It certainly didn't 'make it better' for those who DIED though did it?
Unless there truly is a "better place" which may really be just a myth.

oh please
it was a legitimate question.
and I have read many history books which are mainly revisionist type recapitulations -- even the Encyclopaedia Britannica has differing, conflicting historical facts within their volumes.
So pease, do not question my intelligence. Question your own for believing everything you WANT to believe silly.
Did war really"make it better?"
or was there also a better choice?
You believe what YOU want to believe and I will think things through and believe what I want to believe.
Fair enough?
if not, continue being silly.

If you think you know with 100% certainty that any of the wars we are fighting are unnecessary, then you are a fool. Intelligent people know that when threatened, the best chance of winning is to put up a fight. Lesser men sit behind computer screens claiming intellectual superiority and the certainty that there is no threat, and turn a blind eye to other men doing their fighting and dying for them. If you don't have any first-hand knowledge and you don't want to go get any, the least you can do is have some respect for the people with the balls to do it for you.

If you were being attacked on the street, I wouldn't intervene. You would think it foolish if I were to risk death to save you. Maybe the bad guy could come after me next, but then again, while he's kiling you I can run away.

Most of the country doesn't want to be in Iraq (70%) and George Bush doesn't care. They aren't dying for the country. They are dying for George Bush!
There was no reason to attack Iraq. Osama wasn't there and Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11!
There have been a lot of people who died for nothing. Go look at the 58, 229 names on the black wall they call the Vietnam Memorial! Can anyone tell me why they died?
We know why they are dying in Iraq! OIL!

Wow you are either not an American or you have never picked up a history book.
People have died for your freedom to say the aweful things you say. They have fought bravly so you can insult them without fear of being imprisoned.
Try saying what you are saying about Castro in Cuba or Ahmedinajah in Iran. They will kill you before you finish the sentance.

It depends on the war. The sham in Iraq no its a dishonorable death because we are the aggressors. WWII on the other hand i would be very proud of a loved one if they served their country honorably and died in noble service.
ADDITION I'm sorry i re read over that and it might make me sound a bit harsh let me restate this. The soldiers of ours in Iraq aren't dishonorable the war is a sham and is wrong but they died fighting what their country told them to do and that's not wrong. They fight and fight bravely and sadly enough most over there dont have access to the internet or normal news and have no idea whats going on . Im sure most of them still think they are fighting for 9/11.

depends...,
yes, if your sacrifice got good things done for the country!
no, if for example we run away from Iraq without getting the job done there like the liberals and democrats want to do!
also think of this:
"one one has won a war by dying for his country, but by making the other fool die for his country.."

Question of greater good i guess, or lesser of 2 evils. Would u rather die fighting so your countrymen have a chance for freedom? Or die later when your country is taken over coz noone is willing to fight and the invaders rape loop plunder and starve the populace?

Correct...dying for your country is the stupidist thing you can do. If you really love your country....you would deny military service and not support the B.S. illegal invasions on Bush & Cheney's Agenda!
