The war...What are we fighting for? Is there a reason and if so why is it taking so long to end?...It's like..

Question

we just love war. Lets end this crap....who's with me?

Answer 1

I'm not. I think you are completely uneducated on the subject, and of course since this is America you have a right to speak your mind, no matter how uneducated it is. We are there for a VERY good reason. Saddam Hussein was a terrorist. We started a war on terror. Yes, we went there with the belief that they had weapons of mass destruction, but they did not. That doesn't make Saddam any less of a terrorist. That's why were are there. And it's taking so long because there are so many insurgents and people that are against the new way of life we are trying to give them.

Answer 2

You ask "what are WE fighting for". How long have you been fighting? Love war? I don't know anyone who loves war but sometimes that is the only thing that will stop bad guys. Halliburton sells components for oil drilling, they don't own oil. So Halliburton isn't making any money off high gas prices directly. As for Bush, Saddam did try to kill his father and I would include the attempted assassination of any ex-president by a dictator an act of war. As for ending it, how about you start saying why don't we WIN it. The choice is this; one faction will win and have to adopt the culture of the other. Do you want to have to wear a beard, have your women in burkas, gays will be slaughtered, women who have sex outside of marriage will be stoned to death, Jews... well you don't want to know what they will do with the Jews. They don't even considered them people or us. Throat slitting is used for the slaughter of animals and infidels. If we win what will happen to muslims? Nothing.

Answer 3

demonsgirl8 16 stated the obvious: "....we started a war on terror..." which is exactly the truth. WE started a 'war on terror' because for sixty years we've been trying to bully the world into getting our way. WE represent 5% of the world's population, yet squander 55% of the world's resources. WE only get involved in global circumstances that are in OUR nation's 'best interests'.
WE are not in Iraq to bring democracy to that war-wretched nation that's had internal squabbles for 1400 years. WE are in Iraq for three really 'lame' reasons:
1) The Bush family had a personal vendetta against Saddam Hussein ever since Desert Storm when George H.W. Bush was criticized, ridiculed and humiliated for 'not finishing the job' and ousting Hussein at that time;
2) Dick Cheney wants all that OIL swimming underneath Iraq's sands so he and his Exxon-Mobil buddies can get richer and richer and richer feeding America's addiction to cheap, easily-accessible foreign OIL;
3) Ever since World War II, the giant U.S. military-industrial complex recognized how profitable 'war' could be. So it bought up all the politicians, hired pricey lobbyists and formed special interest groups to encourage and promote more 'war'. Thus the U.S. was involved in the Korean Conflict; the Cuban Missile Crisis; the Cold War; Vietnam and Desert Storm. A 'new' war was necessary to boost the profits of companies like Lockheed-Martin, McDonnell-Douglass and Sikorsky, and to enrich the profits of the two newest government contractors: the Carlyle Group and Halliburton, both whom have direct ties to the Bush-Cheney White House.
We will be in Iraq for decades, if not generations - until we have sucked all of the OIL from its sands. Why else would we be building the largest embassy in the world on a 104-acre site in downtown Baghdad overlooking the offices of the 'new' Iraqi puppet government installed by the Bush administration?
WE started this 'war on terror' - and the rest of world is tired of being shoved around by a big bully. So they're starting to fight back....and, eventually, WE will be put in our place just as every schoolyard bully always is. -RKO- 06/03/07

Answer 4

This war is necessary. There are a lot of things we are fighting for, and when its eventually over everything will be for the better. Wars take a long time to end. The revolution, WW1, WW2, Nam, they take a long time. You can't just end war, it isn't that simple. Everyone thinks that if we just pull out, everyhting will be back to normal. It won't, the terrorists are like the Japanese, they bomb for honor. THey get more honor dead than alive, so if we pull out, we'll be seen as weak. Then they will continue to bomb us, and it will start all over again. Just look at the new york airport terror scare...

Answer 5

if you are mentioning the war in Iraq, I think you should know though war is bad, the US , i mean Mr. Bush, has been having the right to start that war. I would surely do the same thing if I were him. If any of you want to know why, contact me via my email: [e-mail]

"There are no Winners in War, Never was Never will be"........Wars or Police Actions or Conflicts are primarily for profiteering and enriching the haves and have mores. Certain individuals in Government and the private sector enrich themselves at other Peoples expense.. Lost lives and injured and disabled people and property are not taken into consideration or cared about by such People...Its all about Power and Wealth$$$$$$$$$$...There are other solutions to resolving human conflicts........

Because those idiots can't get it through their heads that all the need to do is behave for a few months and we would leave.
