Why are we doing this?

What have these people done to us? How do they pose a serious threat? Why do we continue to kill them? We are not a war with Iraq. We are the occupying force. It is the duty of an occupying force to maintain law and order in the country they are occupying. Iraq is not that big, about the size of Texas. And there aren't that many people there, again about the same has Texas, 25 million. The US is spending $1 billion per week supposedly to bring 'democracy' to Iraq. Instead all we bring is death and destruction.

It's time to stop the killing. It's time for Bush to go.

1. Yep

The pisser is that this will turn into another vietnam, complete with "We could have won if it wasn't for the press and those bastard anti-war Liberals." We've already lost. It's possible we lost before we even invaded.

2. Why are we doing this?

Oil, drugs, money, not necessarily in that order.

3. To bring them freedom and democracy to fulfill Wolfowitz, Perle and the

rest of the NeoCon's dreams of a Middle East where the Lions lie down with the Lambs. Where Israel is not threatened and we control the Arab Oil as everyone sings Kumbaya.
