I knew it was going to be a mess before we went in there. The problem is politics. If we leave now it will strengthen the resolve of terrorists. It's psychological warfare, and unfortunately the weapons used are human lives. Its a no win situation. We have to find the lesser of two evils and run with it. I personally feel we have, but I feel we could be doing more to prepare the Iraqis to take care of their own.

That depends on the resolution.  If we pull out and Iraq has a civil war, then no.  If Congress finally sends the necessary number of troops to secure the country for the 75 years - YES I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT'S HOW LONG IT WILL BE - then very eventually, it will be worth it.

i think its a difficult issue. i think that we are in the war for the wrong reasons, but i think the war is necessary. the us being on a different continent than most major wars has always been torn between getting involved and isolationism. we dont always make the right call. i think that the people in iraq and the surrounding regions needed help. needed military assistance. not to make way for democracy or any of that crap. but because of massive human rights violations. thats not why we got into the war of course, but its certainly a beneficial side effect. the us didnt get into WWII to liberate the concentration camps, and stop the slaughter of innocent people all over europe, but again, a positive side effect. so maybe it doesnt matter what reason we go in for, as long as the right thing gets done. the civilian casualties are appalling. but they are mostly due to the iraqi insurgency. of course the iraqi insurgency would not have happened if we hadnt gotten involved, because their aims were being accomplished by saddam hussein. and they'll be there when we leave. i dont know that the middle east is actually a good place for democracy. they evolved differently than america and europe. they may require a different form of government. in the end i dont care. the people will decide, and it will be bloody and violent, as it always is. most really important decisions are. but i think its probably time we got out. but as long as we helped people who needed it, maybe its not such a bad thing we got involved. and before you ask, yes i believe that our next stop should be darfour, and the other places in africa where appalling genocide is taking place. it seems we cant win. some countries tell us to mind our own business. others ask us where the hell we were when they were in trouble. like i said. its complex. i dont think theres a right answer.

Before the US can consider attacks on other countries, it would be smart to get out of the quagmire it has in Iraq. I used to believe the insurgents simply wanted us out of Iraq and that they would quit when we left.  I no longer believe that. I believe they are deliberately keeping us bogged down over there, and keeping us busy putting out fires, so that we can't leave.  We must feel some obligation to stay until we see at least one commencement ceremony from their new government.  That would allow a clean break and this will probably never happen.  It is now time for a serious exit strategy.  It is time to give Iraq a short term timetable.  It is time for our troops to come home, lick our wounds, and get ready for the next round, wherever that will be.  I seriously doubt that it will Pakistan as long as Musarreff is in charge. Iran, on the other hand, or Syria????

Soon...civil war in every sense of the term...is my belief. We can try to stabilize certain aspects but beyond that, they (Iraqi's) must deal with the fact that there is no more Saddam, and now is the fallout of the breaking down of secular agreements and accords inforced by Saddam....it was enevitable this was to be the moment we put boots in Iraq.

I think the end of 2008 is when the U.S. military should start leaving.  The Iraqi military will be in control of 75% of Iraq at the end of the summer and probably 90 something percent at the end up 2008.  They could finish it from there.

this war is going to be like veitnam long and pointless. bush is over there for oil he is a retard. you have to support the troops cause they are just obeying orders but its the high officialls that need a cap in their a**. i wish this war was over and people wernt dieing and i think this war is going to go on because the candites are just crooks basically you just pick your poison. all you can do is believe in God and pray.

NO, because, the Hatred is growing and growing towards one another and eventually, Bush will have us all killed.  If he's so confident, why doesn't he go fight in the war instead of sending young men with promising futures???  He's selfish and doesn't care that's why.  He's taking all our money and what do we get for it.  Our healthcare system and education system is crap.  We are the only 1st world country without a proper HEALTH or EDUCATION system!  War should end and we should concentrate on getting along as a nation!

I'll  tell you what, when the United States' (and other countries') oil interests stop coinciding with their war targets we might all start thinking about peace and safety.\nAs soon as the oil in Iraq runs out the US will just move on to another target - Iran, it seems.\nSo in fact war doesn't really begin and end, it is a machine designed to make money for a small elite while the general public is kept blindfolded with hipocrisy and misinformation.\nIf you still think G. W. Bush is a "nice guy" I dare you, in fact, I double dare you to watch a documentary named "The Corporation" and not change your mind. You'll find it online.

Badly, very badly.\n\nAll three sides, the Sunnis, Kurds and Shi'ites will fight like dogs, and eventually the United States will not be able to stop it. Those Iraqi troops we trained will also come back to haunt us too. This is a bad situation, and all the weapons in the US arsenal will not be able to solve it.\n\nOn the upside, I think it would have happened one way or the other, contrary to liberal public opinion....sad situation, time for us to leave!

Yeah! There are people like me out there! I agree 100%. People are forgetting that Iraq wasn't exactly the peaceful little place people thought it was before we got there. If we leave now, a huge civil war will erupt between all these different muslim groups to try to control power.

There have been many other signs of the day of judgment so we could very well be nearing the end of times.\n\nThe issue that is of concern is the priorities of our government.  Somehow all the important social programs that I want my taxes to go to have been cut in order to increase spending on an illegal and immoral war that has already cost the lives of 30,000 Iraqi civilians.\n\nFolks, did you hear that? 30,000 civilians! That's not including armed insurgents.  And that's the number that our president is willing to admit to.  God only knows how much more have actually died on the hands of this butcher of Baghdad Bush (like father like son).  How many people died on September 11th?  3,000.  So to go and fight terrorism and avenge the death of these 3,000 people, we go and kill 10 times as many?  Who's the real terrorist here??\n\nStatistically, if you added up all the countries' defense budgets, the U.S. defense would comprise 80% of that and all the other countries combined are only 20%.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that we shouldn't have a military, but our military budget comprising 80% of the entire world's while people in our own backyards are dying of starvation or lack of medical insurance??\n\nThe other thing that boils my blood is the fact that both Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney come from energy backgrounds (Arbusto and Halliburton).  How can it be that as soon as we take over Iraq which was under embargo for 12 years the demand for oil goes up, yet the energy companies score record profits ????\n\nIs this what you want your taxes to pay for?  For an empirical armed nation that is hijacked by corrupt right-wing neo-con energy blood-suckers?  I say we should be able to have a say regarding what our taxes are being spent on.  I personally will not pay taxes this year because I don't want my hard-earned money going to support this sham.\n\nThe ball is in your court.  What are you gonna do??

A very good question.One in which I have pondered many times in the past.I personally do not believe the war on terror will be ending any time soon.There are people in this world that will stop at nothing to ensure the destruction of not only America but her allies as well.These people have made that clear.It may or may not be over in our lifetime but I certainly hope it will be over for our future.The world's future.Mankind's.\n\nI don't think there will be a specific event that will signify the end of the war,lets just hope it will not be ours.

Well, forst of all there is no comparison between Iraq and Vietnam.  One was essentially a Civil War and the other is a nation under seige by foreign terrorists.\n\nFighting in that region of the world will never end.  It has been happening for over 3,000 years, and will go on for aother 3,000 years.  It is going to take a change inmindset in order for it to stop.\n\nDo I think the current conflict will end?  Yes, when the people of Iraq take controll of their own nation, and are able to stop the terrorists that have infiltrated their country.\n\nOf course, it does not help when neighbors like Syria and Iran help those terrorists.
