I support the general Millitary, but I don't think we should have invaded Iraq

All of this Administration along with the instigators and supporters need to be in Iraq...I say, serves them right to insult, and abuse Americans. I love your avatar too by the way...Neocons are Un-American...

I agree - we can't win in Iraq without addressing Iran and Syria, who are supplying the terrorists.\n\nSadly, I doubt America's politicians or public have the will to do it.

the only occupation that ever worked for us was Japan, we are not designed to occupy Iraq. All that its doing is killing our troops and spending billions of tax dollars when we have better things to do. I support our troops, have sent 2 of my sons and 2 son in laws there. But the war was wrong from get go, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, if you believe the gvernment version of 9/11 it was all Saudi comnspiarators who committed the deed, yet we have not lifted a finger, not imposed a sanction against them! Hussien may have been evil, but the Saudi Roayl family is just if not more evil on a scale of evil. Its like if the neighbor kid punches you in the nose, so you kick the crap out of someother kid and let the attack go as if nothing happened! If we want a war of retalaition invade Saudi Arabia, I guarentee Bin Ladden will return home to defend his country, hell nuke em then we can use the oil  for gas and night lights! Wake up America! Bush, Chenny must be impeached

(raises hand)\nI support our troops, but not the war. It's not a war. I think we're just terrorizing another nation into doing what we want them to do. I don't watch the news anymore. I hate seeing that we're killing so many innocents and being killed because they want to live their own way. I really don't like bush. He handled this thing really badly. It would have been one thing to go into Iraq to get the person responsible for 9/11. But it's a completely different thing to go into their country, destroy their cities, kill and imprison civillians for no reason, and stay there until they meet our demands. I would not be suprised if they attacked us again cause we're asking for it.

I cant help you a lot, but french endorsed the revolution of the colonies in the us, in fact i think they even sent troops at the time consisting of the royal navy.\n\nAs of the second part, the people of both spain and france were and are totally against the occupation of iraq, i was in madrid at the time and a manifestation of 1.5 millon people crowded madrid`s center "puerta del sol" regardless of what their at the time president Mr. Aznar said. so you have a big dicotomy there, goverment endorsed the US, and people deplored it.\n\nFrance on the other side, both goverment and people were actively involved and against the iraq invasion.

depends on the person. i am against the war completely, but some of my friends are for it. A few of my best friends are Marines and one of them is in Iraq right now.  We all agree that we disagree with the war and some of the President's decisions, but that does not affect our relationship at all. They respect my views as I respect theirs, and I definately have respect for all of our troops overseas.

What I support isn't in Iraq! My question to all who support the Iraq War, Who are we fighting in Iraq? Why are we fighting them in Iraq? This war is based on lies and deceit. GWB has proven to all that he is not trust worthy. I feel sorry for the families who get on TV and praise the efforts of their family members who have been killed in this war because they all believe that this is for the betterment of this country, How?  The people who attacked America, not one of them were from Iraq. The majority of them were from Saudi Arabia, a place that, at that time was suppose to be America's ally.\n\nEveryone who has lost a family member over there want to believe that they died for their country but they didn't they died because of a vendetta of GWB. They died because GWB had promised his father that he would get Saddam Hussein for trying to assassinate him during his term as President. I know that if this country was invaded, I wouldn't think twice about putting my life on the line to fight for it and I believe that there isn't one red blooded American who wouldn't do the same.\n\nI want to know who died and made America the ruler of the world?  How in the Hell can American Presidents dictate to other countries as to how to live their lives and conduct their governments when ours are so egregious. The very thing that Bush is telling the American people about other countries need to be taken care of right here at home. \n\nSpending hundreds of Billions of dollars for a war that's not rightfully ours and our country is going to Hell in a hand basket. Social Security, Community necessities, like Firemen, Policemen, Health-care, Mental Illness and Homelessness. What leader in their right mind would declare war on two countries before either of the wars are over? Americans are to blame because no one questioned this last election enough due to the fact that there's no way in Hell it was won fairly. \n\nNow the facts are creeping out about the Electronic Voting Machines, the votes entered into them, there was no way the votes could be verified.. The machines could have been hacked by kindergarten children and no one would have been the wisest according to the experts who had the opportunity to examine those machines.The answer to your question is, No, I wouldn't fight in Iraq, because what is being supported over there isn't worth losing a human life over, which is Oil and Power. \n\nMy heart is heavy for the Service People who are still there and the ones who will end up losing their lives over Lies told to them by a man who's in the White House believing that he is the President Of The United States Of America! In his Heart he know that he really didn't win! God Bless America and protect the innocent because there's too much corruption, hatred and vindictiveness in this Country. \n\nAmericans are allowing illegal immigrants and anti-Americans to dictate and change the very core that this country was built on that has made it what it was six years ago. Each time we allow God to be removed we suffer for it. God has always been a part of this countries make-up. The truest words I can think of are, "In God We Trust".

I do understand that you are not the ones responsible for America's actions in Iraq, Americans. I am from Egypt and I of course don't agree on the war from the begining, it was like a breach to the Iraqi Sovreingity rights...ridding the Country from Saddam's governemnt is something that people Iraq had to do, and does not require the help of anyother country; in other words, it is an internal affair; and what America did is an interference in the internal affairs of Iraq. It Also caused much damage to both sides, Americans lost lots of soldiers there in vien and it consumed alot of money that could have been used in a better way. Also Iraq now is in a state of disturbance, and I don't see that the American forces are able to control the situation there. Gureilla warfare is not easy to handle...so, since they already did what they wanted, they got rid of Saddam, and established a new government too, they should leave and leave it to the new governement to take care of it, because they already fail to sustain a stable climate there. If they insist to stay, then that can be nothing but occupation, which is of course something that is unacceptable...right?

The US, of course. We had a purpose in 1945, when several of our men were killed by the Japanese Imperial Army. But to defend ruthless murder, like the bombing of an innocent Iraq, is bullsh*t. I refuse to justify Vietnam, Iraq, or other times that we have slaughtered women and children. I refuse to glorify the murder of children abroad and at home, let alone the many other twisted truths about are US. But don't blame the country, blame the ringmasters that ARE leading us to hell. Thank the Bushes, Reagan, Nixon and several other bastards that contributed to the blood that lies on our hands and the hate that is blown to us by millions. As far as I am concerned, anyone who defends the actions of the Conservative Horsemen may as well wish death on the US, democracy, and the world.\n\nAs for the war in Iraq, why the hell would anyone claim that as an excuse of the greatness of the American Forces. How many other countries are killing their own citizens? What have we done in Korea? To Osama Bin Laden? In Louisiana? What about poverty? Drugs? The defecit of the United States? To defend the murderers of our country is to spit in the face of Lady Liberty, to piss on the graves of Harry Trumam and John F. Kennedy, who actually helped to save the United States, and to congratulate and bow to the feet of Satan himself.

65% of americans do not support the Iraq campaign. \n\nThe USA needs a BETTER PLAN for the peace.\n\nOH YEA, if you support the war so much....why aren't YOU in Iraq fighting it?

Great question, Alex.\n\nI think most Americana's would.  I know that I would, for sure.  But then I believe that if my country is at war, I need to stand behind the troops and my president.  It doesn't really matter if I agree or not, I still need to be supportive. \n\n\nopen4one---LMAO!

Iraq is and will be in civil war weather we leave there now or in a hundred years so it does not matter when we leave. The strongest will take the power and will run the country as they see fit and that is just the way it is. I was against the war to begin with, we have no business telling another country how to run their business, no matter how bad a leader that they have. I agree that Saddam is and was a bad man but that is Iraq, and we are the United States and we have plenty of problems with a bad leader right here.

Should we still be in Germany, Italy, Korea, or Afghanistan.  Those have been over longer than Iraq and we still have people there.  We even made permanent bases there we have been there so long.  What is so different about Iraq to you people.  Stop watching the news and get some real facts based on real information not some news channel putting a spin on things.  Just to clear the record most do want our help over there.  I was guarding a demonstration of thousands of American supporters and about thirty anti-American protesters.  Guess how the news crew portrayed that seen.  To watch it on the news it looked just the opposite.

Are you asking a question or are you preaching?  The discourse above sounds more like a sermon than a question.\n\nAt one point the US did support Iraq, and Saddam (when they were fighting Iran).  However they were never allies of ours.  The relation ship we had with them was more an "enemy of my enemy" thing.\n\nI doubt seriously that Israel ever trained the Taliban, much less in Pakistan.\n\nI am skeptical about the US "giving $6 billion to Al Qaeda,"  unless you are referring to indirectly through the purchase of oil.\n\nAs for the rest, it seems that it is the sermon part.

Yes, I support our troops.\nI think the invasion of Iraq was a horrible mistake, but that certainly is not the fault of the troops.\nVery interesting points you make, although the rationing of resources I feel would be unnecessary.\nI would agree with your other two suggestions however.
