how do you feel about the war in iraq?

Question

i really want to know what you think about this
because it affects some of us.

Answer 1

It's a civil war and it isn't right for outsiders to take sides in the matter including the USA.

Answer 2

On September 11 the U.S. United and bipartisanship was out the door.We went into Afghanistan, defeated the Taliban, and established a democracy that the citizens of Afghanistan voted on.

Then came Iraq.Most other countries agreed with our intelligence that Sadaam was hiding something.He violated UN orders to allow inspectors to investigate.He was warned to either follow international rules or face the consequences several times.He did not.So as a noble nation with approval from congress we went in.(no surprise)

Things went wrong as in all other wars that we have been in.After several years the American people got tired of it.
Instead of debating the issue in a non partisan way, the Democrats started blaming it all on Bush which was expected.

After constant bickering Bush let Rumsfeld go, The generals were changed,and a new direction was put forward all at the request of the Democrats.I recall a good many Dems calling for more troops.They got that.Now they are against it.
Most of them agree we have to win in Iraq.A few far left wing-nuts insist on bailing on the mission.Fine, Opposition is what makes America Great.

Until the Democrats come up with a plan for success we have to go with the best plan we got.If the Presidency was not up for bid in 2008, the dissent among politicians would be far less.The main democratic voices against the war have announced their bid for a run at the White House.Does this surprise any one?

Hillary Clinton is on her way to the middle east to investigate.Great.I believe she is the only level headed Democrat in the race.With Bill being a former President she more than anyone appreciates the stakes involved.I hope she finds a better solution so we can get people home.

If we withdraw before "mission accomplished" Iran will run the territory.Al Qaeda will have a training ground to plot against the Western world.Hezbollah and Hamas with the aid of Iran and Syria will invade Israel.Israel will attack Iran.See the picture...a regional war.
Where will we be? Back in the states.What will happen?
Even more Troops will be sent back over.

This is a "damned if we do,Damned if we don't" situation.
It is very tough to see soldiers and civilians die.Just remember, this was started on us and failure is not an option.

Answer 3

I think most people feel that the US started the war as part of a broader War on Terror. However, this analysis begs the question: If most people now realize that this war is an ineffective way to fight terrorism, why does the US government insist on staying even after its citizens demand withdrawal?

The answer is that the government has its own reasons for staying there, and they have nothing to do with terrorism. In that light, the US government is not incompetent as many would believe, it's downright sinister.

Answer 4

You mean Bush, Cheney and the PNAC Cronies war to see how the US would fare at getting the Iraqi Oil by lies. Their fight for the Delvils excretement has gotten what the Big Oil Corporations what they wanted. Render to Caesar which Caesar claims until his Republic will fall and the American people recover their freedoms from the Dictator.

Answer 5

It is a wicked war that American Oil and Security industries desired and obtained through our corrupt leaders using lies to justify it all in the pursuit of mo money.

Answer 6

Fine

Answer 7

Three Cheers for Bush. The Bronx Cheer.

Answer 8

I am and have always been against it. We have legitimate conflict with Osama bin Laden and the like, but there was no connection between Iraq and 911, so why are we there? We have other fish to fry, and neither the manpower nor the money to waste in Iraq. This attack is a black mark on my country.

Answer 9

The war is fighting for a group of people who have never had freedom unlike the people who live in the US. I have been to Iraq and Back and it has screwed my whole life apart. The war, think about it this way. People say that we don't need the war blah blah blah blah blah. But think about it this way...what happened to those people who died in the world trade centers? And on the the airplanes that crashed that fateful day? What about the little boys and girls who will never get to know their mom or dad because some terrorist group has so much hatred they are willing to kill innocent parents sisters, brothers uncles and aunts and cousins? What happened to the 3000+ soldiers who died in Iraq because they were fighting for those people who died before them? What about their families? Who will fight for them? Our forefathers fought to give us this land of democracy. Isn't it only fair as citiziens of the US, to fight in the war now? To preserve the land that we grew up on?

Answer 10

It's all about THIS evil secret!...
