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....... smile.gif

LOL.



No War = No Freedom. The islomofascists have been attacking EVERYONE for centuries. George Bush finally had enough when they struck the Twin Towers. Something like 93% of the world's conflicts involve Muslims, but Rommel (sitting in Norway of all places) blames George Bush. When Norway gets into trouble I'll be sure to call my congressman and tell them to stay out of it.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill

Do you know that one Norwegian special soldier was killed in Afghanistan. Do you know there are a family without a father like a lot of US family and Afghanistan family.
Pray to God that there are not are more killed in the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. What will happen when the your/our soldier go home? Will there be peace? The only i know is that Saddam and his staff is gone.

I have a good understanding. What are you implying? That Germany did not invade your country? That Germany did invade, but Norway beat them off by themselves with no help from the US or Britain. crazy.gif



Of course, everyone hates war. That goes without saying. But without "war" you'd be subjects of Nazi Germany today. doh.gif (See, I can use these litle fella's also. LoL.)

Gen Sam

This war has radicalized the average not suicidal muslim to do things they would never have before. Look at the London bombings. Several of them had a wife and kids but they felt the need to defend their religion from their own country (UK). Matter of time before we are hit. Only this time it'll be a few pissed off muslim kidsfrom Chicage, Austin (insert anytown USA) with backpacks full of nails and plastique at your local mall at Christmas time. Until that happens you're right there have been no more additional attacks on US soil. Why would they need to? We're sending our men over to Iraq to get slaughtered. 3,702, that's the number of US casualities in Iraq. 2,974, that's the number of people killed on 9-11. We sent 3,702 of our own people to die in a country who had nothing to do with 9-11, essentially we have killed more of own people than those hijackers did. Plus every little girl or boy, father or aunt we kill in Iraq makes 20 more family members who will NEVER forget who did it. The proof is in the numbers.

Terrorist attacks worldwide since 9-11
2003 172 attacks
2004 655 attacks
2005 10000 attacks

Talk about stirring up a hornets nest. I say death to all crazy islamic radicals but why constantly poke the nest with a stick?




I don't know where you get those numbers Shaz. Maybe every time someone fires a rifle in Iraq?



Anyway everyone, Shazbot's point is this. EVERYONE BOW DOWN TO ISLAM. DO NOT RESIST OR YOU WILL BE EXECUTED. (Chop Chop Chop)..."Anyone else restisting?...No?" "There now. Isn't peace grand".
