
