War on Iraq
I know, It's too far into politics for my normal trend. But I am curious to hear what people think.
Lets start with the statistics.
American Deaths Since the war started------------1744 Since the Capture of Saddam---1277
You could say that this fairly rules out any personal vendetta that Bush may of had with Saddam. (As a cause of the war at least)
Americans Wounded------------13074
Iraqi Boby Count---------------22582 to 25590 (no way to be sure)
62% of americans expected the war to be quickly over. 82% of foreign countries are against the war. 79% of people think that Saddam was guilty of mass genocide 62% of people think that Osama BinLaden is a bigger threat than Saddam. 64% of people thought that Iraqi troops could take over and win the war. 89% of Americans believed that in winning the war, we would lose the peace in the midlle east.
America is supposedly implementing democracy in Iraq. But according to these numbers, we obviously didn't take into consideration what the people thought. The poeple's voices that are the base for democracy. Why would we force a system onto another country, that we don't use ourselves?
Questions:
Has the Iraq war made the world a safer or more dangerous place?
Is Iraq ready for democracy?
How has media coverage of the Iraq war changed your opinion of the war?
Did Iraq under Saddam Hussein provide sanctuary to terrorists?
Would pulling back from war with Iraq cause fatal political damage to President Bush?
Is the US government using scare tactics to convince Americans to support war with Iraq?
In the mind of President George W. Bush, is war with Iraq a question of "if" or "when"?
Should the U.S. government have provided proof of its assertion that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction?
Iraq: Are weapons of mass destruction the pretext while oil is the real prize?
Should the United States adopt a policy of taking preemptive military action against other countries?
Has America won the war?
Harder Question: Our country is not in danger of losing it's freedom. Our country is not being threatened. Our country is not in any danger of being invaded. Knowing this, could you fight and die for "your country"?
