Is the War in Iraq?

Question

Im taking a poll, is the war in Iraq a bad thing, or is it useful and nessesary.

is it just a story that Fox and CNN exaggerated?

Answer 1

It's bad, really bad and it's a historic blunder that US has committed in spite of all the lessons of modern warfare it has gained over the decades! Here you can't get engaged forever to maintain the law and order of a state (which is the duty of local police!) and in no way it's the duty of US military to do it in a far away sovereign nation, killing their army and the people! Do you feel right that US has to educate and improve the living of Iraq, this way for years to continue? In what way it is essential and duty bound to run the war and engage the military in this way to pull the nation down by draining the funds in hundreds of billions of dollars while 40 million people are officially confirmed to live under poverty by the US government?

You have the great problem of 18 million illegal immigrants for which you do not have a solution, what is the point finding a solution for a far away Iraq to fool the nation, totally? When you did not find the 'weapons of mass destruction' in Iraq, who the hell on earth told you to stay and kill more people, depose the President and his family, (Calling Saddam Hussein as dictator is 100 % bogus, since the USA gave arms and ammunition and funded 10 years to Saddam to fight the war with Iran in which also a million people were killed and he is the pure creation of America only! ) install a puppet government and run everything so mad and call still to get 4000 troops to be killed and 20,000 to live maimed and a 500,000 Iraqis are killed while one million is maimed plus a million to die in hunger plus 500 billions USD federal spending and still Bush is demanding more for the Iraq tangle cutting funds for people welfare, where is the end in sight? Even the best and the intelligent 10 boys and girls in the final year of school in the USA can debate, discuss and can decide better than the American Congress, is irrefutable!

Tell me, when US invaded Iraq under the pretext of finding the WMDs and to dismantle them, was there any plan to kill Saddam, his family, and to occupy the nation so long and to do all things to this level was in the AGENDA? Did Bush inform the people first on any of these measures? In fact the US people in general do not bother about their politics of the nation as we see hardly 50 % vote in the Presidential election!

The people were fooled and defrauded for thousand of billions of dollars in all the military engagements of US from the end of WWII and also on the defense spending for production and research too, all in the name of saving the US interests in home and worldwide! No doubt the day is not far away for the collapse of US economy when some one worse than George Bush takes that seat!

************************************************************
I must answer to PL this way:

If Saddam Hussein is a dictator and if the USA takes that granted that it has the right to wage a war, send 300,000 troops and depose him with massive loss of men and material to this day, what the hell it was doing when the democratically elected President of Pakistan was deposed ,arrested and jailed by a military general Musharaff? In fact USA has supported and backed this rogue state which trained and sent terrorists, 10,000 of them to kill 60,000 innocent men, women and children in India! I did not add the dead and injured in the hundreds of serial bomb blasts all over India, designed, planned and executed by ISI (equivenet to your CIA) of Pakistan for which US did not even condemn or protest, in spite evidence of Pakistan's involvement, to the US Government!

George Bush and Company, could not digest and accept the twin tower blasts of 9/11 and the Pentagon blast by the terrorists killing say 5000 people, how the hell India should accept the terror unleashed by Pakistan to this day which is far more horrible than what happened in the US?

Your government not alone fools you, but fools everyone on earth saying he is the champion for the cause of democracy in the world! To be precise there is no democracy in the USA itself where we see the absence of any morality and ethics in the politics and the governance of the states!

Answer 2

The War in Iraq was a good move at first, however Bush did make SOME mistakes. He should have deployed more troops a long time ago; this would have helped end the war sooner. We still have to keep it going though because we risk ourselves and the people of Iraq if we just pick up and leave. We are still there because we have to help the country run itself, otherwise the terrorists will take control and have a very high level of power. This is our biggest reason for still being there that people don't seem to know or understand. Once the government of Iraq finds a sense of stability, we can pull out. We can't give terrorists a chance at total control of a country. It'd be immoral and stupid.

Answer 3

Against the Iraq War but since we started it we need to finish it. Of course there is the possibility that with Saddam in power we would have eventually had to go to war at some point. Who knows? I just think the money could have been better spent in the USA on domestic energy development. Mind you, I'm not some idiot who is blindly anti-War or anti-military. Until everyone in the world ceases to be aggressive there will always be a need for a military. As long as countries compete for land and resources there will be war. People who campaign to end all wars or get rid of the military are living in a dreamworld.

Answer 4

If newspaper reports are credible, most Americans and Europeans consider attack on Iraq a blunder, not to speak
of the people of Asia and Africa.

Iraq did not have any weapons of mass destruction. It had no
link to AlQaeda, who are religious zealots, whereas Saddam
was a secular ruler. He crushed Shias and Sunnis alike and demolished all opposition to his despotic rule with equal force.

Having the history of using the first atom bomb and destroying the weak nation of Vietnam, America has no moral grounds to correct the attitude of Saddam. All USA
needed was continuation of oil at low prices. But look what
it has cost her: dollar plunging to the lowest level in the history. And it only appears to be tip of an iceberg.

Answer 5

Its wrong & illagle. Every reason given for the war has been found to be not true. Do a check and see if life in iraq was better before the war or now. For what it has cost us , we could have given those people over a million each.

Answer 6

I think it is one of the biggest mistakes this country has ever made. King George couldn't find Osama, so he had to pick on someone else - his father's enemy, Saddam. There were no weapons of mass destruction - just oil. Now he's trying to bring "democracy" to their culture - one of, if not THE oldest culture on the planet. We can only hope that the new prez has the common sense to see what a waste of time, money and lives this whole mess has been. The U.S. has spent almost 2 trillion dollars on this nonsense - that's a LOT of zeros. Meanwhile our own people can't afford housing and health care. Our senior citizens have to choose between medicine or food, people live on the streets and eat out of dumpsters and home owners are losing their homes in record numbers - but we can spend 2 trillion dollars on this boondoggle. Things are NEVER going to change in the middle east no matter how much money George throws at it.

Answer 7

Was necessary to remove Saddam as he was dangerous to the world's oil supply and torturing his own people. In an ideal world not necessary that US tax payers should have to pay for the world's police force. All countries should be contributing to a world force, based on the GDP, and invading all countries with dictators, one at a time. It would only take 2 invasions, all other dictators would see that their time was up are give up.

Answer 8

yes there still is war in Iraq.the americans want to take the oil from Iraq

Answer 9

I think all wars are not good if what its fighting over is really some stupid, childish stuffs. If lives are placed on the line, then definitely its really bad.

Answer 10

We are helped out people get out from under an evil regime. I'm sorry that Americans are now so selfish and not willing to fight anymore.
