The people were already discontent, and it's really not all that many of them. the discontent in that country went from like 75% to 5%. it's not as quiet because we aren't as brutal as the former dictator, that's all.
3 years should be enough time for the citizenry to quiet down, the iraqi armed forces to settle their own problems, etc.
Especially once we start taking troops out. Then the iranian funded terrorism there will slow down (Iran is shiite, they are funding sunnis to kill shiites).

well, i was referring to this country's citizens. on the contrary, i can take a look around, and it doesn't seem like people even care about what is going on over there sometimes, or that the significance of what happens over there is minimal. everything that happens over there matters considerably, now and for the future.

the question is, when will the troops come home? i'd agree that the terrorism would likely lose a bit of emomentum, however.
Well I can think of many better things to spend billions of dollars on besides war.
Like a cure for cancer, AIDS, alzheimer, spinal injuries, etc, etc.
Its sad that all those things could be solved but the projects are way underfunded.
The amount of money the Federal Reserve is printing for this war is crazy. Your dollar is going to worth nothing pretty soon as its backed up by nothing.

Give me a couple good reasons for this war...... if America is just helping out the Iraqi people explain why we didn't "help" out countries that need MUCH MUCH more help than Iraq; IE many countries in Africa? Governments are commiting genocide in certain parts of Africa, people are dying by the millions and the US does nothing. However, Iraq is special...... and we have sheeps like you that try to find any little detail to somehow prove that this war is ok.
So thousands of American soldiers die....... tens of thousands innocent Iraqi civilians die all because of "faulty evidence." That proves alone that this war never should have started...... you don't start wars in this day and age unless you are 120% certain that you have irrefutable evidence to backup your claims.
You can backpedal all you want.... but if you think, in any way, that this war is justified then you are a)ignorant b)delusional or c)both a and b.
the war would be justified if you were close to someone who died in 9/11
it would be justified for me anyway. i would willingly go into iraq and kill people for revenge. yes its for the wrong reason. but still. id do it

the 9/11 commission ran by republicans concluded the only thing Iraq had to do with 9/11 was that they all had the same color skin. NO CONNECTION TO AL QAEDA AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As dumb as he seems, this is one of the best informed Presidents in history. He has more briefings in a day than any other President before him, including his father, who held an unusually high amounts because he liked to stay informed by the CIA (he ran the agency, remember?).
W. knows what's going on, trust me. Working in the Intelligence Community, I hear of all the daily briefs this guy gets. He spends 3 hours in the morning alone just getting briefed by the different agencies on all that is going on (from 7-10am he is being constantly briefed). When my friends have to go brief him, they have to be at work at 4am and at the White House at 5am.
Remember, just because you hear him say something, doesn't mean he thinks it's right; it could be what he thinks the people want to hear so that he can push his agenda. He is one of the most stubborn Presidents, also. He would be Einsteins paradigm case when he joked, "if the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts."
