The terrorist insurgents are everybody's enemy, not just the USA's. The problem is that the world has been slackers in dealing with these people and now are just content to sit on their haunches and let Britain and the USA take care of business so people like you can sit back and be armchair quarterbacks. I see you just made a "fumble".

From the viewpoint of Lincoln's Republicans it was totally worth it. Their goal of centralizing power in the hands of the federal government succeeded along with a complete elimination of all political opposition through the period of reconstruction. Lincolns goal was never to free the slaves. He was a bigot who despised being in the presence of blacks and opposed slave holding in the new territories in an effort to keep blacks out of areas he wanted to be reserved for whites. For the South it was worth fighting for those lost states rights. The states will never get those powers back after the civil war amendments and their expansion during the years of the FDR courts. Few can understand the war today because it involves an understanding of state's rights and the federal system that is foreign to us after all of the changes this country has seen. People would rather have a government handout than liberty. Social and corporate welfare is a way for the federal government to take the property and liberties of citizens and redistribute them like in a socialist system. But these have been commonplace since the days of the new deal and we do see that the South was fighting for the preservation of the constitution that Hamilton, Lincoln, FDR, and Obama have destroyed.

I think most everyone will agree we already won this war......
I would give 130 billion in Ammo/Guns/Armor/etc to support our troops but as for giving anymore to Iraq I wouldn't. These people are not working with us to help make a better country why should we help them...

We won the war but unfortunately lost the peace. Now were stuck there for years. We should have never been there in the first place but now if we leave it will be a disaster. Iran has already been strengthened by this war-if we leave they will become a regional superpower.
Furious George has gotten us into something that 50 years from now may be looked on as the single largest blunder in the history of modern man.

130 billion? Hey, that is money that liberals could have spent on health care, education, and other liberal elite programs! Let freedom ring in a conservative America!

If we pull out, Iran will move in. And if that happens, the whole region will erupt in a war, and WWIII will begin. Iraq would also be a pure breeding ground for terrorists.

it is your opinion that we have lost. Bush needs to do what he is, because if we pull out, that will cause a civil war in the middle east, which will lead to worse things. if we dont set up some way to control the sand people then thats whats going to happen.

I cannot imagine what our soldiers have been put thru and all the innocents who have suffered.
I like the site Iraq War Vets Against the War, it's interesting.

Americans have had enough, but Congress clearly has not. They have the power to stop Bush. They can even overcome a filibuster by tying return of the troops to funding.
I am thinking that the Democrats in congress (I'm a green, to put this in perspective) are completely gutless. Either that or they own a big chunk of the military-industrial complex in their portfolios, too.

You're delusional if you think we've lost, and I think that description fits you far better than it does the President, fool.
