Isn't it time for Americans to accept that we've failed not only in Iraq but all other places we've gone to

Question

Too much propaganda and false life, corruption, greed, We left here to fight against terror in Afghanistan we couldn't do it, then ran to Iraq to grab their oil under the pretext of searching weapons of mass destruction and spreading democracy. What did we actually achieve over there apart from destroying that country. Sadam and his people spent years building that country and we took days to destroy creating factions that are bombing every where and we can't control them, And we turn round fulling ourselves that we are the worlds number one military might.Our boys are been killed every day.The russians would have done a better job. Why not bring our guys home? We have lots of things to do. Every thing is in the esteem, crime gangs drugs illigal immigration. Or are we just used to leaving things undone and roaming round the world?

Answer 1

What world do you live in? When have we ever attempted in any way to take the oil from the Iraqi people? Destroying a country that Saddam had spent years to build?? Do you KNOW what percentage of his annual budget went to his military????? Why would Iraqi have had (pre Gulf War I) the THIRD LARGEST standing army in the world if not for his plan to take over all of the middle east? It may well be time for the US to leave Iraq, but you speak of propaganda, and that's all you spewed above. HYPOCRITE!!

Answer 2

Failed in all the other places we've gone to?

Like France, Germany, Italy (ok maybe Italy), Belgium, the Netherlands? All of these countries were "invaded" by the US at the end of WWII to kick out the Nazi occupiers.

Like South Korea? Can you see a more distinct proof that America was in the right during that conflict? Below the 38th parallel you have prosperity, freedom, arts, education. Above the 38th parallel you have the worst human rights abuser, complete poverty, starvation, and a crumbling society.

Like Japan? We transformed that society from an emperor-worshipping cult into a thriving democracy that is the world's standard for capitalistic innovation.

Things aren't a cakewalk in Iraq. But they weren't a cakewalk in any of these other countries as well. The difference is that the US population today has incredibly short attention spans, a complete lack of historical knowledge, and a disdain for any effort that requires discipline and sacrifice. If todays US citizenry were around during the 1940s, the Nazis would have kicked our asses in a very short time. As a group of citizens, we are incredibly weak and lack wisdom.

Answer 3

History has always taught us that whenever an army goes marching in half-******, and on a pack of lies to invade other nations, the only thing they do is bring contempt upon themselves and their allies.

Propagandizing, invading, occupying, and taking charge of other's country's oil are not methods of spreading Democracy.

These tactics coupled with the new ones, like wire tapping on America Citizens, spying on American Citizens, Condoning torture, and doing away with Habeus Corpus, are Nazi tactics, and a recipe for disaster.

My friend, with this regime, you have witnessed the Nazification of America.

See what Willie Nelson has to say about this...

Answer 4

What the hell are you talking about, all the other places we have gone to? Man, you need to educate yourself. Take a look at Japan, which the US beat in a war and then ruled for a number of years and rebuilt. Quite a success story isnt it? Take a look at Western Europe after WW2. The US didnt rule there, but really rebuilt an awful lot of what is there. A failure? Doesnt seem like it. Your question is a lot more BLAH BLAH BLAH FALSE PROPAGANDA than fact.

Answer 5

Here's a thought - use actual facts to start with, not falsehoods and assumptions based on patent lies.

We did NOT go to Iraq for oil. Not only is this a stupid and false assertion, it means that you're easily taken in by even the poorest lie.

We did NOT destroy Iraq. Saddam did NOT build up Iraq. Stop your wet dream fantasies about Saddam. You need to listen to the people who suffered under decades of Saddam's oppression.

Your claims about the military aren't true and are not based on reality. We crushed Saddams army in a matter of weeks. The vast majority of deaths are from trying to bring peace, democracy and prosperity to Iraq, which many of the Sunnis do not want. They preferred the days of Saddam's rape rooms, torture chambers, childrens' prisons and mass graves.

From your tortured English to your sad lack of facts, why to you say 'we' when referring to us Americans?

Answer 6

Which liberal web site did you take this from? Saddam did not build a country he was too busy building mansions for himself and his sons. They tortured and killed thousands and you want to make him sound like a good leader. You are an idiot. If you want things to change you should get your facts straight and do some thinking. As usual for a liberal all you do is condemn and complain no ideas there. Oh yeah there was one. Cut and run just what you want to assume we always do.Stupid lib.

Answer 7

As an impartial observer it does appear that the US war machine has gathered to much momentum whilst serving only to make some very rich people richer, and many many very innocent people "deader"......Wars are fought by terrorists no matter which side you are on....how does war benefit humanity and promote the value of life?

Answer 8

Wow, talk about too much propaganda and false life.

Answer 9

Your arguements are without merit and do not coincide with fact. Just another shrill voice of the Democrankie ideal.

Answer 10

We won everything until the UN got here. i wonder if there is a correlation?
