the reason we are in iraq and the rest of the middle east is simple. all those people who wandered the globe openly hating americans finally decided to bring the fight to us. they attacked and killed thousands of innocent people on our home soil.
this is completely unacceptable and has been met with the appropriate response.
do i believe in war as a solution to political problems? NO
do i like knowing that so many sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and friends are at terrible risk? NO
do i believe that americans have the right to live without having to fear what some thirdworld retard is gonna blow up next? YES
americans have always taken pride in protecting themselves from an offensive postition. even a glance at history makes that clear. so why is it such a problem when we are doing it this time?

um...come again... Al Queda and Bin Laden attacked America. Most hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, was there even one that was from Iraq? yet Saudi Arabia is still around and kicking. Why do people always confuse "war on terrorism" and war in iraq?
i mean wasnt Bush the one who was preaching about WMDs that iraq doesnt have anymore. and if WMDs were the case why not attack North Korea they are far more unstable and ACTUALLY posses the damn thing. There's always China and they are communist, and as i learn in HS all communists are evil. And then there's my country that just several months ago increased its nuke production by about 200%. Oh and you cant forget that we (russia) supply Iran with all the "bad stuff" altho at the same time we sell weapons to Israel so they can kick the **** out Iran when the light finally drops. There's also India that has been buying all Russian weapons for years and does have WMDs too - however i cant come up with nothing bad about Indians so ill leave them alone. So umm...how come those countries are OK to have WMDs and others arent?
ohh BTW im not an anti-war hippie, i was all for the war in Afganistan cuz there was an actual cuz for it but war in Iraq is just a joke. Daddy couldnt finish the job so the son had to step in. Oh and please dont tell me what happened with kurds billion years ago. Any of the countries ive mentioned above have done pretty much the same yet they are still there. ok now someone feel free to enlighten me without locking this thread.
