Hey Americans would you fight back if China invaded our country? Can't you see that's what is going on in Iraq

Question

When will we finally learn not all believe or want Democracy?
Don't the Shiite and Sunni's have a right to exist and live the way they choose? We have created Radical Muslim terrorism with our foreign policies!

Answer 1

We haven't necessarily created radical Islamic terrorism, but we certainly have made it worse and easier for them to recruit -- especially the generation of kids that are growing up in the Middle East now in the midst of all this violence.

The problem with the Shiites and Sunnis in Iraq is that actually, neither thinks the other have a right to exist, and we are trying to force them to play nice and live together. So now they seem to have a common enemy -- us.

We certainly don't go promoting democracy around the world -- only in places of strategic importance to us. If we are really about promoting democracy, we would be in places like Burma instead.

Answer 2

Yes, the U.S. invasion of Iraq was a disastrous mistake of which the repercussions will be felt for decades. George Bush and his policies have pretty much guaranteed that our children and grandchildren will grapple with radical muslim terrorism way worse than we have ever had it.

I can't believe nobody can see the so called "Troop Surge" for what it really is...a scheme to prolong the inevitable civil bloodbath so that it happens under the next Presidential administration. Let's face it, if we stay in Iraq for 1 year or 10 years, there's going to be a civil war.

Answer 3

Since this same question is asked in numorous differnent ways , I'm going to answer them all the same way.....
First, you need to quit relying on the Liberal media for all your facts.. A University of Michigan survey says more than 75 percent of Iraqis want democracy but are divided on the role of Islam in their government.
Done in collaboration with the Baghdad-based Independent Institute for Administration and Civil Society Studies, 51 percent of the respondents favored a strong link between government and religion, while 49 percent preferred a secular political system, said the respondents came from Baghdad and 16 of Iraq's 18 provinces, and included Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds in proportion to their numbers in the overall population.
"The vast majority of Iraqis of all three of the country's major ethno-religious communities expressed support for democracy over authoritarian political systems," said Mark Tessler, lead author of the study..
Creating terrorist... Give me a break..
Lets compare this same scenario with our past...
Let's turn the clock back a generation or so, to the beginning of the civil rights movement. Just a quick question for you. What if the bias media ran a headline which read: "Civil Rights Movement Said to Worsen Threat of Racism." The article tells you "Efforts by the Justice Department to end racial discrimination in the South has helped spawn a new wave of racial animosity." You read further and discover that recruitment of members into the Ku Klux Klan has increased since the federal government stepped up its efforts to bring the vote to Southern blacks.
Tell me .. .would it be time to pull back and let the racists and bigots just have their way? Or would our determination to go forward with the civil rights struggle merely be strengthened?
The terrorist agree.. The Democratic Party and its anti-american media is what enboldens the terrorist and helps them to recruit more ji had.. Why do you think they applauded the American voters that put the Democrats in power....

Answer 4

No, it's not the same. Not even remotely the same. That's a silly and empty argument.

The fact is that under the dictatorship of Saddam, the Sunnis were his supporters and garnered a lot of benefits thereby. The Shiites were suppressed, prevented from basic freedoms, and were subject to the whims of tyranny. Even Sunnis suffered under Saddam, and let's not forget the Kurds who Saddam attacked with WMD.

The majority of Iraqis want democratically elected representative government. It was a minority of Sunnis and foreign terrorists who had been fueling the insurgency for the first few years. I don't have much sympathy for people who seek to prevent freedom and peace and whose tactic is to blow up innocent people in markets and mosques.

You can fantasize all you want about the insurgency, the fact remains they are scum who have no compunction against murdering others.

Answer 5

1.) Not if China was trying to give the people a choice. I would fight alongside their army much like the Iraqi army is doing.

2.) Yes, can you? I was there.

3.) The Iraqis voted for and chose their own form of government.

4.) Yes, that's the whole point.

5.) Terrorism was around long before you were a gleam in your mother's eye.

Answer 6

Let's say we never had our revolution, so we still have the King of England ruling our lives. If China invaded, killed the King, and then let us vote for our own constitution and government, I'd think China was the F_CKING BOMB! Not only that, but then they stick around and keep sacrificing their own lives to help us fight insurgents being helped by Canada. Dude, China rocks! What a great country that would put it's own people in harm's way to help my country!

Answer 7

let's see....9-11 happened before the USA went to Iraq. The bombing of the USS Cole happened before the USA went to Iraq. The first bombing of the World Trade Center happened before the USA went to Iraq. Etc, etc, etc.

Are you really trying to say that radical islam was created when the USA went into Iraq? Your timeline does not make sense.

Face it...radical islam seeks to destroy all those who do not agree with it. Including you, if you are not muslim.

The answer to your last question is yes, they have the right to blow each other off the face of the earth if they want to. We should let them do it.

Answer 8

Your missing several important points Kelly.

One Saddam took the Sunni side of things. Shia and Kurds didnt get a right to exist how they chose in Iraq.
Did you not watch video of Iraqi people cheering the US military when Saddam was caught.
Remember how you saw more shoes than Imelda Marcos had being thrown at pictures and billboards and statues of Saddam by Iraqi people.
Its seems common in the middle east that if you are under the soul of their shoe you are lower than a dog. Thats how it was described to me by one anyway.

So no that is not what is going on in Iraq.

Answer 9

That is not what is going on in Iraq, most Iraqi's welcomed us in the begining, and the legally and popularly elected government of Iraq can ask us to leave at any moment they so desire. By the way China doesn't have the ability to invade the U.S..

Answer 10

I have seen some moronic statements in my time but this dribble is laughable. They have a right to their existance and THEY chose they government and freedom, were you in the corner sipping kool-aid when this happened?
