What do Americans feel about?

Question

Dubya and his believing that they should still remain in Iraq, or just him in general?

Libsticker don't try and read my mind as you do not know me. We refer to him as Dubya the same as we called Tony , Bliar and the Queen as Queeny or Lizzy, and M. Thatcher ,The Iron Lady. Lighten up

I just want your thoughts not your judgments of me as I am just asking out of curiosity and do not have an agenda.I should not even have to write this.

Oldschooldude5 I presume the "you" you are referring to is me.How come you know me so well by my just asking a question? You are so wrong.

And thank you for calling me youthful

Answer 1

I think our president is a disappointment and a puppet for big business, the ultimate "special interest group." However, maligning our president and going after him as an individual is symptomatic of aggressive, immature, uninformed and intolerant thinking.

If only it were as easy as simply getting out of Iraq. Whether you like Americans or despise them, whether you enjoy our culture (which frankly, most of the world does whether they want to admit it, or not) is nothing compared to the fact that 300 million citizens have the right to be protected from threats from abroad and at home.

If the European world, dripping with avarice while sitting in those crowded cafés, doesn't find being American fashionable, so be it.

Everytime you cast aspersions on 300 million people you reveal yourself to be a vulgar racist nationalist, the very thing you hold against my fellow countrymen.

Your hypocrisy and enthusiasm for double standards is merely indicative of your own shallowness and addiction to possessions and fads.

It's fashionable to be anti-American today. What will be fashionable tomorrow and will you pursue that fashion, or will the newness of your relative youth have worn off by then and you have a modicum of depth and tolerance in your person?

*Edit 1*
You're welcome. I don't know you, at all, of course. Based on the content of your question and your need to respond 2x, however, I still wouldn't bet the family estate that I'm "all wrong," now would I?

Answer 2

At this point, and as badly as I hate to admit it, we don't have very many options now other than staying at least until the Iraqi forces are ready to take over. It is my belief that the Bush Administration has gotten everything they were striving to accomplish in Iraq. A US position smack in the middle of the Middle East, permanent bases, an oil pipeline across Afghanistan, with permanent bases to protect it there, and we can keep a close eye on the Arab states from where we are perched in Iraq and Afghanistan.
No, we should never have gone in. We were lied to and misled, but that doesn't change the facts on the ground now. If we pull out completely, the "advantages" of occupation will disappear. Also, it irks me that the US has become an imperialist nation, but I am only one person. I will vote for the person in our election who says they will do the right thing and leave Iraq to the Iraqis. Right now, that is Dennis Kucinich. I believe all the other candidates, with the possible exception of Ron Paul, will remain in Iraq for the foreseeable future.
In general, I think Bush has accomplished what he set out to accomplish. I believe people underestimate his intelligence and propensity for doing the wrong thing in most cases. Bush sees the world through purely subjective lenses.I am diametrically opposed to practically everything he stands for. It is to be hoped that the American people, in my opinion, will come to their senses in the next election and vote against anyone agreeing with our current foreign and domestic policies.

Answer 3

Whatever the American public choose to say or think there will be no pulling out of Iraq .if it was an option why have billions been spent on building the American Embassy and military bases while the majority of iraqis don`t even have clean water ,more than a coupe of hours electricity a day and according to every humanitarian organisation thats been working there are on the brink of a humanitarian crisis with the majority of the people now suffering from malnutrition

Answer 4

Iraq: The biggest waste of money ever.

Bush: My mother always told me that if I have nothing nice to say, don't say anything.

Respect must be earned and that does not mean earning it by becoming the President of the United States. Bush has done nothing to earn respect.

Answer 5

The entire war on terror issue is terribly complicated. Many of our foreign policy decisions over the years have created problems we deal with now.
The Muslim world is still stuck in a culture that existed a 1,000 years ago. They can't handle modern ideas, but they sure love modern technology to kill people with.
Bush has a difficult job to deal with all these aspects of the world. Simpletons think we should just say nice things to the barbarians and all will be well.

Answer 6

Iraq is the worst foreign policy decision, maybe, in U.S. history. I blame both partys, not just the Bush administration, as, there was ample evidence back then by the DIA and CIA that Iraq posed no serious threat. We also should have been more patient with the U.N. sanctions and inspections of facilities in Iraq.

But, fact is, we invaded a troubled region.

Now, we are there, and 4 years later, it is a mess, but really, no matter, we are there. Should we leave, chaos will ensue, and it is hard to imagine Al Qaeda and enemy factions, THAT CONSIDER US AN ENEMY and given the chance, will attack us with anything they can bring.

All told, shouldn't we stick this out, even knowing it was a snafu and fubar beyond comprehension?

Answer 7

Isn't it obvious by now? He sucks as a president and can't make one good choice.

Answer 8

I would be fine if George W. wanted to stay behind in Iraq while sending the rest of the troops home. As Iraq's 'liberator', I'm sure that they would treat him well....wouldn't they?

Answer 9

I believe you are speaking of President Geroge W. Bush, am I correct? I feel he is doing a tremendous job of keeping this country safe, with the finest military and intelligence in the world. We have to remain in Iraq until the job there is completed. He has boosted our economy and our individual freedoms. He will go down in history as a great and honorable man!

Answer 10

Well when you address the President as Dubya, I can see where you are going with this. You will give best answer to the person that retorts the most misaligned statement to the President. Well sorry honey, he has a tough job to do, and we just celebrated 6 years of no terror attacks on US soil which is remarkable. So I give the President a thumbs up, and the men and women who have done the job in protecting us.
