1945, we droped and Atomic Bomb, on Hiroshima, Killing 65,000+, and another on Honhiroshima, killing 100,000+, not even counting the side effects many years later, all that death in 1 day alone by our hands, What did all this death accomplish? PEACE, which stands to this day.
Yes it does suck our soldiers have died in iraq, but stop pulling that card, THEY signed a peice of paper, which nullifies your argument, Any soldier not willing to die for this country, shouldnt be a soldier at all, by that standpoint, You and everyone of those pos who had the nerve to parade around carrying coffins of these soldiers, have insulted them, and there beliefs.
Setting back doing nothing with the middle east obviously hasnt helped us, look at what happened on 9/11, now we are doing something which could effect the future of our two people, give it a chance, Iraq can and will be peacefull someday if we let it, Those brave people who went out on election day facing death from all sides did more then any of you ever would, heck, look back just a few years ago, when TWO crazy people kept dc,maryland,and virginia, inside ther homes for how many weeks?, afraid to go out, afraid to even pump some gas, afraid to go to the store, Thos iraqis who went out there that day, Are an example of what WE should be.

And I'm glad Iraqi's get to vote - does that mean they are free - HELL NO - look at America and all its supposed "freedom" and "democracy"... America works on a 2-Party system - That are both backed by big companies... Its these comanies that run your country, not the Government....

Am I the only person who looks upon current 'democratic' systems as tools to provide the populace with a sense that it is they who pull the strings, when, in fact, it is my belief that we are fundamentally just as oppressed as we would be in an overtly authoritarian regime?
What I cannot understand is this...Saddam was a reprehensible leader therefore there must have been a long line of people wanting to take him out.

What does 9/11 have to do with Iraq?
