there are pros and cons to this situation. for the pros, the war in iraq is to bring justice in place. or more like bringing order back into the country, but then the US were the ones who started the chaos. in the midst of it all, the war got rid of the dictator who killed anyone standing in his path.
for the cons, after the dictator died, it started causing riots and a potential fight for power and to be independent due to different religious beliefs. the country is now on the borderline of turning into some sort of a civil war. and the US is right smack dab in the middle. another con, is that hundreds maybe thousands.(i dunno for sure) of US troops are dying. and nothing is calming down. plus many of the innocent citizens of iraq are also dying because of the religious leaders fighting. and as far as i'm concerned nothing much has been done to bring order. so that's all i have in mind.

The war in Iraq was a terrible and immoral idea, and it is going as badly as most terrible and immoral ideas go. The war has caused a hundred thousand people to die who had every right to continue their lives.
Life in Iraq before the war wasn't great - but it was decidedly better before some pinheads decided to play SimCity with a real living, breathing populace, inadvertently unleashing a brutal civil war and insurgency.

No. But neither did Guadalcanal, until 1943. The potential consequences of failure in Iraq are mind-boggling, and could make 9/11 look like a Sunday school picnic.

We lost a brother and the son of our cousin, I HATE this war, and I just heard on the news that 6 more are dead from a road side bombing!!!
There is NOTHING anyone can say to me that will make me feel that this war is "for the better and protection" of our country!

Going well for who? Halliburton's making a mint on it, so it's going good for them. Going great for the Saudis, and other countries, because all the hotheads are running off to fight the Am-rikans. Going lousy for just plain folk on the streets of Bagdad and some other cities, because your odds of surviving a trip to the Qwik-Mart over there are peobably only as good as surviving the D-Day landings... lousy for our troops there, because even when they come back alive and unwounded, they'll likely be emotionally scarred from all the s* they wind up seeing there, going great for the gunslingers and hotheads over there though, they get to stay drugged up all day, shoot anyone they feel like as much as they like, it's probably paradise on earth for some of those crazies...

The war in Iraq is not going well, it is a waste of lives. We went over there to find hidden weapons, none were found. We should have gotten out of there then!

Yes, in fact it is going very well.

Did you ever wonder why the kind of guerrilla/terrorism warfare that worked so well in Vietnam and Asia fails in Industrialized nations and has mediocre results in the Middle East?
Industrialized nations are formed from risk takers, people willing to make mistakes and learn from them, this creates innovation.
Asia is generally a much older society, is less tolerant of mistakes (Japan so much more so) and therefore is less likely to innovate. These societies are excellent at looking at what has worked and then copying and improving on them.
The Middle East tends to be a little of both, innovative and a very mature society with little tolerance of "mistakes". As a result the society generates innovators who find very little acceptance in their society for innovation which gives birth to a group of very frustrated people.
Democracy gives an open forum for innovative people to act on their ideas even in a mature society that has little tolerance for mistakes. See Japan again. Democracy, Terrorism, Innovation in a society with little tolerance for mistakes.
Your opinion of the war in Iraq is probably based on a very simplistic view of societies without having taken the time to appreciate the differences in cultures.
Maybe from morons on the nightly news or blogs who have a limited political agenda that does not recognize any thing good in any culture but their own?

You really need to ask that of the troops that are serving there.
There's a reason why they volunteer to return for second and third tours of duty. Talk to them, and you'll find that things are going well in most parts of Iraq, and the Iraqi people are grateful to have us there.
On Independence Day, more than ever, we remember that freedom comes with a high cost.
Religious beliefs?
How about socio-political beliefs !

war or vengeance has never been the profess of the Bible. true christians keep away from that, as Jesus demonstrated by restoring a hacked ear remember?
whether America or Iraq, they are on their own ways independent of Gods divine directions.

All wars have been the result of our insanity.
We have killed so many innocent people in the name of justice , peace or national dignity
In Iraq same thing is going on,
When we are insane , we cant hear the sounds of conscience.
