Why distroy a city in a war if were going to rebuild it ?

Skitz628

There is no point in it. What do missiles and bombs cost? Money. What does a soldier's time and effort cost? Money. What do houses and stores cost to rebuild? Money. The way to catch a bad guy is not to blow up everything in site. The policy isn't shoot first ask questions later or at least it shouldn't be. It's a stupid thing to do and is just a bad way to be. It isn't just Bush that has done this, many Presidents before him have done as much and it's a common mistake. I don't think that it is our job to rebuild Iraq, and I don't think that it was our place to blow it up to begin with. America in my opinion needs to learn how to butt out, and focus on its internal problems. After all, what could be more important than home?

because of gorge bush

There is a great lesson in life in the answer to your question. America always leaves it's conquest better then it found them. If you try to leave every place you live and person you meet a little bit better then you found them, your life will have been worthwhile and most important don't worry about what other people are doing.

probably because the rich will get richer and the poor, poorer. Meaning it seems to be quite profitable for those involved in the construction process over seas as well as here, as the prices of everything gos up, from construction materials to the labor involved to rebuild, not to mention who gets the contracts to rebuild and who is associated with it. I wish for once when we occupy a country we could actually benefit from it,,,why can't they pay for their own reconstruction with all their oil? Are we trying to show the world how nice we are, we will take on the responsibility and price tag of rebuilding your country? Why do we care, most of the world hates us anyway, whatever we do its not good enough, so lets use their oil and money to restore their country, whatever happened to all that cash we found and took from Sadam whats his face, our fuel prices should be 0.75 cents a gallon instead of 3 dollars,,,,

good point

if we don't rebuild it, it will remain a shithole where terrorist and other radicals can grow and set up base

Clean slate and to get it right this time.

knu

u break it u buy it! LATEST LAW of international politics.

rebuild it and take payment for the rebuild in oil.

sarcastic_cheeto

as a designer, my first answer has to be so that we can build it better....
other than that all i can say is... if your neighbor is an idiot why do you expect those in power are any better... after all we are all related

Marlin Darlin

Good point. We are being too nice. We have to destroy the buildings to rid the city of the insurgence, so we should not build it back so they bad people come back when we leave. If there's no city-they won't come.

Bush , of course .

it has nothing to do with bush. to start with the military will bomb all forms of telecommunications of a city,country when in war, so the enemy cant use phones.cell included so whoever is being bombed cannot be in contact with each other through these devises. also their power sources and water sources are taken out. along with enemy headquarters etc. the rebuilding only comes if the war was successful in removing the problem. this was made up by the United Nations a long time ago.

wallsh2u

how they expect take over if they can't destroy anything!?
If can't destroy it artilery,bombers,missiles,grenades,RPG's... can't b used....thats y

steveangela1

the first answer is completly wrong, the US has done this in every war we have been in... COMPLETLY STUPID! I don't see the afganistan people, or the Al kida?? (SP) rebuilding the damage they did..
This country is full of pansies! who feel sorry for people

when your old enuff you will lean that the is three was to do things in this world. there is your way and my way then there is the militarie way, and in war there is no wrecking crew.It is you or them. no queations.

Biker

It is the Marshall Plan. It is outdated and sorely putting the crunch on our already insanely huge deficit.
I say if we have to come over there and kick your a**, you will foot the bill to rebuild not us!

rapingofhumanity

yes bush indeed

Texas Cowboy

You have a good point.

Oil my boy, don't see anyone from America rebuilding Croatia or Serbia Herzegovina, do you? And US is not re-building the cities, they are building an infra-structure to withdraw oil easily in and out of the country. They are building underground caves to store stockpiles of weapons for future warfare (this is normal for any victor that takes occupation). US is an occupying force, do not mistake that for a benevolent government re-building cities.

fathead

I take it you are an advocate of neutron weapons then? Kill all the inhabitants and leave the buildings in place?

Hmm, when I think about it, destruction of cities during war does foster replacement of dated services such as sewer systems, mass transit, electricity distribution, etc.

jamnjims

So they can try out there new toys.
just think if we spent as much money trying to help the world as we do destroying it all things could be. I think people are stupid from air pollution or something. makes no since does it.
