The military

[SandSpur]

It was actually a big part of the war, because it was still Al Qaeda, and we needed to stop the terrorists from continuing their, well, terror.

well ur making me mad and i love this country i wish that all of the jerks who hate the military will just die and leave the earth or they can join the military and see what its like being shot at and seeing ur life falsh before ur eyes if u where in say iraq and a bomb landed in front of ur best freind and they ran and the rest of ur group was going to die the first thing that comes to ur head is jump on it and die to save ur comrades and u get the CMH medal thats y if u look 99% of the people in arlington are marines they have made them selves join the toughest branch to serve this country so ask them if they feel sorry about it the answer will be "no"(this is directed away from halo since he know pretty much what im saying)

no, we went into this war because we "assumed" the had WMDs, and yet, we still haven't found any

[selocon]

be cause bein laden killecd himself and they want us out of there when at the begining they wanted us to fix it and i think just brop a powerful bomb on one of their major cities and say if u dont surender well do it again just like we did in WWII my grandpa was in that war and his stories take me way back so i know that world war 2 was terrible but we beat japan with a bomb we can beat iraq with a bomb

no, we just need to swallow our pride and get out of there before we lose more lives, also, another reason for the war is oil, i mean WTH a war over a liquid. it is dumb

I second that.

[Jgoodwin202]

all i have to say, is if this war ends before i get out of school, i will join the military, but if it still goes on, im not joining

[SandSpur]

its not about oil. The reason people keep saying that is because there was a group attacking a city in Afghanistan and we came to stop them. It really wasn't a big deal.

[Jgoodwin202]

it is about oil and if there was a attack, let them handle it, it is none of our buissness, and check out this section of a page i found

So why did we go to war with Iraq?

The short answer is "oil." But that's not the whole story.

Briefly, we went to war with Iraq because an influential group of conservatives (now known as "neo-cons") convinced President George W. Bush that it was in America's best interests to conquer Iraq as a first step toward dominating the oil-producing nations in the Middle East and eventually the world.

as it said:

Briefly

It was about oil for a short time. Now its completely different.
