I recently received an email from a friend in Iraq who said that it's a completely different atmosphere where "70% of people want us here and know we need to be here, 5% don't want us here (the insurgents), and 20% are rich enough they don't have to care.  The US is crying for us to leave and push the Iraqi's to "run" when they're hardly able to crawl on their own..."\n\nI think regardless of elections, etc we need to be there at least another 3 years.  \n\nHow long do I THINK we'll be there?  I dunno, the "War" in Iraq is technically over, but the "War on Terrorism" should never cease...

Just about all wars see major shifts in goals and tactics at some point making the original goals and tactics obsolete.  If we leave Iraq tomorrow the result would be a major power struggle resulting in a winner.  that winner will be the badest of the bunch and most likely hate the west.  We will leave him the 2nd largest oil reserves in the world.  He will spend that oil wealth on exporting terror with the best weapons money can buy.  We are part of this world we better have a force there!!

I think the general public of Iraq want this fighting to end more than we do!  Just remember that people are people, just with cultural differences.  If all people treated each other with respect the communication would flow freely and maybe we could learn to understand each other.

There will NEVER be peace throughout the world, at any given time there are at least 5 wars going on, many we are involved in but with less news coverage, WWII was over 60 years ago and we still have troops in Germany, Korea ws 50 years ago still have troops there. As long as one country has something another country wants there will be war, Until we have alternative fuels or the middle east runs out of oil we will be in Iraq

How to stop the war....hmmm... well you could make all of the insurgents in Iraq throw down their weapons... or maybe make it so that when our military finally does leave there won't be groups of terrorists rushing back into the area to occupy it. Until then I don't think the war will end... so deal with it.

Will the war ever be justified to someone like you? As can be seen from your question, no.  You have already made up your mind.  \n\nSaddam Hussein was a ruthless dictator who killed millions, used WMDs, and numerous intelligence sources stated that he was ready to use them again.\nMillions of Iraqis who are free to now vote for their own futures believe the war was justified.  Millions of children who can go to school and learn, allowing Iraq to move into the 21st century will make the war worth it.\n\nNaysayers like you would have stopped after Gettysburg, saying the loss of life isn't worth it.  You would have pulled troops out in the middle of Normandy, since Germany never attacked us, Japan did.\n\nEach day Iraqi that wakes up with his and her God-given freedom to do as s/he wishes and live a good life is justification.

Killing in Iraq will end about the same time killings in the rest of the world will end - when God wipes evil from the earth.\n\nAs for Vietnam, yes some of us remember the lessons learned there.  That's why we're not leaving until the job is finished this time.  We will gradually pull out as the new government in Iraq gradually learns to stand on it's own figurative two feet.

Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, there is going to be some sort of permanent presence of the US military in Iraq basically forever. We retain soldiers in Japan, in Italy, in Germany, in the Indian Ocean, on the Arabian peninsula, in Thailand, etc. The Middle East is going to continue to be of strategic importance to both the US and our European allies, even if we continue to have slap fights with them like we are now.\n\nThe only question is, will the US military stay in a combat mode in Iraq? I believe that, eventually, the military and political process in Iraq will be successful, and the combat position of our military will be greatly reduced. The idea that the American military presence in Iraq will ever be reduced to zero is unnecessarily misleading, and will only lead to further recriminations both with the Iraq people and with the US population.

I think that the war in Iraq is a war that cannot be won just like the war on terror, sure we can do things to help the cause but the actual war/wars are not going to be won. I just cant believe how many people still think that we can win this war. I don't know if it is worse than Vietnam, we lost over 50,000 people there but the long term ramifications of this war cannot be measured.

If your a Christian, you KNOW this has to happen.\n\nIf your not a Christian, you would not understand it anyway.\n\n\nThis did happen.  It is happening now.\n\nThere will be no end to this war over there.\n\nIt will only end when the 7 years of peace is signed.\n\n3 1/2 years later...KaBoom....\n\n.

Never. Iraq was not a succesful example for US. They'll put more economical pressure on Iran rather than military action.

No one day it will happen, probably from war. Its just a matter of time. When? I couldnt tell you.

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!
