Why do you feel that we can't stop the war?

Question

This isn't about war in general, this is about the war we are mixed up in right now! This isn't about human nature, this isn't about humans being unable to stop being a$$holes! This is about POLITICS!

WHY can't we STOP the war if we want it to stop?

This isn't about terrorism, this is about escalation and revenge! This is about killing and killing in retribution!! This is about being killed because of something someone else has done to someone else!

This was isn't about security! Its about INSECURITY!!!!

If we don't stop killing all of them because of what "some of them" did to us... they'll never stop coming.

I know I won't lay down when someone guns down my son, or daughter, or my husband, or mother because they were in the wrong place.

If we don't change what we're doing.... we're going to lose so much more than we think we already have. The thing is we don't know how much we've already lost. We don't even understand the damage we've already done to loved ones over there

Good choice for a name because Psycho is definitely what you are.

"We will teach their children how kind we can be, they already know how powerful we can be... almost like a god.
Who know maybe in time they will worship us as a Muhammad prophet, they seem to like warlords, it's the only thing they understand."

Wow! And creepy and ignorant too!!!

Answer 1

Because at present democracy is a lie. You have no control over your government except the control your government decides to let you have. The government wants the war, so the government shall have the war. The largest protests in human history happened before the start of the Iraq war - these protests were UTTERLY ignored. You cannot - CANNOT change the opinion of a government that doesn't want to listen, short of actually overthrowing them.

Answer 2

I'm tired of spineless politicians, both Democrat and Republican who lack the courage, fortitude, and character to see these difficult tasks through.

I'm tired of the hypocrisy of politicians who want to rewrite history when the going gets tough.

I'm tired of the disingenuous clamor from those that claim they 'Support the Troops' by wanting them to 'Cut and Run' before victory is achieved.

I'm tired of a mainstream media that can only focus on car bombs and casualty reports because they are too afraid to leave the safety of their hotels to report on the courage and success our brave men and women are having on the battlefield.

I'm tired that so many Americans think you can rebuild a dictatorship into a democracy over night.

I'm tired that so many ignore the bravery of the Iraqi people to go to the voting booth and freely elect a Constitution and soon a permanent Parliament.

I'm tired of the so called 'Elite Left' that prolongs this war by giving aid and comfort to our enemy, just as they did during the Vietnam War.

I'm tired of antiwar protesters showing up at the funerals of our fallen soldiers. A family who's loved ones gave their life in a just and
noble cause, only to be cruelly tormented on the funeral day by cowardly protesters is beyond shameful.

I'm tired that my generation, the Baby Boom -- Vietnam generation, who have such a weak backbone that they can't stomach seeing the difficult tasks through to victory.

I'm tired that some are more concerned about the treatment of captives than they are the slaughter and beheading of OUR citizens and allies.

I'm tired that when we find mass graves it is seldom reported by the press, but mistreat a prisoner and it is front page news.

Mostly, I'm tired that the people of this great nation didn't learn from history that there is no substitute for Victory.

Answer 3

So you don't like war unless it directly cause someone you know harm.
What's your point?
I think we should have more war, keep people in line.
We are the dominate force on Earth and we should keep it that way.
You don't mess with the bull unless you want the horns.
These terrorist messed with us now they see why they shouldn't have.
They made us come to them, we know who and where they live and breath.
Now it it up to us to teach them not to mess with us.
We will teach their children how kind we can be, they already know how powerful we can be... almost like a god.
Who know maybe in time they will worship us as a Muhammad prophet, they seem to like warlords, it's the only thing they understand.

Answer 4

I dont feel we cant stop the war. I just think its useless and unrealistic to expect the Congress to do it.

We have to vote REAL CHANGE into the White House in '08. Not another typical, slick, smug, vote-whore politician, but someone who tells the truth and will get us the hell of Iraq ASAP. But the reality is, until we do that, we're stuck in Iraq.

Answer 5

I think we could end this war really quick if we had generals who had balls and our president would turn them loose to use maxim force to destroy the will of the enemy to fight.
