I'm watching ABCNEWS and they're talking about the war in Iraq 114 americans died so far this month. So sad.
I asked myself what has this war accomplished? Really ask yourself that, forget about being loyal to your president or the fact that you may be a republician.
Think about it, we invaded a country based on lies ( W of M D ), and when that wasn't enough we tell a leader to resign or we'll go to war? HUH!!!! doesn't that seem a little weird? Yes, Iraq at one point had weapon, the inspectors couldn't find anything, fustrated that nothing was found, we pull the inspectors out and tell Saddam to leave or else. What was the chance of him actually listening? Come on, he's human, a male, a dictator, and they hate americans; I myself wouldn't leave either. With that said I do understand how Saddam has killed his people and that need to be stop. Personally I think if the American people was told that to began with the views of many would be different.
Most pro-war americans will never understand or want to understand how invading a country effects how the world sees the US. The main goal, is was and should still be Terrorist and Bin Laden. It's like we're not even trying with finding him. The focus just switched so fast and no one seemed to even care or noticed.
The people of Iraq, aren't happy we're there and never wanted us there to begin with. It's so sad that, OUR president can't see that. He made a BIG MISTAKE!!!! and being a man, the president, election year, he's not going to admit to it. How many more soliders will have to die before he's decides this is not worth it. It's pretty much going to take another President in office to decide that enough is enough. I mean how would we feel if Iraq invaded the US and forced our President out?
Terrorism has nothing to do with this, Iraq had no part in 9/11 just because they're a middle eastern country doesn't make them guilty. Would it have been so hard to send in a group of men to secretly capture Saddam? We do it all the time (CIA, SEALs), all through out the world it's just not reported.
We as Americans are pretty much responsible for rebuilding Iraq for the rest of our lifetime. Our tax money will now go to Iraq, yeah you know the country the media tells us to hate, we now have to rebuild.
Thats just my rant. I know a few people are thinking if you don't like the US leave. Get serious, you have to admit this country and the things we do is fucked up.
114 Dead =( so sad. I really do feel sorry and support the soliders. Its a job they pretty much "have" to do. they can't say I don't want to go. A bunch of old men and women in offices pretty much decide on there faith only because another leader disagrees or doesn't want to bow down to them. Let bush and saddam fight it out. Saddam would probably win, in a fight but a lot of lives would be spared on both sides.
no one wants to kill there apposing enemy they're pretty forced too
