end of the war in iraq?
814782
I'm willing to bet that, with a now Democratic controlled congress, troop withdrawls will begin sooner as opposed to later.  I'm a registered Republican, but I like Barak Obama's view that, if we start pulling out, it somewhat forces the new Iraqi government to step up.\n\nThe problem is, if that backfires, we'll have another Somalia on our hands where various factions are fighting for control of the same area.  That would not be good.\n\nTo answer the question directly though, I'll simply point out that, after how many years, we still have troops in Korea AND it's still technically a country at war.  It doesn't look good for the home team.

The world is comming to an end?

Ironically enough, we should continue with the war now, for the same exact reason we had for ending the war without taking out Saddam Hussein during Operation Desert Storm. It would create a power vaccuum in the country destabilizing the entire region, because every surrounding nation, and every billionaire sheik with delusions of grandeur would make a play to rule a country without a solid government and a means to defend itself. If we were to leave now, the entire region would be thrown into utter chaos. I'm a Marine. I am NOT pro war. But I do support the war. There is a difference. There are hard decisions to be made. And one of those hard decisions is to finish what we start. No matter how unpleasant it may be. And yes, "unpleasant" may well be the understatement of the century. But it is what it is. And we can't just up and leave millions of people ungoverned and undefended, no matter how badly terrorist organizations would like us too. And here's another thing to chew on. Terrorist organizations the world over are throwing resources and manpower at us in Iraq. This is true. But really, isn't it better for the U.S. to wage the war there, rather than on the streets of New York, or Chicago, or Charlotte?\n\nI will pray for the souls of those we lost so horribly, and for their families who have to live with the loss. I ask anyone who reads this post to take a few seconds of your day, to pray to your God as well.

When it is done. Don't you people realize this is not a movie and it doesn't get resolved in 2 hours and 5 minutes? When we ended WWII, it took almost 10 years to get both Germany and Japan running on their own again.\n\nAnd for those of you who think what's happening in Iraq is new or unique, you are wrong! At the end of WWII in Germany, there was a long fight with militant Nazi's who still wanted to fight the war. They bombed civilians who helped the allies, assassinated members of the new German government, and tried to terrorize the country as a whole. This went on through the end of the 1940's. They called themselves, "The Werewolves"\n\nHere is a great website detailing the parallels between post-war Germany and Iraq:\n\nhttp://www.talkingproud.us/International090103.html

The Iraq war will soon end with the withdrawal of Americans.  Iraq will have a disastrous civil war.

Well, forst of all there is no comparison between Iraq and Vietnam.  One was essentially a Civil War and the other is a nation under seige by foreign terrorists.\n\nFighting in that region of the world will never end.  It has been happening for over 3,000 years, and will go on for aother 3,000 years.  It is going to take a change inmindset in order for it to stop.\n\nDo I think the current conflict will end?  Yes, when the people of Iraq take controll of their own nation, and are able to stop the terrorists that have infiltrated their country.\n\nOf course, it does not help when neighbors like Syria and Iran help those terrorists.

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.

2.5% of Iraq's population has died...when?  Maybe provide some follow-up statement and context for your quesion.  I'm sure everyone will blame the US, it seems to be the cool thing to do lately.  I will give you this, the US did light the fuse in that part of the world, but it was bound to happen eventually.

How do you think the Vietnam war ended.

Yes you can - the war is over!\n\nF76

Yes.\nIt cost thousands of lives,hundreds of billions of dollars,\nand lowered the standing of the U.S. in the international\ncommunity. Even when the war ends there will be a cost-the\npeace of mind of many who served,suffering from post-traumatic stress.\n All of this to confiscate Weapons of Mass Destruction that\nnever existed.\n Invading Iraq was a colossal mistake.

It was on the news today. President Bush said that he will not pull the troops out of Iraq, even if the American people want it done. This war will still be going on when he leaves office. And when we (U.S.) finally leave, we will have won nothing, and they will still be killing one another. (It saddens me to say these things, but it is my belief, not a condemnation of policy).\n  I hope I'm wrong and that Iraq gains democracy and self control of their Country. I would love to  say I was mistaken in my judgement of events.

We will come home from Iraq when the Iraqis are ready to take control of their own country and will not slip back into the way things used to be.  Anyone who thinks that as soon as a democrat becomes president, they will just end our efforts in Iraq is very mistaken.  So you people think that after the progress that we have made, we should just pull out now without completing the job?  Anyone ever heard of Vietnam?  The one war we weren't completely committed to?  And how does it compare with the other wars that we have been in and did the right way?  Which war do we look back on now with the most regret?  Vietnam, because we went in half-assed and lost thousands of soldiers for nothing.  Compare that with WW2 where we lost many more soldiers, but finished the job.

I prefer to think our war is over and we are providing security while Iraq establishes its democratic government.  I think that has become our role.\n\nLiberals prefer to call it "Bush's war in Iraq," which strikes me as pure terrorist propaganda.\n\nEither way, we are likely to be there a while.

When thier mission has been accomplished. Often the end result of a war is not known till many years after the fact. We should have ended this the first time we dealt with Iraq in the 90's. We prematurely withdrew then, and it is imperative that we stick this one throught to the end...whenever that may be. Support our troops! They are the very life-blood of this country! Let them know that thier efforts are not in vain and that they are very much needed and appreciated!!! For those of you who fear for the loss of American lives...yes, weep for them, mourn them...but it was a choice they made when they enlisted, so support the decision that they have made and support them!

Dear Friend.....!\n\nThe only way to end the war in Iraq is "to conquer Iraq and keep it directly under the control of U.S. Government".\nStrict Military Disciplinary action is to be taken against all the defaulters and no mercy should be shown to them.
