So what do you think about the Iraq war?

its a waste of time.it all started because George bush wanted their oil, and he thought that all arabs are terrorists.

Which I would say is mainly true actually. Most of them are all terrorists.

no, they arent.i know quite a few arabs, and one of them is the director ofinternational criminal police.so i highly doubt he is one.

and here's where my conservative views and my history lessons come in handy:

I agree whole heartedly about the oil thing. the WOMD was just an excuse, but in the case of Saddam, he had already lead terrorist attacks on the states that were ignored by Nixon. The unfortunate thing for bush's popularity, was that he was left with a world that had gone mildly ignored, and then suddenly, bma, there's 9/11. that really made us realize that sure, the cold war is over, but the rest of the world still hates our democratic views and wants to get rid of us. And that's what happens when you get extremist groups running a country, with dictators like Saddam running the show. Now I'm not 100 percent advocating this war, as it's having its repercussions (look what's happening to the stock market) but it needs to be done. and i don't even believe really in doing it for "national security" but more becasue in a lot of counrties, the reason extremist groups are running countries, is becasue we gave them weapons to fight out the soviets, then just left those countries in dishevveled states. it is the responsibility of all of organizations like NATO and the UN to try and change the situation like we're trying in afghanistan, and I hope we're there as long as it takes!

Ok. Here is my veiws:

George Bush, being the stupid idiot he is, made up a reason to mess up our economy. He said he wanted to find "WMD's" which turned into "Freedom of Iraq". HOW DID WE GET HERE FROM BIN LADEN??? He should of just kept scouring the mountain range Bin Laden is hiding under and BLOW IT UP. I can understand retalliation from the Twin Towers bombing, which I was there for unfortunately, but going into a 4 year war??? What was going through his mind?

Spoiler:

Bin Laden could be dead for all we know. he hasn't appeared on video for a long time, only a few tapes of bad quality.

And to be honest, I think Bush Snr. did a much better job of attacking Iraq-got almost everyone on his side and ready to fight with him before going in. The only downside was that they didn't keep going, smash through Iraq, and kick Saddam off. There's the UN guidelines for you.

Yay! Bonus food for me for living in the countryside!

lol!
russia will love that!

Not if we steal all of its oil first!

In all that chaos, Darkjedi will obviously get a foothold in the U.S.

He already lives there (duh!)

hmm,, i need a glass bowl.

Well, I'm glad for your sake that DJ refers to DOW Jones, the American stock exchange. But nobody outide the Netherlands is glad about it.

(The global markets and therefore everyone's money?)

More than anyone else though.

China and japan more stable than th USA? No way.

yeah, but its ironoic that americas economy still sucks

republicans in other words.but our economy isnt that great either.

And Japan is in real trouble. If there is a recession, who will buy nosehair removers with a built-in digital watch?

Well unless George Bush plunges the 700bn into nosehair removers with a built-in digital watch, Japan is in trouble.
