There is a Republican thinktank in our country called Project for a new American Century. This group is not even representative of most Republicans yet it very well represented in the Bush administration. This group is very supportive of any miltary conquest regardless of reason as long as it "keeps America #1". They are currently feeding Americans propaganda about how you want us in your country and how the soldiers don't have time to kill anyone in Iraq because they are so busy handing out crayons and toys to Iraqi children. The short answer is this group attacked your country because just like when Hitler begin they knew no other country would move to stop them or doing anything about it. Please don't hold me responsible for the actions of that idiot Bush. Check out these websites of Americans opposed to the war.

I have been thinking that way for a long time. there are some dodgy questions being asked. a couple i have seen, How Many Exactly US troops in Iraq.How do you get to a certain navel station. How many tanks has US got in Iraq. Do you know when a certain Division is about to be moved over to Iraq. these are just some of the ones i think are suspicious.

What a fricking 'tard.  Iraq is Iraq fault, America is just trying to help put it together so they know what freedom is all about.  Where does your monkey azz live?  If it is not the States then I bet that your country was helped by the U.S. at one point too.

Maybe it's because they murder anyone who tries to help them.  I don't know what Bush was thinking when he sent our people over there to liberate that bunch of bloodthirsty ingrates, but I do know that whatever the reason was, it wasn't worth the life of one American soldier much less the nearly 3,000 who have died so far.  We should have left the Iraqis to Saddam.  They deserve him.

Exactly. I never understood why we went into Iraq.\n\nBy the way, read these real Bush quotes:\n\n"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." \n--GW Bush, 9/13/01\n\n"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."\n--GW Bush, 3/13/02

It's perfect for Iraqis, which is why we're there. The short-term is difficult for everyone involved, but the long-term will be a much better & freer world for both Americans & Iraqis. Our fate lays together. De Opresso Libre!

The people blowing themselves up are extremists and most likely they are not even Iraqis. If you have taken the time to notice, the American military has not been their target.  Their prime target has been Shites and their mosques, which would indicate to me that the Sunni/Shite battle is far from over.  Yet, these people insist on a Islamic littered government, with both factions sitting across the table from one another, trying to maintain a government.  When will they learn, when will they ever learn!

Where is the support for your "facts"?  My brother has been there and has seen his friends die and has seen the people of Iraq.  He had the citizens come to him and thank him for what he was there too do.  Ask any one who has served and met the REAL people of that country.  They do like what we are doing there.  It is the radicals who are fighting against us that don't want us there.  These are the people who would rule by terror.  Get your "facts" straight and serve in the military yourself before you start criticizing what is goin on.

i may be going out on a limb here but i would guess it has to do with the fact that we're in iraq and lots of people are thinking about that, the fact that US elections are comming up, and i would guess the majority of people on Y!A are americans.

It's very clear, we (for the most part) despise our president... one which lost the majority election years ago... We, as Americans, support our troops and want them to come home... We, as Americans, don't like the war in Iraq, feel we went there on false pretenses and disapprove of the entire ordeal.  Most Americans feel we should bring our troops home RIGHT NOW and stop this BS... We have no business being there, the army took out Hussein, their primary goal, so the jobs done, they don't want us there, we don't want to be there, so why are we still there?  \n\nGod bless our soldiers, dying because an idiot wanted to fulfill daddy's wishes...\n\nlol, yeah, and when we leave and they have another trained army (just like Hussein's) that's really going to stop another tyrant from taking over?  All it does is train the next leaders troops when we go to war in the next decade.  Their army, security, and police have had the training they need.  We aren't providing any real security anyway, they are now just using American and UN soldiers as an excuse to slaughter civilians and avoiding confrontation as much as possible.  It's a joke, when we leave they will just have a more powerful army for the next power hungry leader to use at his disposal.

... nobody seems to know... Iraq has very limited links to those that attacked us, but we go there with 5 times more soldiers than are looking for Osama?\n\nEither they don't care about those that attacked us... or they are too stupid to realize that Iraq is not part of the group that attacked us...

do you want an answer...we America or the terrorists...America would like to leave and let Iraq govern itself...but as long as the terrorist keep bombing we will stay there...ask the terrorist why they are killing their Muslim brothers...

Oh gosh, don't even get me started. I'll try and make this as brief as possible\n\nBush's reasons for invading Iraq:\n1. To find weapons of mass destruction\n2. Because of Irag's alleged link with the 9/11 terrorists\n\nDid we find WMDs: Nope\nDid we find any proof or even evidence of a link between the 9/11 hijackers and Iraq: Nope\n\nWhile, i agree that saddam hussein (excuse my spelling) is a bad man, he kept stability in his country and posed no direct threat to us. It is not our responsibility, nor should it be, to decide who is good and who is "bad" and then take steps to remove them when we see fit. \nHad Iraq actually posed a threat to our national security I may feel differently, but Iraq did not pose such a threat.\n\nUnfortunately, our intelligence organizations are partially to blame, however, there are also individuals in the political realm whom are responsible.\n\nWhy did we not listen to the U.N. or Hans Blix? Are we too arrogant as a country to listen to what the international community has to say, especially the U.N., and organization we helped to create?\n\nOh my, i could go on and on and on and on, but i don't feel like typing that much.

You did not indicate if you are an Iraqi.  Assuming that you are - I encourage you to hang in there.  I was in Korea in 1958 and also in Vietnam in 1965-66.  I saw how desparate the situation was for Koreans and Vietnamese.  I know that at this point it looks as if there is no future for you.  But, look at Korea and Vietnam today.  Korea is a prosperous nation and Vietnam is at the take-off point of becoming prosperous.  In spite of your situation and the insanity that the US has created in Iraq, this will all pass in due time.  Iraqis are cultured, educated people and the time will come when the occupiers are gone and Iraqis will again determine their own future.  You probably have a family who loves and cares for you.  There are also people here in the US who care for you and your countrymen.  Hang in there - your country needs you and someday you will make a significant contribution to your people!  Let us know how you are doing.

They are towards leaving Iraq.  They really don't have a plan right now.  They wanted to use scare tactics against Americans, so they get the vote.  As of now, I haven't heard any plans yet.

Hi there,\n\nI think the reason is to show off their power or the greed for power.\n\nHere's why I think so-\n\nThe USA first attacked Iraq and captured Saddam Hussein near Tikrit. The reason Mr.Bush gave for that is that the USA suspects some biological weapons in Iraq.\n\nAfter the war was over but nothing revealed, Mr.Bush apologized for this bliss by saying that he received false intelligence reports. Now that's easy, it's the same thing as I kick you hard and then apologize. Whatever the damage should be done, it was done. \n\nSo I think the reason for these attacks is not any terrorist threat to USA or the greed for oil, but it is just to show off it's power to the world after the attack of Sep 11th. I just think it is a ploy to scare away the people. It means something like Mr.Bush wants to say "We are rich, we are powerful, we can do anything, so don't mess with us."\n\nI don't mean to offend all the Americans out there. I just told you my opinion about the attacks. If I offended anyone, my sincere apologies. And let me make it clear, I'm not being partial to Mr.Hussein. I think he ruled Iraq for quite some time with an iron fist.\n\nI just told you my opinion frankly, but anyone of you here are free to disagree with this. After all, everyone has their own thought process. \n\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny
