I agree with you completly. Our Gov't is ready for war whenever. It is just ridiculous that they are tying to start stuff with the USA. I mean just look at us in Iraq, they don't let us inspect their country for nukes and we attack. Iran is pratically starting a war with us and I bet you that we will attack them before the next presidential election.

i strongly disagree with the war. We went there in search of "weapons of mass destruction". We found none. We toppled the government and killed many of there so called insurgence and terrorists. They are not terrorists. In actuality, if a country invaded the U.S. for no reason, beat our military and toppled our government, many of us would take the the streets with our weapons to form and insurgency. I would be the first to get out my guns and fight against the invading country. Would you join me in the fight? Well those people over there in Iraq are doing what we would do. And our soldiers are just taking orders from a corrupt Bush administration. \nI could go on for days and enlighten you all, but many want to remain either ignorant or in denial.

Hi, I am an Englishman and never visited the States. I suppose like many people I would have to say that I have had mixed feelings about the USA. Most of the information regarding world events etc comes via the media and does not I think always give the most unbiased opinion. Not just in political events. We all see popular shows like Oprah and this without doubt has a profoundly negative effect. We see in the main what can only be described as weirdos and have to wonder if these strange selfish people are indicative of the country as a whole.\nHigh consumers, irresponsible ecological attitude and a me, me, me mind set.\nAll sounds horrible doesn't it? Thankfully there is the Internet where over the past couple of years I have made some excellent friends who have illustrated that there is a far more caring and unselfish, generous aspect to many of the citizens of the US than I previously thought. \nMy country and yours have been strong allies both economically and in time of conflict and shared a whole lot together. I personally hope that this will always be the case.\nWho knows what may happen in Iraq, North Korea and the rest of the world. But I believe that in the main (although always influenced by oil) The forces currently in Iraq are trying extremely hard to bring about stability. If they were only allowed to do so, your country and mine could bring our troops home. The sooner the better.\nIn a nut shell I am pro American. OK?

Absolutely agree, I think they want to see Americans dead, and have been responsible for many deaths of Americans, albeit covertly. The US should do what it must when attacked by a foreign nation, to declare war.

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?

I think the war in Iraq is a failure of the Bush adminastration. Iraqi's are engaged in a civil war and we are in the middle of it. Only way out is to get out and let them settle for themselves. I always wondered how many repugs were acturally fighting in the war. Now I know. It is a shame.

I believe we are starting to see signs of a determined effort on the part of the US administration to give the fledgling Iraqi government a timetable to deal with, in terms of the US reducing its troop strength. This is happening for a number of reasons.  1) The American people have had quite enough of the pace of this war and our inability to stop the senseless killings of our troops, by these devil worshiping bastards the media calls, insurgents.\n2) We need to free ourselves up from this circle jerk before the next one starts.\nWe may not see a complete troop withdrawal for a long time, but we may be able to pull our guys back or out of harms way so they are no longer practice fodder for the bad guys.  Remember, the bad guys don't want to see us go, they want to keep us there putting out fires, but hopefully we can see that and not allow ourselves to play into it.

I don't like the idea of war but who are we to say anything about it.\n\n The brave men and women who are there or who was there are the only ones who should have a voice in it.  And sir my son was one of them Marines over there and he was hurt But he wants to go back cause he says the people over there needs them so I stand behind our military not our government or any bleeding heart person who wasn't there!!!!

I have been saying this to anyone that will listen!!!  People look back at the Vietnam war as a failure of the US.  The US went in there and tried to implement the form of government they saw best.  And now we are trying to transform the government of Iraq?  See the comparison, this war will be viewed as another US failure.  How many more wars will the world tolerate that Americans step in and try to force their ideas.  These wars also hurt our economy.  Are these failed wars the beginning of the end for the US as the leading "empire" of the world.

Americans are not blood hungry!! Watch what you say and in what context you say it!!! \n\nWar ....is ugly no matter how you look at it.\n\nAlthough 53% o Americans want our troops to pull out of Iraq ....it's our Government who's lame and invaded the wrong Country ( meaning Iraq ) so for that reason....we should have never started this war and it's about time we finish it.\n\nYou want to blame someone, blame BUSH!!

I (american) completely agree with you that our country has been completley out of line in trying to be the worlds "big brother". You should know that your mirror will only show what is shown to it.  My mirror would show acceptance and love for all people. I was deeply disturbed by one of your previous posts. Please dont think that americans actually have a voice in whether or not we go to war! How would you feel if I was one of the closeminded americans that thinks that just because you are middle eastern, you know the terrorists and can make them stop if you want. I can't even begin to understand what it feels like to live in a warring country, my condolensces to you and yours. But remember that not seeing all sides of the story is one of the problems that led us to where we are today.  You are obviously very upset, and for good reason. So I would like to personally appologize to you for the occupation, although I have absolutely no control over it. By opening our eyes and truly thinking about things before we believe them, we might eventually be able to achieve peace. I wish you, and your family, and Iraqi and American troops peace. Please rethink your hatred for all americans and know that there are many of us here that agree with YOU rather than our own government. By finding a way to see that no culture as a whole is inherantly evil and that every individual is different and needs to be respected, you too will be a part of the path to peace.  Peace to you my brother. Tasharrafna. Shukran.

Thank you!!!!!!! What is the figure again?? One Billion US$/day to be in Iraq.........But that`s not even close to be as troubling as the number of casualties on all sides especially that the whole thing is based on a fool LYING to the world through his teeths!!

This is just my opinion about the above statement:\nUSA is the greatest country in the world, and Americans are by far the best people in the world.  Negative talks about US have been going on since the beginnings and always will.\nI feel we should take care of our USA and it's people first in all ways, and if we have any MONIES left to help others, then we should do it.  Our bleeding heart volunteers in Iraq, should come back to the USA and help us here.  I never heard of Iraq sending volunters here to help us.\nI know this is a comment and not an Answer!

right, the war was against Saddam Hussein and the ba'ath party, not against the people of Iraq. the whole point of it was to liberate them. second there was more than enough money in the Iraqi oil trust fund, but this was swallowed up by corrupt politicians and big corporations who took the money but didn't do the work. a lot of the insurgency is not political, it is a vendetta. a jumpy young soldier at a check point shoots up a car full of innocent people and you've got a whole family and clan taking revenge. the shia were cooperative in the beginning, but as time went by and there was no improvement, no regular electricity, no water, no sewage, no work. the hospitals closing down due to the lack of medicine and equipment. they got a tad annoyed with the Americans and British whose corporations were there to improve things but were actually just taking the cash. there was no al-qaeda there until the invasion as they saw Saddam as a heretic and he mercilessly crushed them. they came after the invasion and the break down in law and order. it is a good recruiting ground for them and they are financed by the Saudis who are terrified by the idea of a democratic shia state next door to them. we, the British and the Americans have to pay for the blundering manner which our governments chose to liberate the people of Iraq, so that millions of innocent people do not suffer. it is our fault we voted the cretins in
