Why are people still stuck on the war in Iraq?

Question

People go to war all the time why is it such a big deal now? 9/11 happened ok but people die all the time. We should be happy that they are in a much better place.

Lol I love posting questions like this because I like the raw honesty I receive. I have lost a boyfriend, best friends, and family members to this war. But think about this for a minute if you would. THEY DECIDED TO JOIN THE FREAKING ARMY. They knew the risks that would come out of it. So don't sit there and tell me people are dying because thats common sense. AND YEAH IT HURTS TO LOSE SOMEONE BUT THEY ARE IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE! The point is we need to fix the problems here in America.

Hey Armywife I'll go if you go lol. Those people don't want our help they want us to leave them alone. All this dying could be avoided if we just left. So don't cry and moan about it because it won't bring your husband back anytime soon.

Correct I am trying to get a rise out of people. My college homework assignment was to pick a topic that people feel strongly and potray it in a heartless manner to see to what people will to say. Heartless and cruel yes but the world is cruel and heartless too. So thanks for the help. I know my professor is gonna love reading these comments.

Answer 1

I think you enjoy getting a rise out of people, bu tall your doing is making yourself look ignorant. You can't really be that cold hearted. What a *****.

Answer 2

You must be very young to ask a question that history has already answered.

Some wars are good and some wars are bad... whether they are good or bad is never decided until many years later by historians.

This war is not about 9/11... 9/11 was deciding factor to start a war. This war is about a lot of things and I will not go into all of them because I do not want HATE email from anyone.

One thing you should know, the public only knows a part of what is going on. The news is tainted and the only people who REALLY know are there on both sides!

I have spoken to Marines and Sailors and some Army men and women who have been there.

I hope you never have to "know" war exists!

Answer 3

because people are dying.

because they feel that the government lied to them and the reason why we're in Iraq aren't valid

because they oppose anything that the current Republican government stands for

because they oppose anything that the current Democratic majority in the US government stands for.

because they are afraid.

because they are anti-Western civilization

because they are anti-USA

because they see this war as a continuity of the Crusades from the middle ages.

Because they have loved ones in the "big sandbox"

because they believe in their hearts that "violence solves nothing"

because they are anti-war

because they are pro-human rights and they feel that warfare of any kind denies citizens their basic human rights as espoused by a democratic society

because they don't know any better, and they follow the lead of someone they believe in regardless of whether or not the person is right, or truthful, or logical, or full of it.

because in the grand scheme of things the world is a much smaller place due to technology, modern infrastructure, and economic systems. Warfare disrupts the flow of things that make the world work.

Because in the history of Mankind is wrought with one group projecting it's will and desires upon another group violently.

Because this war is a conflict of national security.

Because this war is a conflict of ideology on a global scale

Because this war effects every aspect of life around the world on a level that most people can't see, or have bothered to figure out.

Because the World's largest economic entity is pouring BILLIONS of dollars into a industry and a area that is artificiallly inflating a marketspace that has unknown future projections if that continues.

I can go on, but I think you get the picture. There are a myriad reasons why people are still "stuck" on the war in Iraq.

Answer 4

Because more people will die. Maybe they go onto a better a place, maybe they didn't get a chance to fix what they wanted before they went on or maybe they were tortured or suffered great pain before they died. That doesn't sound like something you should just let go. I would rather everyone die happy, sound asleep in their beds or doing what they loved. People are dieing everyday and it is easy for you to sit here and say "So what, people die everyday". But what about the innocent Iraqi children and other people over their who don't want to be in the middle of all this. Do they not matter? What about the parents and children and wives of our own soldiers & marines. Do they not matter? They are suffering to and many of them don't get "the easy way out" of that situation. War sucks, terrorism sucks even more. Life is precious and we should all be worried about the people involved. I am sure if you were stuck over there and couldn't get out, you would be happy somebody was there trying to fight for you. It is awfully selfish and heartless to not care about people dieing for no good reason whatsoever. Take a trip to Iraq and let us know how you feel when you get back. Have a heart. I don't agree with being in war ever, but if they are going to be over there fighting for us and others than we need to feel for them and support them.

Answer 5

2 reasons.
First its the war that will never end. The white house is not smart enough to know that Iraq is not like the US where we try to get along when in Iraq there are several cultures that want to be #1 or fight. Only way to bring a end to war is divide the country into 2 separate countries.
Second we were lied to about reasons going there and now about how its getting better in Iraq when nothing has changed in the last 3 years. Our top general gave the same speech he did 3 years ago so is he saying nothing has changed?

Answer 6

Yes, people do die all the time. By accident, heart attack, suicide, or freak accident. Being murdered is another story, we capture and convict people who cold bloodly murder people. Why should this case be any different? We as a Country need to show terrorists that it is NOT ok to come over here and murder people. If we were not over in Iraq fighting for ourselves then it could be very possible that they would continue to come over here and we could even wind up at war here in America. I hate George Bush as much as anyone else does, but fighting the war is necessary. And no matter how evolved we are there will always be someone protesting the war. Its all a part of diversity.

Answer 7

err... people die all the time, but when people die so "multitudinously" ( Quoting Renaud in Count of Monte Cristo. What a word! multitudinously.) it becomes necessary to act.

As far as Iraq is concerned, people are still dying there in huge numbers, so its obvious that natural humanity or morbid curiosity makes people think and talk about it. Not to mention the fact that they are dying needlessly. O rater because of a diabolical plan. A man a plan an oil well... Sorry can't make up a palindrome

As you know, all flesh is grass, and sooner orlater, Saddy boy would have died or been assassinated like lots of dictators anyway.

Answer 8

War is a "big deal" & people will be stuck on the war in Iraq until those soldiers who are "stuck" over there get to come home. What happened on 9/11 was a tragedy & u shouldn't make light of that.

Answer 9

I'm not sure I understand your question. War has always been a big deal. I cannot think of one instance when our military has been involved that it has not been a big deal. Technically there is no war in Iraq as the President has already declared the war to be over. (ha!) It is a big deal though because our troops are over there dying for no real discernable reason other than mediating a civil war.

Answer 10

People are still "stuck" on it because it is still happening. It is a problem, and everyone wants to solve it. Even if you think war is no big deal, that still does not answer the question of how to manage this war, and what resources, including people, we should devote to it. Are you trying to suggest that nothing matters in this life? Even if we all believed that, we still have to make decisions as to how to get through each day.

Answer 11

There still need there man over there to help!
I wish this all would end too my husband is deployed over there right now! And i wish he would come home! But there are so many ppl over there right now! But i think the deployments are not gonna be so long anymore, for some ppl! But over there is still alot to do!

**When did i cry or moan? Im just saying what i hear in all those meetings there have missions over there, there have to do! I would say too that they should just leave them alone, but tell that Bush!**
