iraq war Options

[PurpleDaze112]

i just wanted to know why you all think it started.

being that I was only eleven or twelve when the thing began, I don't really know about alot of the politics at the time, but I think that one of the reasons the american people got into it so quickly was simple bloodlust. basically, they bombed our towers, so we want to retaliate. looking back on it, i think it's totally ridiculous that we went into a war that would lead to thousands of deaths, the destruction of multiple arab cities, not to mention tons more debt. besides that, we didn't even know the right person to attack when this thing began. 9/11 was horrible, but the decision to rush into battle was just brash and ill-planned.

^ It really irritates me when people say stuff like that. "Since you were not in Iraq and saw the stuff first hand, that makes what you say 10% less reliable than what the he says."
Its like, ya, he was in Iraq and he saw the stuff that went on, but just because you didnt actually fight in the war does not mean you dont know what is going on.

Just sayin'.



And I dont really want to add to this debate. I dont know why it started. Im pretty sure the twin towers incident made us go into Afganistan and going into Iraq was something different altogether. But feel free to tell me I am wrong, because I probably am and I dont have FACTS. So ya.

Until you actually work intelligence and you have to interact with Iraqis on a daily basis, getting to know them personally, learning about their government reform and how the majority of them feel about Saddam and the US presence, you don't really have much space to say anything. Hell, I can argue this all I want because of the information that was presented to me first hand.

Fail.

Tama is a Muslim. This much is clear. Tama does his best to remain in tune with what's going on in the Arab world. This, too, is also clear. Despite his random rant about conspiracy theories, he's actually worth debating because his perspective is not an uncommon one.
