I really need alot of help on this.....? 10for best answer!?

The question in a lot of peoples minds is:
"Why invade a country that was not threat to us, but not even threaten to invade a country that IS a threat to us?"

I personally, think that war should only be used as a last resort. Was the danger from Iraq imminent? No. Is the danger from North Korea imminent? Maybe. I think that we must first work at diplomacy before we start "rattling sabers". One nuclear missile launched, from either side, is one too many.

I agree that there are a lot of people on here that are quick to spout off the latest 6-second sound byte or personally attack or insult people, and there are those who take the time to craft a response based on their own views and research. It's usually fairly easy to tell the difference.

edit:
It is nice to see a serious question getting some serious answers, though.

I'm not sure what your question is.Personally I hate any kind of warfare,but I do support all our men and women.Our troops are doing what they are trained to do.Support them!â™¥

The answers differ because some people treat the word war as if it is both a noun and a verb in the same sentence. Go to war. warring, warrior, Iraq War, war on drugs.
They answer from an emotional perspective.
It is natural to hate violence but resort to it in self defense.
Even the lion, generally, doesn't kill for sport but it kills, to eat, to live, to survive.
No one and I mean anyone who has seen war first hand and survived WANTS a war for sport or fun or oil or politics.
I'm tired of short, cute funny answers to serious questions.
I wish you luck in your search for what you will hold to be true.
but I have my own issues with the war and the politics behind it. It is all well and good to be for or against, but if you aren't there, Mr.Politician, don't ask my son to go not once, but twice and then when he can't sleep or eat a full meal without choking, don't tell me there isn't anything wrong with him, it's all in his mind and he doesn't have post traumatic shock.

I'd say it's because the people of Iraq are stupid, yet we think Koreans are much smarter, one because they know how to build their own nuclear weapons; plus, Bush wasted at least $100 billion on the Iraq war. Mainly, the reason we'd go to war with Korea is because we'd be in some real deep sh*t if we don't fight back, yet with Iraq, Bush liked wasting a lot of money, and they were much easier to fight and contain.

yes these are logical questions, ifyou notice these are more popular questions that are being asked every day. you know
also another question that is being asked . do you think that world war 3 will being?

Matt

not everyone hates the war, like me for instance
some people say that they agree with the world but they say they wont fight themselves, i wont offer to go fight for america but if they need me i sure as hell would go fight for us, even though thats not what your talking about, i had to get it off my chest

I think, honestly, that the short answers you describe above are just regurgitate Daily Show clips, or something seen on MTV. I think they are from uninformed people. It's the cool thing to say in some circles, and so is invading Korea....I guess they don't realize how hypocritical they are.

That being said, there are intelligent answerers on here that disagree with the war, disagree with the reasons for going to war, but they don't give two word answers, they give complete thoughts. They have my respect, though I disagree with them, because they are informed, and write in coherent sentences.

I dislike the fact that people don't want us to hunt for terrorists. We do no not want anymore blood shed in on our soil. That is the reason we are there. When you look at this way it makes better sense. The terrorists reminded me of an old Chuck Norris movie "invasion America". How they just strolled on in. I have to disagree w/ some that say WWIII is here. WWIII has been going on for a while now but will never be recognized as this. I'd say Korea will be hurtin for certain if they tried anything. Let em play w/ the missles and rockets, we have counter measures. We would have to be the stupidist nation run by the stupidist morons if we didn't have them. Wake up America! Give the Military support and wish them well for a safe return. They fight so you can walk in the streets of "your city and towns" without fear of an airplanes or missles crashing into your ***! We are all victims, and I hope we have learned we don't want anything else to happen to us or at least most of us.

North Korea is very dangerous as is Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, and even Iraq. North Korea fired a missile targeting Hawaii (a U.S. state) which is considered an act of war, but it failed miserably. If anyone want to destroy your family, will you destroy that person first before he or she gets to your family? Let's use an example: Let's say I am an Iraqi citizen and the United States (or any other nation invade) will I thank my invaders or fight my invaders? I will fight any invader that comes. Why? Because you're in my homeland trying to take over. I don't care if its in the name of democracy or what. You're in the wrong. Now let's use this nation. Some nation invades the United States even for revenge. I will take up arms and fight even if it means my death. This is human nature, my friend.

we all want peace, but there are leaders that won't cooperate and if all diplomatic actions are taken and still they won't cooperate we have the UN to decide for that, if they impose a threat globally i guess military actions are needed to stop this so called threat, there are pros and cons in war like now there is war in the middle east, that is the reason why oil prices shoot up
did the USA find Weapons of Mass Destruction? I hope the Super Power countries know what they are doing, their country is rich but there are MORE 3rd world countries to consider.

I have a question why are there terrorists?!
what is wrong with our system why they rebel?
do you think if they agree with the current leadership why would do such things? ;{

1. First of all, your spelling and grammar is terrible. I'm sorry, but I just had to get that out.

2. Iraq is never going to invade us. They don't have the man power.

3. The war in Iraq was based on FALSE pretenses that Saddam possessed weapons of mass desctruction, which was proven not to be the case.
Even the Bush administration admitted that they relied on mistaken intelligence. Regardless, the U.S. attacked THEIR country anyway, despite the communication error.

4. Whereas if North Korea attacks us, of course we're going to strike back! What do you expect? That we're going to sit with our thumbs up our a$$es?
They are more than capable of attacking us by being geographically closer to the U.S.

I'm sure that the Bush administration is fully aware of this, and they'll continue to keep an eye on them.

Just my opinion but I think most folks don't see Iraq as a threat anymore. It's probably a false since of security because it's not the military might of Iraq that needs to be feared but the terrorist. North Korea has a strong military power and poses nuclear weapons so we fear them.

They are ignorant people that don't know nothing. Don't pay attention to them, they're stupid for saying sh*t like that.

I disagree with it because we deviated from the objective. We were on a course to eliminate Al-Quida. We damn near cut the head off the snake (Osama) but we let him go for some reason and attacked Iraq. Why?

Osama has attacked the US several times. How many times as Saddam and Iraq attacked us? Zero. Osama has proven he's capable of causing a lot of destruction in America. Has Saddam ever shown he's capable of attacking American's on American soil? Nope.

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy.....uh

a lot of people are racist against korea because of what they have done in the past. people want the war in iraq to be over because people have suffered many losses recently, as opposed to korea, which was a while ago

Cheyenne H

well in a case like this I really think that the U.S. is very odd in general although I think that some of it has to do with the president and all the people around him.Some times I think that people are stupid and idiotic and were all put on this planet for a reason and the reason we cant get along is because some want more power than others and some have more than others and they ether try to sell it or show it of.And if you want to know what I think is I think it's sad....................have a good day
