War in Iraq

[H2SO4]

This war doesn't seem to be getting any better does it? I'm not one that's all against the war or anything but man, so much fighting and so little change. Everyone over there just loves to blow things up and are so damn good at it. I was just watching the news and violence has gone up 40% since last month, 100 civilian kills per day. And with the rising trouble in Lebanon/Israel... things aren't looking to good. Those people seem to be so content with killing each other that I don't think any amount of fighting them is going to change the way they think.

Anyway I wanted to know what other people on the pav think about this topic, like if anyone thinks we might be heading into another world war or something. I sure hope not but maybe it's inevitable.

I've been called an insect before and since insects have been theorized to take over the world once we **** ourselves over - I am confident that I will survive the ordeal.

There is no war in Iraq. There's liberation. The fiery ball of freedom shall engulf Iraq.

We're making their lives a better place. Soon they'll have shopping malls, coffee shops, and Christian churches on every corner.

I can't wait.

This thing will end within the next six years, I'd say. But it'll end with a false sense of peace. And then, all hell will break loose.

Fixed.

Only if the car bombs are being used on said buildings.

Re: War in Iraq

My main problem with the war in Iraq is we don't have an actual goal. I fully aware of the changes they're making and trying to make. But there's no overall end goal. Without that we can't ever really say we won. And I'd be surprised if the democracy we establish over there doesn't fall apart. You can't have people's revolution for them.

Re: War in Iraq

There will never be "freedom" there, not as long as Christians are on their land.
It’s like taking the queen out of a bee hive and tossing in a different one from another hive.
It is absolutely impossible.

Palestine VS Israel anyone? That war has been going on for over a thousand years.
The only thing which changed over all these centuries were the weapons they’ve used.
Will it end soon? How bout in another thousand years? Two thousand?

Doesn’t look good over there. Then again, has it ever?
It’s another one of those “Here we go again” situations.

Re: War in Iraq

Aren't we due for another war at home? I mean, when was the last time the US was under an official attack? Pearl Harbor?

Re: War in Iraq

there's a world war on the way baby!

somebody watches too much news media.

I mean, when was the last time the US was under an official attack? Pearl Harbor?

september 11th, 2001? unless by official, you mean some country declaring war on some other country. which would discount the attack on pearl harbor.

Re: War in Iraq

9/11, some jerks simply hijacked a few of our commercial planes. I'm talking about some country directly attacking us with artillery, like how Japan sent their own planes and bombs and the like (and how we went over to Iraq with soldiers and planes and bombs).

Re: War in Iraq

France attacked us with bad wine and stale croissants, does that count?
