I know this war is very unpopular right now and that many do not understand it due to its unusual nature. But I think that in the decades and centuries to come, this war will be remembered as the noblest of endeavors in which one nation sacrificed for the freedom of another.
Future generations of Iraqi's, if they remain free, will look back upon the U.S. and allies' sacrifices with respect and gratitude, just as today's Japanese honor their former military opponent General Douglas MacArthur.
Just my thoughts.
Yours?

Like "FRENCH INDO-CHINA" aka VIET NAM, the future is dependent upon the ways conducted,and who "wins". ( the winner is typically the one victorious AFTER the other side / forces capitulate !)
In the case of the Iraqi Fundamentalist Mu slums, I believe that as long as there is ONE LEFT ALIVE, THEY WILL NEVER GIVE UP !!! For them, to die fighting "the infidels", is a guarantee of a seat with Allah(their God) !!!
I have worked in the middle east, was there in the mid - late 1950's, in the US Army Security Agency, and as a civilian in the "6 day war", June, 1967 !! The 6 day war, actually lasted about 18 hours!!! I WAS THERE !!!!!! It took the remaining 4 1/2 days for the Arabs to admit that Israel had defeated them !!!!!
The future is not easily viewed, at this time. Only time will tell.

Just my opinion? Ok, you know what happen to the Vietnam war? Since it ended it was called the war that the US lost.
What do you think the war in Iraq will be called? Are you so sure that the people of Iraq will remember us as noble?
I'm not a big fan of Saddam Hussein, but when he was in charge there were less Iraqis that died of insurgence that bombed them, then they do now after Saddam was executed. More and more Iraqi children have PTSD than our service members.
Don't get me wrong, I support our troops, I myself is a veteran and so does my boyfriend. But this war is not gonna get remembered as a war that we sacrificed our life for someone's freedom.
The best freedom is the one that you fight for yourself, not the one that some one else tells you you have or brings you to your door.

Not likely. In the future, people will remembr this as the beginnings of a war of societies. One that turns a beautiful religion into a killing machine and one that fosters and respects life at all costs. This is the defining moment of our generation.

it will be seen like other imperialist invasions throughout history. one country is greedy, and conquers and oppresses another people to steal their resources.
I have no idea what other country's freedom you are referring to. Certainly not Iraq, where the US has imprisoned and tortured thousands, and imposed a puppet government. No one in their right mind would call foreign occupation freedom.

As a complete disaster for the USA.
Is that why you're not over there fighting in it?

That depends on weather or not we are allowed to win. The victors write the history books.
