Do u think iraq war has brought bad reputation to America.?

Question

Considering the fact that millions were killed, many family was broken..leading to civil war,while not finding WMD weaopen.
How history should remember it.

Answer 1

Who cares?!? America has had a bad reputation long before any conflicts with Iraq. We are the big dog, and other countries feel threatened by either our power or our way of life. I don't care what all the pin heads think of us, America is still the best nation in the world, and the jealous ones that point fingers at us just want to be as successful as us.

And get your facts straight... MILLIONS were not killed as a result of American action. The insurgency is not a civil war (but I can see that you are hoping for one soon), and there were WMDs found, even though some people still can't admit it.

Answer 2

Of course it has....contrary to what the few supporters of bush say..We know you exaggerate with the term millions but I've tolp people millions of times myself not to exaggerate because the neo/cons think every number represents "facts". Millions of times I've told them.
We need to think in terms of the whole earth, not in terms of America this or that...We need to think what's best for the people of the planet earth....Watch the neo/cons flip out at any mention of other people on this planet being just as deserving as them to being a habit ant thereof

Answer 3

We already had a bad reputation. 9/11 wasn't the first time we were attacked, just the first on US soil in recent memory. We are attacked because our interests are not liked and shared. The iraqi war hasn't brought us a bad reputation, it just continues to tarnish one that has been bad for some time.

Answer 4

The Iraq war hasn't brought a bad reputation to America. However, George Bush with his Gung Ho attitude has.

Answer 5

It absolutely hurt our reputation. Right after 9/11, we had the sympathy and positive image of almost every country in the world. We had been attacked without warning or provocation. Then we went into Iraq for bogus reasons, making us little better than those who had attacked us, and we lost the goodwill of many countries who previously supported us.
And, Galaxie Girl, what exactly is wrong with wanting peace?

Answer 6

no, as for WMDs, we did (deadly gas artillery shells). The fact insurgents are still using artillery shells to improvise explosives means we havn't found all the weapons caches yet. Serbia/Bosnia was a civil war, we got sucked in there, losts of collateral damage when you only use aircraft for high altitude bombing. And the same anti-Iraq war crowd wanted us to go into Darfur, where another civil war is raging and no clear sides.

Answer 7

I think the liberal bickering about a war is what has damaged this country. Put yourself in the Presidents shoes and tell me how you would have reacted. With the intelligence he had (which is the same as the past admin and 7 other nations) you would have done the same. If not the Islamic-Fascists would have lost even more respect for the paper-tiger US and we would have had more attacks at embassays and military interests! Realize they hate us, regardless of Bush, whom you hate as well.

Answer 8

Each person will remember it differently, my personal favorite is:
A war that had to be fought and was worth fighting for. People that learned to live the American dream after a hard struggle against oppression.

Answer 9

Why are we worrying about our reputation so much more than we are about doing what is right?! I don't really give a rat's behind what the world thinks of us; I know that the War on Terror is the right thing to do, and the rest of the world can complain all it wants -- but that doesn't make it any less right. And as for what our posterity thinks of all this, I don't care about that either; that's their decision to make years from now, not ours to agonize over in fear that we will be remembered in a bad light.

I've seen a lot of comments on here that say that the world really loved us before our reaction to September 11th. WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING?! The world has hated this country since its birth! Regardless of the psychotic things that some politicians have done to it, this country is still the most free of any in the entire world, and thus it is the most prosperous; other countries simply envy our success. Rather than working to raise themselves to our high level, they take the path of least resistance and complain until we are brought DOWN to their level. Never tell me that our actions in Iraq caused us to be reviled the world over; we only need exist for that to happen.
