What do you think about the war in Iraq?

[shehtaz huq]

I think Bush took us all on a ride. It's been four years now, and he hasn't found any WMD - makes you wonder about his dreams for 'democracy' and 'world peace', doesn't it? And almost everyone here in Bangladesh thinks Saddam Hussein's trial was a farce. Bush calls him a war criminal, says justice was dealt...well, all I'd like to say is this. If you're looking for war criminals, Mr. President, look no further than the White House, Capitol Hill. You'll find him there.

The situation in Iraq is a disgrace. The war is not over weapons of mass destruction, not about freedom for Iraq, not about anything but money. Many of the US leading politicians own shares in weaponry and oil and are receiving a huge financial benefit by the US war in Iraq. Bush has committed many war crimes including using fraud to sell the war to congress and by launching an illegal "war of agression."

George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfield are just a few of the people involved in sending this country to war to fight for absolutely nothing but money for only a few individuals.

Yes Saddam Hussein was a menace to society and deserves his death, he was a mass murderer, did not value the life of anyone but himself, and did nothing to help his country reach prosperity but...was it worth going to war, spending billions and billions of dollars, and sacrificing the lives of so many young men? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Another point I would like to make is that the United States never truly searched for Osama Bin Laden and I also believe that the Bush administration knows his location right now. The Bush and Bin Laden families have a very good relationship, especially financially. The Bin Laden family was meeting with Bush Sr. on September 10th and after the attacks in a disgraceful move the US Government allowed the family to get on a plane and flee the country without any interrogation whatsoever. Yes, Osama is separate from the family but the family does fund his terrorist campaigns along with the CIA which provided al qaeda with billions of dollars. Want another reason that we would never engage in a military campaign with Saudi Arabia? They own about 9-10% of the US economy.

I'm gonna leave it at that for now.

I don't understand who gave Bush the right to go and invade Iraq. I don't see why he had to butt in and save Iraq from Saddam. If someone wants to save America from Bush and decides to invade the country, I don't think America will appreciate the interference. Likewise, Bush has no business in Iraq. He should withdraw the troops and apologize to the world for the colossal mistake that he made. He calls Saddam Hussein a dictator when he and his yesman Blair are the biggest dictators on the face of this earth.

we went to war for oil, not to free the iraqi people
Heres what I think;
1.Iraq is NOT Vietnam
2.Get used to fighting over natural resources...its the future
3.We should not leave until Iraq is stable
4.If Iran keeps supplying terrorists (or freedom fighters depends on how you look at it) they should be next.

Excuse me, but you shouldn't be blaming Iran or Palestine for trying to defend itself. And as for supplying terrorists, what on Earth is Bush doing? He's the biggest terrosist in the world. He's turning everyone, especially the Muslim world, against him. He's selfish and a fascist and a bloody dictator. He hanged Saddam for the murder of 184 people, but no one cares about the thousands of Iraqis perishing everyday in the so-called 'war against terrorism'. And as for going to war for oil, can you really justify that? Should we all just sit back and twiddle our thumbs because that's the way the world goes round? Can we really justify the deaths of thousands for the selfish gains of one idiotic man?

[ImmortalMadness]

When I spoke on Palestine I did not say anything about defending themselves. Terrorist attacks are not defending yourself. Yes, Bush is a horrible man and leader but so was Hussein. The United States should never have gone to Iraq but that does not excuse Suddam Hussein's murders.

i don't get it. saddam can't be excused for what he did, but nobody really seems to care about what Bush and Blair are doing in, oh, I don't know, the rest of the world, maybe? Maybe Bush shouldn't be held responsible for the useless wars he waged against Afghanistan and Iraq, or the bombardment of Palestine by Israel.
Or maybe Bush deserves to die, too, just the way Saddam did. Or maybe Bush should be flayed alive. That man is a mass murderer and nothing more. He's much worse than Saddam, because he's brainwashing the whole world into thinking the Arab world is dangerous, when in fact he is the one who created the danger.

im so sick of people hating bush for this war.

whats YOUR alternative? it doesnt even matter on the end if we went to war for oil, because Iran's extremist muslims would have tried to control the middle east and "bring death to all americans." after all, the only thing they want, as extremists of their religion, is to "kill all infidels" and im not kidding or paraphrasing either.

dont get me wrong, i have no problem at all with muslims. its their religion, they have the right to keep and follow it. but the extremists are the ones trying to kill everyone. they kill themselves for the pure sake of killing as many as possible. "we do not distinguish between civilian and military" they even said. they want to kill EVERYONE, PERIOD!!!!! it doesnt matter if america's machinery ran on donkey meat, any president who DIDNT want everyone to be killed would go to war with iran to stop them.

i know, i know, were in war with IRAQ and not for ANY of the aforementioned reasons. it's clear that if (IF IF IF which we probably cant) we sort out iraq and keep the extremists out, then eventually (preferably sooner) we would have to pursue iran. we're in a war on TERROR people. completely irrelevant to any of the war in IRAQ, another motive here OTHER than oil is the war on TERROR.

did it maybe ever occur to you that bush isnt JUST after oil? MAYBE??? even if thats the main motive, then what if we win over there and iraq becomes steadily more and more stable? we still have to fight over there!!!!!!!!!!!! DUH!!!!!!

so stop beating up on bush when you KNOW that ebcause you're all so peachy and sweet and "i dont care about oil, i want to keep peace!" than give us YOUR alternative, we KNOW you'd STILL need to fight in the middle east.

jeez. sorry if i sound arrogant. i went on a tangent there....
