Our reputation and ego will be harmed more the longer we stay there. We have no duty to police the world.
no duty to the world? if we did'nt help anyone we wouldn't have any allies! (which we do need)

Originally posted by AThousandYoungWell, I don't know if we should do things base on our ego or rep. I could gives a rats butt what others think of the US.

However, I would love to just sit back and let the world run itself and we can focus on our own turf for a while.

Originally posted by lepomisif people think bad of the USA then we would have many enemy's. sitting back on our own turf is out of the question, imposable, we own the world pretty much and we have to run it.

I strongly disagree to this comment, I do not believe that the war is over oil at all. if you disagree with this comment i'll have you remember 9/11. but perhaps you think it was a government scam?
Dude, the guys who blew up the twin towers were from Saudi Arabia, not Iraq. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Wake up.
However, my comment was not about the reasons for the war....someone posted that the middle east has a big influence on the world and I simply pointed out that once the oil is pumped out there will be no influence to be had by the middle eastern countries.

No he wasn't. Every country in the world knows this except for 47% of Americans (according to the most recent US poll I saw)
Bin Ladden and Hussein were not teamed up. It's astonishing how many americans refuse to accept the fact that you were given bad info by your government.
Cheney met with Hussein in the 80's....does this mean that the US support terrorists too?? Of course not. 😞

Originally posted by uzlessi may be wrong about them teaming up... but how does the government get info to their citizens? through the media who have the power to change somethings.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungSorry AThousandYoung, but you are absolutely wrong. The "few" are, by a considerable margin, in fact, the few. If you know what I'm saying. George W. Bush recently took a poll to determine what the majority of Americans think about this war. Although he probably wouldn't listen to the withdrawal demands despite the protesting. Anyway, in reference to your other comment, "the loudmouth citizens are the only ones that matter in this case". You, again, are wrong. The only reason they are loud is because what they want isn't happening. The rest of the population is getting what they want by having the troops in Iraq, so they aren't yellin' and screamin'. Furthermore, what happened to "One man, One vote" and "All men are created equal"? Also, wouldn't you agree that if we hadn't gone over there they would have eventually come over here? Isn't it better to keep the battle in your opponent's backyard, instead of yours?
Those "few" are the majority.
