antiaircraft Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/14/world/mi...amp;oref=slogin http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/09/12/....soldiers.dead/ After several years, Iraq still hasn't quieted down. Do you think it's justified? Will it ever end? What should be done now? Edit: I found another article. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...7091400636.html If you find anymore tell me and I'll put them up.

smumpkins Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I've felt from the very start that this was a lost cause. If anyone should be helping them, it should be someone that's on that side of the world. A good portion of their people don't want us there, and a large majority of our people don't want our men and women over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 I'm honestly not sure about this, even after keeping track of it for all this time. The US did manage to depose Saddam Hussein and his government, but through all this time it's dragged on and people are still dying in the conflict. Maybe somebody here can convince me one way or the other... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strategos Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 The war. NOT JUSTIFIED. Simply because you're the good guys, right? (That's what you think, whether you're right or wrong.) Well, if you kill people, you commited murder, you should be prosecuted, but you're in the military and that's your job. (AKA Assasin) What the US is trying to do. Listen, it was NEVER about the weapons, it was about the oil. Do you know how precious oil is to the US? If anybody in senior US government is here, please do a troop withdrawl ASAP without wrecking Iraq more by leaving them to their civil war. We made it worse, so we need to at least put it back to the way it was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Obviously it isn't justified. Now, the reason might be obvious, but they probably have other reasons. Anyways, I read they're pulling off troops from there so that's a good start to try to make things better. The job is done and I believe if they stop it completely, Americans might be in danger (from revenge or something). It just should have never started.

antiaircraft Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 I once met a guy who was of the opinion that George Bush just wanted to invade Iraq to show off. So how do we deal with all the problems then? I don't think it's exactly easy to stop a Civil War if it's practically already happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strategos Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 About the civil war, we could do a isolation thingie, and then slowly let them mix. Pros:That might help them to slowly become friends. Cons: Or not. It might just build up the tension, and make it 100x worse. What do you think?

antiaircraft Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 I think it would probably make it worse for some people, and better for others, but possibly more of the latter. Hmm, isn't this the sort of matter the UN is supposed to deal with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
