5 years
We recently passed the five-year anniversary for the illegal invasion of a foreign country. George Bush stood up in front of the world and told us he still believes it was the right thing to do and that the military action should continue.
For the first time about this particular subject I agree with President Bush.
At the time of the invasion 63% (for the sake of the argument lets call this 2/3’s) of Americans believed we should invade this country and a lot of my friends agreed with this. Come to think of it, I am struggling to remember anyone I spoke to about this subject at the time who didn’t believe that an invasion was the right thing to do.
As of now, 2/3’s of the people think that we should pull out of this war.
This unsettles me because 1/3 of these fair weather war supporters are happy now to admit that they were incorrect in their original thoughts and that yes, we should pull out of the country and subscribe the people of Iraq to a civil war for the next heaven knows how many years.
It disappoints me that a person can have an opinion about something as important as the invasion of a foreign country under the masquerade of weapons of mass destruction and then change their minds when things start getting a bit tough.
At least the other third of the people who still support the war stand by their opinion and will be happy to send their brothers, sisters or children to fight.
Shirvo,
Think I was one of the only people you know that was against going to Iraq. And I still believe it was the wrong thing to do. Now the question is should we pull the troops out, well the answer is not until the mess they have created is cleaned up.
We should pull out. I think we should have gone in a got rid of Sadam and it has been the best thing to do. Now we should pull out, our job is done.
We shouldnt have gone in the first place but now we are there we can’t just leave the mess we made. I agree with you Krusty 100%. Rob B again you and I see things very differently.
