uk troops should be withdrawn from Iraq?

Question

A majority of Britons feel troops should be withdrawn from Iraq this year....what do you think?

Answer 1

as an army wife, my hubby has been to iraq so i feel very strongly about this subject as i am sure all army familys do. get the boys home, some of my friends husbands didnt make it home from iraq or afgan, so think about their familys their wives, mums dads brothers sisters and children. how do you explain to a small child that their dad/mum isnt coming home????
comon tony get the boys out a there

Answer 2

Well if the Iraqi people can cope with the security problems and deal with the law and order issues, then yes by all means get the troops out.
Whether you were for or against the war we can't just say get the troops out and leave them to rule themselves. It would, possibly be worse than it is now. There is no easy answer to Iraq and I certainly don't have all the answers,however, getting rid of arms and not allowing any militia to control areas would be a start, also a ZERO tolerance attitude with any criminal activity may also help. Let's hope that a solution can be found before the fighting spills over to other countries.

Answer 3

UK troops or the US troops for that matter are never going to win in Iraq. The British army couldn't defeat a less militant IRA and were fought to a stalemate so how can they expect to beat an extremely militant bunch of Iraqis who are willing to blow themselves to pieces in order to take out British troops. A guerilla war always favours the guerillas and I have yet to see a guerilla faction lose a major conflict.

Answer 4

there isn't any way any of the applicants could desire to get rid of the troops perfect away. Doing so may be an entire disaster. this might want careful making plans and attention. This became a huge hollow in his election delivers by way of fact pulling the troops out immediately may be impossible. the united kingdom troops can not flow perfect away the two. Very careful making plans will could be coordinated with the united statesto make particular each little thing is going easily.

Answer 5

Given that we are directly responsible for the mess that Iraq is in at the moment it would deeply morally wrong to simply pick up and leave. Furthermore, doing so may only act to exacerbate the ill feeling toward the UK that may exist in the region.

However, given that many of the Iraqui people seem to want the UK and US to back away it is important to embrace, rather than ignore, that feeling. Western forces should reduce their activity and act to help support the government forces in Iraq but they should not simply pack up and leave.

Answer 6

Since we( UK /USA) are using the old Imperial method of divide and conquer - ie. provoking violence between local factions so they attack each other rather than our forces - I'm sure calm will be restored quicker if we go;After all we'll stop attacking their shrines and making sure their local enemies get the blame - and be sure our covert forces are and have been doing this all the time - thing's will be sorted out in the end between them faster without our method's constantly making it worse.
Check out these sites for the truth on these matters, these sites are international and not controlled by the 5 (yes just 5) corperstions that control ALL CORPERATE MEDIA IN THE WESTERN WORLD; THEREFORE THESE SITES TELL US WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING INSTEAD OF WHAT MANIPULATING GOVERNMENTS OF ALL PARTIES WANT US TO SEE AND THEN BELIEVE IS THE TRUTH; As we do now and have done for years.Take a deep breath first it is quite a shock to suddenly see just how manipulated we are.

Answer 7

I would like to see our troops back home as soon as possible but the problem is if you pull out now without achieving your objective have the poor guys that have died done so in vain?............. The problem as I see it is do we say that the troops that have died did so for nothing and they were just wasted so we should stay to finish the job and a least then they would have given their lives for something worth while..... or ....... do we say enough people have died and we should get out now to save any more deaths?

Answer 8

UK and US troops must withdraw from Iraq and let the Iraqis have their own government.
