What do the Iraqi people think of American liberals desperate to sell them out to Iran, Syria, and Al Qaeda?
831021
They think their life was better under Hussein, that it is OK to attack and kill Americans, and they want America out of their country. They prefer Iran and Syria to the US.

The liberals thrive on pessimissm and hoplessness. If Evil-White-Male-Bush is leading our country to DOOM, then we "need" them to rescue us. After all, America deserved 9/11 for our attitude. America is weak. We should have involved the U.N., despite all those oil kickbacks. The Muslims are really innocent-its the Christian right that are monsters.

Because that is what the bleeding heart liberals (aka Demorats) want them to believe.  Iraq is part of 9/11, but far more too.

Hmmm, we did buy Louisianna and Alaska... and we did kill off the natives throughout the west... and we did have a war with the south to make them stay in the union...  I just don't think Americans would like the outcome of an Iraq 51st state national election... ha, and I'm pretty sure Iraqi's have no desire to become a US state.

They just don't like what President Bush is doing right now with the War on Iraq,   They know that everything is going great with the economy, and that just drives them crazy.  Liberals seem to think more than act.

First, your question is flawed by assuming the war is for oil.\n\nSecond, I have done two tours in Iraq. The vast majority of Iraqis love Americans. The kids love us and want to shake our hands. The adults love us and regularly invite us to dinner and special occasions. They love us when we build schools. They love us when we build roads. They love us when we rid villages of insurgents.\n\nDon't believe what the liberal media is spinning. They have an agenda just like you.

Well A good question but not enough . Why is america caring about the whole world who gave the authority to america to bully around its only the nuclear and the latest mass destuction weapons it has that all those leading the country are shameless people can do anything for money and oil ..... They got a new issue to occupy the whole world by saying we love democracy and they kill every one who oppose them .. Even if some one ask for its own right and that is against the american policy he is surely in deep trouble belive me u can get enough evidence for this ... They killed million in afghanistan only as they wanted to hunt couple of 100's qaeda people who are so called sponsors of 9-11 attack. killed millions in iraq saying iraq is having mass destruction weapons so do u america y dont u get the hell out of arabs place and let us leave in peace ... when USA got exposed that no mass destruction weapon is there in IRAQ the fools tried to lie again saying we wanted to librate iraqis from saddam ... and now wants to stay in iraq as it fears iran could invade it and then supply lot of weapons to israel to eliminate iran and arabs around living in the horrors of israel ... lol funny this is that killing million in the name of al qaeda i dont no till when YOu america will tell lies to your people ...... shame on you ...

I won't say all, but a lot of Liberals hate America.  It's almost like they are in bed with the terrorists to destroy the USA.  Liberal politicians are always calling those who disagree with them 'names' just like they did on the playgrounds when they were in school.  They whine to the point I'm tempted to give them some cheese.  They are first to be critical but never offer any suggestions for change or correction.  They have the public snowed with promises of better days, jobs, and paychecks.  Oh yeah, did I mention the epidemic they have called lying?\n\nI am an American and I will fight and die for my country.  If it is so bad here then why not move away?  I'm sure Mexico, Canada, Palestine, and Iraq have some good land deals!

To answer your question directly, NO... American troops should not heed your warning.\n\nThe Iraq war was over in a little under two weeks from start to finish, so whether or not it  was based on lies or paid for by Wal Mart and Macdonalds in some "War for Burgers" scandal is immaterial. Its happened so get over it.\n\nThe troops are still there three years later because the politicians have not yet been able to make the peace work, and until the security vacuum is filled a withdrawal will lead to a complete social and civil collapse.\n\nAnother little history lesson for you K-9.\n\nIraq is a "made up" country. It never existed before 1930 and was created by the British and French as they found ways to divide up and more effectively rule their middle eastern territories.\n\nAs such it is comprised of a number of different ethnic and religious groups who at best have nothing in common and at worst hate each other with a passion.\n\nThe Kurds in the north want their own state, and by the way they want that state to include a bit of Turkey and a bit of Iran as well, so that would be a nice little flashpoint without any security forces and a unified Iraqi government wouldnt it.\n\nThe southern marsh arabs who are Shi'ite muslims have close ties and allegiances to Iran and without an Iraqi infrastructure or security mechanism would likely accede to Iran with the rest of Southern Iraq.\n\nThat would leave the middle strip of Iraq where the people are predominantly Sunni Muslims and Baathists as an impoverished country with no natural resources (all the oil is in the Kurdish North and Shi'ite south), no economy and probably somali style war lords. \n\nDo you think that would all be a good thing?\n\nThe war happened, its done, it cannot be undone, it will only be worse on the people or Iraq, the region and the world if we now cut and run before the country is re-built.

If the Iraqis do not really take responsibility for their safety (and quit aligning themselves with militias)?  You'll get a country that harbors terrorists.  And a less safe America.\n\nOn the same token, Osama Bin Ladin called for a fatwa against America because we built bases in "holy land", so there is no right answer.  We stay we lose, we leave we lose. \n\nMoral of the story? \n\nDon't start wars with countries that have little or nothing to do with terrorism, because then people use that as a rallying cry to recruit more terrorists (read the NIE).

The problem with the question is that there are many diffrent terrorist factions, many with diffrent motives.\n\nI will address specifically Bin Landen's Al Queda, and theocratic facist. This story does involve Iraq.\n\nOnce upon a time........\n\n*The US was fighting in the cold war with Russia.\n*We financed and armed Afgan rebels to repell the Russians.\n**Bin Laden in the conflict in Afganistan becomes a CIA assest.\n**Bin Landen surives a granade attack, and believes that his God had saved him. He becomes hardcore fundamentilist. \n**Through Islam he see the west as infidels who want to conquer the Muslim world for oil, ect ect ect...\n**FAST foward to BUSH 1,  G. Herbert Bush...and Regan, we support Sadam against the regime in Iran.\n**We give Sadam WMD's, gasses you name it to use against Iran.\n**Meanwhile we are also arming Iran in order to support the Contras war in El Salvador..hence "Iran Contra"\n** Iraq and Sadam are screwed over by russia financially, so they want to take over Kwait which they claim is theirs and which they claim is slant drilling.\n********************** Sadam sends an embassador to the US to OK his actions of invading Iraq...because the US was thier Ally.\n**Sadam invades, the united states convinces Sudia Arabia with doctored photos Iraq troop build up on the Sudi border.\n** The US builds the Bin Sultan Air Base in Sudia Aribia.\n**US leaves Iraq in oder to not create a Islamic State like Iran.\n\n***Bin Laden see the Bin Sultan Air Base as part of the west's attack on mulism culture and will not have the US on Muslim holy land.\n***project for a new american century writes papers and stratiegies to invade the Middle East in order to secure oil.\n**WTC is hit the first time early in Clintons presidency....\nwe capture the people involved and convict.\n***While Bush is govener, Tali Ban Represntetives come to Texas, most likely to discuss the planned pipeline through their country.\n\n*******Before leaving office the Clinton white house reports that the greatest threat facing the new century is Terrorism.\n**Bush 2 takes office, Representative  go to Afganistan again offer "carpet of gold or carpet of bombs." in order to build pipeline for gas and oil intrest.\n**Bush vacations on his ranch and never meets with Counter Terriosm expert...ever. \n**PDB, Bin Laden determined to attack...\n** Our country is attacked.

I think we are already at war with Iran. Who do you think is behind the majority of the insurgency in Iraq? Who has the most to gain if Iraq is not stable? Who is surrounded by Americans and deathly afraid of invasion?\n\nPick up a book called Militant Tricks: Battlefield Ruses of the Islamic Insurgent. It does a pretty good job of explaining the 36 strategms of Asian warfare. Once you understand those 36 strategms you can understand 4th generation warfare (4GW). Once you understand 4GW, you can see what is happening in Iraq and who is behind it.\n\nIt is all about deception - much more than a typical westerners understanding of deception. This deception is total and complete to the point that Sunnis will bomb Sunnis to make the dumb westerners think the Shia are doing it. They will sacrifice hundreds of fighters to give the west the illusion that a particular city is an insurgent stronghold when the real stronghold is hundreds of miles away.\n\nSome will argue 4GW is new. It is not. It is how the Afghans defeated the Soviet Union, and it is how the Iranians will defeat us in Iraq. We Americans are not used to this type of warfare, and we had better get out heads out of our fourth point of contact before it is too late.\n\n4GW is also the reason Muslims do not speak out against terrorist acts very often. It is not necessarily viewed as being wrong in Asian cultures. Yes, I said Asian and not Muslim. It is a facet of warfare mindset in Asia. Human life is not valued as much as it is here. Certain collateral losses are accepted and, indeed, expected.\n\n\nP.S. What proof do you have that the CIA gave Iran flawed nuclear bomb plans? How do you know something went wrong and the Iranians were able to use the plans to their advantage? That is some pretty classified stuff to just be throwing around on Yahoo! Answers. Either give us some sources or stop talking out of your rear end.

It is nice to hear someone, who like the majority of Americans, does not take what their government says for face value.\n\nJust as not every American thinks every Iranian wants to destroy us, I would hope that not every Iranian thinks every American wants to destroy them.\n\nMost Americans, 99% of them, don't want to hate people.  The problem I think, lies within the people who represent our nations.  On one hand you have President Bush and others, who trying to protect our country, have tried to get people to realize that there are fundemental, radical muslims in the middle east who want to kill them.  We don't believe that ALL muslims want to kill us, but there are a large group of them who do.\n\nOn the other hand, you have the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is trying to guide his people towards a certain goal.  I myself have my own, personal opinions on what that goal is, but that would take more time to describe than I have.\n\nSo, it is very hard to descern what the average American or average Iranian believes, when we have very public, very outspoken icons standing up, spouting rhetoric.\n\nSo to you answer your question from a personal persepective, yes I support the current war.  Under Saddam Hussien, the Iraqi people were repressed and did not have the freedom they deserve, to be their own people.  I do not want to kill people.  I simply do not.  As for my government being honest, no.  I would be naive to think that my government is completely honest, but then again, the flip of that coin, is that no goverment is completely honest.\n\nI hold to V's statement "People should not fear their government, goverments should fear the people."

Well, \nA. they aren't hornets,they're people... but of course your a conservative, and no one is actually a person to you unless they are white and rich.. hahahah\nB. I think we've done some good things... I mean Saddam was a bad guy... granted... we give quite a bit of money to needy countries... probably not half as much as U.S. corporations pillage.. but still... you said policy... not overall... \nI personally think it's in the application... good ideas at times... horribly executed... it seems like Bush thinks everyone was raised in Texas with his values and beliefs... and he gets confused when other people react differently to a situation than he does... everyone's not the same... that doesn't make them bad or stupid, you just have to see things through their eyes... which we have done an extremely poor job of.

The "experts" aren't always 'expert' in their way of thinking. What is worse than hundreds of Iraqis being killed everyday EVEN THOUGH the United States troops are still there!? You have "violence and chaos" everyday in Iraq. Every single day.\n\nUnfortunately many in the United States simply do not care about other people. They fail to recognize that many Iraqis truly want peace and stability. Those who do want change, want only the lesser of two evils. That US troops go home, rather than to kill them.\nBush wants Iran to stay out of Iraqi affairs. This will not happen as Iraq needs Iran. In fact they have already made up their minds that Iran will be a part of their upcoming decisions. Maliki made a telling statement this morning., He didn't seem to back off of what our president wants. My guess is that Maliki has already talked to not only Iran, but Syria as well.  This is THEIR Middle East.\nThe US has left permanent unforgettable footprints on Iraqi soil. Such footprints have stomped on other nations where the U.S. simply had no business interfering.\nLeave Middle East business to the Middle East before we are all engaged in another world war.

I think it would depend on the circumstances. Undoubtedly, some Americans would fight , no matter what the intentions of the invaders. \n\nIf we had been suffering under an abusive, oppressive, dictatorial regime, and the Iranians offered some measure of freedom, I think they would win popular support among Americans.\n\nIf they invaded now, with things as they are, they would face tremendous opposition. We have a pretty good system now, and what the Iranians have to offer doesn't even come close.\n\nI know the point you are trying to make here, but I think you are seeing a false equivalence between U.S. democracy and Baathist rule of Iraq. Our system, whatever it's flaws, at least has a fundamental respect for the rights of the individual. Hussein's system did not. Our system is open to popular influence...his certainly was not. You can't hypothetically "turn things around" without acknowledging this.
