Why do we not just bring our soldiers home,and send Saddam back to Iraq to sort their own problems out?

Question

The way I see it we invaded Iraq to "protect" the Shiite Muslims from Saddams Sunni Muslims but now that the Shiite Muslims are doing far worse to our soldiers than the Sunni's did would it not be better to remove ourselves from thisaffray and leave them to it with saddam back at leats there would be less chance of an alliance with Iran at least

for the record this is a HYPOTHETICAL question people, Inspired by the amount of casualties on both sides that can only increase with the current situation, a Dispatches documentary on channel 4 UK a few months back showed that there are death squads operating from the shiite side whom were actually "special policemen" initially recruited by our coallition forces . Surely genocide is genocide no matter who's allies carry it out? I personally feel we should have sent forces to the congo to stop the genocide going on there first but hell i'm only an ordinary guy what ould I know anyway?

Answer 1

It's an interesting question. I notice that hardly anyone can give a good reason.

I'm not sure where we go now.

The media has reported this week that most Iraqi's think life was much better under Saddam.

We've killed twice as many Iraqi's in 3 years as Saddam did in 23 years. The place is just bombed out houses and militia death squads. It's so sad.

Still, they might have civil war, a broken economy, a foreign army, the US stealing their oil, no jobs, no hospitals, no schools, no water, no power, no future and brutal murders every few minutes.

But I keep hearing it's all worth it, because last year, there was a rigged election that had record votes cast and death squads ordering you where to tick.

Answer 2

Firstly Indian Joe is talking out of his ****. Muslims are generally peaceful and only a small minority are fundamental and extreme, just like the fundamentalist Christians in the Bible belt in the US. The Iraqi society was a secular society where Muslims, and Christians lived side by side. Indeed Bin Laden hated Saddam and Iraq because of the secular nature of Iraqi society. Bin Laden thought that the Middle East should be exclusively Muslim.

Secondly, Iraq was not invaded to protect anyone, but was invaded to protect all that precious oil that Saddam began selling in Euros and not Dollars and thus harmed the US economy.

Thirdly, it would be best to withdraw all troops from Iraq as we have made the mess there and the longer we stay the worse it is going to get and more soldiers are going to die.

Answer 3

I don't exactly know if your right,that is on the issue of the US troops supporting the Shiites etc.But what i do know is that Muslims what ever kind they are cannot be trusted.Saddam was their tyrant and they lived under him,in God knows what way.Submissive,respectfully,fearfully etc (doesn't matter to me)
But Saddam is not the answer,this mess was a mess that started from the time that Saddam was re-installed as the head of state during the previous Bush regime.It is only fair that the next generation "Bush" takes care of Daddy's mess.
One more thing,in matters dealing with Muslim fundamentalist their are no talks,they only understand the turret of an M-16 a1 assault rifle.The American government needs to understand that their going to face opposition from all sides,that's the problem with democracy;theirs always someone to answer to.
But in the end the US has got to fight terrorism in a ruthless way,otherwise their never going to win.

Answer 4

Yeah, sure. Let's send him back...too bad we can't raise his sweethearts of sons from the dead and send them back too. Rape rooms, torture rooms, killing people who dissented...That sounds lovely. Saddam using all Iraq's oil money for his palaces, wmd and Viagra...Ah, yes. Well, I see it like this: When the sectarian violence, which is fueled by Iran, gets under control, the citizens of Iraq will finally be able to enjoy the freedom and liberty that we enjoy. Optimism, optimism, optimism...And we will have a MOST valuable ally in that region!

Answer 5

Watch 9-11 Fahrenheit. It's a documentary/film about the truth why America/and the coalition invaded Iraq. It's a film EVERY ONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD SHOULD WATCH.

Answer 6

the adaptation is that the folk Maliki is going in to kill are capturing back. He does not gasoline entire villages of harmless civilians. happy Saddam have been given hung too. setting up end for a brutal dictator. deadly injection could have been thank you to friendly.

Answer 7

In this case I suggest that you learn more about the situation.

For example - we turned Saddam over to the Iraqi government a couple of years ago.

Answer 8

Saddam would murder those who didn't rise against us. Which is actually a majority of the Iraqi's.

Plus it would show other countries that we quit and can't do it.

Answer 9

Get to know the subject before asking the question.

Answer 10

TAKING OUT SADDAM WAS NOT A WISE MOVE, IT SHIFTED THE BANCE OF POWER IN MIDDLE EAST. WE WANT OIL, WE COULD HAVE ASK IT FROM HIM.
