Could the American people ever acknowledge that their Goverment is wrong about Iraq?

Question

or is it my country right or wrong?

Answer 1

Where have you been? Many people in America think the war is wrong.

Answer 2

Logically, the best way to win the wider war is to divide the enemy and set them one against the other, wait until the strongest faction surfaces then cut off it's head and burn the body.

Logically, the best place to start was Iraq, a nation cobbled together consisting of every faction with which we may have trouble.

Hopefully, when faced with destruction at the hands of their brethren, they will gather their senses and come to an agreement on peace and cooperation. There are some signs this may be beginning to happen and much earlier than I would have believed. Regardless, after putting this plan in action, in our heart, we know that we must do what we can to protect innocents from actions taken by our common enemies.

We have magnanimously given Islam one chance, unselfishishly spending our precious military personel and fortune waiting on them to get their act together, to weed out the enemy within, or we will be forced to.

It's very difficult for waves of escorted B-52's, B-2's and B-1's to descriminate while carpet bombing. The French can attest to that as we strived to eliminate the evil in their midst in 1945.

In a way, Iraq is very lucky. They have a unique opportunity to show the American people and the rest of humanity that Muslims can live in peace with one another, much less with the rest of us.

After 9/11, a lot of Americans were ready to level the whole region. including Mecca. Luckily, for many nations in the region, cooler heads prevailed.

How about this? Can Muslims around the world who do not agree with the nuts in their midst acknowledge that attacking America was a very stupid thing to do?

For those that believe suicidal attacks work on Americans, I suggest they talk to the Japanese. The end result was and is the same. It pisses us off and makes us do crazy things, like going nuclear.

The future of Islam is strictly in the hands of Islam. Unite with us or against us. The choice is theirs and theirs alone. We are patiently awaiting the answer, but our patience is not endless. Whether we leave behind a peaceful region or a wasteland is not up to us.

I'm positive about one thing. An Islamic martyr can't kill anybody again, which is no way to win a long war and martyrdom is littered with lost causes.

Answer 3

The way the war has been waged has been wrong, but the war itself was justified. Iraq and the world are better off now that Saddam and his sadistic sons are dead and buried. It's a very small but well armed insurgency that is wreaking havoc in Iraq. Take away the ambushes and road side bombs, and no Iraqis would be dieing. And no Americans and no Brits.

Answer 4

there is no longer something incorrect with the yank government. in basic terms with the USA of a central authority. and a few simply by fact the trees (all of them) the cheneys and rumsfelds, communicate of the imbalance of ability if and whilst Iran produces a neuclear bomb, yet conceal the certainty of Israels possession of a hundred and fifty neuclear weapons - and that's no longer an imbalance of ability?? the USA of a central authority don't desire a non violent international-- for there isn't any earnings there. remember 1942 and Pearl Harbour?? And that throughout the time of the 1930´s there became mass unemployment pronounced as the melancholy. And after the attack on PH by utilising Japan ( or became it relatively US dressed as Japs?-- such as "the Boston Tea occasion), unemployment without notice disappeared. by the way- whilst Arab is distinctive does this relatively recommend Muslim? For there are Muslim international locations that own neuclear weapons.

Answer 5

Only history will tell if America was right or wrong about Iraq.

If freedom spreads throughout the middle east, and our alliances with Iraq & Afghanistan deter an attack from Iran, then I would say we have been successful.

But any number of things could happen.

Answer 6

The government is not wrong about Iraq. Neither are the American people. But I understand the point you are making. That the war is nowhere near as unpopular with the American people as the media-complex wants you to believe.

Answer 7

3/4 of the US population KNOW that the Bush Junta screwed to pooch on Iraq. I'll bet that a lot of the 1/4 just don't want to admit it. My country is right, it's George Bush and his posse of cold war retreads that sucked us into this mess. Another adminisration like this bunch of bums and you can kiss the USA goodbye. All that will be left is the name.

Answer 8

The war was against absolutist control of Iraq; not against Iraq.

Saddam was a ruthless dictator who lost fair-square in a war, then repeatedly broke the conditions of the Armistice.

It is folly to allow dictators to be exempt from contractual obligations. Funny how the French and much of socialistic Europe didn't learn this, since they were the brunt of this same folly in the 1940's...but then, many of their leaders were on the "oil for food" take...

Answer 9

This American veteran says the government is right about the Iraq war..and at least I have put my butt on the line before opening my yap.

Can't say that's true about the majority of the liberals that post here.

Answer 10

If by "my country" you are talking of the President, I have been saying that he is wrong for a long time. Yes, I am an American so perhaps you lump too many people into too small a mold.

Answer 11

That depends entirely on which members of the government you're talking about, which also means that it depends on which part of the government's policy on Iraq you mean.
