Answer 1

No, because I don't believe that to be true. We have done much to help the Iraqi people.

Answer 2

The only catalyst creating violence in Iraq is the poison known as Islam that has been poured into the minds of millions of people that could otherwise have become decent human beings.

Answer 3

As an American I feel the Iraqis are extremely lucky that their country is not a glass parking lot. The violence in Iraq truly does not bother me. I think our troops should be allowed to level whole neighborhoods. In my opinion we should withdraw all funding to the Iraqi government and halt all rebuilding attempts and reopen the war on a full scale. No I do not consider anyone in the country a civilian.

Answer 4

What people do not understand is that this is normal for Iraq, I don't know where people get the idea that Iraq was a happy peaceful country before the US came in. Before the US came in there were car bombs and suicide bombs, those actions continue. Before the US came in Saddam and his sons murdered thousands of people, torture and rape were common occurrences. The US eliminated the threat of Saddam making life better for the Iraqis.
The only reason that people think this is new is because of the media, obviously before we invaded the media did not cover the events of Iraq, why would they.

Answer 5

Only wacky leftist crazies would think that. Were we a catalyst for violence in Germany when we invaded to stop the Nazis?
Sure. It saved europe.

Same thing, liberals just cant be logical enough to get their brains around it.

Answer 6

I've been a victim of my own government for 30 yrs. It's all I can do to keep myself out of jail. Believe me, they don't listen to a word I say.

Answer 7

Absolutely not. The Islamic Jihadist are solely responsible for this and much of the other violence in the world.

Answer 8

NO. I NEVER VOTED FOR THIS PRESIDENT. 72% OF THE PUBLIC DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS PRESIDENT OR HIS HANDLING OF THE WAR IN IRAQ. HE'S ON HIS OWN, EXCEPT FOR A FEW POCKET SUPPORTERS HERE AND THERE ON Y!A.

Answer 9

YES

And I really dislike having the burden of Bush's guilt placed on America.

He highjacked the Constitution and has ruined our good name.

Go big Red Go

Answer 10

I don't. I can't help if my government was taken over by a right wing coup in 2000. What ever these opportunists who stole the WH for our fearless leader did over the past 6 years , I always opposed them at every turn. Those who actually supported Bush and continue to do so bear the responsibility.

Answer 11

Yes
And if all the neocon that have answered that it was like this before we invaded have no reason to stay now. If it was like this before, it will be like this after we leave.
