Attention Democrats!!?

Question

Why do you Democrats want us out of Iraq soon?
Did you know the violence in Iraq is like trying to control Gang violence in America only in another country. Would you tell your Mayor of your city to to let gangmember tell you how to run your life. Why would you ever abandon the iraqi people to a bunch of crinimals that enjoy causing trouble. I am just saying to control the secterian violence is like fighting gang violence in america we already know that takes time. Just look at history from Al Capone to John Dilinger. If you live in Los Angeles you would think you were living in Baghdad. Does this question make sense?

Answer 1

Short answer Prof is this:

Because our troops are in the middle of a struggle that is way older than they are, and they can't tell which is which, and they have no clue as to the why.

They are sitting ducks in the middle of a conflict we have not only failed to end, we started it by our complete lack of understanding of the People and culture of the Nation we planned to invade.

We have let our troops down from day one, by underestimating the attack force required, failing to secure municians, I could go on endlessly. Read Fiasco.

At this point it is like standing between the Egyptians and the Jews. A Dangerous, and somewhat hopeless place to be.

And, you know what? Im tired of being plastered with your assumptive bumper sticker mentality. I AM a Democrat, that does not make me a Liberal any more than being a Republican makes you a NEOCON. Best we all understand that much.

Answer 2

The question is rhetorical (you're not really asking anything) and no, you're not making sense. A history lesson would help, in particular, a recent history of "gorilla" style warfare. Think of the Korean war, Vietnam, Russia in Afghanistan. The occupying forces failed miserably in each instance because the logistical hurdles were too great.

The enemy cannot be eliminated because they're almost impossible to effectively identify. Those that can be marked are almost impossible to find (that's another history lesson for another day). If the "insurgents", "rebels", "terrorists", whatever you want to call them, can't be forced into submission through fear of grievous bodily harm or death the attacks will not subside.

This is what we're dealing with right now. The extremists in Iraq, their own homeland, place little value on life, be it yours or their own. They are driven by "God" and country. If they aren't afraid of dying how are we going to scare them into seeing it our way?

Barring a vulgar display of fire power and millions of civilian deaths (I'm talking about the big one here which of course would be the beginning of WW III), we have no effective means of controlling the "insurgents". In actuality, we're just trying to end a civil war that we began. GW started a fire America cannot possibly put out.

Your attempt at a parallel (Iraq to gang land America) fails. American gangs aren't organized enough to use effective warfare tactics. Their numbers aren't great enough to present a threat worthy of the deployment of most of the US military. They have no mission statement. They have no real cause. They have no drive. They aren't motivated by nationalism or religious fervor. Most importantly, they reside in a country that's already under civil control. We have no fires to put out (so to speak). If I was wrong, South Central LA would still be on fire (and Detroit, Chicago, New York, Boston, on & on). You're comparing apples and truffles.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

I don't think they actually mean to literally run away from Iraq. We broke it so technically we should have a part in fixing it. They, along with almost every American want a comprehensive plan to stabilize the situation and return the country to the Iraqi people. That was the plan at first remember? Bring DEMOCRACY to Iraq. No matter what the State Department may think. That country is not ours to keep.

Answer 4

You're comparing apples to oranges.

It's not just Democrats who want us out of Iraq. Many Republicans do as well.

We need to get out of Iraq because we started the war there on false pretences. Many innocent American soldiers and Iraqi civilians have lost their lives; not to mention our American soldiers who have been maimed for life, plus the back-door draft.

The violence over there is to fight the invaders (us) and anyone connected to the invaders. We cannot stop it.

The Iraqis are not children whose hands need to be held. They are adults with their own culture and minds and can manage on their own.
We cannot force democracy on a country whose culture is not their way.
The Iraqis also do not want us there.

We are wasting millions of dollars and American lives each day we remain there; when that money can best be used for more productive purposes for our people.

I suggest you read up on what is REALLY going on in Iraq before you compare it to something it is not in order to make up excuses to have us stay there when there are no good reasons for us to be there. We don't OWN Iraq.

Answer 5

frequently, seen media (television) provides the main interest and valuable spin to the democrats. talk Radio belongs to the republicans and understanding print can pass the two way reckoning on the city that's producing it. the unhappy section is that neither party is worth of the attention. each 4 years they make provides that they've no purpose of preserving, fail us miserably via fact the balloting constituency, and save getting away with it via fact, like lemmings, we save balloting for those 2 political events. Sigh. The time has come for the media to supply interest to a 0.33 party with new ideals and techniques. Too undesirable it won't take place in my life time.

Answer 6

Do we have people from another country trying to stop gang violence in America? No. We are trying to handle our own problem. We cannot be there forever, and the reason we are there seems to change daily by the White House representatives. It's time to do something instead of standing pat while Soldiers die, money continues to be wasted, and no one seems to have a solution.

Answer 7

The question should be "Why do the Iraqis want us out of Iraq so soon?" Do we have a right to be in a country that does not want us there? We aren't the world's police, even if Cheney and Rumsfeld want us to be.

Answer 8

I am more Dem than Rep, both have good & bad points. I know that we can not leave Iraq until it is under control. These peoples'
religion is that they are Gods people & they are supose to rule the world. Kind of like hardcore Repubs who think they should rule the the world & you can not change eithers mind no matter how many die or starve. Iraqs' motive is religion, Repubs' motive is wealth & power.

Answer 9

Let me get this straight. Your comparing the violence in Iraq to the gang voilence in Los Angeles and saying its equal? i was born, raised and still in the Los Angeles area, and you are a fool. NO, the level of violence in Iraq in no way shape or form compares to the voilence in any American city. Nice attempt at spin though.

Answer 10

In gang violence , you have to protect YOUR citizens. But in Iraq , they are not your citizens . The mistakes are already made. The best thing to do now is correct. Why throw away the country's resources and soldiers for some one else's problem??
Or do you think iraqis are american subjects?
do you think you ARE RESPONSIBLE for their conditions???
