So if we don't fight them in Iraq, our country is weak and so it can't stop them from coming to the USA?

Question

That's what conservatives seem to think.

This kind of republican-rhetoric makes no sense and it is just more parroted BS that you will hear everyday from them.

4th Answerer, so you believe our country wouldn't be prepared to prevent another 9/11?

Answer 1

Fighting "them" in Iraq makes it MORE, not less likely that we will ultimately have more violence here at home as well as anywhere else in the world we might choose to go.

The thing that is amazing to me is the inability of war supporters to put themselves in the shoes of regular Iraqis. Every American should ask himself this simple question: how long would you tolerate the presence of uninvited and unwelcome foreign military forces in your town? A week? A month? How about four years?

I'd have started shooting at them as soon as one innocent neighbor became"collateral damage".

Makes me a terrorist, doesn't it?

Answer 2

There is no way anyone could invade here, we all own guns, there are military bases everywhere, it just isn't in the scope of reality. They may someday again bring it to our soil, but we will give it right back. The thing is maybe we can come to an agreement with them. Perhaps if we pull all our troops out of Muslim lands Muslims will not try to attack any non-Muslim lands. As long as that peace is maintained, great. There are perhaps some things we have done around the world that we should make amends for, to pacify the humans and start to change the opinion that others have about America. Then we offer business support and get the heck out of their lands, if they want to fight their let them, it is none of our business.
IF someone does attack us though after we have made an arrangement with them, we should take appropriate action. We can have peace and business, or we can have war and instability for all. We just have to decide which one we want.

Answer 3

The last time a western nation was fighting an insurgence in a middle eastern nation was France in Algeria back in the early 1960's after the war was over the Algerians did not start fighting the French in France. So do people think the Iraqis will be blowing up car is Kansas city three weeks after the war?

Answer 4

I did not say that at all. USA is not weak at all. You don't think a democrat state in the middle east is a good thing? I think it would be nice to have somebody help keep an eye on Iran. If you want a whole bunch of 9-11's than let's pull out . That would show em what were made of . PUDDING

Answer 5

No, because of fact a) not basically did the Bush administration make the case for conflict it additionally gave time for Saddam to permit weapons inspectors to have complete get admission to to weapons web pages and forestall the conflict, which Saddam did not do. b) Cheney replaced into asserting what he felt and believed to be actual from available intelegance. c) Iraq replaced into accused of having hyperlinks to terror which it did not refute and likewise admitted to paying the households of suicide bombers money. 2.) Iran did not intervene to guard their activity the interefered with the desire of putting in an Islamic Republic jointly with their own. the rustic did fragment because of exterior impacts and new stumbled on freedoms of an prolonged surpressed sect of Shia in Iraq. 3.) could desire to america depart all progression made would be lost. Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Jordan will flow in to decrease up the pie with the purpose to communicate. Our enemies would be emboldened in simple terms as they have been after our pull out from Vietnam.

Answer 6

The powerful one would always find out some bogus excuses to **** the weaker ones. But they don't take lessons from the history. Power of a nations or groups is like the waves of the seas (here it is time)- up and down with time. Now, it is the up time of the west and down time for the Iraques as well as for the Muslims. But naturally this polarization would be changed with time and ......................

Answer 8

How about this for instance, how else would these big corporations get away with getting rich from the tax payers, and not have to be taxed them selves, if they are working out of country they don't have to pay taxes.

Answer 9

Yep. This is the kind of conservative logic that runs a chill down my spine.

Answer 10

What do you mean? We are not "fighting" these people so they won't come over. It sounds like you are saying we need to beat them with sticks so they don't dare cross to our soil. We are trying to bring democracy, not necessarily fight them off. Our country isn't weak. It's the strongest out of all of them.
