With the war being such a strong political platform, do you ever see an end in sitght?

Question

It's good when we are winning, its better when we lose... (politically) it reinforces stereotypes, promotes fear, and it forces Americans to react. But why did it start, why does it persist? Retaliation? When does that solve anything? It seems like the war is used to change our focus away from the other matters at heart... Take Katrina... It is still REALLY REALLY messed up over there... are we talking about it? Is it a major political topic? It seems that the lives of some 2500 troops to be sent home, is worth more than the millions of affected lives there... Did we send our troops away just to have something else to talk about? So that we could have a bigger defense budget, which siphons our money away? What do we get when we "Win" this war? I can't wait for someone to take the responsibility of being that hero?

Answer 1

Sounds like you should continue the discussion in your class. But remember it's not as bad as you think it is and it certainly not as bad as the liberal press reports it.

Answer 2

Its a huge sucking whirlpool . It will bring every thing down with it .

Answer 3

YEAH. An end to the USA if we elect a Democratic President...

Answer 4

Get a new president and everything will be fine. Bush dozent know what he's doing!

Answer 5

I always wonder why all of those people in the red states are so different than the blue state people.  I'm sure we get all the same national news.  Couldn't they see what they were getting when they voted in the last 2 national elections.  Those leaders are just making billions for themself and all of their friends.  As long as there is MONEY to be made the rich will make it.

Answer 6

Why not?

Luke 24.44-45,47-49

Revealation 16. 12-16

Still fine tuning in putting pieces of the jig-saw puzzles and waiting for "Tie up a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree " to come out.

Luke 2.32

What do you think?

Answer 7

The war will end soon because we can no longer afford all the expenses. American dollars is falling and interest rate too are falling.  Sooner or later, no one will be interested to buy American Federal Bond any more.

It is easy for American to go to capture the other country but it is impossible for us to rule the country effectively.  The citizen of the other country feel offended by our entry.  Stupid American will put what they believe to be right into the other country.  American believed the citizen of the other country hate their dictator and once the dictator is outstered, they will support American Troop.  The reality is not, what the Iraqi want most at this point is to kick out all Americans.

If we conduct a referendum to ask the Iraqi to decide whether they want the American to be there, I am sure you will get an negative answer.  Why we asked them to pick one of the puppet president nominated by the Americans?

Answer 8

The war is a big economic game.

Look to the US economy the Benz company was about to lay off before 9/11 but immediately after 9/11 the got order for 2200 fighter engine.

After the end of cold war 1,50,000 service men were about to lose their jobs and the arms ammunition stationed in different places in Germany and other countries were supposed to be destroyed because there were not enough ware house to keep them.

After Kuwait war and invasion of Afghanistan and then Iraq these service men are very mush getting every thing they need. the weapons those were supposed to be destroyed were station in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Besides getting control over the oil supply line for the next century or so, USA is selling the small arms to those countries and realizing lease money for the heavy arms and missiles etc.

US big companies are doing monopoly business in these countries, and sole supplier of arms and ammunition to the rest of the world.

What a good business.
