are we fighting them over there, so we dont have to fight them over here?

Answer 1

One more political B.S. statement. The boogie man's gonna getca! One more fear tactic like the WMD and them showing you how to use a gas mask. Or the one I like was the plastic and duct tape; Whatever happened to that great idea? Was it someone working for 3-m that got that going? I just want to know if the ones in charge of makeing the discision will ever figure out we are fed up with the STUPID remarks being made at us as a nation? What other stupid remark is this highly educated bunch of fools gonna make next? Tell me a story of godzilla and a dragon, it's easier to swollow than this crap I keep hearing.

Answer 2

There is no question that establishing a peaceful, tolerant, democratic country in the mid-east will be a blow to the radical Islamists who want to attack the US anywhere they can.

The fact that Al Queda was attacking the US long before Bush was President or 9-11 happened is evidence that we are in a war with terrorism; one that will go on long after we leave Iraq. The US needs to decide if we want to surrender in Iraq, giving encouragement to the terrorists (bin Laden already boasts of defeating the US in Somalia), or whether we want to ensure that Iraq is a solid democracy, friendly to the US. The latter will take time.

But the alternative is to return Iraq to radical Islam. And all the people who've answered that that won't mean attacks on the US homeland have just been brainwashed by the mainstream media. Folks need to get their heads out of the sand. A strategy for long-term US security clearly includes establishment of peaceful, non-radical governments throughout the mideast, and the rest of the world.

Answer 3

We are fighting both ways here. We are fighting for the ones who died in the towers and there families, yet fighing to keep the terrorist out of our nation so that will not have to happen again. As for the Demi's taking office, I think it would be a good change yet, if they DID pull out of this war bush has over there, then that will not be a good thing, cuz it needs to be finished. IF it takes 10 more years then that's what it takes, (even tho I never agreed to the war)!!!

Answer 4

Another ridiculous claim that makes no sense what so ever.

How is winning in Iraq going to stop a terrorist in LA from blowing up a building? Being that we know the terrorist are already here due to our open borders, what does fighting in Iraq really have to do with someone detonating a bomb in the U.S....Nothing!

As if, if we claim victory in Iraq, all the terrorists who are already in the states are going to pack up and go home. Being that Alqaeda doesn't have a navy, I don't forsee them defeating the U.S. in Iraq and then sailing acrosss the Atlantic ocean to invade North carolina... it's a stupid dumb *** tale that only the most gullible would follow.

Answer 5

Unlike so many of the previous posters, I am not an expert in international politics and can only go by what I see.

Mr. Bill (The fine liberal statesman) was president and terrorists were able to come into the US to plan and initiate what later becane the 9/11 attacks that killed 3,000 US citizens.

Bush (The warmongering idiot) is president and there have been no more attacks.

Hummmmmm.... I wonder if that could be coincidence?

Not likely!

You can say what you like, I believe what I see.

Answer 6

My friend who is in the US Army once told me back in 2002 that in order to secure the US they would launch a war in iraq. This would give the terrorist a place to group up so we could kill them all. I guess it makes sense logically, but I dont think thats the only reason we went over there.

I think a combination of finishing The first Bush's war, and the fact that Republican presidents have historically always taken the country to war for one reason or another. Thats why the Republican party is looked upon as the party of military.

Answer 7

That's only part of it. Saddam was a tyrannical leader that ripped that country to shreds. I hope we will stay there until the job is done. Our job, to ensure another "Saddam" doesn't happen again. He went against the UN sanctions and basically spit in the worlds face. Can't have that. Can't have the terrorists thinking they can take over and do what they want. It is a fight and we need to stay the course. Our president isn't as dumb as most would have you to believe.

Answer 8

This is the lie than millions of Amiercans bought into hook, line and sinker. The reality is that if Bush cared about protecting Americans, then he would have secured our borders immediately after 9/11. I think he likes wire tapping and reading our mail instead.

Answer 9

No.
Saddam and his country didn't have the ability or intention of coming over here.
The people we're killing in the streets just want us out of their country....they don't want to come to ours.....at least they didn't. Maybe after some little boy watches his whole family slaughtered he'll be pissed off enough to become the next Osama. Way to create more terrorists Mr. Bush.

And if you think we're gallivanting heroically against evil... Think again. Saddam was at the bottom of the evil leaders list.....why take him out? Why not someone who is still committing genocide?

President Bush is making the world a more dangerous place with "war" and bad foreign policy decisions.....this is how terrorists are born.

And if you think for one second that lives lost in Iraq are saving lives here, you're kidding yourself....those men and women are dying for nothing. That's the sad truth.

Answer 10

Partially yes however this also ties into the new world order which requires participant to be 'democratic'. Therefore some governments must be changed, and open borders for the U.S. This is a complex plan designed to enrich the wealthy without regard of the destruction of life as we know it in the U.S. Also complex in the fact that the democratic party and the administration are desperate to achieve it as soon as possible. (removal of the borders) Afghanistan however is a case of get them before they get us.
