OK, so I was reading a newspaper article a few nights ago about the controversial feelings certain people are having about the War On Iraq. To be honest, at first my feelings were very conservative and I believed that we should stay in Iraq. Now, I have mixed feelings. I can understand both sides of the story. If we pulled the troops from Iraq right now, other countries could perceive us as a weak country that didn't get the job done. We could also have the possibility of the Iraqi people deciding we were weak and taking revenge on us. But then again, maybe if we left peace might come, and troops would get to return home to their families. I guess after writing this I still believe troops should stay in Iraq.
WHAT DO YOU THINK???? STAY OR GO HOME??

I think that the troops should stay in Iraq, for the same reasons as you had.
I also think that if we left now we would just be giving the terrorists the thought that we didn't think it was a big enough deal to stay there for. So if we left we would be encouraging terrorism. I am definitely for staying in Iraq.
I think that the troops should come home. From what i gather i might be wrong, but that a lot of Iraquis don't even want us there. And i think most other countries know that we are not weak, we're the strongest. And we have already had so many men die and almost nothing became of them. So i guess i can see both sides, because you wouldn't want all the men's deaths to be for nothing, but also we don't want anymore to die. i think that families have suffered enough and it's time for them to come home.
well i understand both sides of the story too, but i think that the troops should come home not right now, but soon. The American troops have been in Iraq for about 3 years so its about time they come home.
Ironic that your name is never give up and that is your point of view. How contradictory.
ok well i think that we need to get out now that we have established a kind of government there they need to take care of their own country even though it is a big oil area that is why i really think that we are over there now i think that we were right to go over there but we have been in this war for way to long
i know it is contradictory i noticed when i was posting. it's not giving up, it's knowing when what you are doing causes more harm than help and so to quit is a better choice. i believe most of the time to never give up, but i know when to.
We pull out of Iraq and...
1. Iran reinforces Iraq, eliminating the gov't we've established there.
2. Iran and Iraq get Nuclear weapons
3. They eliminate our allie Israel.
....just my opinion.
Research on the topic at least a little bit then post. thanks.
Personally I think that we should leave, some people are actually connecting Iraq to Vietnam. It's really becoming like a Vietnam...if you know what happened. The U.S., to me, seems pretty selfish in the ways that they think is right to them, I think that they should really stop thinking about making a Democracy because sometimes people don't want to change. That's why Vietnam is still communist, it shows how they really can't control everyone, they should really start paying attention to their own country and what's really happening inside it.
Actually Saddam Hussein needed to be overthrown, he was supplying terrorists...In that case I think that a dictatorship needs to be overthrown.
I think that we need to leave. For one, I dont think that war is good for any reason, and the Iraqi people dont even want us there. Besides whether other countries think that we are strong or not, I know that we could defend ourselves just as well as any other country so we shouldnt have to be afraid of them trying to take revenge.
In my opinion, I think we should leave. But if we do leave we wouldn't achieve much. We went there to find Osama but we got involved in Iran instead. We did overthrow Saddam Hussein and right now we are rebuilding Iran but I don't think some people in Iran want that. Many protests are going on and I think President Bush is having a hard time. But since we got this far I think we should stay before we encourage terrorism even more. Security has gotten tighter which is good but people are thinking of new ways to get around. We should fix the situation and leave before too many lives are lost.
I don't know if I want them home or not. I think Iraq will turn to even more chaos if the troops come home. I am glad I don't have to decide because someone people might hate my decision.
leaveleaveleave!
