Okay I can't speak for Bush and I don't agree with the war but the reason people are dying in iraq is because the american soilders just want to get home alive so they shoot first and ask question second..Its not just iraqis dying over there you know.\nI'm pretty sure most american value lives over oil but then again we don't really control our country big buisness do..

the invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with demorcay, which was a front, or making the world a safer place, it had to do with a personal vendetta against Hussien by Bush, who tried and tried to tie Iraq to 9/11 but couldnt , who insitsted there were wmds, but couldnt find any, and anyone who said they did, please cite the source, it was also for oil! Meanwhile Bin Laddens boys continue to operate, why vbecause instead of pouring the amount of troops needed to kcik their butts in Afghanastan, we decided to invade Iraq! That alone should raise eyebrows, but it gets worse if you investigate just how the twin towers colsaapsed, when steel does not melt at the tmp that  the building got to, nor should it of free fell! SO someone hide something, and used Hussien as a shield so that they could accomplish their goal, which was $$ oil all powerful presidency, curtailing civil rights!

gosh, you other answerers misunderstand Bush completely.  He's trying to help the USA by killing off all those mideast types and taking their oil for nothing.  He's absolutely sure he is doing God's work.  But I really don't see how MURDERing people is doing God's work, do you?

It's not for the U.S.  \n\nIt's for U.S. oil companies.\n\nBig difference.\n\n\nAnyone who thinks that the decision to attack Hussein and the fact that Iraq sits on the second largest proven reserve of oil in the world had nothing to do with one another is naive.

Mainly because people don't listen, don't remember that we didn't start this war-as in the War on Terror as a whole (Iraq had WMD's during the Iraq-Iran War and gassed the Kurds after the first Gulf War, Saddam was funding Hamas-President Bush said we were going after leaders that supported terrorism).

What's sad about the whole issue is that we shouldn't even be there right now anyway. Everyone knows the Bush Admin. knew that Iraq had no WMD's before going there to install an American friendly government. The whole invasion had been planned for years before 9/11. People must understand the the whole war on terror is a huge fallacy, with a sole purpose of controlling oil and drugs in Eurasia.\nBesides, there's always been a war on terror... How do you think the United States of America started?\nOur forefathers broke free from British oppression in the beginning of this great republic.\n\nThe real question remains, why have large corporations been allowed to control our economy, and why has the government been allowed to get away with allowing oil companies to rule our way of life?\nThis wouldn't even be a problem if the people of the US would stand up to our government, as our forefathers intended, and do the right thing with regard to alternative fuels. America needs to be independent from outside, and internal oil influences!!!

Yeah, I think the only people who are using 9/11 as an excuse for this war are the Bush Administration.  Pretty much everyone else knows why we are in Iraq.  amazing, isn't it.

'fraid so. our brave american 'heros' will be slaughtered & for what? iraq was better off before we went in. saddams crimes are out of our juristiction. iraq had nothing to do with 911 nor did they have wmd. what they did have was oil that they were wanting to sell on the open market. rather than have the competition, its easier to bs the usa into stealing their oil & selling it to ourselves at inflated prices. so what if we sacrifice a few hundred thousand lives, profits are up. theyll probly reinstate the draft.

250,000 Iraqis have been murdered by the barbaric American troops since the 2003 invasion. Most of them are civilians, women and children. Therefore by the Bush administrations own 'standards' you have committed genocide. I don't know about you but I do not like to be partially responsible for such war crimes, whether 250,000 deaths is genocide or not, it is an unforgivable crime. As citizens in a "democratic, freedom loving" country you should take some responsibility for the actions of your elected barbaric governments.

Maybe it's because they murder anyone who tries to help them.  I don't know what Bush was thinking when he sent our people over there to liberate that bunch of bloodthirsty ingrates, but I do know that whatever the reason was, it wasn't worth the life of one American soldier much less the nearly 3,000 who have died so far.  We should have left the Iraqis to Saddam.  They deserve him.

What does 9/11 have to do with it? No Iraqis were involved in the World Trade Center attacks. \n\nThere really are not any good reasons. Sadam was a terrible person, but no more terrible than other dictators who have been supported by the US.  The Iraqis have a lot of oil, and it is true that when we got to IRaq we protected the oil fields before we protected the hospitals, power plants and waterworks. But they were already selling us the oil, so why attack to get it? It probably helped President Bush's image, but even George Bush is not a bad enough guy to sacrifice thousands of young American soldiers just to win an election. \nSo, there's really no reason at all. \nSad, isn't it?

Control of oil is the primary motivation for this war. It’s why Iraq was a target for war. It’s why the U.S. supported Saddam Hussein in the 1970s and ’80s when he was an ally and a friend--when Donald Rumsfeld met with him in Baghdad. It’s why the U.S. is going to occupy Iraq until it can impose a government that’s suitable to U.S. interests. And it’s why Iran and Syria are now in the crosshairs.

Because making them free is not what Iraq is about.\n\nStep back and look at the reasons that W went in... WMDs and and Alqaida link. Both have proven to be lies by W so we would start a war there.\n\nIt's all about the OIL and giving huge rebuilding contracts to W's cronies. Why do you think the contracts were given out in secret without bids? Because it never was about freedom, or WMDs it was always about oil and wealth.\n\nBush could care less about all the soldiers dying and Iraqi's dying or all the money that's being spent. It's not his money. He is wealthy and getting wealthier along with his cronies and that's all that matters to them. And we've been falling for it, or at least 29% of us.

First of all we did not take over Iraq.  Iraq has its own government (Thanks to the USA) and they make their own rules and laws. We are their to keep the county from falling apart.  You are right about it not being about 9/11, it is for other reasons.  Iraq is the country the took over another country when it invaded Kuwit in the early 90's.  After we kicked them out they have broken over 20 UN resolutions which were put on them by the whole wrold not just the USA.  They consistaly shot missiles at our planes which were patroling their airspace (if thats not an act of war then I dont know what is).  They have used WMD's and would refuse to let weapons inspector into there country. Us going into Iraq was voted on by our congress and by the UN secerity counsle, both of which agreed that Saddam needed to go.  And for your "Bush is a oil hungry Mad-man" comment.  We have not taken one drop of oil from the Iraqi people that oil belongs to them. If you want proof of that just look at the gas prices.

People can't get it through there heads that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11 or with terrorist, but the neocons keep trying to play that worn out card! They are as thick headed as their leader!\n\nOh, I just went to you tube and Bush saying Iraq had nothing to do with the Iraq has been removed!\n\nThis will have to do!\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN5yvoIsnnE\nRepublicans!!!\n\nHich! It may be about their freedom! It has nothing to do with protecting OUR freedom! Those are being taken away! Things like habaes corpus which dates back to the Magna Carta! Yes, those in the military are brainwashed! That is the first on their agenda at boot! Been there, done that!\n\nAnd I am not sure we are going to have any effect on who ends up in power in Iraq as they are in the middle of a civil war! Eighty percent of our casualties in October were killed by Iraqi's, not terrorist!
