First of all, I think a big part of the controversy involving Iraq is how they were connected to the terrorists in the first place. Bush seemed to have a personal motive to go in and take out Saddam (“he tried to kill my dad!”), and used things like “links to terrorism” and “weapons of mass destruction” as ways to gain support with the American people.
Now, I’m not saying that Saddam was a great guy, but was it really our responsibility to go in there and set up a democracy, without the backing of the U.N.? Would the people of Iraq hate us so much if we never got involved in their business in the first place?
My friend just came back from Iraq, and he said that it’s really different than you might expect. Most of the people there are just trying to get on with their lives and do their own thing, and when you have bombs going off in the streets and seeing gunfights between solders and insurgents and having to pull over on your way to work to make way for U.S. patrols, I think I’d be getting sick of it too. I don’t think it’s so much that they hate Americans; they’re just sick of us being around. I’m sure they’re glad to be rid of Saddam, but they’d also like for us to get out of their damn country! I know I wouldn’t be too thrilled if my country was being occupied, especially when they were killing innocent civilians and inciting violence with radicals. Iraq wasn’t always a battleground for terrorism, we MADE it one! You think we can just go and hunt down all the terrorists and win the War on Terror? Here’s some news for ya; WE CAN’T WIN THE WAR ON TERROR! It’s like saying we’ll eventually win the War on Drugs, and we all know how successful that’s been.
It seems like a great solution to our problems: If you have a problem, declare war on it! That seems to be the policy in recent years. You also have to think about the insurgents this way; it’s kinda like the gangs in L.A. or just any other criminal. They’re a minority, and most of the people think they’re a menace and wish to have them out of the way. It’s the same way for the Iraqis, only their society is much different from ours and their Islamic traditions bring out violence to achieve different ends.
Regardless, you sound like a dumb@ss who doesn’t really know what the hell he’s talking about anyway, I just had to vent for a second (or two).
