Baker's Panel Rules Out Iraq Victory
in response to reader comment: Who wins if we leave?

Submitted by Chris, Dec 7, 2006 16:55

Not all of your comments were incorrect. We all have an opinion and I respect that but the people who attacked the USA on 9/11 don't all live in Iraq. The United States has flexed their muscle in the Middle East. They pretty much destroyed Afghanistan, and are doing the same to Iraq, with Iran and Syria next in their sights. There are plenty of innocent men, women, and children whose lives will never be the same because of the United States. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the USA help all of these so called terrorists and tyrants come to power in that region. By the way, where's Osama? The USA has a history of cooperating and doing business with people only to turn around and paint them as bad news once they have served their purpose. (Manuel Noriega, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, just to name a few. I'm sure there's more we will never hear about)

A few thousands soldiers died fighting in Iraq, but wars do kill people. especially the people holding weapons. the soldiers knew they had a chance to die by going over there. They should not have joined the military if they did not want to die by mortars or suicide bombers. This war will never be won. If a "win" means wiping out a race of people, then the USA should just drop another Atom Bomb on the entire region, and just protect the Jews, of course. A few thousand people died on 9/11 and it was tragic. However, the USA has killed Millions, if not billions of people worldwide. 9/11 was a response to the constant coddling of Israel by the USA. Who wins if the US leaves Iraq, how about people who value their life. The US is the biggest terrorist in the entire world. I'm an American, tax-paying citizen by the way.

The news reports that a few Soldiers, died in the constant fighting in Iraq. How many innocent people died from the US bombings in the start of this war? How many innocents died in the Israeli bombing of Lebanon. Peace will never be reached throughout the world, not with the USA farming all of these terrorists.
