Find answers to your legal question.





Tell what you think we should do in Iraq...?

Some people argue that we should withdraw; some argue that we should stay until the government is stabilized and the Iraqis can police themselves. What is your position?

Serious answers only please.

I would really like the opinions of soldiers that have been to Iraq.

WTF and FUDGE need to study history before throwing in the towel. And what does WTF know about combat? Send Bush into battle! What a stupid thing to say. Did we send Truman, FDR and other Presidents into battle..come on, don't be a stupid Bush hater. At least give a reason for what you say.

If you look at the wars that have been fought thoughout civilization, you will find that most of them have been fought in the Middle East (Persia, Egypt/Africa, etc). You will also find that religious zealots (mostly Muslims) have enjoyed killing each other for hundres of centuries. It is their way of life. They have been doing it so long they are numbed by all the killing and see nothing wrong in cutting off the heads of even their neighbor. A religion that cherishes the killings of what they call "non-believers" and "infidels" are considered by humanity as cults and are no more then a front for "religious gangs". So, what do you do with gangs, murderers, thugs and serial killers? You meet them head on and kill them first. You may not like it if your a liberal, but, hey, they want to kill liberals too.

This world is not the same as it was 230 years ago. Things happen quickly. The world is "smaller". The masses are meeting and the religious intolerance of Muslims is the cause of nearly all the world's current problems. Yet, only the United States protects those countries that cannot protect themselves. The UN, which we support with our tax dollars, is useless and should be moved to Africa where most of the humanitarian work is needed. The UN is pretty good in coming in after the slaughter to help the survivors. Africa also happens to be a hotbed of activity for Muslim terrorists. Why, because they are poor, uneducated countries who have tyrants for leaders who kill their own people to keep their power. The same type of leaders who rounded up and sold their own people to black slave traders who exported their people to America for profit. I know, you won't find this information in "black history" books. At least white people admit their shame in black slave trade. It is only fair that all people confess their part in it.

Point is, that after thousands of years of killing each other, tribal wars are still being fought in the Middle East and Africa. Why? Because most of these people are slaves in their own countries. They are denied education by their government. Hmmm, wonder why. I am amazed that these correlations are not mentioned by church leaders, the black community and Muslim leaders in the US and around the world. I guess it is easier to blame the US for all the world's ills. Go figure. We only send billions to Africa to fight aids (while good ole' boy Kofi watches his own people being slaughtered"; We liberate enslaved people all over the world (guess the new French generation forgets who saved their butts. They should be speaking German!). Does anyone know that the French are the ones who created the Viet Nam debacle and then left the South Viet Nam to be massacred by the Kamir Rouge until the US tried to save them. Where was the UN?; we saved Kuwait from Saddam's invasion, not the useless UN, who sat by and watched us, AGAIN.

Now we are letting politicians run a war that should have been over. But, we were slow in acting because of the need for liberal politicians wanting the UN to approve. What a joke.

We should send another 200,000 troops into Iraq and irradicate all the terrorists that want democracy to fail in Iraq. And I mean all of them. Yes, even those who give them save haven. They are conspirators and are no better then the serial killing Muslim radicals. Democracy will then spread and they don't want that. Why? Because Iran (whose people actually like the West) might become democractic too. Wow, imagine a free society in the middle east! What would the Muslims do with their cult then. No more enslavement of their people. Education would be available to everyone. Wow, guess the liberals don't want that. Why? Because liberal politicians know that educated people everywhere believe in fighting for freedom and equal opportunity. Educated people make educated choices and don't vote Democratic just because "promises are made" (ie: open border to allow more uneducated people into the United States. Hmmm, think they might vote for the Dems, huh, Hillary, hmmm, what do you think Hillary?)

The US will give freedom to the Iraqi people. Only the ignorant can be enslaved while the educated can think for themselves, not like liberal sheep who willingly follow their cult leaders into the past.

Iraq has a chance to be a great success, if only the Liberals don't have us pull out and abandon the Iraqis as they had us do in Vietnam. We will be downsizing our troop levels shortly, but we will have to have a presence in Iraq for years to come. That isn't a bad thing--we had troops in South Korea and Germany for years and years.

Americans went to war in Iraq without planning of what would happened once Saddam Hussein is removed from power. This resulted in a power vaccum that gave rise to today's chaotic Iraq. The most appropriate action now is to transfer security responsibility to the formally elected government of Iraq. Its their country and their right to see how best to manage their own security. If the US is worried about the competency of the Iraqi security force, they can offer technical assistance. It is definitely a better approach than hanging on without knowing when to withdraw the troops. The current situation does not provide any legitimacy to the US' continued presence in Iraq at all. You do not want to end up like the Soviets in Afghanistan.

hi there, well since i live in kuwait and i know the gulf mentality, in my own mind i blv us should not redraw from Iraq in the time being, If everything in the government is settled down and am sure it will take alot of time, then the US should leave but not before that regarding to the great mess and explosions happening out here targeting innocent ppl.


hamza a
it is impossible that the US soldiers leave Iraq for the time being cuz u know there is too much corruption is going on there even iraqi police themselves commit crimes like suicide bombings and kidnapping and rape crimes and alot of stuff..
and the new iraq government are bunch of crooks who want to take advantage of their positions as much as they can ..
so i think the presence of the US soldiers is necessary at least if things go wrong like a total civil war in Iraq at least there will be a fire power and by saying that i don't mean that the Americans are doing a great job in Iraq but vice versa they made alot of stuff go worse than they used to ..so i think they should correct their mistakes and then leave....
BTW I'm Iraqi and i used to live in Baghdad but i left 2 years ago cuz i got threatened by Iraqi police and then my dad was kidnapped

...regards

I simply want us to withdraw our army from their and leave it up to them to bring back civilization in their nation because it seems we are unwanted there, so why not mind our own business and stay on the safe side....We would have never lost so many soldiers and had such a devstating attack if we had minded our own business but sigh.....

It would have been over by now if the liberals had shut up about the war, the terrorists get new energy each time Kennedy, Kerry, Murtha, NY Times, etc., say something negative. Now all we can do is wait until the Iraqis kill each other and then give Iraq to Israel.

I think we should protect our own country but we do need to controll them before they get to far I do believe that the President is right about the weapon of mass destruction he may not have find it yet but it there and we should watch out for those people the Solider should stay there ,sorry to say

My opinion is that we should stay until Iraq has built an adequate army and police, have a stable economy, and have their government working efficiently. No on ever said that the war in Iraq will be quick. And for those who continuously root for a certain party to be in office should know that the simple fact is this: No politician, which ever party that they are from, will end the war in Iraq quickly, whether their strategy is stay the coarse or pull out. No name calling or mudslinging of the opposition will end the war faster, get out troops back quicker, and help the situation now. We invaded Iraq on pretenses that are questionable, but nevertheless, we are there already and we hold all responsibility of rebuilding their country after blowing it up. For us to say "we came into your country to liberate you, but the majority of Americans oppose this war, so we're going to pull out now and leave the problem in your country to your own hands." It may be Iraq's problem, but that problem was caused by us and we have the full obligation to repair the damage done. For us to blow up their country, leave it in chaos and leave is completely unfair. Pulling out may cause us relief and may slow the growth of our national debt, but we will have the bear all consequences as we watch the situation in Iraq unfold into complete chaos and civil war. Also, in order for us to accomplish things, I believe we're going to need a larger military presence (unfortunately), root out corrupted soldiers and police officers (if possible), secure the oil fields, and find a way to win back lost trust from the Iraqis.

leave i dont see the reason to endanger peoples lifes when we can just be extra carful here. i dont think any more people should die but evey minute they are over there people are dying. im glade they are trying to make it safe for all of us but is it really needed?

I disagreed with the war in the first place, but since we broke it, might as well stay and fix it..stay there, rebuild the infrastructure we destroyed(water/electricity), help build up Iraqi security forces til they can police themselves, then GTFO. Enough of this partisan shitslinging, though. It's not going anywhere, and troops and innocent Iraqis are dying day by day regardless of who you're calling names.

Unfortunately this is a touchy subject. War of any kind is never pleasant nor does it make sense but that's been the way of history and it's shaped our government and society today. I don't know all the details about exactly what happened, how we ended up there and what was the goal initially and what the goal is now but anyone who signs up for any form of military service should know that you're signing your life away to the government not just whatever stupid president is in place. It's sad they they literally control your life when it comes down to it. If they knew what they were getting into why sign up in the first place?

I hope the US soldiers still left there are able to come home like yesterday, nobody deserves to be in those conditions but unfortunately the President/government can do what they please.

stay the course...of course i would have liked to see the military go in there and lock down the country at first and gradually give them their democracy..but all the liberals in this country just cant stand the fact that republicans will get to take the credit for stabilizing the middle east..or at least doing something about it...
BUSH DESERVES THE NOBEL; PEACE PRIZE FOR HIS ACTIONS...


all of you whiners and crybabies about the soldiers being killed in iraq and afghanistan....why dont we hear anything about the amount of people killed by drunk drivers in this country every year..averages 17,000 a year for the last 5 years...those are unnecessary deaths...soldiers know what the risks are and are willing to do it for their fellow man and the good of the world...

Bush has taken a middle ground, refusing to leave but not putting enough troops to actually do the job. If he continues to refuse to put them there, then I say leave. But if he is willing to commit what is necessary, then finish it because politically, leaving is a bad idea especially right now when leaving could end with the current official Iraqi government falling and terrorists establishing a new Taliban in current Iraq. But getting stuck there is an even bigger political mess, so Bush needs to pick a side and take it, and stop trying to make everyone happy, because he is only ticking everyone off.


WTF? !!!!
I think we should send Bush there and let him fight. So he can see how it feels. or we should bring all of our troops home and let them fight their own war..... WE NEED TO IMPEACH BUSH
