Robdar:
Innocent people were killed for years and our government still supported Suddam. But suddenly we care? C'mon. This war is not about helping the people of Iraq. It is about something else.
1. Please enlighten me, HOW did we support Saddam? I believe you have us confused with France and Russia, oh yeah and China....
2. Suddenly we care??? SOME of us did care before September 11... but our dumbass President at the time(Clinton) was too worried about putting more money in his pockets and have his **** sucked than to care about the security of the US. Have you heard of the devastation that happened on September 11, 2001? You're darn right, we do care. If we don't it will happen again... Are you saying that we shouldn't care, about our ENTIRE world... not just the land that we live in?
3.You may be right, this war isn't JUST about helping the people of Iraq, it's about ridding the world of a presence that is WAY worse than Hitler or Stahlin EVER was... or do you think he's not threat to the entire world?
perhaps it is YOU that needs to think outside the box. The television box. You have gladly bought into the US government propaganda that our government cares about these people
You are pretty presumptuous to ASSUME that I take my viewpoints from TV only. I have learned that the news and media have their own agenda, that's obvious by their statements and what they show... I'm not so nieve to think that these "people" reporting are not going to in some way interpret the news into their own viewpoints... Some are better than others, but they all have ratings to achieve, and will report based on their viewers likes and dislikes... As far as my opinions, they are gathered based on HISTORY... I learned a lot from History class, the discussions, the research. I did reports and essays, I listened to veterans who spoke about what they did during major world wars... I haven't bought into any government propaganda, I take things on face value. IF George Bush says that he is doing this for all of mankind, I'll believe him until I see otherwise... You can't punish him for the mistakes of his father or other leaders... He has kids, he wants his children to be able to have the same freedoms that they have now, in the future, and that DOES include our children, as well as the children in other countries.
many of us are screaming that our personal liberties are being ripped from us
And what liberties are those? What has changed about your daily activities since this all began? Do you have warplanes flying over your house at all hours of the day or night? Do you have a shortage of necessities, such as food or water? Please enlighten me as to your hardships....
Many of us are ready to take to the streets. Can we count on you to join us so that your children will not be dealing with dictators like Saddam?
You want to take to the streets to do what? What our troops are already trying to do, protect our liberties and freedoms? Yes you can count on me, I already support our troops and pray that this victory comes sooner than later...
I am VERY proud to be an AMERICAN. I wholeheartedly support our president in his decisions, and our troops on their missions...
The bottom line is, WAR is a fact of life, it will always BE a FACT OF LIFE. No one likes war, but we have to defend ourselves against evil forces of the world.... Genocide effects everyone, be it now, or in the future.
So tell me this.... what other solution do you have for our current world situation? Do you think we can win over Saddam and his regime by sending balloons and teddy bears?
