Hi I'm Sean, I am an Atheist, I think we're going to be at war with Iraq and its going to spill over into Iran.

Answer 1

I'm an atheist, and I think that no matter what happens in Iraq, we're all gonna be screwed. I think that as long as we continue to stay, our troops are going to be killed. We aren't helping to create any kind of order or instill the values of democracy -- we're standing around in the middle of a bloody civil war between groups of people who are totally incapable of compromise.

I think that eventually we are going to pull our troops out, and the civil war will keep on raging until somebody takes power. I think that things are going to get alot worse before they get better. I think that whoever ends up in control of Iraq will make other middle-eastern and terrorist anti-American alliances on the platform that we came in and left their country in ruins.

The horrible aftermath of all this is going to result in bad press for the democrats who pushed for us to pull our troops out of Iraq, and people are going to forget who got us involved in this war to begin with, and that if it hadn't been for the Bush administration, we wouldn't have to be making a decision between the lesser of two evils -- do we keep letting them kill us and each other, or we do let them kill each other first, and then start devising plans to kill us later?

I think that the war in Iraq is going to result in the world being a much more unstable and dangerous place.

Answer 2

I am a Muslim. I think Iraq is never going to become a democracy since the Shia, Sunni, and Kurds can't stop killing each other for 5 minutes. I also think Bush made a fool of himself by going into Iraq and Afghanistan. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if Iran started fighting America for Iraq.

Answer 3

I am a muslim ! and i m sorry but i don't think it s a war in iraq.....war means armed hostalities between the two powers and in this case the other party is missing.......American army is fighting to the Iraqis actualy and not to any army ......these iraqis just want them to leave their place....and i can say this becuase now they are regreting the downfall of Saddam regime and one can well imagine how they are being treated there they are not safe in their homes ..saddam was not a good president for them and now when they have started missing him its mean they are living even miserable lives !! umm i can't say anything about future...as Bush policies have ended up into complete failure especialy intrudcing more troops there didn't worked at all, this is actualy a war for power and money and no doubt this is one way war....and it only depends on the bush policies and political situaion in america as well !! and ofcourse it is not going to do any good to Iraqis but can benefit US economicaly as Iraq stands 2nd in Oil resources! yes Iran can be the next target but ther are some peoblems with that !! US would attack it after keeping in view some facts as Iran is not an easy target like Iraq !

Answer 4

Christian. We will stay in Iraq at least 3 to 4 more years but even after that we will keep a present there. As we have done after all conflicts. I do not believe that the war will spill over into Iran. Even the Iranians are not stupid enough to provoke us much further and anyhow if they were going to they would already done that.

Answer 5

1. Atheist.
2. I think the war in Iraq was based on lies, was started without any plan which deserved the name, was the work of several special interest groups, was seriously messed up, and continues to be messed up big time. If there was a god I would thank him that my country is not involved in this incredible mess. And if I were a US citizen I would get a headache and would demand to pull out of this mess as soon as possible.

Answer 6

I'm Lou. I do not have a religious label, but I believe in the one True God. I feel that the war in Iraq has been mis-handled from the beginning, but that we are getting on the right track now. We need to expand the war into Afghanistan to hunt down Osama bin Laden, however, and worry about Iran later.

Answer 7

I'm an Atheist and I don't see Iraq as much of an R&S question.

I think the Bush administration went to war there because they had been unable to capture Osama in Afghanistan. While they did use American's growing hatred of muslims as background, it was not a religious war, it was a political war.

The civil war in Iraq is a religious war, pitting Shiite and Sunni muslims against each other. It will continue with or without our presence.

Iran will not be a spillover but a calculated decision. I think it more likely that the drums of war will grow louder as the election approaches but we will not see troops cross the border before then.

Answer 8

1. I am a Christian (Catholic)

2. I think the war will also involve Iran, but not until Bush has destroyed another million lives in Iraq.


Then will come payback ...

Answer 9

Bush attacked Iraq for WMD(Weapons of Mass Destruction), right. Did he find them?.With this pretense he killed thousands of innocent people in Iraq. Now he is telling that its a "MISTAKE".

i can't understand how American people continue to tolerate this man. All this is for worldly things. That is for oil.

For American people this might be a war. But for rest of the world its a blood shed of innocent people.

I think that the American people should think abt what is going to happen in America ??? but not in Iraq. Iraqi people knows better what to do next. its better for Americans to stop thinking abt other countries !!!

" whosoever killeth a human being, it shall be as i f he had killed whole of mankind & whosoever saveth a human being, it shall be as if he had saved whole of mankind... "
( the Holy Q'uran 5:32 )

By the way, i am a Muslim

Answer 10

I'm KC, I'm a NeoPagan Taoist, and I think we'll go to war with Iran and leave Iraq in the chaotic disaster we keep saying will happen if we pull out.
