Seriously, I don't think Iraq is worth all of our troops dying. Yes, after the defeat and death of Saddam Hussein, Iraq was just trying to reestablish a government, but I think our troops have been there long enough. Terrorists of Iraq are killing our troops left and right, and even Iraq's own innocent people are being killed. I seriously think it's time we move our troops out of Iraq and let the government there take care of its own business.

Tell me what you think.
Hmm, it works both ways. Troops also killed various nativers in Iraq. The war in Iraq is more political than anything else. We don't have any say in this, as aferall we are only a tiny fraction to mean anything to the Government. Power is control in their eyes.

 Yes, it does. I'm willing to bet that right now there are people in the Iraqi government that want our troops out of Iraq so they can run their own government. I think this may be what Iraqi insurgents are trying to do--rid their country of our troops. But the problem is this--while we are targeting those with the weapons, and they do the same to us, there are Iraqi civilians unarmed who are getting killed in the crossfire.

Now I'm not for certain, but such is life in war. Casualties are unavoidable, but those unarmed should never have been killed. Both sides should have taken the strictest cautions possible to make sure those people stay alive so they can go about their day to day business.

We can say all we want about the situation in Iraq, but ultimately it's up to Bush (unfortunately), then the new president who will undoubtedly inherit this mess to take care of. Either way, all governments thrive on power, and ours is no different.
