Why do people care about Iraqi civilian deaths now, but don't care about the increase in deaths if we pull out

Question

HAHA Walter. My sources are old news boy. Everyone knows there will be an increase because the US military is policing Iraq.... Without us there the bombers will be more free to roam cause of less security.

You seem to have the idea that there is war in Iaq because of US occupancy... No, the truth is the US is keeping it more calm then it could be. There are religous groups fighting for the power of Iraq. They are not going to stop this fight because the Americans leave.

THAT'S MY SOURCE!

Answer 1

Because they don't care about civilian deaths. They care about their own political interests.

Answer 2

How exactly do you know they wont hug each other and forget the whole thing after the US has gone. The point is, in other parts of the world where there are "like" tribes, matters can be settled overnight with the right mediation.. Go home is what I say. The US never worried about the effect of the invasion before now so why start now?

Answer 3

1. People care about the Iraqi deaths now more than before because no one expected there to be over 600k Iraqi deaths.

2. Now that we know Bush lied and our tax money paid to basically invade, occupy and slaughter innocent people just defending their counttry.

3. There will be less deaths than 600k by far if we leave.

4. The Bush admin has itself released documentation stating our presence in Iraq has only caused MORE terrorists to come there.

Answer 4

"US must establish peace in Iraq before it pulls out because there will be a great civil war if they pull out now. "

Maybe you haven't noticed, but there already is a civil war going on. Do you think civilians are getting killed because we are there? No... most of the civilian deaths can be attributed to their recent protest of terrorist groups in Iraq. Terrorists are being pushed out of the regions, and to stop that, the easiest thing to do is kill those who are against them. Deaths will not increase if we pull out... but Coalition Forces casualties will stop and that's all we should be worrying about. The government is stable enough to stand on its own-- Bush just won't let them. He is still telling Maliki what to do!

And as for needing "diplomacy not weapons"?... you try being diplomatic with people who cut off children's heads... kidnap, torture and kill their own people... and who are blowing up my friends... we need weapons, sorry... you can negotiate with monsters.

Answer 5

Because they are liars. They know very well that the deaths will multipy exponentially if we pull out. They also don't care about the deaths and torture that took place before we got there.

They will use whatever story it takes to defeat any defense of this country. It doesn't matter if it is Iraq or anywhere.

Answer 6

The US must establish peace in Iraq before it pulls out because there will be a great civil war if they pull out now.

Answer 7

It is difficult to find an answer to Bush's military holocaust, but people are reaching for answers. Allow free speech or consider what happens in N. Korea, a style of non-democracy that will happen in the US if people keep complaining about free thought.

Answer 8

You sound as if you already know that the numbers will increase. What is your source for this question? How do you know it will increase. Who is to say that it might decrease? Please show real numbers and facts as to why this will increase. Then you can ask this question.

Answer 9

They figure that if we aren't there then it's not our fault. They are a bunch of cowards who only see part of the picture and will never change cause change means their wrong and they are never wrong.

Answer 10

Do you really think a hundred thousand US troops is going to stop a civil war?
What is needed is diplomacy, not weapons.
