yes it was a fast time, but i can imagine that because the price of gas is keep rising, and i dont like that part of the war. This is terrible, i think we should just be isolationist and mind our own business.

We have no right to interrupt in other countries' business.

[bigboy]

Hard to believe. And theres still discussion if we even should have gone to war.

[Nitrus]

Well call me mean, but I think the war was part of GWBs plan to get more oil. Stupid theory really but makes sense. How long before he cooks up a reason to invade Saudi Arabia, and then TB (blair) follows him like a pet. It makes me sick. :(

[khuldun]

Yeah true. it was part of the plan to get oil producing countries under US through invasion, But now US is losing it in Iraq and is always loosing allies. I think its high time Bush returned to his own backyard.

[DemocraticWoof]

I am sure a lot of Civil companies are benefitting from it

I agree with you when you say that Iraq was illegal and it was just a plan to snatch oil. Many people may disagree however if Bush remains on the seat believe you me Iran is not going to be left alone.

[FucangLong]

I agree with Unknownz about Iraq, but Nitrus does have a point. All the bad things Bush wants to change in Iraq, are twice as bad in Saudi Arabia. As long as we keep getting oil from Saudi Arabia, I doubt we will ever invade them.

[RageD]

Yeah.. Eventhough it has been three years, unless you keep tabs on it, to all of us over here the war is not so real. Everyone says it's over, but there still is death, bloodshed, pain, and sorrow. So, there is still a war.

-RageD

[FucangLong]

We have grown so accustomed to death since the war started. Everyday I flip open the paper and another dozen soldiers and citizens have been killed in Iraq. It has just become an oridnary thing. Before 3 years ago, if 20 soldiers died in foreign soil, we would become outraged.

It may be 3 years now, but the US is going to be Iraq for more years to come definitely because of the rebuild process :(

Forgive me...I live in Canada:(

I am saddened at the amount of death this war is causing.
I see it on tv alot and it breaks my heart to see the families
of all these young soldiers, trying to cope with the loss!..
It is so sad! - I hope and pray that all will come to an end soon and
these young people can return to their normal lives (well, normal after fighting a war)

Still waiting for any proof at all on this. If you have anything... anything at all, please share it.

ooh yeah, because isolationism has been such a great policy in the past... if it wasnt for the isolationist morons in the 1930s, over over 25 million lives would have been saved in WW2. Isolationism does not work, The world is better off without saddam. Iraq is better off without saddam. If you people really cared about human life, you would be willing to make sacrifices to save the millions of people who die to dictators like saddam. Iraq will prove to be a great success in the coming years once the government is established. Just look at afghanistan as an example.

But hey! maybe i'm wrong, who cares if millions of people die so long as 2000 of our people live. America is just as bad as the people commiting the acts if we just stand and watch when we could be stopping it. These dictators have no right to murder their people, its not like we are invading innocent countries.

I love the it was over oil argument.

I just sit back, grab some corn, fire up some back bacon on the Coleman, pop some cold ones and watch the lunacy ensue.Â*Â*

It's like watching pro-wrestling.

You know the posters can't really mean what they say but they make it look so real and convincing anyways.Â*Â*

I'm curious, does the "No blood for oil!" crowd realize that um, if we were intent on stealing oil from Iraq and weren't really concerned about human life or world opinion we could probably dig out a few dozen neutron bombs, fry the population and leave all the equipment and fields intact?Â*Â*Do you not think that a few hundred sorties of B-52's with FAE's couldn't level every place in Iraq that resembles civilization in that country?

If this were all about profit, genocide, oil BLAH BLAH BLAH there are far more efficient and cleaner ways to do it.

Put it this way, do you think any country with nuclear weapons would stand up against us on Iraq if we turned it into Glassparkinglotistan?

Nope.

[E-Z-B]

The problem with that argument, PAD, is that if you wipe out the Iraqi population, then you better be prepared to wipe out 1/3 of the world population. Every muslim country will rally to Iraq's side (or what's left of them). Then, the U.S. would most likely face sanctions that would destroy our economy since we're too dependent on foreign trade now.
