I,for one,find it utterly pointless.I don't think that we had any right at all to go there in the first place.And when I say the first place,I mean with George Bush Senior.Sure,a couple of good things did come out of it,but to actually go in there and send thousands of people(Not just soldiers,but innocent suvillians as well) to their death is just sick!Bush is probaly just trying to finish what his father started and got out.
Sad how people don't learn from history.
Kind of like Hitler and Napoleon.But,that's slightly off subject.

Okay, well, here's my thinking: we should have freaking stayed in Afghanistan and hunted Bin Laden down like the sorry dog he is, but Bush... ick....
It is not the job of ANY president of this country to be "The Decider." The president should listen to his/her people and act on their behalf. They should decide nothing except in the case of a crisis.

Do you even know how congress works?He isn't the only person who has a say in the matter.People have to vote,and they voted for other people to go to the war.
Bluddy Roses,what do you not get?

The Senate decides that, the president just brings it up..He has to wait for their votes to go any further.

I surely think this war is a load of bologna.-.- ... There is no point of us being in Iraq any further and torturing these poor citizens.. Do you know how many regular people our army has killed?... Innocent poeple are dying on both sides and I dont believ we should be there any longer... Its completely pointless... And wasnt George Bush the one who started this mess in the first place?... Just deciding to mess with people's country.. Well Its my opinion.

Whelp, I for one understand WHY they went in there, 'supposedly' had weapons of mass destruction, but if someone has done that in the past are you really going to ignore it? Even if theres no evidence?
They took away Saddam's reign of terrorism, but is what the situation has come to any better than what Saddam had given them? In my personal opinion 'no'.

I'm a Republican and I really like George Bush still and I think that yes, he did play a part in our involvement in the war, but there are people behind the scenes involved, and other countries involved too. Has anyone heard of the Counter Intelligence unit? They have 'special equipment' that tells them what threats there are to America...and most likely they partly convinced him to take part...plus, Britain decided to become involved, so we're not evil in any way, fashion or form.
Secondly, Iraq is in a gigantic Civil War. Obviously, it's nowhere near the over 500,000 thousand people that died during ours, but it's still serious. We're only trying to help.
I say yes.

The president gets more power to be 'The Decider' if a state of war is declared. A pitiful 32% of people think that Bush is doing what he should. Why, then, is he even still in office?

Well first off,he was only in office because he cheated.His campaign manager was in charge of the voting count for Fox News.When they announced that Bush was in the lead,all other news stations said that Bush was winning.In truth,Al Gore would've been president.Sadly,this presidental argument and such has dated back to the times of Jimmy Carter.
I'll enlighten you on that,if you're not sure of what I'm talking about.
Above other things,did any of you see how fast the Twin Towers blew up?Did you the way the collasped?
Just because Britain's involved doesn't mean a thing.I don't think THEY should've been in there.War.Such a waste of innocent lives.

i think the only reason we're in the war is oil. its not our job to try and "fix" other countries. like one of you said, we shoulda just left after we got husain(sp). i mean seriously its like the one time america didnt ignore a problem! lol.

and yes all the soldiers dying is horrible but hey its not like theyre being drafted. they signed up for it. though my simpathy is for the innocent civilians and the muslims that are now stereotyped as terrorists.

First of all it's Hussein.
Second of all Australia, being apart of 'The Coalition of the Willing', is involved in Iraq too. I only bring light to this fact because I find it amusing-carrying on the long tradition of Australia never getting credit from (the majority of) Americans for stupidly (actually secretly smartly) helping them time and time again with their stupid ideas...:rolleyes: :D
Lastly, if we leave Iraq the country will spiral into civil war and just basic chaos. Was it a great idea to invade? In retrospect, not great... Saddam Hussein's tyrannical reign is over, is that a good thing? I guess so but it's a shame our relationship had to end this way-we were such good friends before..:rolleyes: but then you could say the same about Osama Bin Laden. I'll end this now before I start rambling.

To quote my friend: "Why doesn't anyone bring up the fact that there are so many other dictators in the world? In Africa, Asia, South America, yet we don't want to stop them? so how is wanting to stop Saddam's tyranny a good excuse?"
Are we just going to start fighting the whole world now? Why are we even in Iraq? Iraq has nothing directly to do with 9/11! We simply were not getting anywhere with Afghanistan and decided, "Oh dearie! Look... over there! They have weapons of mass destruction! Oh look oppression!"
(Note: 9/11 and Afghanistan are underlined for a reason...)
"...it (Iraq) was troubled before, but we certainly didn't help. we antagonized insurgents, who are doing most of the damage, not Iraqis..."
America is always trying to fix the world because it's just so perfect! Really! It's perfect!
Why do you think other countries are getting involved? Because they are afraid America is going to spit on them too!
