i realize alot of people that are reading this are sheep who follow what the media and what all the "in crowd" says and thinks its the "cool" thing to do to protest the war because alot of "cool" celebrities are doing it...so i am ready to hear anything negative you have to say... BUT i think the question should be " do you want to allow insurgents and small groups of malitia to take over the country of Iraq and cause an even worse terrorist state than there has ever been as a result of a civil war, thus causing an uprise in terrorist activity from the ones that hate the USA and ANY government that does'nt operate the way thiers does."  the moral of the story, we are too late in the battle to quit. dont believe everything the media feeds you.

I believe that Iraq has shown how dysfunctional this Administration and This President are. However, the country as a whole will survive his incompetence and deceit of the American people and the world. We have survived many catastrophes and Bad presidents. We suffered through the second least popular president after George W Bush (NIxon), and came out whole and strong. We survived Viet Nam, so I believe we can survive this tragedy in Iraq.\n\nUnfortunately, it may take a generation to win back the tarnished reputation of the US as a result of this President's complete disregard for the values and opinions of the rest of the world. He has caused more damage to international relations, and increased global terrorism more in his six years in office than I would have ever imagined possible in 3 or 4 times that amount of time.

No -- he was responsible for genocide. The most conservative estimates place the death count at his hands somewhere near a million lives. Though many of those deaths were people of other nationalities, a very large percentage were in fact Iraqis who either opposed him, or were conceived of as a threat. No one was safe -- not even his most trusted advisors.

Bush does not want the war to end.  It would be the end of corporate welfare for Haliburton and other companies.  So my kids will have to avoid going to fight in this senseless and illegal war.  They are 1 and 3

Yes.\nIt cost thousands of lives,hundreds of billions of dollars,\nand lowered the standing of the U.S. in the international\ncommunity. Even when the war ends there will be a cost-the\npeace of mind of many who served,suffering from post-traumatic stress.\n All of this to confiscate Weapons of Mass Destruction that\nnever existed.\n Invading Iraq was a colossal mistake.

Bush and his cronies should come to the final decision that it is best to get out of Iraq. Each day we remain there only makes the situation worse. Unfortunately Bush does not seem to realize this. I'm not saying to bring them all home at once. What I am saying is to bring them home gradually, maybe even 500 at a time. We're not wanted there. We already have enough enemies. Bush should forget about Iraq's oil because the entire Middle East now knows that oil was our primary reason for invading Iraq. They only see themselves as next. GET OUT BUSH.

I think we won't really know the impact of the war in Iraq for years down the road.  I sort of think of it like this:  People tried to ignore and appease Hitler.  In the end it cost 6 million Jewish people thier lives.  Perhaps if someone had taken a stronger stand earlier on it could have been avoided.  Maybe going in to Iraq earlier instead of waiting for something catasrophic to occur will save more people in the long run.  In that respect, maybe Bush is enlightened compared to the average guy on the street.

NO, because, the Hatred is growing and growing towards one another and eventually, Bush will have us all killed.  If he's so confident, why doesn't he go fight in the war instead of sending young men with promising futures???  He's selfish and doesn't care that's why.  He's taking all our money and what do we get for it.  Our healthcare system and education system is crap.  We are the only 1st world country without a proper HEALTH or EDUCATION system!  War should end and we should concentrate on getting along as a nation!

IF BUSH LOSES, THE WORLD LOSES.\nThere may be millions of deaths during the next 10 years.\nBUT DON'T WORRY.   THE DEMOCRATS WILL "FEEL THEIR PAIN".

Iraq could be bombed back to the stone age but this is not what is wanted or desired. All out war to annilated every Iraqi citizen would be immoral though at this point probably desired by the Republicans to make the problem go away. Since the results with regard to the war on terror would be unknown the job will have to be finished.

I doubt it because he's not up for re-election.\n\nHow do we help him make the "right" decision? We elected him after he had already served for 4 years, so we knew what his policies would be. He's doing badly in the polls mainly because people are still getting killed in Iraq. I don't think he's going to change his policy on that.

i think we could of. for what it's costing us daily in money we will never see again. The unfortunate slaughter of our troops which we will never see again because of President Bush's  and his cabinets lie's to start the war. He should be seen in the same light as osama and saddam.

this war and Saddam was not worth one penny or one life.if you think about it,Saddam got rid of all his weapons and was complying with all the U.N. sanctions therefore he should have never been attacked.Bush stated he didn't care what the inspectors said he knew there were weapons and would attack any way.2 years later he admitted he was wrong because he was given bad intelligence.so he should be tried for war crimes.too many people have died because of his bad intelligence.

I agree!!! Send him to Iraq!!It will be interesting to see how many people actually defend Bush.  Come on people stop drinking the cool aid and wake up!! Our people are dying every day and America is going to hell while we try "Fix" the problems in Iraq.

Bush went to war in Iraq illegally probably thinking that he will have an easy task of taming us and looting our oil. Suprise suprise we resisted and very few oil tankers have managed to get through. So he has resorted to mass murder of Iraqi's and very conviniently blaming this on insurgents to dupe the world. He encourages the shias to masacre the sunnis who are deemed Sadam supporters. Notice very few times are American soldiers killed during these bombings,its mostly sunnis. What has not got into Bush's thick head,is that by supporting shias he is strenthening Iran's powerhold in this country. Over and above the people that Bush has killed, he is laying the ground work for genicide of the sunnis. Bush and his hench men should be triad for his war crimes against humanity and world peace. WE CAN NOT AND WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE AT ANY COST.

No.  Our government has failed us yet again.  And you know you're going to get "Saddam killed thousands of his own people."  As if the US causing the death of thousands of innocent people is somehow less tragic.
