That would be such a great thing if all of us on Earth put our hatred of each others away, not just the US, including the Sunnis, the shia and everyone else.\n\nI don't hate any of them, and worked to help them out.  I among many more are against the war, and many of us spoke against it, but you seem to fail to recognize it ever happened!  Have you seen some of the hatred against the American! have you heard the chanting the death to the American, all of us!  \n\nYour question is so unfair! how quickly we forget 9/11 in New York, 7/7 in London, and Spain, and Egypt bombing of tourist area! etc etc.\n\nThe people of Iraq are suffering and dying.  Take a better look and see who is doing the killing! who is killing whom before you jump and accuse the American of all the hate!  pay attention to the news.  The Sunnis did this, and the shia did that, and the American did that!  how was their life before that miserable war, not so pretty as you would like to imagine it, or delusion yourself to believe.  \n\nPictures! you mean like the people who were searching for their family members on 9/11, or watching your son having his head cut off in front of you with what it appears to look like a butter knif! or watching your family member burned in a car, draged in the street, and hung on the bridge with a bunch of kids screaming with delight!  things like these!? and other more! is that what you mean!?\n\nSir, why don't you show us the way, and you start with stopping the hate.  Your question is just full of hate.  May God help us all.\n\nHave a little heart for others, all people not those whom you just care for.  I don't blame 9/11 on the Iraqis, as a matter of fact, I don't blame any group of the deed of the some.  You might try to do that as well, and not misjudge us all because you don't like what some of us or you had done.  The US is not alone in Iraq, you may not have known that.\n\nHow would you react if you saw you dad die in front of your eyes, and all he was doing is helping your people to get food, medicine and supplies, to give them aid, and the only reason he was killed was because he was an American? how would you react?? \n\n\nI am not a Bush fan, but don't bash all the American people just because of Bush. Bush will be gone when his term is over, and we will still be around, please stop the hate, it works both ways, not just one sided deal. That is the reality of us all.\n\nWe are always going to have people disagree with us, and push us around.  I am speaking of all people, not just the American; but in the end the universe will unravel as it should, and everything will be as it suppose to be.  Let's hope for the best, for all good honest people.\nStill typing

Allow Muslims to resolve their own internal conflicts, remove the US and coalition troops from the Middle East. \n\nTheir people must have the desire to create change. \n\nThe US is responsible for the current unrest in the Middle East and should acknowledge that publicly. Admit our mistakes and be willing to help resolve the problem IF (and only IF) we are asked to. Otherwise stay out and let them resolve it.\n\nA joint effort to restore tranquility must come from all neighboring countries. Non-military efforts should be tried first, focus on restoring the desire for peace among the people in that area. At the same time, raise the quality of life above survival mode and try to police the areas in order to reduce crime and violence.\n\nOtherwise, the chaotic cycle will continue.

Get the help of the UN. The UN has had many ideas for Iraq but our US government wanted to go it alone and we did. Now we are not only stuck with the mess we have paid out BILLIONS for the war.\nWhen does it stop?\nMaybe we should secure their borders to keep the terrorists out so they can rebuild their governement and cites and infastructure. We can commit to one year and then they are on their own. If they know we will not continue to throw money at their cause and that we expect them to work out their own problems and rebuilding effort they will work much faster. As it is now they dont really care the US will pay pay pay (with military and money).\n\nPut it back on their shoulders to get the job done.

Go tell the insurgents to stop killing each other.

big waste of everything. Yeah, I'm sure killing innocent Iraqis is one less innocent Iraqi to kill over here.  What we did to Iraq is equivilant to a bully beating the crap out of someone and then telling him that he beat him up  for his own good. Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity.

Keep killing them until they stop.\n\nThe extreme answer is nuke the entire muslim world.  Don't really want to do that though

The best way to stop terrorist.Is quit kissing the arabs butts for there oil. Not allow arabs to come to the United States. Mixing arabs and Americans is like mixing oil and water. It doesnt work.  Most muslims will never be happy until all christians are destroyed. That is the objective of the muslim religion.The arabs know that certain Americans are going to be kissing there butts.. They use that for there terrorist advantage. Sometimes I wonder if some Americans are being sacrified for the oil by the goverment.

Just pull the troups out and let them come home, they have done their job. Iraq will have a civil war regardless if we stay or not so why not just let them have at it and not lose anymore American lives.

MAN  we need to just sit around and take it just like we have for the past 20 years.  Let the terrorist continue to kill Americans and just try to suppress it so no one in the United States hears much about it.  When we go to war it's all over the media so everyone hears about all the americans getting killed.  Let's pull out of Iraq and let the terrorists go back to what they were doing...killing americans without it being so public.

You know by looking at my rating I have half a brain I spend half my time laughing at the spelling, questions and ohhh God these answers, enough to know why American is in trouble. However, you are one of the true intelligent ones.  I will beat you are not American, are you?  I agree and if you want to hang Saddam for killing 300,000 Iraqi what do you want to do to someone who has killed 600,000 along with 2700+ Americans.\n\n"Retired Army War College prof. and CIA analyst (6 years) answers questions ranging from the gassing of the Kurds in Halabja [Iraq was not responsible, nor was it genocide by the Iranians], to Israel's push for war on Iraq; and the "chief enemy of the peace movement, the media."\n\nAmericans believe what the want, you're a racist if you love the Confederacy or its flag, Saddam did this or that.  The CIA reports that Saddam did not gas the Kurds!  If you do not believe that file a Freedom of Information Request, see FOIA site below it fills out the request for you (I did -he didn't).  But see for your self!\n\n\nGod Bless You and The Southern People.

Most of the people fighting in Iraq are minorities... and since when does the act of killing another being prove you are American. I thought being American meant spreading capitalism and exploiting third world countries like Mexico. Killing Native Americans and displacing Mexicans off their land does not give anyone the right to be American and stay in this land.

The Iraqi people are involved in a civil war now and if we leave now or later doesn't make any differnce they will be involve in a civil war, I say pull out now and let them settle it. No more American lives should be lost to a lost cause, and a misguided war from the begining.

They won't stop. They feel it furthers their cause when they kill the infidels, as the american soldiers are called. The people in Iraq killing soldiers are theones who were loyal to Saddam and the ones who have an extreme hatred for the USA. The ones who are loyal to Saddam want things to go back to way they were when they had free run of the country and Saddam was lining their pockets with millions of dollars, the ones who hate the USA are coming in from other countries and fighting because they feel we are against muslims. Funny how we have muslims in the US who are free to practice their religion freely and peacefully. No matter what may happen there will always be people who practice their religion to the extreme edges of what is written.

America likes numbers and pictures. Think about what ended Vietnam - the pictures of soldiers dying and children burning. In Iraq, you have the best censorship that money can buy. But you can't hide the numbers - nearly 3000 soldiers killed. Over 20,000 injured. Some 500,000 Iraqi civilians killed. \n\nThe figures stick out for people. Then they start to see what's really happening. They start reading news sources other than the ones on FOX or CNN. They get a fuller picture. They have coffins returning to their home towns. Then it gets personal. \n\nThe bungled post-war planning is akin to criminal negligence. Someone should be held accountable.

JUST 4 YOUR IGNORANCE!\nBlame your government, bcz you are brainwashed a majority of you, just as you believed killing millions in Iraq ,Vietnam ,helping Israel to kill Palestinians ,and killing millions in Japan before of that was necessary,? killing and Enslaving millions of Africans, as well as the destruction of the native Americans(Indians). you used to be proud to be Americans, but the TRUTH MUST SET YOU FREE! Do like most of YOU real Americans do, ignore Bush&Company. Morons and idiots run your country. I'm just glad they do open their fat mouths 4 the Iraqi PETROL ..killing your people there!, that way you know who to ignore as to who to approach. CHEERS and good day!

Yes. consider this:\nYou have a neighbor, a husband and wife with 3 kids. The husband constantly abuses the wife in front of her children. He sometimes even abuses the kids. Publically he laughs saying it isn't abuse at all,rather, husbandly love. The wife has bruises up and down her body, the kids have made several trips to the er room with "mysterious" broken bones. The police come to investigate the father time and time again but yet nothing happens. What do you do as a good neighbor who knows the truth about the abuse? Do you let the woman and children go on being abused or do you somehow try to intervene?\nWhat is the difference between that scenario and IRAQ?\nYes, the reasons that we used to go to IRAQ probably weren't the right reasons. But we brought Democracy to a country that has never had that freedom. We ended the rapings of innocent little children. We ended genocide from within the borders of IRAQ because the rest of the world was willing to listen in the news about the abuses. Only America had the courage and or audacity to intervene.
