I don't know why you would want the troops home for. \nThat would mean you would have nothing to complain about. \nI mean your job as a Terrorist Propagandist. \nwould come to and end. \nWell, The majority rules don't really apply to the Military. \nOpinion polls mean nothing. \nAs for, Now what do we do, you can always go back to your country of origin.  \nAnd wait for the chance, That some day the terrorists will hire you again.

Alot of people who have never seen war like it. Most Americans have not seen war because since 1865, there's been no military conflict in the US. \n\nSoldiers don't like war, but they have to do what they're told.

You have to remember that a large minority (I'd guess 35-45%) were against the war from the very beginning, an equal percentage will believe and follow our president regardless of what he says or does. The people in the middle were basically fooled by varying lies, like Saddam and Bin Laden were helping one another, Iraq was behind 9/11, Saddam and the WMD's, and so they also went along with the war.\n\nIn the end it doesn't matter what the American people wanted, I can't think of an example where a President asked Congress to declare war and they didn't. \n\nAs far as our troops coming home, speaking for myself of course, as someone who was against the War from the beginning, I don't want to just pull out and leave the Iraqi people to fend for themselves. What I do want is a plan for pulling out, a plan for Iraqi self-government, and some kind of realistic timetable. None of these has been provided by our government, and I doubt will anytime soon.

I am for the war and I am U.S. citizen.  I have been 100% behind it from the beginning.  Also, we never went into this for the oil.  Do people not watch the news?  Oil prices have been insane.  If we are taking all this oil, then why are we having to pay so much for it?

I think most Americans hate war more than any other country on earth.  We aren't constantly blowing each other up and freaking out every time something upsets us.  It happens, there are psychos everywhere, but in general America is a very safe place to live because we aren't violent as a people.

I think that the war has evolved into something so different than when it originated, that the majority of Americans could probably care less what happens to Saddam, especially since everyone knew that he was guilty - I mean really, how could the government NOT charge him?  To do so would cause even more anarchy then there already is.  \n\nMy guess is that America is pissed of at enough things run by the government that this verdict will have no effect whatsoever.

I did and do support this war, and I cry because we can;t get it right because of all the people against it. We're damned if we do and damned if we don't. The soldiers are doing a good job keeping their moral up, but it's harder and harder on them when they know how half the country feel. I bet that makes them feel confident to go fight every day. When I hear the left talk in here, I try hard to think are they right? am I wrong? At least I try and weigh the odds. The left are always right. Blatantly right. Their hatred for Bush makes them never wonder, could they be wrong? Just once? Bush has not done one thing right in there eyes.

Yes we are in a crises! And if something is not done it is only going to get worse. I don't know exactly what needs to be done but Americans need to make a stand against this and say enough is enough. It is all over the news, on the net, talk shows and so on. That suggests to me that something is wrong. I don't know what Americans are going to do. The price of everything has went up and continues to go up. And we are not getting any cost of living increases either. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. And no help from the government because they are some of those getting richer over the oil. When Exxon goes above Wal-mart we have a problem.

do not over generalize....many "Americans" do not want this war. It is Bush and his minions that are doing this. Take a look at his approval ratings. I am American...I hate my government. I hate that we are in Iraq. I do feel like Bush made a huge mistake.

If you ask Bush he will say "Because God wants me to be president."  If you ask me, I think people were afraid to change the guard because of the war.  Basically, the American public said: hey, you guys messed up with this war thing but why don't you try and finish it anyway.  I am still shocked.

Very good question.\n\nAmericans were victims, but I find it hard to believe the bit about the "war being imposed on them"...when Bush invaded Iraq back in 2003, support for the war was well above 80%.  I'm proud to say I stood against the tide then...now the tide has joined me.\n\nI do truly believe that the majority of Americans are good people.  They didn't intend this much harm, death and destruction.

I am not a sociologist but I will answer as an American who follows world events rather closely.  If we do not do something to help defend this country then we will no longer cease to exist as a country.  There are so many people that want America destroyed that it takes a lot of soldiers, marines, CIA, etc to avert total disaster in this country.  The bottom line is that some Americans realize that our country and way of life has survived so long by the blood of our American soldiers.  Others simply take that fact for granted.

The problem with this country is they don't have the first damn clue what war is. Americans  wouldn't stand for troops crossing their boarders or tanks driving down their highways. War's ugly. Marines do ugly business.  And as long as Americans think that every person with a tan and an accent is a terrorist, they'll keep doing it.  We as a country are more to blame for this than the soldiers who fired the bullets.

A minority of Americans still prefer to put their misguided "patriotism" before their humanity, with George Bush's approval rating falling now to 30% it is encouraging that hysteria is at last making way for rationality.\nHopefully the trend will continue, and attempts to escalate the disaster in Iraq with an attack on Iran will be thwarted.

You are all scaring me to death!! Why are Americans so willing to support this government's war machine?! I think it may be time to think about relocating seriously. The plan: first kill our educational system and independent media to create mass ignorance. Then conscript all of them.

Bush sure must be desperate to save his job and reputation- but I'm afraid it's a bit too late for that! Calling all Americans- WE CAN STOP THIS WAR IF WE BAND TOGETHER AND PROTEST- JUST LIKE WITH VIETNAM!!! We can bring our troops home- we need to take to the streets and exercise our constitutional rights (freedom to assemble peacefully to protest, and freedom of speech!) F.U.C.K. Congress, and the president- we can (and should!) "override" them both!!! Let's bring our troops HOME where they belong, before any more innocent lives are lost and families torn apart!!! We are AMERICANS, REMEMBER??? Are we just gonna sit back and HOPE for the best while more people die- or are we ready to actually hold our heads up and have our voices be heard, Constitution in hand, hand in hand? WE CAN DO THIS, and, WE SHOULD- NOW!!!
