What do you think about the war in Iraq?

Answer 1

I think it's fine, thanks for asking this question................AGAIN!

Answer 2

Where did you see a 'war' in Iraq? War occurs between the armed forces of 2 or more countries. But in Iraq, there is no such opposition forces. American and British armed forces are brandishing their guns in Iraq against the people and the people are trying to get the invaders out of the land. Is it a war?

I wonder when Mr. Bush says about 'victory' in Iraq. What victory? Against the innocent Iraqis? Ha...Ha...Ha... this is the type of victory of America? Then why not taking a chance of victory against India, Pakistan or China rather than Iraq, Iran, Syria and Sudan? I would not wonder if some day, Mr. Bush announces a victory of America against Vietnam.

Answer 3

You can't measure its value based on attacks on US soil. By that measure:

1. One during the Clinton years (World Trade Center 1)
2. Two others during all of US history
a. War of 1812
b. Pearl Harbor

A better set of measures would be:

1. What has it accomplished so far
2. What is it likely to accomplish

On point 1 (what has it accomplished)
a. Destabilized the middle east
b. Increased Iranian and Shiite influence in the region
c. Increased Al Qaeda influence in the region
d. Cost more than $1/2 trillion while poverty programs are cut
e. Cost of 100,000 HUMAN lives (please don't read American here, and Iraqi is just as human as we are)
f. Made more profit for Halliburton
g. Halved oil production in the region
h. Renewed American skepticism about its own government

On point 2 (what is it likley to accomplish):
a. A permanent diminution of American military prowess around the world
b. The demise of Iraq (probably into 3 countries, but possibly into 2 plus a larger Iran or just a larger Iran)
c. Increase worldwide skepticism about American foreign policy (we must live in this world despite what our American superiority complex suggests)
d. Push us closer to a Soviet style bankruptcy due to monumental increase in national debt
e. Leave us a second rate power behind a burgeoning China

Answer 4

we don't belong there-never did! 911 sent us after Bin Laden-that is where the focus should have been-no where else!We need to totally get on the bio fuel band wagon-let them have the oil. How dare we try to cram a democracy down someone else's throat when we are having so many problems with it at home!! Americans are mostly uninsured, have horrid minimum wage guidelines, longer working hours and less vacation time then most other countries. We can't even control our borders-but we should control a country 6000 miles away?? Regardless of who we elect to office-there is no compromise any more-just bickering.........we all need to get back to basics, and start working on our own problems and not try to police the world.

Answer 5

this is the number 1000000000001 question about what do you think about the war in Iraq

Answer 6

Nine trillion dollars and counting, that's $9,000,000,000,000.
That is the amount that we owe the world on this war, and that means that the government have to raise tax again so that they can keep paying that national debt.
While minimum wage stays the same and some bastards in congress thinks that raising minimum wage is not a good idea. Of course it is not a good idea for them, they get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Answer 7

Iraq was a "pay me now or pay me later" situation. Either we dealt with Sadam now or we would have been dealing with him several years out into the future. He hated the US, he funded Hammas suicide bombers, harbored AlQaeda...just a matter of time before he had to be dealt with. Clintoon did not have the balls to deal with him because his polls might look bad and it was safer for Clintoon to hurl worthless, unenforceable UN Resolutions at him.

Answer 8

I think we should WIN. Bring freedom and security to the citizens of that country and get out. I think the traitor Libs in this country want us to lose and be killed and embaressed in the process.

Answer 9

Driving us into a recession. EX: Send us your gold, and we'll send you CASH( worthless paper)

Answer 10

It is just and going better than the Left wing media/al qaida alliance is saying.

Answer 11

how many attacks has there been on US soil since 9/11? ZEROOOOOOOOO
