Everyone is against the war,so whats your big solution?

Question

Everyone=anyone who has a one sided opinion.

I should of said a reasonable solution.Laying down to terrorists is not a solution but avoiding the problem.

Yes,lets nogotiate with countries suppling weapons to terrorists,why didn't my government think of that.This is not directed to those who know what is going on.We are at war with Iran.Thank to those who support us and your country.

Yes,lets support the troops by leaving less of them to fight,BRILLANT.

The terrorists come to fight in Iraq.It is a mere staging ground as saddam was a mini hitler.

That's what I thought.Thank you for not answering my question.

Answer 1

I am not against the war...but not wholly for it either. I think to pull the troops completely out of there would be a HUGE mistake that the United States would pay for dearly...on our own soil in the future.

Answer 2

Phased withdrawal. We don't "cut and run," no pulling out all at once. But we stop sending yet MORE soldiers there. We give the Iraqis a timetable by which point they need to have come up with a solution for their own country (end of '08 sounds good) and we focus more on training the Iraqis and less on policing their Civil War in the meantime. Oh, and here's a thought--we ask the rest of the world for support and input in this, since not only Americans can be smart or right.

Answer 3

Change the focus from hard to soft power. Create a broad and open-ended hybrid of the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan. The crux being a funding source for hospitals, clinics, infrastructure and schools (especially technical schools), all of which would be supervised by an international board of directors that would have the authority to govern these projects.
Since we are already in Iraq, I would create this funding source for its neighbors.

Response:
"Thank you for not answering my question?"
What exactly would you call my response? I posited a rational alternative to the use of hard power. We saw the sheer power of direct aid to direct a country into the American fold, in both the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan, one need only look at Turkey's EU ascension aspirations to see their lasting efficacy.
I'm sorry if you do not agree with my alternative, but to say that I in no way answered your question is condescending to say the least. I did not include Iraq, because, by all accounts it is a failing state, a school has little value if it will be blown up a week after opeing its doors. We opened the package and, as a result, our priority had to change.

Answer 4

Not everyone is against the war, but I'll answer anyway. I think a mixture of troop surge and diplomacy in the region is needed. Send in the extra troops to secure Baghdad and fight off al-Qaeda in the al-Anbar province. That will hopefully allow the Iraqi Parliament to get back to work. At the same time, we should start negotiations with Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, Turkey, Syria, and Iran. If everyone who has an interest is present, maybe something can be accomplished.

Answer 5

Well now the USA is put into the position where it has to defend itself. In the future, if possible elect a pacifist Government which will declare the neutrality of the United States.( After this war on terror is completed.) This way, United States will not have to worry as much as a nation.

Answer 6

First, leaving Iraq is not "laying down to terrorists" because Iraq had nothing to do with any terrorism against the US. Bush and Cheney have both admitted that.

Second, as long as we are there the parties in Iraq do not have to deal with the consequences of their actions. They know we are there to bail them out and prevent things from getting out of hand. If we announce we are leaving by a certain date, they will have to face the facts and come to some kind of resolution that will prevent them from all out factional warfare.

Answer 7

Seems to me we are already in a world war and as much as we would like to deny it it is not going away! So we need to stop trying to fight a PC war! Let our military fight!

Answer 8

Easy, arm the sheite muslems and let them waste the Sunnis. Someone has to win, and someone has to loose to settle the problem.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Speak for yourself. You can say I would prefer we didn't have to go to, but don't say I am against this action. Big difference.
