Should the feds pull there troops out of Iraq, Now.?

Question

There going to fight us till we leave.why not just leave.

Answer 1

We should pull out now, or at least somewhere in the near future. Even if you do "stabilize" the country and form a government, the citizens of Iraq will elect a total jerk who will eliminate any progress we did make over there.

We, as the United States, have enough problems in our country already (education, immigration, poverty, social security, medical coverage, just to name a few). We shouldn't be playing global police to other countries on the verge of war. There wasn't even a tie between 9/11 and Saddam/Iraq. However, our arrogant administration implied there was. If we left, we would be in no more danger than we were while we were there.

Also, we say we are 'spreading democracy.' Oh, is that right? We are killing civilians and doing everything BUT listening to the people. Do you think they really want Americans coming over to their country blowing everything up and mistreating them? No.

The whole 'war' is beyond pointless. My best friend is over there right now, and in his last letter he told me he has no idea what we are doing over there.

Answer 2

The US has a moral obligation NOT to leave.They never should have gone there in the first place.Oh sure it was great to get rid of Saddam and such but does that mean that we should go to every country where tyranny reigns and enforce democracy?Hwo the hell would that work?
When the US left vietnam a huge vacuum was left .There were many results from this,the worst being an opportunity for the Khmer rouge to assert power in Cambodia.As a result over 2 million khmer were killed by that regime over a 4 year period.
Leaving Iraq without stability would create a climate for anarchy and things would be worse than when we started.
So yeah ,as much as I disagree with Bushes foreign policy I do agree that we have to stay the course because the result of not doing so is unimaginable

Answer 3

Yes, definitely pull out. But I don't think it's going to happen any time soon. Not even within a year or two. The bigger issue of being there is in the first place is to continue getting oil for free from Iraq. There's always a hidden agenda.

The Iraq war has done far more bad than good. People keep talking about "America's freedom", but what freedom. Seriously? The American government rules the world. They don't need freedom. It's the other countries who need the freedom from America. America needs to stop powering other countries.

And America should concentrate on the problems within their own country rather than dealing with other countries' issues. But like I said, it's part of a bigger issue -- oil.

I've had enough of hearing stories about how soldiers are abusing people in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not to mention raping innocent people. Having soldiers standing on your doorsteps. That's not freedom. That's impostering. How would American people (and also British people) like it if they had Iraqi and Afghanistani people patrolling their streets with guns in their hands. And also dominating power to abuse people.

It's all a joke. The world is corrupt. The sooner they get out, the better. Most of the country didn't even want them there in the first place.

Answer 4

We are not making any points with Iraq that they will credit us as being helpful for. We ARE making alot of negative points with them and with the middleeastern world....and there are alot more people in the Middle East than most of the rest of the world all put together, not to mention more importantly all the lives-American lives being lost there-for what? To invite something worse than 9/11? Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for the fighting men of the U.S. and I know that the loss of any one of them is a great loss but we do need to get out of there. The first words that came to my mind when I read your question were the exact echo of what someone before me answered you. Now I do however concur that there can be places where you have to halt attrocities before they come to your door-such as the things Hitler was doing with his war machine. There are also allies you may have committments to and need to help but this is neither case and in my opinion is really none of our business. It would be quite another story if the whole country or even most of it was being either run by some cruel political party most of their homeland wanted ousted or invaded by some creul neighbor and was really begging us to help as well as fighting beside us, giving it their all but the key word here for the indigenous peoples is most and the key phrase is fighting beside us giving it their ALL. I am not saying that all the conditions in Iraq are right but if even a sizeable chunk of US people said they wanted to restructure our government or even that there were attrocities going on here that we wanted to put an end to, do you think they could get Lithuwania or Nova Scotia or even Poland to come here and fight our war? I know, if any of those countries had oil investitures or alot of national based businesses structured here, then the probabilities would improve. We are there for the same reason we were in Viet Nam-big economic concerns, not concern for the native people. Look at Viet Nam, if we needed to be there, we would have gone in 20 years before, when our ally France was fighting there...No, it is all about money and not about Democracy or humanitarianism or any of those other powerful adjectives and there is no price you can put on a life, Iraqi, American, Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese or any other. We do not belong there so we should pull out. Wrong motions, wrong motives. Just plain wrong. Two wrongs (being there and staying longer) do not make a right.

Answer 5

Once that cretin Bush had commited troops to Iraq he painted the country into a corner. If u pull out now u lose even more face 'cos the Iraquis can't keep a new system together alone. It's as the French would say "UNE BELLE MERDE"

Answer 6

No that would nearly be suicide. We have created a nest of terror training in Iraq. We cannot just pull out now that we broke it in the first place. Say what you want to about Saddam Hussein but at least he had the place under control.

We HAVE to stabilize that place before we leave or we are going to pay dearly...

Answer 7

A rapist has a woman and is going to kill her. The cops come in and he puts up a fight. The cop say if your just going to fight we are going home. Sound good to you. I would think it would.

The only thing that keeps them fighting is Iraq is that kind of talk. The killers in Iraq know if they can kill as many women and children as possible Dumb F*^&@ killer you will pull out and let the killers just massacre.

Answer 8

When the Iraqi government is capable of defending itself, we should leave. If we leave earlier Iraq will be overrun by Iran, just Vietnam was overrun when we pulled out. The result will be a massacre.

Answer 9

No! Right know were on there land and have an advantage because we are protecting our people, but if we pulled out there would be more and more incidents like 9-11.

Answer 10

A phazed withdrawl that allows Iraqis to see us leave and other countries in the region take over as extra forces are needed. That is the best way to go.
