Quick Question
Hey Everyone, I have a quick little Question/poll that I need taken for a class im taking right now.

Why do you feel we should pull out from Iraq within 1 year? Citing sources to back up claims would be appriciated but not neccesary.


Thanks everyone!

2. Let me put it this way
Do you want me coming into your country, killing, raping, and toturing your people, the same way your leader did, then staying there forever? My answer pretty much would be that we aren't doing any good there. A useless effort, a pointless war, bring our troops home. A report a week ago about that girl who was raped, and I think murdered by our troops sort of backs up my claims. Sorry, I can't spend the time looking for it though.:-(

5. We had no right to invade Iraq in the first place
Sadaam had nothing to do with 9/11 or al qaeda. We invaded an innocent country. We need to pull out ASAP.

6. might look at the
defense filed by Lt. Watada (hope I got that spelled correctlY) who refused to deploy recently. He makes some very interesting points in his arguements about the war being illegal. Also you might look up the writings of Andrew Bacevich (again not sure on spelling) and his book from last summer "The New American Militarism". He did an article for the Wilson Quarterly as well.

7. Troops need to stay in Iraq ?? Someone else posted this on DU
a long time ago. You have to look at the whole picture with a common sense approach.
..........................................

You go to a guy's house that you have been talking shit about for many years. You throw a bottle of grape juice through his window and climb in after it.

You tell him your going to clean it up, but you go to his fridge and take a sandwich. You then go lock his little sister in a closet, shoot his dad, and get to work cleaning out his wallet.

He tells you to get the fuck out, and you say I can't leave yet, I haven't cleaned up the juice yet, while you proceed to punch him in the face.
