Well we removed a dictator and made an honest attempt to create a democrasy. Now we knowing that terrorist attacks and car bombing are always going to happen, should step out and watch to see what happens next. We are finished! We cant expect to make any more progress. Yeah anybody can hang a dictator, but thats really all we did, and all we can get away with. All we can visually do to make some moral boost in iraqs young government. We are killing civilians and our soldiers are dying everyday. This is a war that has to be fought on all fronts by all countries that were meant to fight in the first place. We can push a little into our favor but we cant make a monopoly out of it We cant control anything and we cant make instant peace. Im glad that we did get up and do something about it though instead of being like other countries and simply gossiping about our successes and our repeated failures.

No, war is the last resort to any conflict, no one can tell me we could not have achieved much more spending far less money, manpower, and effort. As for mikeb and ken why aren't you two over there fighting the enemy now.....scared??Are just big talkers?

Listen I have a cousin over there too... but most of them know they need to be over there and pulling out now just isn't an option no matter how hard it is to say.

That is war; people kill each other. There is no other way it could be. Also, despite what the recruiter told you, you would be in the business of killing people in the Air Force. That is the point of armed forces. To kill.

Become a bartender. You'll enjoy more. War sucks, and the armed forces too.

No, we should be home minding our own business and protecting our own borders and population. Those people haven't changed in 5000 years nor will they. Barbarian is as barbarian does.

Our government started this war under the pretenses of WMD (weapons of mass destruction) and al-quieda ties to Hussein. They were both discovered to be false. So, why are we still there?

NO WE SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS WAR, WE NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE AND LET THEM FEND FOR THEMSELVES, WE HAVE ONLY CREATED MORE TERRORISTS AND MADE OUR ALREADY BAD BUDGET EVEN WORSE BY THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BUILDING UP WHAT WE DESTROYED EARLY ON IN THE WAR.

I think it went from a war to an occupation quite a while ago..We should be working on a plan to get out.
