i think u make sense. the world will be a much better place if people were nicer to eachother. \n\nin particular, i think that instead of going to war against other countries, maybe we should be making peace. i mean, even the people who flew planes into the twin towers had a reason for doing it...at the time, american soldiers were in saudi arabia. maybe instead of blowing their homes up, we should be listening to their complaints and helping to solve them\n\nso yeah, i think we should have a "everyone shut up and be nice to eachother day"

I wholeheartedly agree with your skepticism.  There is no purpose to the war that we are fighting.  It is a quagmire, and the one who got us there in the first place is too proud to admit that.  \n\nSadly, in George Bush Sr's Memiors, he specificially said that it was a bad idea to invade Iraq because something like this would happen.

I am very pleased my previous post sparked such thought. The first of your two questions was " whether or not terrorists are primitive". I am not sure how to answer that except that OBL is probably living in a cave somewhere near the border of Afganastan and Pakistan and is offering a truths with the United States of America. (Someone isn't so sure they will get their 40 virgins.) Your second question "is being primitive bad?" No not if your fundimental beliefs are not centered around killing the innocent. I have no problem with primitave cultures. In fact I appreciate the fact that primative cultures have not disolved in our modern world.\nYou asked more than 2 questions. You went on to ask if it makes them any dumber and several other things I will try to address but it is getting late for me.\nOkay look, I have no problem with Muslims or any other specific ethnic or religous peoples. The original question was "Is war bad?" I answered quick to get my 2 points and move on, because I did not feel the asker had put much serious thought into it. War is bad. War is evil, vile, and discusting to anybody with half a brain, primative or not. However there are times when wars must be fought, and as long as there are people out there in the world that seek to cause the loss of life on our soil then we will fight them. We will start and finish them. We will destroy those who seek to destroy us. Peace through superior firepower is a sad way of puting it, I know. However the best defense is a strong offence. You do not have to agree with me but please believe me I say these things with conviction. I wish the world was a peacefull place. I would feel alot better about the saftey of my children. However the world is not peacefull, far from it. There are people who wish to destroy us and our way of life so bad they are willing to die for it. Well I for one am willing to die to defend it.

You cannot deny the realities of life...war unfortunately is one reality.\nWhether we see these wars as 'Necessary' or 'Justified' doesn't really matter.\nWhat really matters is that the "soldier" out there fighting that war is just as much a part of our family (the family of Man) as anyone of us. With a 'heart' and 'soul' just like you and me. With the hurts and the pains just like you and me. With the aspirations, joys and other worldly desires we all share. God bless each and everyone of them...they have my love.

yeah i agree, we are the only people that aren't crazy enough to start wars about our religion! these religious fanatics need to get a grip on reality..... if only they were not brainwashed and studied physics and quantum physics they would know that all that religion crap is LIES!!!!

why do "WE", Um I think its more like why do "YOU". because "I" dont believe that. we aren't there to fight a war, we are there to make peace and contain the moronic fruit cakes over there from fighting. we are the peace keeprs not the fighters, if we are under combat yes we will fight back i mean after all would you want someone shooting at you? if I had to be there and I had a gun and someone was shooting or bombing me, darn skippy I would fight back. but again back to your question I dont believe that "WE" think that, only "you" do.

I know what you mean. You can even see it on this board. How we are stupid and if you fight this war you should die. As if I chose to separate from my 1 year old when i went to IRAQ.People like to over exaggerate everything. No one really thinks the military is loosing this war. I mean if the military was loosing the war there would be more than the 2,500 dead in three years. After all there is over 120,000 soldiers in Iraq at any given time.\nLoosing is the last thing people really think. Politics is what has you there and it is whats going to keep soldiers there for a while. i mean aren't they just now starting to close the bases down in Germany. Those were there to make sure Germany didn't invade another country. I think that threat has great diminished yet the bases are just now being closed. Politics and money are the roots of all evils.

when the war is not stopped then that means our troops are doing their job and killing the terrorists.What are whiners like you going to do when these terrorists blow something up over here again and kill a bunch of innocent Americans... AGAIN.You'll just blame the government and say they never did there jobs.Our troops (HERO'S) cant win with you people so if you dont love this country and our freedoms then go live in iraq if you think it's so great over there......

People get upset because we expect so much more from our own people.  We are the liberators, the good guys.  We should not be lowering ourselves to the standards of our enemies.\n\nOur boys and girls are doing one HELLUVA job in Afganistan and Iraq, but they are only human.  Mistakes can/will be/have been made.\n\nAlso, war brings out the worst and best in people.  Some folks make mistakes, other revel in the bloodshed.

well there ya go. these ansews say it all. they never saw what you are saying only keywords to take unrelated issue with. no remorese, no responsibility, no compassion & no soul. what they lack in these qualities they make up with ignorance, denial, sadistic creed, psychotic delusions & soulless amusement. no amount of education can produce a mind.\n\ndamn prople, where do you think the money & power comes from for a reletively small group to make all thses 'foriegn policies' & enforce them with military. YOU, your taxes pay for it. your bodies supply the wars.

There was a great essay I saw on this the other day, here:\n\nhttp://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/5/26/155350/677\n\nThanks to the original writer, I couldn't have said it better myself.  You can't wage a war against an emotion.  It's like the "war on love" or the "war on sadness", the "war on regret".  You just can't "win" or "lose", there is no goal.  I'm still trying to figure out how people got Iraq mixed up with "terrorism", despotic and tyrannical dictator and murderer, sure, but not a terrorist.

Well first of all I'm sorry for all the friends that you lost. :( I don't think that only Muslims are terrorist but these people in the tape are confused I don't know whats wrong with them!I can't lie, I don't agree with this war but I surely don't want anyone to die just to "teach" something to people.I don't know what its like to be in war but I do know that soldiers should not be criticized in this way,they are fighting for something they believe,to protect our country.\nI don't know but i think war is not too good because I have an uncle that was in war he came back alive in one piece but hes kind of weird now, I think he is traumatized by all the things he saw in the war he was in.\nLike I said before I'm sorry for all the friends and people you lost during the time you were there :(\nI hope everything gets better for you:)

a very, very good question...\nmy best guess is because we're silly and assume that the wars did solve our problems. they didn't, but we do end up getting our way often when we slaughter hundreds or thousands of people, so we overlook that our people were slaughtered and we lost resources and innocent people died. maybe we're hoping in the back of our minds that the kids will be smart enough to realize that if we all lived by the "don't hurt people" rule then the world would be a much better place, but when one person doesn't play fair it puts the others in an awkward position.

Why not?Are not we Americans civilized people?I feel "we the people" are going to catch it,just because the "DECIDER" is deciding to be the playground bully,and everybody likes to to see the bully get it,but this time he will drag all of us down with him!The problem is as I see it, our government is just trying to a real prick about things,but us Americans just want to live and let live.Why does BUSHCO want to give them crazy mad as hell peckerwoods a reason?Those guys are not,like those other guys,them boys look dangerous as hell!

First of all, (no offense) get some english lessons... I don't understand a single word you said. I agree with war when it is necessary, like the war we're fighting right now. It is a just war, because if we hadn't gone over and done what we did, they would be over here bombing what they please. Seriously people shut up with the whole "Be tolerant" thing and realize THEY WANT AMERICA GONE. Remember sept. 11th? Iraq was in the streets dancing... so yes I agree with it. Wow sorry that whole thing sounded really mean, I don't mean to offend but sometimes war protesters just get on my neeerves man
