Why has America become so weak?

Question

A couple of weeks ago there was a rally with war veterans from the Iraq war marching out around Washington. They were having a rally because of how 3,000 soldiers have died in the Iraq war. Manyt people argue at Bush with this fact and people agree with them but in fact did you know that 600,000 of our soldiers died in World War 2 which was just as long as weven been in Iraq. I think that George Bush is the only one who relizes this along with all the other Republicans(considering the democrats make their beliefs the exact opposite of the republicans) relize this. Please I want to know where you stand. And if your going to respond dont call me and idiot only for 2 points i want to know why

Answer 1

The weakling effect is courtesy of the liberal, tree-hugging media, and liberal teaching in government schools.

My 12 year old son came home from school last week and told me that his "science" teacher made the class watch the film by Al Gore. He even made them take a test over it. All of the test questions were on how the election was "stolen" by President Bush and his brother in Florida.

He has also told me that the same "teacher" has told the class that the only way America will survive is by "kicking Bush out of office" and letting Hillary Clinton "save" this country with free health care.

This is why we are falling apart as a nation. Too many people have forgotten that Freedom is not FREE

Answer 2

The notion is this...War is the extreme of measure of a nation. All War are won before they're fought. That means extreme amount of planning and information gathering is done before the first bomb is dropped. Also you need the WILL OF THE PEOPLE behind you to go to War. The American People rallied around the President but when the facts proved that the President was wrong...we have become a divided nation. The opposition feels the President is at best a bumbler and at worst something sinister.

The Bad Part is now we have troops on the ground and divided country at home. Two things if the President would have actually served time in the Jungles of Vietnam instead of skipping out on Air National Guard Training, he may have the wisdom to think it through before his actions. Now ask yourself, who is enjoying this policy decision to go to War... are the Iraqi?, are the Americans?...The Answer is no one. It was a bad move made by someone who didn't think it through.

SO Remember the words of Theodore Roosevelt:

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

Answer 3

Actually, this is a good question. The main answer is that whatever republicans do, democrats want to do the opposite. Of course, on the other side, whatever democrats do, republicans want to do the opposite. Pelosi, Reid and the other democrats don't give a damn about how many soldiers they kill, as long as they can stand up and say that they are against the republicans. After all, no one in Washington really cares about us military.

Answer 4

if you think back way back when. and want to compare this war with either world war, the amount of causualties the U.S. suffered were a drop in the bucket to other countries like Russia that lost millions. the war in iraq is being griped and ripped by protesters not because of the amount of lives lost. its because anyone is dying at all. its not a numbers game. the fact that it was veterans of iraq protesting the war says a ton of things also. an interesting exit solution was brought up in an editorial the other day in USA Today suggesting that we allow a force of "mercenary" forces to support iraqi troops. i was floored to find out that we even had civilian military forces in iraq already

Answer 5

The Iraqi War has nothing to do with us. Iraq did nothing to us. Contrary to what your beloved president wants you to believe, there is absolutely no link between Saddam and Bin Laden. Sure, Hussein was an asshole to the Iraqis, but hell there are a lot of asshole leaders in the world. Look at Darfur, if our gov't really cared about humanity they would over there. This war was about some vendetta Bush had against Hussein. Whether we like it or not, Iraq was a lot better off under Hussein. At least, Iraqis could walk down the street without tripping over and IED when he was in power. Iraq is nothing but a lawless country caught in a civil war where the regional sheiks rule.

Answer 6

Lack of resolve.
Also in WWII even though we were experiencing heavy casualties, there was not a feeling of stagnation, as in Iraq.
Our press was thoughtful enough to even their reporting with positive stories.
In WWII when we took a city, it was a city that was liberated from foreign occupation, and they weren't radical Muslims, therefore keeping the peace wasn't like trying to calm a hornets nest.
Too many people don't see how critical our struggle with radical Islam really is.
Too many people don't understand what kind of snowball effect would come from abandoning Iraq to the most hateful and murderous people on Earth, who have every desire to exterminate America, Israel and Western Civilization.

Answer 7

I totally agree with you...the tree hugging, bleeding Liberals try to make it sound like we shouldn't be there when in all reality, Clinton didn't do his job when he was in office. They knew Iraq had weapons of mass destruction back then and were extremely concerned about the strength that it was gaining with their weapons, yet what action did they take? They did nothing, and Bush was just thrown in the midst of Clinton's bad Commaner in Chief decisions.

Check out the following quotes; maybe they might help you to understand:

ln the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security." -- Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002

The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow." -- Bill Clinton in 1998 (sic)

The debate over Iraq is not about politics. It is about national security. It should be clear that our national security requires Congress to send a clear message to Iraq and the world: America is united in its determination to eliminate forever the threat of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction." -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002 (sic)

These are direct quotes from all the liars! They are not mine.


I would much rather have the war in Iraq than here, and if we wouldn't have gone to Iraq to take care of business, we would be sitting in a war zone. Media is so Liberal that people are only hearing one side of this war...they don't seem to understand that we aren't at war for oil, but we are at war to protect our country's civilian population. We should be supporting our troops and our President during this time...can you imagine what the Iraqi people are saying about our divided country? They see it as a weakness!

Answer 8

Why would you consider Americans weak that don't believe in this war? What do we get if we "win" this war? A bunch of dead Americans. Even if only one American died in this war that is 1 too many. Terrorism is always going to be around no matter how many countries we invade or how many wars we "win". We that do not agree with this war are not weak, but strong. We have a strong compassion for our soldiers and their families who are the ones who suffer.

Answer 9

This is a war, soldiers die, people need to realize that. But we still need to greatly hold in high respect the soldiers that have died so far in the war on terror, if they were marching to pay their respects then i am all up for that. But this war is far less bloody then the majority of wars the US has been in.

Answer 10

Americans do not dare to ask questions and this is not helping. Saddam Hussein would had never helped the Taliban and Al Qaeda, but the Republicans helped them in the 1980s with out thinking about the future.
