Why are American troops fighting in the middle east?
|
I support our troops but I dont know why they are still there.
I honestly don't know the REAL reason why...do you?
I am not trying to be offensive.
I'm simply curious.
I mean, there are nasty people in Cuba and N. Korea too but, I dont see much activity from our military there.
What's up with that?
Additional Details
P.S. My Dad and Grandfather were both WW2 and Korea vets and my Father in law is a retired Navy Seal who fought in Viet Nam so, believe me, I honor and salute our troops for their selfless sacrifice.

Because pulling out now would cause more problems than it would solve. |

They are over there defending your right to stay up all night scratching your balls and asking stupid questions. Next time you see an elderly man it would be highly appreciated if you went up and asked if he served in a foreign war. If he says yes you should thank him for protecting your freedom of speech and your right to scratch your balls. AND I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.. WHERE AT LEAST I KNOW I'M FREE. Don't take it for granted kid. Your worst day is someone else's best day of their whole life. Think about that one for awhile.

Currently, North Korea and Cuba have not attacked us, but Muslims have. So to keep them off our shores, we fight them on theirs. |

Iraq was sanctioned by the Un and Iraq did not abide the sanctions! They also had a murderous dictator and possible nuclear material. Congress voted to attack with the hopes of bringing down hussein, putting to rest the possibility of nuclear material and afford the long oppressed iraqiis the chance to live in freedom! In a nutshell, that's the story. And I applaud our government for caring enough to do something about that then unstable part of the world! |

It mostly has to do with priority and threat. |

The arab nations could dominate the world as they own the worlds energy - America wants to keep them fighting amongst themselves so they can't band together |

So many rich Americans can make even more money, and the military can maintain its power, which it would lose if there was a sudden outbreak of peace, so, if there is no real cause for a military campaign, they just manufacture one, like "weapons of mass destruction", or "domino theory"(Vietnam). Next will be Iran, North Korea, or Syria. |

Our fearless leader George W. Bush felt the need to "finish" the war that his daddy started.... Oh yeah, and let's not forget that the middle east is bursting with oil, and Georgie has a lot of money tied up in oil.... |

Oh, but it is offensive that we as a country , police other countries! During our own civil war, would we have allowed another county to police us? I too support or troops, but I want to support them at home!!! |
