Quote from lundy:
This thread should have been limited to americans. We already know that most of the world is against us in this.
I voted America wins. I feel threatened by some maniac on the other side of the world developing nuclear weapons. A maniac that wouldn't hesitate to use those weapons against us... A maniac that terrorizes his own people.
Someone mentioned "how would we feel if Russia invaded us because we terrorized the blacks early on in our country's history". It was unnecessary because a civil war took care of it.
In fact, with regards to America and Americans, I think that if majority were against our president in this war, we would have either an impeachment or a civil war. The fact that we don't is evidence that the majority think we are on the right side of this war.
I really think tha aside from the oil it is good that we take over Iraq so we have a really good presence in the region so we can put our finger on these future terrorist groups that may arise. I understand how all of this can look like a move from a bully but this is how we feel we can fight terrorism. At the end of the day, we are doing what we need to do aside from the foreign feeling toward us.
What have they done for us that should make us listen to them?
In regards to the rest of the world, if they really feel that we are wrong, and continue to feel this way after the war has ended, they will see us as their enemy, and eventually it will lead to war.
But I personally don't care. So long as we are looking out for what we beleive is right, then our president is doing a good job.
I don't care if the rest of the world is against us. All I care about is that our government is doing what we want it to. I'm glad Bush is not a wimp and for the most part, he certainly represents me.
To sum it up, our country is just pursuing the interests of it's people. It's not like we have some maniac on the loose. This is a democracy.
Iraq on the other hand is not a democracy. We will liberate the people of Iraq by ridding them of Sadam and his regime. But even if all the people of Iraq were behind him, we will still get rid of the enemy.
