If we are doing so much good in Iraq, why doesn't the news show it?

Question

I keep reading how we're building schools and hospitals. Liberating the women and cleaning the water. Yet in the military plan there is a red zone and a green zone where it's us and them. Since the war began terrorist attacks in Iraq have gone from virtually never to every single day. Just imagine what they could have done if they hadn't "lost" our billions of dollars in aid money. The place would look like El Dorado by now.

Answer 1

Let us go to how the war began. It started by selling lies to us that Saddam has WMD's. Those were never found. Then if you follow the media news over last 4 years, you will see that the face of the enemy was changed every 2-3 months. For a few days it was WMD's, then Saddam, then his Sons, then Abu-Musab something, then Muqtada Al-Sadr, then elections, then stability, then democracy etc etc and now sectarian voilence ....and the recent one is "Baghdad Crackdown". Each face of the enemy suggesting that once this is over everything is going to be normal. These faces given to the enemy are nothing but to hijack the minds of the public, to divert from the fact that NOT A SINGLE IRAQI wants America there. We should just put in our minds and think where do these so called "terrorists" enter into Iraq from? They are born everyday within Iraq. What would a single person whose whole family is killed in a raid and he/she is left alone? God forbid, if I were that person, I will become a suicide bomber and kill a few soldiers who were responsible for the raid. This has what been happenning since the war started. The war killed more innocent Iraqi's in 4 years than what 10 Saddams would have killed in 50 years.
Building one school and one hospital and cleaning a gallon of water is not going the clean the sins done there.

Answer 2

People don't realize that you can't just walk in, build towns you see here in the US in the middle of some of most violent place on Earth, Middle East, Iraq.

Iraq, before the US invasion was not a stellar country. Their standard of living, contructions, education..etc was not that great before. And they expect some how, the Iraqis will turn their country into a country like ours over night. It is no wonder things are going bad. It's like going off to remote tribe in Africa and you try to teach people with outfits made of tree branches how to build a car and you say 'man why can't these guys make cars?'

Iraqis were under dictatorship for long time. We set free all the tensions to blow out over. So everybody's fighting each other. They're just learning this democracy thing. They're trying to meet standards set by Americans and this whole thing is rushed and poorly planned.

You can call many janitors as you can, but million janitors won't build a rocketship no matter how much faith you have in them.

We can send million men army to Iraq, but it is Iraqis who will solve this problem, not us.

Answer 3

Because there isn't much good news to show. Hundreds of people and countless buildings are being blown up every day. A retired Marine went back to Iraq to interview Iraqi soldiers and get their opinions about the war. Most all said that it is because of the US soldiers being there that there is so much fighting and killing. Most hate the Americans taking over their government, and highly resent us for it. There are no rules or regulations on how long a soldier must stay on duty. They can leave when ever they want, and many don't come back from leave, or many are kidnapped and killed. Sectarian fighting has gone on for centuries but it has become tragically worse since the Bush administration invaded Iraq. If we are doing so much good over there, how come the Iraqui soldiers are so ill trained, many haven't been paid in months, insurgents are getting more sophisticated with their bombings, and people are still dying or are maimed for life. Iraquis are born and raised to hate non-muslims and now are fighting and killing each other. We need to get out of Iraq!

Answer 4

you are doing Bull S*** in Iraq . What did you expect anyway ??

If ıt wasnt for The USA and Israel , the middle east wouldnt be soooo violent !!

And what about the civilians and the babbies and children whom have died because of your blood lover psyco family. Whenever they come to power we see the bloods that spıll . Not fair on anyone.

Answer 5

I'm sure there allot going on we don't see the liberal news media shuts it out we really should be backing out as we have done what we went over there for. You can't fight a religious war on any level and they have been doing just that for 3,000 years.
