Well, my son's been over there for two tours of duty for a total of two years, and he's back home with more money that he saved up while getting combat pay while over there, and a whole lot wiser and mature and patriotic and ready for his "civilian" life. It's been great for my family in lots of ways, most especially for all the good it's done my son. God Bless you.

There is something wrong in most of the peoples minds about Asian countries. Taking the land of the original people of Australia, New zealand, North and South America was easy as they were outnumered and innocent. Vietnam, Korea, Iran, Iraq were part of great civilisation. they have been fighting wars for centuries and if not for anything they have a lot of self respect.
All other conflicts could be blamed for prevention of communism etc. but this war on Iraq is uncalled for. this question is giving sleepless nights for many many people all over the world. America should have acted responsibily. It is very embarassing for so many proud americans as this will go down in history as most unjust. America is known for Justice for all and freedom, this is not how we exhibit. It will be very difficult to cover up this act, not only to this government but to the change in government. Everybody is going to be affected by the hostilities

I will not answer the question directly. Despite HISTORY of EMPIRES, high technology and vibrant society, Americans are still as human as ANYBODY ELSE: egoistic and greedy. In the last decades created seeds of what could be a really better new world but failed to make a difference. Preventing this, high standards of consumption and ambition. Still in it`s collective memory the poverty they escaped from their former homelands, the only aim of mainstream lives is possession of material goods. It made no difference all the religions or ideologies created by mankind claiming spiritual purposes. Men will listen from it ONLY the parts that do not disturb their main goal: POWER. Americans are no different, despite loving to think that they are a "brand new thing", (just like ALL THE OTHER empires before them), and will keep willing to test it`s limits.
Or unlikely the other empires in history will they succeed to have the rest of the world serving the interests of their group? How to know it if you do not try? Is that it?

Absolutely! The deaths of young American Troops in Iraq brings us back to Vietnam are still alive and living in our memory. And, the added deaths of more Troops is very painful to those who lived through the last war and could never understand how we got ourselves into Vietnam and why we stayed ten years.
And now, again, we are fighting and our troops our dying for no good reason in a Country we invaded. How could we do this again?
America, how could we do this again?
We learned nothing from the last war lost. So we go and do the same thing again, in spades, and we are going to lose again. We need National therapy, and education on how America really works and how you can spend 30 billion dollars in so called Intelligence and not know anything?

Gasoline prices, a new found "hatred" towards those of middle eastern descent just because we can't distinguish the enemy from the civilians.
