I don't really agree with the initial decision to go to war, though I do think it would be irresponsible to just pull out right now given the instability of Iraq at this point in time. Installing a western democracy into a country such as Iraq because western democracy is considered the 'right thing' is pretty stupid if you ask me. Although there are people in Iraq who are appreciative of the efforts, I really don't think the majority of Iraq people agree with the taking over and transforming of government. Just because a [temporary] democracy is installed, doesn't mean the people instantly change just like that with the snap of a finger.
Following through with a plan (is there even one?) at this point would probably be the best decision instead of just abruptly pulling out leaving the country in essentially a state of dismay.
So place me in the intermediary or undecided group - I'm supportive of the efforts in some sense, though still unsupportive in the decisions made which put it in it's current state
Nothing... I'm just saying, we're fighting our meaningless war while there are still more pressing issues. We waste Trillions on an ego trip, when we could be spending a fraction, and actually fixing problems.
Of course, "saving black people" isn't as noble a cause to American's as killing brown people...
Maybe I should peice the statement together for you...
There's an AIDS epidemic, and Genocide in Darfur... V V V
you don't honestly believe that do you?
Well, it isn't to anybody who isn't a celebrity. Otherwise, we wouldn't be wasting time, money and lives on stupid meaningless bullshit.
Put a black face on a cause, and people just don't care. Hell, America is obsessed with celebrities, and not even Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can make these assholes care about Africa.
But fucking with brown people? Now that's a cause Americans can get behind...
America's priorities are so ass backwards.
Well, Iraq didn't attack us... Your move, Sherlock.[Insert Facepalm]
Let me guess, the government did 9/11 because tormenting mexicans no longer gave W. an erection so he decided to start killing arabs too so he could once again get his jollies?
the race has nothing to do with it. if the chinese had attacked us, we'd be at war with china, if the russians had attacked us we'd be at war with russia, if canada had attacked us, we'd be at war with canada. it's that simple. and before you say something about us not helping africa, we send tons of food and medical supplies there ever year, but it's all siezed by the militants so it never reaches the people who need it. But the UN has decided to let this continue to happen and refuses to let us do anything about it, so the militants that rape and murder people are receiving all our food and medical supplies while their own people starve and are ravaged by disease. Our priorities are ass backwards? I think not.
Well, Iraq didn't attack us... Your move, Sherlock.
We already know we invaded due to faulty intelligence. Every intelligent person 14 and older knows that. It's like your a genius or something.
