I kinda see Iraq as a potentially good movie with a lot of bad actors.

I personally don't think our military situation there is a failure. I guess it's just me but I don't take casualty counts as a measure of how favorable war is. Mind you if all of a sudden troops started dropping in thousands by the hour, I would have a wave of concern.

Another opinion factor though is yes I do feel very safe because of the war. My view of America is that we are a beautiful country, we mean well, but we won't get stepped on. I feel as if we've been fair, and that after enough alarm has been raised to potential harm us we reacted.

Feel as if you want about that statement, but I've firm belief in what I would say is not the moral superiority of the United States, but the Moral reasonablility of the United States. Compared to the world governments at play that could hold as much sway as us we are the most partisan over the influence we have. I think from us liberating Iraq we've given them more options then any other country with similiar potential has been available too.


Yes the election on the 30th will cause more problem as it gets closer, but what I'm hoping for is for the people to prevail. As our election got closer, more and more incidents occurred, and I think it rallied more of our voters. Some went for Kerry, some went for Bush but all together the American people voted in larger then normal numbers and they were not intimidated by the cowardly actions of those insurgents in Iraq. I'm hoping the people of Iraq choose who they want, and no outward force (either it us or rebels) try to sway the outcome of the election



In the end though I think Iraq may fail because of the people there, and the nay sayers here.

I will offend people by this statement, but I must say it.

I think Iraq has a potential of failure becauase the muslim people is an empire fallen. They were a group who had such beautiful potential yet wasted it away, and now in the face of someone who is willing to help, someone who looks to be in a better situation, they will hold a subconcious contempt for us. Yes many will take us in with open arms, but the small naysayers in the group will spread their gospel like wildfire and anything we've done would begin to offend them and that feeling will fester over time.

Who am I to say my way of life is better?...all I know is I wake up feeling safer.
