To Shug and Ben, you obviously DON'T remember 9/11. Osama bin Laden, a Saudi, attacked the United States on that day. However, instead of going after the person who attacked us, Georgie went after Iraq. Where is Osama? In Tora Bora, protected by the Conserviweenies who're scared of protecting us just because Pakistan is harboring a terrorist. As for Iraq, this is for oil. Where were you?

I'm unaware that Bush has ever attacked a country without a reason. The only countries America has ever fought with during the Bush administration were Iraq and Afhganistan, in which we had many reasons to be there. What are you talking about? Are you stoned?

Im wondering what terrorists u are talking about\nThe war in Iraq is a CIVIL WAR.....Iraq is fighting against themselves....only about 5% of the players are foreign..... The United States are in the middle of it....... last month over 100 americans died..... and for what??  President Bush said that we are winning the war because we havent been attacked IN THE US since 9/11/01.... well before that we were attacked in 1993....... all those years between we werent at war in Iraq, so that arguement doesnt fly.\nwe need to get out of iraq and let them fight each other..... when they finish then we can go back and help them.... until then we are just cannon fodder......... u cant change an idea with a gun

Officially, we aren't at war.  Only Congress can declare war.  AND war can only be declared against a nation with boundaries.\nThis war on terror is about as lame as the war on poverty and the war on drugs back in the 80's.\n\nI hate the fact that friends of mine have been killed defending a foreign policy that will only keep us embedded in turmoil for years.  It discusts me!

Very good question.  As you know, there isn't any difference at all.  As a solider (freedom fighter) fighting for so-called democracy in Iraq, I kill an Iraqi insurgent.  In America (for the most part), I'm a hero, I'm right.  In Iraq (for the most part), I'm the devil, I'm the terrorist.  Yet, if you thought the destruction of the World trade Center was horrible, imagine living in the hell that is Iraq ever since U.S. Troops arrived.

Legal, yes.   The primary reason for the initiation of the war in Iraq was due to Saddam Hussiens violations of United Nations Security Resolutions.   I believe he was in violation of 15 of them for over 11 years.   The biggest of those violations was failing to allow weapons inspectors inside his country to make sure he didn't have any weapons of mass destruction or other chemical and biological weapons.    He was warned for 11 years, and did not care.   9/11 happened and woke the United States up to the fact that these 3rd world country tyrants can no longer get away with what they are doing.   George W. again, through the United Nations warned Saddam that we were no longer going to put up with his actions and gave him a deadline to comply with all the resolutions.   Saddam openly stated that he didn't have to listen to the world and would do what he wanted.   George W. gave Saddam a deadline and simply said, "On this day, or any day after that..the United States is going to come in and take you out of power and once and for all find and destroy any weapons of mass destruction."   Saddam laughed.  The United Nations warned the United States not to take any action again Iraq.   The deadline approached and Saddam made an attempt to show compliance with UN Resolutions with a data book of over 14,000 pages.   The US Studied the book.   British intelligence and Egyptian Intelligence convinced the United States that Iraq did have WMD's.   The 14,000 page document was proven to be over 10 years old and mostly useless information.   George W. went back to the UN and was told to stand down and not take action against Iraq.   George W. went to Congress and Congress supported him with the invasion and subsequent liberation of Iraq from Saddam.   \n\nWhile no WMDs were found, many weapons that put him in violation of UN Resolutions were found, including intermediately ranged missles and chemical and biological weapons.   Other intelligence documents were found indicating that Hussien had moved his nuclear programs to Libya and his hardware to Syria.   Shortly after the invasion of Iraq, Liby turned over ALL of it's nuclean information that they claim was theirs, and not Saddam's.  \n\nIt's anyone guess, and easy to bash Bush.   But if the truth has to be know...it's a great thing to have a president with a set of balls that's not afraid to go agains the United Nations and do what is actually best for national security and the freedoms we enjoy here in the United States.

Please notice that it is Iraq with Q not K.\nI am sure that this war will be finished as soon as things get setteled.\nThere's one more thing, personally I don't consider it as war against Iraq, it is war against terrorism, which is a part of the battle for freedom and democracy.

The US is Iraq for the oil and nothing but the oil. The oil fields were the first things to be secured upon entering Iraq, and strangely enough, a good many of the oil contracts (as well as rebuilding contracts) were given to none other than...You guessed it! Halliburton! The company which used to be headed by...guess who? Dick Cheney himself, who still has god-only knows how much money invested in it.\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848\n\nI highly suggest you watch this video on 9-11. It will explain to you the evidence that proves that we are not in Iraq for "war on terrorism" reasons.\n\n\nPeace

The true terrorists are our very own government.  Iraq had nothing to do with this war, if anyone would take the time to think about it.

I'm actually VERY surprised. I honestly thought that the Al Qaida leader in Iraq would be a white American Democratic Party volunteer. They seem to have a bigger problem with the American military presence in Iraq than anyone else does. They are Osama's biggest weapon. He has his little victory. He has divided the nation, and has almost half of the country screaming his own line for him. Congradulations, Mr. Bin Laden. Never before have I seen such a successful recruitment campaign.

Saddam is under trial in Baghdad\nBin Laden is fighting Jihad war against the US/UK/NATO FORCES in Tora Bora mountains in Afghanistan .. Now daily casualties to these forces caused by Bin Laden Fighters are increasing .. Bin Laden is fighting on both Iraq & Afghanistan fronts ..

They do not care who is in control. They still consider us enemies, no matter what. Look at some of the European countries that have either refused to send military to Iraq. They are still targets of terrorism.

Tough question considering that they war on terror is not technically supposed to be a war against any certain nation yet we focus on the middle east and its extremist religions. The Iraqi forces are having trouble organizing because of the sectarian nature of the population. This seems to me like it would provide a great and easy avenue for the organized entrance into our nation of small coordinated covert extremist terrorist groups. I hate to say it.

We are not winning the "war against terror" all because we made so many enemies that it is hard to figure out who is the terrorist and who is not.  Bush on the other hand; don't even know who is the terrorist because if he did; we wouldn't be in Iraq at the present moment.  The truth is we are our own terrorist and the reason I said this is because how many times do we hear someone American is blowing up something or trying to blow up something?  How many times do we hear about American killing American which goes on everyday of our lives?  I mean who is the real terrorist to us?  We can't control our own people in the USA so how do we figure that we can control someone else in another country?  No one is really winning the "war against terror or terrorist".
