And "Rogue" Iraqis are still firing on American troops because you bombed the hell out of, and invaded their contry. I dont know about you, but if someone did that to my country id be p*ssed.

Have you honestly paid attention to anything that has gone on during and after the war?

1) We didn't "bomb the hell" out of their country", as I stated as recently as my last post. We strategically targeted military targets and then executed them, leaving 99% of Bagdad still standing. We even left the lights and utilities working for most of the country, but Saddam felt he'd rather sabotage his own city just like he did his oil fields.

2) The majority of rebels that you speak of are NOT IRAQI'S, they are fundamentalist insurgents from Iran and Syria. If you even watch the Daily Show to get your news you would know this.

Bush thinks he can go into iraq and force the western view of sociatle structure on them. But he cant, they are stuck in their views because thats how they lived for centuries. Put it this way: The Iraquis want to be westernizes about as much as we want to live in Iraq.

That statement is not only silly but borders on racist. You are confusing culture with Democracy, which is simply a form of govenment. Bush is not out to convert them to Christianity or make them start wearing Dockers or anything. He just wants to have them actually be FREE and not indescriminantly murdered. If you want to blame anyone for having westernized Iraq, blam SADDAM. He began westernizing his country in the 70's . Also, your saying that they don't want change because of their way of life is just plain stupid and mildly offensive.

Just pull the troops out of Iraq, clean up your mess and stop killing innocent people. Too many people die from this.

Pulling out of Iraq before finishing the job would be the most damaging event that could ever happen to our country and theirs. It would be the biggest victory in the history of fundamentalist terrorism and only make terrorism 10 times worse and it would cause thousands more deaths than we could ever cause in our "mad killing spree" in Iraq. What do you think would happen in Iraq without the US holding it together with no government? Revolution, persecution and untold death.

All Wars are just basically Dick waving contests. Its one of those "Im better than anyone else so im justified to force my opinion on others" mentality.

Oh yeah, I forgot all wars were just silly "dick waving contests"... besides the one that stopped the slaughter of European jews... and the one that freed the slaves... and the one that won my country its freedom... and the one that stopped the genocide of Croatian muslims...

Except for all those you're right, war never brought on anything good

When it comes down to it, you cant tell people how to live or what to do or how to do it. thats called Communism. And thats what the Americans are doing to Iraq, they are becoming the Communist power.

Um... thats called FASCISM, not COMMUNISM, and its nothing like fascism AT ALL. This only goes to show that right now you are speaking about topics that you understand very little about. Grow up, read up, and then come back and argue.
