They are killing each other, and we are trying to maintain the peace. Saying that we are causing the death of innocent civilians by our presence alone, is like blaming the police for crime. It doesn't make any sense. If we sent troops into Darfur, to stop the killing that is taking place there (which I think we should) would our troops be blamed for civilian deaths there, as well?

That should have been: why do liberals keep making it seem like we, the US, are responsible for the civilian deaths in Iraq?

I'm not ranting. (Well, I am a little.) But I am genuinely curious how a reasonable person can say that we are killing innocent civilians, when we are being killed right along with them, by suicide bombers and the like.

OK, so let's say you're right, and we did cause a situation where a civil war broke out in Iraq. How can you possibly support leaving that country now - while so many people are dying? I just don't understand where you're coming from at all.

canada4ever444, I'm not saying that doesn't happen. But it is murder when it does. More than one US soldier has been convicted, and is currently serving time in prison for just such an act. This shouldn't reflect poorly on the entire effort. It should be encouraging that our Armed Forces are capable of policing themselves. (Please point me to an article, that describes the event you are talking about.)

First of All, where are the "Weapons of Mass destruction", can you answer me this. This was the main reason for war in Iraq. We did not find any weapons there so we have to suffer there. Maybe forever. Why did we start the war. Why our troops went over there. did they do there to spoil the billions of dollars that collected as tax from us.
They are not killing each other, our Armies are killing them. Why did we attack Iraq at the first place? Why was there a War. It was Iraq's internal matter and we were no one to decide the fate.
There cannot be peace untill we leave that place. Its the people of Iraq who will decide their own fate.

Wow there are just some "head in the sand, absolutely uneducated moronic answers on this one... Good job!
Lame isn't worth responding to as I have never seen him actually answer a question.
Libs think the whole world is "rosy" until we get involved. Did you know that there is absolutely NO crime in the world until we "infect" a country with our ideals? Really... seriously.
Libs think that our troops are a bunch of mindless murdering morons who can't tell the difference between a civilian and a terrorist. Oh but you betcha they support our troops... thats the "PC" thing to say. Of course if they finish that statement it would be... "We support the troops being spat on, being called killers and running away".
And what is this CRAP that citizens were not dying before we got there? I guess to libs 300,000 Kurds aren't people? Or the thousands of mass graves we found... what were they? Just props for a movie? I suppose we were responsible for the Holocaust as well? If we would have just ran away from Hitler rather than making a stand... they wouldn't have killed the Jews. Hitler was a good guy until WE entered the war.
I am so sick of the morinic statements these libs make. GET A LIFE! And hey... enjoy the freedom our men and women provide for you. You WOULD NOT have had it in Iraq before we got there.
Want peace....

The U.S. has located some 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003 with more likely to be found, according to two Republican members of Congress trumpeting a newly declassified portion of a government report.
"We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons," Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said at an afternoon news conference.
Does that clear it up for you?
Dang... got a little cranky on this one.... my appologies!

it incredibly is probably going one in all the techniques of the antiwar schedule types. they can't appropriate equate the majority dying toll to the extremely reason by way of fact it does not benefit that reason. to establish that the rabid antiwar circulate to succeed u . s . could be made to look like an evil aggressor in all issues. This grew to become into the strategy they used effectively for the duration of Vietnam and it incredibly is the comparable schedule they're pursuing right this moment. a minimum of the region you discovered looks to have a incredible style, a lot of those human beings declare 5 and 6 circumstances that style of deaths and lay it on the ft of the USA. i'm not against human beings incredibly expressing dissent against the war even whilst i don't believe them, yet there is not something straightforward approximately all those claims. ultimate suggestion is to ignore approximately it as ineffective one sided rhetoric.

Well if Bush had not invaded Iraq in the first place over lies, then there would not be nearly 4,000 dead U.S. Troops, 25,000 U.S. Troops injured or maimed, and 265,000 dead Iraqis.
By the way there were no WMDs in Iraq, thanks a lot George Bush!

Doing so helps their agenda to have their candidate elected to the White House in the next election, manipulating the uninformed to get votes, and control of the government. Socialism is their main agenda, not the truth or freedom. They know they won't get Universal Health-Care, with a Conservative in office, for one. For no other reason. It makes no difference to a Liberal if they lie to get what they want. They prove it everytime they mislead the uneducated.

Lets see we drop bombs on wedding parties
We bomb suspected houses with women and children in them
Collateral damage in a war is acceptable
Soldiers going crazy and shooting civilians
We invaded their country and it's their fault we are killing them

actually you ARE killing them. Machine gunning entire rooms of people. Try actually reading news, rather than making things up

The chaos there is deliberate. The war is 100% due to Cheney's lust for power and oil. Saddam sucked, sure, but there weren't daily bombings in the streets. People (including women) had jobs, electricity, clean water, and no radiation from depleted uranium making them (and our soldiers) sick.
