y does America try to control other countries...i mean we want them to be free...but like Japan, we dont let them have weapons...dont get me wrong i know its for our protection...it just seems like we alwayz get exactly what we want, and when we dont...there goes a war

maybe because the japanese said they would only make a defense force and never declare war again? the JASDF does have plenty of weapons. here, take a look at some:

Aww you beated me to it.

BTW don't forget the JGSDF and JMSDF.

There are terrorists in Iraq.  Terrorists who flew planes into the World Trade Centers and Pentagon, killing thousands of people.  Now we're going after them for killing Americans.  True, it wasn't Iraq, but the Alquidea is in Iraq, and they were the guys behind 9/11.  (I know that I spelled Alquidea wrong, sorry bout that)

And for pete sakes!  The country may not be doing as well as is was before the war, but this is nothing compared to the great depression.

I'm a believer that Al Qaeda had no ties with Iraq nor Iraq housing terrorists until the war and occupation.
