Thanks also Alli and Marc! Means a lot to hear your thoughts.

Anyway, I will be the first to say that I don't know a lot about US politics so I'm not really in the position to debate however, what I do know of George Bush and on the war in Iraq is that Bush, in my opinion, is an idiot.

I won't say that the war in Iraq was pointless though. At least not to begin with, perhaps now it's hard to see the point. If it wasn't for the US intervention, Saddam would still be in power and as much hardship as the people there remain to endure, I still see that as a positive in the whole ordeal.

I am amazed by the courage of the great men and women who get deployed there. An ex-boyfriend of mine who is American and went back to live in the US some years ago is now serving for the USAF in Iraq. We ended amicably so we are still on friendly terms. I do fear for his safety as I wouldn't wish anything to happen to him but it seems that nowadays, the war is futile. It is just a killing spree. All these good men and women dieing everyday, and for what?

I sincerely feel for every one of those men and women fighting and for their families and friends. I hope this all ends soon!

First as far as I know I've seen nothing to make me think anyone has ever seen my PMs to anyone. I got nothing but love for ya all!

The video was very heart wrenching. I know we need to get out of there, I just feel bad for those we leave behind to sort the mess out for themselves. But by us being there we just get blamed for anything bad and that lets the truly bad guys off the hook. So I say we leave them to try it on their own a while, if they need help let them come to the UN and ask for it. No one likes it when someone tells them what to do, even if it was for their own good. Just like with any young adult, they make their own decisions and have to deal with the results of those decisions. Lets get back to working on things in our own backyard. There are plenty of home improvement projects to be working on, like the pest control issue in the government.

99%? I have to see this survey!

Well I guess they would be happy though, seeing 6,000+ year old religions and civilizations crumble to make room for our western brand of democracy. What a relief it must be for everyone.

Don't get me wrong, I do support the troops, I support them so much I say bring them the **** home.

Oh, I didn't notice the sarcasm, but I don't favor the war, LOL. I was basically just saying that we need to leave Iraq alone and develop a system that suits them because obviously democracy is not for everybody.

Couldn't agree more Seb but that's the hardest part. There are groups that have been so conditioned to behave so violently and bred to be suicide bombers for so long, that it is so difficult to break the cycle of killing for a cause.

I don't believe there is ever a good reason to kill innocent people for any cause, no matter what religion, race, creed you are. It is unnecessary murder and it happens too frequently across the world, not just in Iraq. It makes me sigh.

Regretfully i have to say that i'm just sick to death of hearing about Iraq and there problems, for a start the media over emphasising the fact that 'innocent' ppl keep dying in this tragic episode of the 'war against terrorisim' or tyranny and what have you does'nt help...and many individual rulers or government officials are accused of tyranny because of this yada yada......as now as Iraq have relinquished of Saddam's rule, the damn Saudi's and Iran have got there snouts in it now & taken up arms and are now becoming a threat (or so we are made to believe..maybe) its a proven fact that these countries are all for the destruction of all that stands for western culture, hence there will to spark up terror camps for training troops!
I believe we've done ENOUGH to try and help out these war mongering idiots try and sort themselves out, by enforcing a so called puppet goverment, properly train & equip willing men into there own army...and still they blow themselves up and kill our boys out there! why dont we just pull ALL our troops outta that hell hole and let em get on with it, and stop 'waisting life' for christs sake!!!!! its pathetic and all pointless now, has it really gone on for so long now that we have to clean up ALL this mess up ourselves........I dont think so
Honestly, if i put the news on tonight and hear that a bunch of Iraqies have pegged it in ANOTHER car bomb attack...i'll just laugh to myself and turn the friggin telly over!
