Why do they ignore all the other countries that are dictatorships? Why do they stay silent on Israels nuclear weapons. Oh and their own??? The world opposes the US occupation of Iraq and the US is now seen as a bully that kills and tortures at will. Is this what American soldiers are fighting for?

Iraq was the main player in funding and training terrorists. We aren't ignoring the others....just tell them to take a number and we'll get around to them.
Israel, which, by the way, has Arabs in positions of equal representation in the Knesset, is a perfect example of responsibility in possessing nuclear weapons.....unlike any arab nation that may eventually get them, they will only use them in DEFENSE....the way WE have. In case you haven't noticed, we haven't nuked anyone since 1945.....and you might keep it in mind that we were attacked then too.
The U.S. is a bully? Our soldiers are greeted in most provinces as liberators. The so-called "insurgents", who are mostly Syrians, Jordanians and Egyptians are the bullies....blowing the legs off little children and murdering civilians on buses. Cowards.
The rest of the world will never accept you as long as you continue to act like thugs and gang bangers. A culture that would contemplate flogging a woman for allowing a teddy bear to be named mohammed, while blowing up schools and hospitals is beneath contempt.

America does not "occupy" Iraq. We are there at the request of the Iraqi Government to help ensure the fledgling nation can survive while it finishes getting organized and built.
What does Israel's nuclear weapons have to do with our liberating Iraq from the harsh, inhumane rule of Saddam Hussein and the Bathe party? Quit throwing lemons in the apple basket.
Why do we take on all dictatorships right now, all at once? Because that would be impossible. We have prioritize and go after the worst ones we have any chance of defeating first. Once Iraq is free from the fighting and slaughter being carried out by Al Qaeda in Iraq and other terrorists, we will re-group and when the need opportunity arises we will help other people achieve freedom and security.
We have limited resources and must pick our battles carefully. Iraq has taken four years (so far) longer than the current administration thought it would. If the terrorists in Iraq would quit killing people there, maybe the U.S. could have sent troops to Darfor to stop the genocide going on there....who knows?
If we were occupying Iraq, I would oppose it too. Occupation is not the American Way. We return control of a country to a lawful government as soon as we can. Often, once the government is established it invites us to keep troops there to help them professionalize their own military and police.

Join the Army; get into intelligence; learn the big picture. Really, now, the Liberal Media DOES NOT TELL THE TRUTH. Yes, there are other dictatorships out and about; most do NOT kill their own people by the tens of thousands with poisonous gas, etc. IF the world thinks the U.S. is a bully, etc., then why DOES EVERYONE WANT TO COME HERE? True, some do go back home, but 13,000,000 (identified) Illegals have chosen to risk their lives to come here. Think about it. That is the key: THINK!

Why don't you cry about it? We are becoming a nation of crybabies! War is never good, life isn't fair, SH*T happens...these are things we all learn as we become adults. Nobody LIKES war, but it is necessary. And I do believe we are in Iraq for democracy. We are fighting to spread democracy to decrease opposition. If we are being a 'bully', SO WHAT? On 9/11 we were attacked and civilians died. And whether the people who attacked us came from Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Poland, or wherever....they were terrorists, and we are fighting to stop these people EVERYWHERE. So grow the f*ck up or go attend a Global Warming rally with the biggest crybaby/alarm-ringer, Al Gore.

Americans have been so demoralized by their governments actions that they have given up almost all hope for a better tomorrow. No one I know believes we are over their for democracy. But it doesn't matter what we want.Even though 70% of Americans don't want us over there our goverment continues to promote their own personal agendas. What ever happened to what "we the people" wanted? Until "we" get the courage to fight our corupt system we had better get used to being stomped on.

The whole Democracy argument pretty much went down the drain when it was apparent more obvious targets (like North Korea) were being neglected.
Try the dozens of other reasons and excuses given out.

I'd bet if you are an American, you must be a Democrat voter because you are surely brainwashed by Howard Dean.

Yeah, about 1 million of us in Uniform. You obviously have been misinformed about a lot of things judging by your rant.
Try some other subsection of Politics and Govt for your outbursts
