War has started

I believe the people need liberating. He is a dictator and mentally unstable. Not a good combo. He commits mass genocide and tried to kill Bush senior. These are a few other reasons we are why we are invading.

The people DO need liberating, but the US doesn't care about the people.
As I said before, Robert Mugabe has butchered white land owners, and because they were the farmers, his people now starve, the US did nothing.
King Jong Il, tortured his people inside pyongyang, the US did nothing.
Let's face it, this war sure as hell isn't about the people.
And, one other thing, I'm pretty sure I said before, Iraq is capable of meeting, and surpassing Saudia Arabia in oil production, their only limiting factor is their antiquated technology. Otherwise, they could export much more oil. And the US could get their hands on millions of barrels per day, for, relatively, next to nothing. It would also be a long term solution, any government in Baghdad would thereafter have strong ties with the US, and would continue to provide them with cheap oil for a long long time.

Just to be very clear I am not here to start an arguement with you. But if the U.S. doesn't do it who will? You seem to be asking why didn't America help with all those problems but then again did your country do anything to aid them? It's seems to be easy for people to point fingers at the U.S. I talk to people from all over the world and in the end we all want a good life and peace. We also have agreed there really is no easy way of getting there. I think it's great we can all come together like this and share our views. This IS what it is all about. I will never say you are wrong, we all look at things from different angles from different cultures.

As you said the U.S. government may not care about the people but I see those kids on T.V. and I pray they get a real chance at life. Its really is disheartening to see Anti-American protestors screaming and burning flags in the streets along with there children, the hate and brainwashing runs so deep in some countries that these kids will never be able to form there own opinions. If diplomacy worked 100% there never would be war but that will never happen with people that strive for nothing more that power.

I'm sick of this argument

Then don't come here. It's that simple. Don't neg people me because you don't like what's been going on here for a week. Just don't read it. If you had some objection to what I was saying, than that would make sense. However, you do not, you just don't like this thread, then, don't read it. So, please, no AP game, I don't want people to become scared of negs.
Also, I'm going away for about 2 weeks people. So, I won't be able to continue with this anymore, I've enjoyed it though, thanks for the discussion. I hope to read a lot more in this thread when I get back.

If, in fact, we were going into Iraq for oil alone. I would not be against it. Even down to the cellular level, the strong eats the weak. On the same token, I also care about the Iraqq people. They need us there. I woke up early and heard Bush give a warning to the people of Iraq that we are coming in. It was obviously translated into their language. It is/was not a surprise that we were coming in. There are laws of war that every American soldier is following over there, regardless of how the enemy acts. We treat POW's well and do not flaunt the enemies dead on T.V. We are doing the right thing by invading.

As to the protesters... While annoying, they have a right to voice their opinion. As a soldier, I am very angered by their response. However, I have sworn to fight for their right to do that.


Have to go, more to follow

Cor out...

All I'm going to say is that I have two family members over there now, and my boyfriend is leaving for Basic in two weeks, I just hope whatever happens, happens quickly and my family can come back home. This war has gotten extremely personal for me, and I support our troops over there, and pray for them all to come home safe. I pray for the civilians caught up in the crossfire, and the British forces fighting by our side!

yet another lesson in economics.
america will get little if any profit from the seel of the oil, it will be closly monitored and not worth the risk. the un is more corrupt than any other org. in the world and is the MOST likly to mismanage it. the few un projects that do work, are hte independent ones the operate under the un directive. to set one of those up will take months. the "profit from all this will come not from oil, but from the rebuilding. there are few componies in iraq, or even the middle east that can handle some of the things that will need to be fixed, so the us will put it up for bid. most likly a us company.

Just a small request.

Could some of you, you know who you are, please proofread your posts. It would be really nice to see proper grammar, complete sentences, and correct capitalization and punctuation. It would make reading your posts much more enjoyable, as well it would make you sound some what intelligent.

Thank you.

Yes please , it sounds like worm wood has been partaking of the famous and very potent drink made with his name (absinth )

nope, i wished though.
i just type when im at work, whitch means i am on the phone normaly talking and bringing other things us, so i type as fast as i can, and just do a quick proofread. i try to catch the most obvious, plus the fact that i never could spell anyway. lol in 4th grade my reading level was higher than most college kids yet i could never spell. drove my teachers crazy.
