If you view enough questions here you will notice that many Americans sympathize and agree with you. A vast majority do not agree with the decisions concerning Iraq made by the white house.
My personal opinion is that our military should not be used other than to protect our own borders exclusively. They certainly should not be used as the world police force by the UN, which we shouldn't even be a part of. A standing army was expressly opposed by our Founding Fathers, though they failed to specifically make this unquestionable in our Constitution, it was nonetheless understood that a standing army was prohibited. Hence one of the main reasons for the 2nd Amendment.
"What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. . . .Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins." - Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, VP of the United States 1813-1814, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment, I Annals of Congress at 750, August 17, 1789
Unfortunately, what a majority of the people think or believe has little to no bearing on what is done by the government despite the fact that we are a country of individual sovereigns to which the government is our only subject. The slave has become the master.

I am an American patriot. I support our president. First of all, if I was writing something to you, in your home language, I would take the time to spell check it and make sure that it was legible.
George W. Bush is far from a war-monger. Ever since Dwight Eisenhower was president, we have been in the Middle East due to one conflict or another. We didn't just go to Iraq to wage war and have hundreds of thousands of people lose their lives, we did it because Saddam Hussein was a threat to the world and the United States was the super-power that organized the other countries to join us in taking him out. Iraq was a dangerous place with Saddam in power. It still is a threat, but now, at least it's on the road to recovery.

That's seriously mest up. I agree Bush is a power crazed egotistical moron, but it is illegal to be trying to get people to turn on the president. I got in serious trouble for it once.

he's an arrogant putz who doesn't listen to the people but rather concerns himself only with carving his name into history. I feel the same way about him as you do and can't wait for 2008 or his impeachment. If something "unfortunate" were to happen to him while he's with you, 70% of the US would be okay with it.

Well, he is not a favorite of mine, but I tell you this.............as long as you and your country are (among other things) cashing aid checks from the US and benefitting from US businesses expanding into your part of the world, I would suggest that you deal with it and stop being so ungrateful. Shut up.

We don't want him to come back home either. Can't you just keep him there until he dies.
