My husband is over there and while he was home on leave he watched the news one night. He got really angry because all they show is the bad stuff. He told me there are tons of good things they are doing over there and that their citizens thank them all the time.

Yes, Bush should go on trail for his Iraq war conduct. His policies won't gurentee any peace in Iraq. He is soley responsible for the deaths of the nearly 3,000 dead US military personnel.

To be honest I think its a Catch 22 situation.  You let him live and one group of people will be annoyed and rebel, you kill him and a different bunch of people are annoyed and rebel.  So no matter what happens there is going to be violence and terrorism in my opinion.  So what should be done?  Who knows, Saddam has been tried and found guilty of mass murder, he should be punished and in the eyes of Iraqi law that means death by hanging.  All we can do is obey the law.

there's nothing we can do about iraq. everything that's going on there and everywhere else was meant to happen. the u.s is in iraq now so that they can set up camp for when they go and start picking on iran and later get into what we know as armageddon. read revelations in the bible, it will tell you all you need to know...

I'd say one of the most pressing issues would include the US occupation of Iraq.  I'm sure you can find lots of historical data and speculations about the future conclusion.

I think that the military could be of better use protecting our own borders, Iraq was a mistake from the beginning and we need to admit that mistake and bring the people home.

Get out of Iraq.\nSend the illegals home.\nBan offshoring of labor.\nInstitute fair trade policies so that everything isn't made in china.\nBan importation of foreign labor to replace Americans.

Let Iraq deal with "their" problems ? It is problems the US of A have created, for goodness sake !! Before the US invasion the Iraqi people were much better off.... they might have been ruled by a dictator... but - hey - so is the US, but the US is worse off: they are ruled by a BRAIN-DEAD dictator, who must be a direct descendent of Nero.\n \nBefore the invasion, the Iraqi people had food, medical care, and the children safe streets to play in. Now they live in constant fear of being massacred by cold blooded murderers, who accuse their horrid actions with "fear for their own life". \n \nThe US needed to GET OUT 3 years ago, but since they HAD to invade, attack and brutalize, allowing their own history to repeat itself, they have to get out NOW... not tomorrow, not next month, not in 2007... NOW, before their trained murderers can cause more dispicible massacres.. The US couldn't run a piss-up in a brewery  and thus need to let Europe and Asia take care of rebuilding Iraq... and while they are at it: send the bill to BUSH.\n \nAs far as the US are concerned, military intelligence is a contradiction in terms.\n \nEnough of the US caused blood-shed !!!

At this point, just leaving Iraq right now with the situation it's in is a recipe for disaster. If you think it's bad now, just imagine what it'll be like without us. On the other hand, it's more of a catch-22 than anything. If we keep staying in Iraq, insurgents will keep killing soldiers. If we leave, however, everything we've done will be for nothing. The closest thing we can do that would be considered winning in my opinion is to have a functioning government, an army that can hold it's own, and basically get Iraq back on it's feet. After that, then we should leave. If there is *no* way we can win the war without anything like divine intervention, then we might as well leave.

get out of iraq as fast as possible. but i guess as long as iraq has oil that is not something america wants to do.

Remember we have a thousand year of history behind us and have survived and co-exsisited. Saddam was installed in power by the Americans. He was financed and armed by the US(to combat Iran). We now have another American puppet in power. Then we paid the price of America's mistakes and today again we are paying the price of America's mistakes with our lives. All we want is America to get out of Iraq and we will solve our own problems. The sectarian violence will not cease unless American's leave our country. They are doing more harm tham good with there presence. Dont they realise, we dont want there "democracy" or way of life. Just let us be. We dont need any help from the Americans. GET OUT OF IRAQ NOW.

A big problem with Iraq, is it a lose-lose situation.  We stay, we kill more Iraqis and more American and coalition troops and still have a mess.  We leave, they have a bigger civil war than they have now.  \n\nReally, I would like to see Bush and the Democrats come to some agreement about what to do there.  They always want to play the blame game and the blame game, while fun for politicians, is deadly for our troops and the Iraqi population.

What do you suggest they do about it?

Here's a question to the President:\n\nWho says that Iraq NEEDS to be a Democracy in the first place?\n\nLook at Saudi Arabia.  While they're certainly NOT the immaculate image of what a great country should be, the we're not locked in any sort of standoff with them.  Saudi Arabia is ruled by a Royal Family.  Jordan also is ruled by royalty, which the U.S. has pretty good relations with.  Yet Iran & Iraq, which both has/had oppressive presidents, we have problems with.\n\nMake Iraq a kingdom.  We won't have any problems with them then.  Of give them another type of government (there are dozens to choose from.)  I think trying to make them like the U.S. (which worked for us, but may not for them, since they DIDN'T revolt their leadership by themselves) could actually hurt them.  The last thing they want right now (I can only assume) is to have the exact same type of government they did under Saddam.\n\nNow, it's a given they won't be nearly as oppressed under the new leadership, but still, if I were an Iraqi, the last thing I would want is to see the word "president" on T.V.\n\nThis might be kind of far out there, but I actually don't think making them in our image is a good idea.

Ask the Iraqui's.\n\nThey want us there.\n\nThe UN wanted us there.\n\nTherefore, everything you've said against the war or Bush is a Fairy Tale.

Bush and his cronies should come to the final decision that it is best to get out of Iraq. Each day we remain there only makes the situation worse. Unfortunately Bush does not seem to realize this. I'm not saying to bring them all home at once. What I am saying is to bring them home gradually, maybe even 500 at a time. We're not wanted there. We already have enough enemies. Bush should forget about Iraq's oil because the entire Middle East now knows that oil was our primary reason for invading Iraq. They only see themselves as next. GET OUT BUSH.
