Would the world be better off or worse off if America lost in Iraq!?

Answer 1

Much worse.

A loss there would show the world that the United States is unwilling to do whatever it takes to win. I love Pres. Ronald Reagan and consider him one of the greatest presidents in our history, but him leaving Beirut after the Marine barracks bombing started showing terrorists that the US has no taste for blood and can be bullied out of anything.

There are countries out there, and groups out there, that are willing to do whatever it takes to win. Take our nuclear weapons. The reason they exist is so that they are not to be used. We use them, everyone is dead. Someone else uses them, everyone is dead. BOTH sides.
Do they work as a deterrent if one side is unwilling to use them at all? Could a nation, like China, force the US to surrender with use of a single weapon against a target like Hawaii, where it is an attack on US soil, but doesn't disrupt the infrastructure of the US?

We have lost what it takes to be a world leader. We lack the will.

Answer 2

America "won" in Iraq after 3 days of fighting.

What is going on now is a futile attempt to create security in a land of religious extremists and insurgents who are not afraid to die, while an inept and fearful pseudo-government struggles to come up with any type of plan or proactive step to create a viable country.

Keeping our troops there in large number is merely a face saving campaign by those who instigated this mess. The Bush team is trying their best to temporarily lower the monthly casualty rate using a temporary surge so that when democrats take control and pull out of Iraq they can say for the rest of eternity that we were starting to improve things and it was the democrat's fault that Iraq became a failed state.

Answer 3

This reminds me of questions like ¨ Are you going to stop beating your wife?¨ Only yes/no answers accepted.

1.I would argue that you are not asking the right question.

2.The world was better off BEFORE we invaded Iraq.

3. To all intents and purposes we have not won in Iraq so perhaps that means we have lost.

Answer 4

Should America fail to stabilize Iraq, with or without assistance, more war follows.

The answer is worse.

Answer 5

I'll ask you a question....If America lost in Iraq, how COULD the world be better off?

You're right, no, if America loses any war, the world will NEVER be better off. America supports other countries, financially, and mentally. If we lose, we can't protect the rest of the world, as we always do, with little complaint, even without support.

I ask to France, what language do you speak again? It isn't German or Japanese, is it? You're f welcome!

Answer 6

I'm amazed that anyone even has to ask this question. Just look at what happened in Southeast Asia when the libs forced America to withdraw; millions lost their lives. The world would be far worse for this and Iran would be the big winner. Next stop for this train: the end of days.

Answer 7

humorous which you may ask why the U.S. government hasn't fixed our healthcare gadget. they are the only's who broke it, via substantial firms, beginning up with Henry J Kaiser who provided scientific coverage in lieu of better pay, years have surpassed, and now it is seen as an entitlement. We did not have scientific coverage while i replaced into transforming into up. If we mandatory to be certain a doctor, we went to be certain a doctor, and paid a useful cost for the provider. With coverage, maximum persons have not have been given any thought what their coverage business enterprise is paying for that surgeon circulate to. certain, it is plenty extra advantageous than the surgeon may cost if he certainly had to compete on your business enterprise. i may well be extra in prefer of restructuring scientific coverage to conceal purely substantial wellness expenses, and having recurring surgeon visits exchange into an out of pocket fee, and to assist offset that cost have guy or woman wellness rate reductions debts with the comparable tax advantages as IRA's, as much as a definite volume.

Answer 8

If we won? What would constitute winning? We unseated Saddam and yet we are still there. They had Democratic elections, and ye we are still there. They have built their own military and yet we are still there. What is the objective?

Answer 9

We lost the day we invaded and continue to lose in the eyes of many in the world the longer we stay. Does anyone really think we are going to change the middle-east with our military?

Answer 10

American cannot 'win' in Iraq.
Militarily, America will maintain a presence in Iraq for decades - perhaps even generations - until we've sucked all of the OIL from Iraq's sands.
That's why we're building the largest embassy in the world on a 104-acre site in downtown Baghdad, overlooking the 'new' Iraqi puppet government installed by the Bush administration.
That's why Halliburton is building fourteen (yes -14!) new permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq.
That's why Bush's number-one non-military 'benchmark' forces the Iraqi Parliament to pass a law surrendering up to 2/3rd of Iraq's oil fields to foreign, private oil companies, which extorts control of Iraq's primary economic resource away from the Iraqi government. **
Anyone who honestly believes we're 'in' Iraq to bring democracy to that nation is naive. Anyone who assumes we're there to establish peace in the Middle East is sadly mistaken. Anyone who thinks we're 'in' Iraq defending out borders against 'terrorists' from an unknown 'evil empire' is incredibly gullible.
We're 'in' Iraq for OIL and WAR PROFITEERING. The Bush administration has lied to Congress, hoodwinked the American people and conned our valiant U.S. troops into believing there was honorable purpose behind the attack of another sovereign nation that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the United States.
675,000 Iraqis and 3,800 U.S. soldiers have died so that a handful of wealthy elitists, industrialists and power brokers can become wealthier and more powerful.
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and all their war-mongering friends should be shuffled off to a special oil-soaked, blood-stained corner of Hell for their shameful and sinister deception. Among those joining them in Hell should be:
* 535 members of the most arrogant, incompetent, greedy, evil, contemptible, cowardly, corrupt Republican-led Congress in history that stood by and allowed Bush to violate our U.S. Constitution - and -
* 535 members of the most arrogant, incompetent, greedy, evil, contemptible, cowardly, corrupt Democratic-led Congress in history that promised to end this vile war if elected, and - to date - has done absolutely nothing to keep that promise. MAY GOD DAMN THEM ALL!!!
America cannot 'win' this immoral, repugnant, illegal, unconstitutional, unjustifiable 'war'. Nor can it 'lose' a 'war' that is nothing more than a shameful sham on the Iraqi and American people. -RKO- 10/07/07
