The War in Iraq

[phyro989]

I know that this is a old subject, but I have to see if there is any1 that believes what i believe.

I say that the war should have ended before we sent any of our troops ing. We should have trunned the country into radio-active dust when we had the chance.

What do the rest of you think?

We should have just never done the war. That's what I think. Plus, if we're supposed to be helping them, I don't see how turning their country into radioactive dust helps.

It shows the world we mean business. If we let one little country mock us then the rest of the world will turn on us. Sacerfice one country gain the fear of the rest of the world.

Re: The War in Iraq

I never had a problem with the war in the first place, but we pussyfooted around too much. We really just needed to go in there, kick a bunch of ass, and then be left with much fewer problems, collateral damage be, for the most part, damned. What we did was a pretty clear example of how not to carry out such a war.

Re: The War in Iraq

I think in order to address this issue properly, we really need to know WHY the States went into Iraq in the first place. It sure as hell wasn't because of weapons of mass destruction, or an issue of immediate public safety (ie: terrorism), or for want of helping the poor, backwards people in Iraq. It seems much more of a resource and political issue than anything, IMO, which is, granted, not nearly as informed as I'd like it to be.
Bombing the heck out of a country isn't going to 1) give the States hands-on political power in the middle-east or 2) secure oil. It will also 3) make the rest of the world hate the States more than they already do, and could start WW III or something, with the USA being the bad guys.
As far as going in there and kicking some ass, what's the point of doing that? And how would that leave less problems than before, when the problems from before with regards to Iraq specifically were practically non-existent?

It is also immutably morally wrong to bomb the heck out of Iraq for whatever the reason claimed is, and that, by far, should leave any other quibbling over the situation in the dust. Unfortunately, some people still believe it best to kill people to show off power.

Re: The War in Iraq

I think we should have never gone 2 war. I mean, my brother is supposed 2 go 2 Kuait sometime next year. Its stupid how George W. thinks we have 2 stay.

Re: The War in Iraq

From a non-American point of view... people like Phyro989 are the reason people don't like the USA.

Thats all i have to say.

Pretty much. Let's sum it up:
- Control over a dense oil-based country to show that we would not be dependant on other middle-eastern countries who dislike our point of view and have an economy primarily based off of light sweet crude.
- Political kickbacks to Halliburton and other contract-based companies that can get monopolistic no-bid contracts for work.
- Vendettas against leaders that attempted to have a certain former president and current president's father assassinated.
- The thought that the war in Iraq would go as smoothly as it did (for a while) in Afghanistan.
- The War on Terrier

Most of these are pretty stupid reasons based on cherry-picked information and the misrepresentation of knowledge and resources. Whether the administration wants to admit it or not, it's become obviously clear that the war should've never been started, and even moreso--Bush should've never managed the war.

(And my opinion.)

Thinking like the enemy, eh phyro989?

Re: The War in Iraq

We don't go around randomly attacking countries, are you an idiot? That would cause world-wide chaos, and maybe even spark a nuclear war.

I think George Bush didn't need to go into Iraq. We're going into countries to bring forced democracy where they don't want it. Venezuela is a good example for that.

Re: The War in Iraq

This topic examplifies the common misperception of the war.

1. WE SHULD NUKE DEM LOL DEM DEY WILL ALL BE DEAD LOL

2. my relative is going to war g bush is dumb

3. The US is stupid, George Bush is stupid.

Only a few of you in here know enough about the situation to give a valid opinion. The rest of you are uneducated citizens of a media bandwagon who need to wake the hell up and think logically, and read up on the war.

Every time I see that as a logistical reason behind going to war, I have to laugh. Instead of sending an assasination squad, we just start a war! That'll teach em'.

and cheers for that post, you really show off your intelligence here, reading through the posts, not one person has said 'the US is dumb', Angel-D pointed out that people like phyro are the reason people dont like the USA but this wasnt jumping on the 'media bandwagon', as another non-american, its a pretty much dead on statement. What are your opinions on the war? And sorry, but where can I read up on the war except in the media?

It's not a really good reason--but it's one that I'm sure Bush would use.

Straight up saying, I don't really like him as president. At all. I hope that somehow the 2008 ticket has Obama/Edwards (or vice versa). That'd be awesome.
