A question I have.......

mominiowa · 05-24-2005, 06:43 PM

Tell me the reason YOU think we are at WAR??

David813 · 05-24-2005, 06:56 PM

I think we are at war because this Administration saw quick & easy profits coming from Iraq's robust oil industry. Though crippled by sanctions the US & the Saudis saw a great opportunity to topple a 3rd World dictator and come rolling in with our own oil industry contractors to set up the profit machine, complete with cheap local labor. After our President, VP, CIA and others manufactured the lie that Iraq was a direct threat to US stockholders most Americans believed it of course and committed their kids to die for the defense of their great country. THEN, the reasons for the war changed. The reason for the war changed to 'Getting rid of a brutal tyrant.' THEN it changed to 'Spreading Democracy." Now the war is about fighting terrorism. Soon it will be about revenge for all the soldiers that have been killed. I say Draft Young Republicans.

oil, money, finishing Daddy's war, find Osama - Osama who?

bring Democracy to third world countries, keeping weapons of mass destruction out of third world countries (especially away from Israel) - there are any number of reasons. The only reason I have NOT heard is to spread Christianity.

Islam is the world's largest religion and spreading fast. Christians will have to someday come to terms with their minority status.

Hi David. I'm curious as to why you say Islam is "....spreading fast" What are you basing that on?

Thanks, Jika.

Thought this whole war actually went back to when Saddam illegally invaded Kuwait and the Americans / Allies went in to liberate them. They fought the Iraqis back to the border and wanted to press on to overthrow the regime because of the Kurds getting slaughtered in the north, but the UN wouldn`t authorise it then. (However, the Iraqis actually maintain that Kuwait has always historically been part of Iraq and was illegally `partitioned` due to oil wealth anyway, so with most world problems, there`s no straightforward explanation)

If that is the situation, Buzz, tread very carefully.

The world will be a very different place very soon. Brace yourselves, and keep in mind Communism is the most effective religion killer known to man.
