The war in Iraq, Justified? Options

[Kleerance]

I just wonder what you North Americans feel about the war in Iraq.

Do you think it's right? (why/why not?)

This war is expensive for US. How much are you willing to sacrifice from a domestic perspective (money and casualties) to win.

Other strong opinions...?

I am just curious.......

Personally, I don't think it's America's job to be the world police. If we are going to take on that role, why not go to Africa and clean all that crap up. There is a holocaust going on where hundreds of thousands of people are being exterminated and we're not doing much about it. Why aren't we doing much about it? Well, the Islamic leaders and politicians in Sudan have names and locations to several terrorists in the Middle East that we're trying to find, so basically we're turning a blind eye to what's happening in exchange for information.

I'm all for helping people and other countries but at some point we need to finish helping our own country. New Orleans and surrounding area is still in shambles. We have military veterans that aren't being taken care of. Our elderly are getting screwed over by the health care companies. All and all, everything boils down to the dollar. War makes money... atleast it makes money for people with bloody hands.
