Do you think that the US attack on Iraq is a right thing to destroy terrorism?

The attack on Iraq has nothing to do with terrorism, other than being the best recruitment advert Al Qaeda could have had.  Theoretically the attack was because of WMDs (the Iraqi's really know how to hide things don't they ??), and then it became regime change (or were these just a smokescreen for oil ??) - Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism.  Now that the west have inflamed problems between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims, the chances of terrorist activity is far more likely.\nIf we want to reduce terrorism, I believe we need to stop wading in and waging war with the middle east in alphabetical order, and build constructive links instead.\nFirst step, we need to work with the UN in areas with problems - rather than just listening to Israel.

The destruction of the world trade centre and the attack on the pentagon has been described as the greatest act of terrorism. \nHowever history demonstrates that the most horrific acts of Terrorism has been carried out by the freedom loving democratic nation, the United States of America . According to their own Official FBI definition of terrorism: “Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.” \n\n IRAQ : \n From 1991 to the present day the United States Air Force and Navy have slaughtered over 200,000 civilian people in Iraq with Depleted Uranium missiles, cluster bombs, cruise missiles and other so-called “smart bombs.”\n During the “Desert Storm” terror campaign the arsenal also included fuel-air bombs and napalm. 177 million pounds of bombs were dropped on the people of Iraq in the most concentrated aerial bombardment in the history of the world. In the 110,000 sorties of the six-week onslaught the cowardly American and British pilots (and to a lesser extent French and Saudi pilots) mass-murdered at least 200,000 people, using depleted uranium missiles, napalm, cluster-bombs, fuel-air bombs, cruise missiles and other so-called “smart bombs.” The slaughter of civilian people in the Amariyah bomb shelter was a Prime example of this American/British state terrorism. Most of them were women, children, elderly, and invalids from a new housing development. Cowardly U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force jet pilots caught one sixty-mile-long column of fleeing Iraqi soldiers and Palestinian civilian families in vehicles on the Kuwait to Basra highway - and pounded them ruthlessly with bombs and machine-gun fire. The road, clogged by four lanes of one-way, bumper-to-bumper traffic, was carpet bombed by B-52s dropping 1,000-pound bombs, and repeatedly hit with laser-guided missiles and “smart” bombs. All the Iraqi soldiers, as well as Palestinian workers and their families, were slaughtered without mercy. The bloodthirsty American pilots gleefully described the massacre as “shooting in a sheep pen.” \n During the Desert Storm terror campaign at least 944,000 rounds of Depleted Uranium ammo were fired from American A-10 Warthogs all over Iraq and Kuwait . When a depleted uranium tipped shell strikes a tank or armoured personnel carrier it easily penetrates the armour and burns the crew alive. The impact also vaporizes the depleted uranium, creating an aerosol of radioactive heavy-metal particles which can spread as far as 190 miles on the wind. When inhaled or ingested, the depleted uranium particles cause chemical and radioactive damage to the bronchial tree, kidneys, liver and bones. Cancer often results, and the effects can even include genetic damage. \n The Dutch Laka Foundation estimates that the United States terror campaign left behind 300-800 tons of radioactive waste from this ammunition all over Kuwait and Iraq - poisoning the air, the land, the water and the people everywhere. Afterwards, wherever the depleted uranium firing had been concentrated, there were cancer epidemics among Iraqi civilians living nearby. In the ten years since then, sanctions, polluted water and depleted uranium together have killed somewhere between 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 Iraqi civilian people. At least 600,000 of the dead are children. Cancer rates have quadrupled in areas of southern Iraq bombed by the American and British state terrorists. Since it began, thousands of Iraqi babies have been born with horrible birth defects. This is something that has never before been seen in Iraq . \n Over the course of only 43 days and nights, approximately 62,000-80,000 air-delivered cluster bombs were dropped on the Iraqi people by the American-led state terrorists. In addition, 10,000 MLRS rockets and 100,000 “Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition” artillery she

No. It is Al Qaida which was fuelling Saddam's hatred against the USA. His death will not deter them as they are a Jehadi suicidal group. Their total annihilation should be at the top of the agenda for war against global terrorism. His death might herald democracy and 'Limited government' under a lasting Constitution towards which the progressive Muslims should strive.

No , by invading Iraq he made it easy s for the terrorist to gain a foothold there  They have been able to get some Iraqis to join them and make them stronger . Sure we are fighting them over there . They are still killing Americans and that is what they want to do . When they turn their attention back to the US they will find many ways to come into this country and do their damage . \nWe had better wake up and tighten  up all the loose ends . \nBy the way Congress did clear it for Bush to invade , but it wasn't their idea to go , Bush pushed for it and they went along  , because he said it had to be done . Bush gave Congress the reason's  to go , and they were all wrong !!!!!

No. Iraq posed no military threat to the US.  They had nothing  to do with 9/11, but did happen to be sitting on the second largest oil reserves in the world.  This was a military adventure, a colonial war of choice - and one we are not going to win.

and while this war is going on, there has not been another attack on US soil.  We are making some serious headway in the global war against radical Islam. Money well spent to me.\n\nHere are the facts.\n\nWe invaded Iraq in March of 2003, can you tell me of a terror attack that has happened on US soil since then?

First of all, you have to make sure the people you're going to kill actually are terrorists. The War on Terror is a sham. The US isn't going after terrorism all over the world. If this was true then terrorist attacks wouldn't be at an all time high. Don't believe the hype of the talking head in Washington DC.

I feel that when 9/11 happened that I supported going to war to track down and capture the jerk that planned these attacks, Mr. Bin Laden.  And I was a strong supporter of that.  But now, the war is about something else and I don't support it.  I don't ever recall supporting the capturing of Saddam and taking over their country and building it up brand new.  I don't think it's our business, I realize that Saddam did horrible things to the people in his country, but the country was in better shape then than it is now.  The focus of our war is no longer about 9/11, it's about Bush's personal family issues, he's not doing this for the good of our country, he's doing it for himself.  I'm starting to feel that 9/11 was planned, I think that it was a conspiracy within our government, and that our President had a certain hidden agenda.

It's more than terrorism. It's genocide, plan and simple and if we weren't tied down in Iraq and Afghanistan, I"d say yes. However, I kinda remember a movie called "Black Hawk Down" and pretty sure we would just get caught in the middle, be somehow blamed for the whole mess and be attacked by both sides before it was all over.  Maybe it's time America looked out for America and get back to taking care of Americans, instead of throwing away money and lives trying to help others that, in return label us as occupiers and turn on us.

Did you happen to know that putting the US into bankruptcy is the main goal of the terrorists?  Why do you think that most of terrorist attacks are mainly happening in Iraq?

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.

I agree with, bigman2006.  Terrorism isn't just bombing places and people.  A terrorist destroys lives and has a personal agenda, such as, Bush.  Bush doesn't care about the American people but cares about big business and the rich.  Outsourcing of jobs is destroying the American dream.

Not really. In fact, the current occupation of Iraq doesn't have anything to do with the reason we went over in the first place.\n\nWe're doing nothing more than baby-sitting the country, and acting as its local police force, while it's in the middle of a civil war. There is no evidence, none, that says anything we're doing there has any effect on global terrorism. It's purely politics and empire-building.

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.\n\nIt was just another lie in the failed attempt to get Americans to support an invasion of Iraq.\n\nAl-Queda, and Al-Queda alone, attacked the US on 9/11.

No we should not; if we do al queda will recruit in Iraq, set up training camps, and eventually hit us again worse then they did in NY on 9/11.  \n\nAppeasement of the al queda network is only going to cause us great harm.  They will wait, they are patient, and they will hurt us again - unless of course we keep them on the run and eventually give them no place to hide.
