do you thank the war was a over all good thing for iraq?

Answer 1

Ask the Iraqi's. They will tell you they're not feeling good at all.

I never see anyone listing all that Bush destroyed in Iraq - a country that been in existence since antiquity.

Priceless books, parchments, art and art were destroyed or stolen and sent abroad.
Then George/Rumsfeld burn down a library.

This country had objects that been around before the birth of Christ and George Bush destroyed it . Iraqis treasured it, Saddam did too, not even when he was at his worst.

Answer 2

A firm and resounding no. Yes - SH was a bad dictator...but there are a lot of them in the world - is it our job to go and oust them all? No. And if you agree with the prez that we had to help the iraqi people, then why aren't we in darfur? why not north korea? why not a dozen other countries (especially in africa)? From the very beginning I was vhemantly against it, knew it would be a disaster...the whole thing stunk...and then as it went along, my views were justified over and over. The people of Iraq were bad off with Saddam, but at least they had power...they had water...their kids could walk to school....they could go to their places of business and to grocery stores. Yes, Saddam killed a lot of them...but it wasn't a war zone. The violence wasn't like it is now. Try and think about what it would be like to live in a dictatiorship...keeping your head down, living your life under the radar - and then these "liberators" come in to make things right for you and at first it seems like it's gonna be great...but then the violence starts....people bust into your homes and shoot your family....bombs explode in the grocery store....you have to sneek your kids to "school" and hope they make it home again....and that is just a grand over simplification of what is going on there! No - this war was not a good thing for Iraq and it will take generations for them to recover. And I'm not even taking into account how unstable the whole region is now.

They could have handled Saddam at a later date...in a different way.

Answer 3

It was not good AT ALL.

There is no redeeming purpose for the carnage that's going on in Iraq today.

Iraqi children are fleeing their homes while Americans are in their easy chair flipping channels when the scenes of war are most disturbing,

Why did America cause the deaths of thousands of people AFTER they got their man?
There is no good explanation for this.

I pray that Bush and his boys pays for his crimes.

Answer 4

No. Since the war began, the battle for power between Shiites/Kurds and Sunnis has created the lingering threat of civil war. Innocent Iraqis have been injured or killed in attacks between the two groups. Also, insurgent violence has killed or injured thousands of Iraqis as well. I should also mention the towns, property, and people's lives destroyed from the "collateral damage" of U.S. attacks. Saddam was indeed a brutal dictator, but the chaos that is the current war has left Iraqis in a worse environment than when Saddam was in power.

Answer 5

Not at all, the americans are the kind of people that just can`t mind they`re own business, they must do things to feel powerfull, Is well known that they want power and economic control in Iraq, and not peace and democracy, it shouldn`t be their business what happens to other countries.
There wouldn`t have been attacks in 2001 if the americans would have staied home minding their own politics and economy from the beginning, There are countries richier that US and nobody come to kill inocent people, just because this is what they are in the mood to do today!
You should kill Bush and his staff, if you want to peace and if you want to have a normal life, without being affraid of terorits, just like we live in EU.

Answer 6

More important than whether I think it was good for the Iraqis, is whether the Iraqis think it was good for the Iraqis. The resounding answer has been no. The fair polls have it at something like 90% Iraqis are against America remaining; even the unfair ones like Fox News have it at something like 50% against us being there, and Fox News is staffed by some of the most messed-up brainwashed Republicans you can find. Not all Republicans are messed up, Joe Leiberman isn't so bad. But those monkeys are out of their mind over at Fox news. Yet even they acknowledge the Iraq war could have been better.

Answer 7

because you draw close out in philosophy section, please tell me what the philosophical rights and wrongs of mendacity approximately militia provider could be... i'm no longer saying you're mendacity, yet your question lacks any precedent on your formerly asked questions besides by using fact the certainty which you're quite known and (from my adventure and the adventure of different OIF vets) incorrect on your information. EDIT 2: there is merely another subject... Kritzer died from an IED, no longer from an RPG to the returned. Carballos died from shrapnel interior the returned, no longer an IED to the face. This 2nd bit is from Sgt Fernandez' (silver celebrity recipient) account. Oh, and that i in no way pronounced i grew to become into with the 4th identity. that must be the incorrect branch of provider EDIT: the subject I somewhat have isn't which you're saying you have been deployed... it is that i've got in no way met a troop who can no longer think of of one reason we are over there. i've got in no way met a troop who did no longer see the best interior the persons we've helped. And the foremost subject I somewhat have is that the 4th identity grew to become into deployed in 2003 and grew to become into back to the U. S. by potential of the the third month of 2004...

Answer 8

Unless you're living on mars, you should know the answer to this question. But since it seems you don't follow the news I'll answer it for you. IT IS MOST DEFINITELY THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO IRAQ.

Answer 9

No its not....its more like a takeover than a war.....but either it doesnt seem like a win win situation....we dam if we stay there and we're dam if we leave.....but at this time I believe we should bring the soldiers home....there suffered enough for an all lost war

Answer 10

I think it was good. If someone believes in the idea of Democracy and capitilasim and if we really believe the America way of life is good then we should expand Democracy. These are serious times and it would be nice if the terrorists were "liberals" and wanted to talk.

But they are not liberals and they are not conservatives they are nuts. How do you deal with a belief system that teaches their kids to strap bombs on themselves? How do you deal with a society that has said they will not be satisfied until they raise their flag over the whitehouse?

The answer is that you spread Democracy. Folks who live in free societys don't strap bombs to themselves and go into a temple and blow themselves up.

You hear of people fleeing Iran to come to America
You hear of people fleeing Cuba to come to America
But I have never seen someone fleeing America on a raft to go to some other country.

At the time of this posting the Iraqi government has just condemned Sadaam to death. Would that have happened without America? The answer we all know is no.

In closing this posting I must say "Things have changed". In the war against the Nazis I'll tell you how justice was served out. The U.S. Army lined up the Nazis and mowed them down with machine guns.

Destruction of evil is good and just and must be done. As my grandpa who fought in ww2 said..."It all boiled down to it's either them or you and both opposing sides knew that." So we can talk about what is right, or how to handle it but "the war is going on now" and right now like my Grandpa said "It's them or us."

May God have mercy on my enemies because I will not
