Not speaking in terms of what you think about President Bush do you think we should continue in Iraq or not?

Question

This question is based upon whether or not regardless of what you think of Bush whether or not it would be a good idea to pull out of Iraq now or later when a government could possible be established. You answer should be based upon the current situation only!

Answer 1

Yes, we need to stay until we accomplish what we went in for.

Liberals like to draw comparisons between Vietnam and Iraq. What they fail to mention is the fallout from our dishonorable behavior in retreating from Vietnam, especially after the huge success of the Tet Offensive.

Millions and millions of Vietnamese became refugees with thousands losing their lives in fleeing the country. In neighboring Cambodia, between 1 million to 3 million people were slaughtered by Communists. And the loss there encouraged China and the USSR to continue to prop up North Korea, where untold millions have been executed, imprisoned and starved to death.

As well, the Congress-imposed defeat affected American foreign policy for decades afterward. When liberals cry that we are slow to stop genocide in the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda or today in Sudan, they have no one but themselves to blame. The retreat from Vietnam left the U.S. gun-shy in involving itself in any other foreign conflict.

Any liberal who thinks the same things (and worse) won't happen if we surrender in Iraq are fooling themselves.

Answer 2

i believe that the u.s should pull out of iraq.the war has become a lost cause staying there wil only increase the american soldiers death toll.every ally that the u.s has as it entered iraq 4 yrs ago is pulling out or has pulled out .if they all pull out and the u.s is left as the sole millitary presence there well hat will double or triple the death toll and enough young men and women have died already.
this war is not winnable.the u.s staying will result in a bigger death toll and more money spent,the u.s leaving will surely embolden the terrorist to re-enter the country just like the taliban has re-entered afghanistan and neighboring countries such as syria and iran will surely want to invade iraq or hijack its most coveted resource:oil
so again this war is ot winnable bu the u.s congress should do whats right wich is to cut funding force mr bush's hand and bring back the troops OR the second option could be to move out of iraq,post a few ships on the waters ,post soldires around the borders with iran,syria and just be of supprt to the iraqi governement until a deal can be reached to stop the fighting between the sunnis and shiites and the completely move out and allow these people to govern temselves and should there be any more fighting let the iraqis ask for help at the U.N
as soon as a governement can be established equally amongst the different ethnicities the the soldierscan ans should come home but in the meantime a slow and steady pullout is exactly whats needed and the u.s has to establish its self as only a support for the troops of iraq outside of the country nearby the seas and the freindly neighbors/allies(kuwait,saudi arabia)

Answer 3

We shoud leave now. Based on the response or lack of response of the Iraqi people. When we first bombed the Iraqi people seemed to do little to help. Yes thousands of their people have died. But when we cleared towns the people let the insurgents return. Some hid them, fed them and offered very little resistance. If the Iraqi people were a united people it would be different. Most are too busy fighting a civil war. Therefore their eyes are not on democracy but on which religious sect should run the country. Let them run their own country the way they want. Bring our soldiers back and let us focus on our own problem such as better providing for those citizens that lost homes in the various hurricanes.We're rebuilding another country when we can't even rebuild a few towns and cities here.This war is not about democracy it is now about testestarone. A smart General knows when to retreat and plan a new strategy.

Answer 4

I think it's a "no win" situation whether we stay or pull out. The Iraqi's are going to have their civil war either way. So why even keep our troops in jeopardy? I say pull out now, and see what happens, we can always go back in if they really need us.

Answer 5

All troops should be pulled out. That war has turned into a lost cause due to the list of soldiers dying daily. Even if a government is set up for them it won't last.

Answer 6

No. There's no point. The ONLY possible difference in whether we pull out of Iraq NOW or 5 years from now- will be the # of American soldiers who will die in the meantime. And HOW can we justify THAT???

Answer 7

No I think we should get out....10 years from now we'll still be there and we will have lost 10X's as many Military Personnel & our deficit will be through the roof.....and Iran will still have unrest.

Answer 8

What choice do you have? You toppled their government and threw them into a state of civil war, and now you want to say "oops" and leave?

Answer 9

i think we should pull out of iraq
we have no purpose being there, what are we accomplishing in iraq
iraq is getting worse every single day as its pass
everyday we are loosing iraqi and american lives for no apparent reason

Answer 10

NO BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAR BUSH IS JUST THERE TO MAKE MONEY AND BLAME EVERYTHING ON SOMEONE ELSE AS USUAL AND TERROISTS ARE NOT IN IRAQ THEY ARE IN AFGHANISTAN.
