I think it is good because we are liberating Iraq from years of violence, back when the pyramids were being built Iraq was already having troubles with neighbooring countries the only thing is is that Back then Iraq had a small community.

ROFL... Iraq + Pyramids!!!!
Where you get your info from...? Iraq troubles start somewhere near the gulf war when it started attacking Kuwait...
Anyway, I personally think the war in Iraq was a terrible idea... first of all, the war was ORIGINALLY started coz of the WMD conspiricy > which later turn out to be false which is when the media started declaring the war was to liberate Iraq...
But the thing is America is trying to make an absolute dictatorship country into a capatlist country in 3 years... what were they thinking... you can't expect the mind set of people to change in that short period of time...
+ eventhough Saddam Hussien was a jerk dictator, he did maintain the peace between the Shia and Sunni tribe... and now with him gone, everything went to hell...

The WMD's were hauled out of iraq into Syria right before the U.S came in airliners where the seats were taken out of...
Here is part of a report i had to write in 8th grade hope it explains some stuff
Weapons of Mass Destruction: According to a general that served in Saddam’s air force says Iraq moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria before the war by loading the weapons into civilian aircraft in which the passenger seats were removed to carry these weapons. The General says he is confident that these weapons were taken there to be used later. Democrats have made the absence of stockpiles of these weapons in there theme to the criticism of the Bush Administration. We have to go to war to find these weapons and demolish them safely and not hurt any one in the process but the problem is that we need to find these weapons and when we were in Iraq to search for those weapons quote bush "We did not find those weapons." But that does not mean we need to stop searching since they are in Syria. We also need to find those weapons because if they could be used against the U.S.

I think that it was a well-intentioned idea that turned out to be a disaster. We removed the dictator that we implanted there in the first place, and we caused the racial tension that can break out into a civil war at any minute, the tension that could only been contained by a violent dictatorship. The terrorists are idealistic idiots, and US basically has no clue how to deal with them. Even the new Iraqi government officials we implanted there want us out. The majority of Iraqis want us out, too. Even Bush is now going for stability of the area, not building a successful democracy. But then, I have absolutely no clue how we can solve this gigantic problem, so maybe I should shut my complaining mouth.

To whoever posted that the WMd's are actually in Syria: Where's your proof? All you've got is one general who sounds like he's trying to save his Equus asinus. And you still haven't come up with the document you got that from. The only possible justification that I can now find for going to war with Iraq was to stop the genocide upon the Kurds(which was actually an afterthought more than anything else). But guess what? With the Sunni and Shiites attacking each other, we STILL have genocide, except on a much grander scale than what was going on with the Kurds. And the sad thing is, once everything is said and done, the Kurds will still probably experience genocide from whoever comes out on top in Iraq.

WMD's in Syria? Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Syria's Baath Party on bad terms with Iraq's Baath Party?
