Quote by marfish14The other countries
were following the u.s.'s lead. Its not a good thing to be on bad terms with the
u.s. as their more powerful than most countries. I must agree that it was the
individuals decision on what they all did. There are many places where the u.s.
could give aid to, but they chose to "help" a country that did not
need it. They shouldnt even have invaded iraq in the first place and the fact
that they changed their campaign for the war, makes it obvious that they were
not just going in there to "help" them.
A nice one would have been to help in rwanda. As thousands died after the tutsi
came and murdered the hutus. Great that they can invade a country that doesnt
need it and let thousands die from an old fashioned
slaughter
Tragically, if there were oil profits to be made in
Rwanda, things might've been different.

Well, a 'house divided against itself shall not stand'
(Matthew 12:25). It's quite a tangled web over there in Iraq. Keep in mind, half
of Vietnam was also divided and it also fell.
Quote by vatican92Well......... so why
is US in Iraq trying to help Iraq when it's UN's job to do those
things?
We weren't the only ones to invade Iraq. The UK,
Australia, Denmark, Poland, and Peshmerga were also involved in the 2003
invasion. And the UN doesn't necessarily operate as one entity, all the nations
have a say in international affairs and are free to practice their own foreign
policy as long as it doesn't violate UN requirements of membership.

i really dont know about the specific jobs...im no
expert on those kinda things,but do have great points why we should support our
troops and trust in them.
Quote by marfish14Did you hear about
the time when a group from the u.s. army saw a girl leaving the iraqi border and
followed her. They killed her family and everyone of them raped her, then they
killed her. I agree war, war isnt a picnic. But just because your from one side
it doesnt make it right.
you must realize that just because
someone is in the army doesnt make them a sinless decent person...things that
happen(like the thing you mentioned)are examples of indecent soldiers.That is
nor reason to blame the army.
Quote by kingray100did you guys hear
of the story on how there were 4 men in the army in Iraq and they were talking
to some civilians...but later those civilians told the terrorists where they
were and 3 out of 4 men were killed?these are things you have to keep in
mind....war isnt a picnic.
Well, this may be used against
further involvement in the war in Iraq and reason to bring the troops home. The
people of Iraq are against U.S. occupation. If that's the case then bring the
troops home. If it were civilians telling U.S. forces where the terrorists were,
then I'd be more pro-war.

There is no job, do you think the u.s. would go into a country that is like many
others and strive to stop religious groups? Its not like murder was rampant,
untill the u.s. came around and people tride standing up for their country. For
one thing, thats not what the war was based on for the first campaign. Why would
they need to go into this country so badly that they would need to change why
their going in there, and go against the united nations? Wow, they must be a
great country helping those poor people in iraq, murdering people and blowing up
buildings. Although, why "help" iraq, when they never contributed any
money to helping people in africa stop the spread of aids? The u.s. actually
refused. Now, watch this. It has nothing to do with the conversation, I just
found it amusing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHzdsFiBbFc

Well, many people in the Middle East are very dedicated
religiously to the point that during political turmoil, sectarian violence
occurs as these different religious groups strive for greater political power. I
personally would be for the more democratic-secularist group to gain power.
Quote by marfish14You know that their
happy, because youve seen the news present them as being happy and telling you
what their happy about. I believe I have seen the scene your talking about, but
you have to take into consideration, that if they werent satisfied with their
government, then what would the us be fighting in there for so many years? There
has been so much destruction to their cities and so many deaths. If they werent
satisfied, why would they not want the us's help? These are people like you and
me, they wouldnt be fighting back for no reason. If gives the impression that we
arent being told everything. It was against the united nations that the U.S. did
so and all they have done is create chaos. You obviously do not follow what goes
on in the world. I'm sure that if your cities lay in ruins, that you would be
terribly happy with the U.S.. We dont really even get enough news on the war to
really know what going on either. They'll sometimes give you a little blip of
something that makes you feel that american way crap, but still keeping you in
the dark. Besides, if they were liberating them, why would they need to change
their campaign. It used to be that they were looking for weapons of mass
destruction, but not finding any decided to change the campaign and hope for
support for their people. Since 9/11 shook everyone up pretty badly in the U.S.
many of the people had no quams and were just glad to be retaliating, to
something in the general area of the people involved. There are a few
conspiracies surrounding 9/11, but I'll not go into those. Not that I really put
too much faith in such things. Here are a couple of videos. One is just basicaly
against george bush and the war and the other talks about how he will gain
dictatorship under certain circumstances as of his order. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncBPB5odB8A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNXg6QOIsJE&mode=related&search=
the
reason we are still over there is because terrorists are killing people over
there....people in the middle east are people also.we want to end terrorism in
the most part.We would love to get out of there,but not until the job is done.

Quote by marfish14For one thing, I was
speaking about """""Evangelical
Christians""""". This is a sect of christianity, and
quite a large one at that. Here's a link to a documentary done on it. http://www.jesuscampthemovie.com/
Again, if your country was being invaded by people who wanted to overthrow your
government. Would you stand by and watch them do so? The more people stand up,
the more destruction and deaths, the more want to stand up. They used to have
order, but now it is utter chaos thanks to the U.S..
I never said that george bush was a dictator please do not misinterprate. He
infact stated on live television "You don't get everything you want. A
dictatorship would be a lot easier. So long as I'm the dictator" Of course
it would be, lol. Does this sound like a responsible government when your own
government has stated that it would rather it be a dictatorship? As I said, vote
for someone competant and someone who actually wants to give people
rights.
we
arent taking over.are you saying that the people preferred a dictator instead of
a democracy of some sort?a lot of people in the middle east are happy to see usa
support.
and if my country had a dictator and another country was helping us rebuild our
country,i would have no problem with it. thats all i will say right now.
Yes I am a Christian but also as a human, even though we may believe in the same
God, we cannot agree on a certain subject completely for there is the covenant
from God and there is also moral and ethics in this world
I wish to be happy but from what I see of the current issues and how the world
is going on, I find the definition of happiness rather vague......... not to
mention considering all the people who are suffering, it's hard to be fine and
happy just to myself
Oh and for the civilan casualty in wars, as fellow humans, I think we have a
duty to respect other human's lives whether by the moral law of this world or
from a religious point of view
But when armies go into a country and starts killing everybody assuming they are
enemies because of a minority terrorist group, I find that rather barbaric
And also for Vietnam, it wasn't exactly a terrorist group but communist
Is communism that evil to the democrats' eyes that they must wipe them out?
Why couldn't they have just let Vietnam solve the problem on their own as a
domestic affair?
Although I know as humans, we cannot fully carry out real communism because of
our greed and sin nature, personally, I think the fundamental structure of
communism is rather more commendable than democracy and capitalism

Quote by marfish14You obviously didnt
read everything I wrote. The leader of the taliban is in afghanistan. No doubt
they would want to attack after the U.S. just went in and created anarchy. The
U.S. went in and took down the government, would you sit back and let people
from Iraq come in and take out George Bush? They were defending their country
from a country that wanted to attack them for reasons unknown. They even had to
change their campaign when they didnt find weapons of mass distruction and went
against the United Nations. Its basicaly a takeover, put in a friendly
government, and take their oil. Its dispicabe. By the way, your right that most
of the people fighting in Iraq are christians, or rather Evangelical Christians.
This sect of christianity believes that muslims are, infact evil. This is
literaly what they believe. They also believe that wizards are evil, that they
can talk to god and that global warming is a sham. Apparently this type of
christian makes up 40% of your population and are apparently the the largest
portion fighting in this war. Also, you define terrorists as basicaly any muslim
who defies the U.S., did you know they had are had time defining the word to
make the U.S. sound like one? Actually, they are defined by it. Its unfortunate
but I cannot say that there is a way to back out of the massacre that youve
started. All the U.S. has done is mutilated these poor people who almost all
probably had nothing to do with 9/11. After all, the leader of the taliban isnt
there. Do you even have any details about how the war is going? If it wasnt for
a shady purpose that would get the publics attention they would air it. george
bush is an idiot, havent you seen that from his speaches? He's probably go down
in history as the stupidest voted in leader of any country. This isnt a war, its
a massacre. I wouldnt doubt that if they got the chance they would attack, after
the destruction and mutilation of their country. Hears some advice, when your
old enough to vote. Vote for someone who's actually competent and not someone
whose into being a dictator.
well,i dont know what wacky poll
you read when saying christians think muslims are evil,because in the most case
they arent....christians just believe they are slightly misguided.and i dont
have a problem with glbal warming...its still in the neutral side for me and
other christians.
and sorry to say it,but there are basically civilian deaths in every war,and i
dont know if you know this but there are stories of when soldiers spared people
and turns out that they end up killing a soldier with a bomb.Terrorists dont
have a formal army...they use guerilla warfare.there's almost no idea who the
actual enemy could be.
last but not least,you dont understand what a dictator is.If you define Bush as
a dictator,not only are you part of the far left but are uneducated about
dictators...Bush uses no force,simply uses the presidential powers he has
fairly,explaining how the war shouldn't be gave up on.Bush is indeed a
patriot.Kudos to him,and anyone else who supports our troops and the unpopular
yet correct president.

Quote by vatican92Wow you guys wrote a
lot.........
I do not have any knowledge on any other wars but I have a comment on the
Vietnamese war
I personally think it was irrational for US to go into Vietnam
Firstly, after the Japanese were driven out from Vietnam, the French invaded
Vietnam again and US did nothing to rebuke this action
But when communism began to take power in Vietnam, US decided to enter Vietnam
and kill thousands of innocent civilians and poison the crops and the water just
because of a hypothetical conjecture that communism will spread to neighboring
countries
And eventually they got nothing out of the whole war for Vietnam stayed a
communist nation after US left
War is meaningless......... only a cycle of endless murder and hatred
But ironic that people have to fight back........
Marfish: And whether it's a Christian or Muslim fighting for the war, you have
to consider the motive for each and every person and why they are fighting
Some people might fight not because of the hatred against Christians or Muslim
but for their country or just because they felt obligated to..........
Whatever the reason may be, I am against killing
I do agree that some Christians are rather disgusting
But I think majority of people are assuming that all Christians are just pious,
self-righteous saints who are actually greedy to the core
And I cannot fully defy this proclamation for it is not fully false
But people need to realize that it is an imprudent action when they catagorize
people of any belief because every individual is different
That's why there are so many religions now
Also agreed....... I thought that Bush was a terrible president and even
wondered why he was voted the second time
Mei-san: I do not really enjoy when people call me emo or goth........ but I
guess it's not surprising considering how I might look through other people's
eyes..........
Well........ war is an ethical topic that can be discussed in any perspective
whether Christians or Buddhist or whatever
And this group isn't always about Christianity is
it?
vatican,your a christian right?well you should be
happier,right?Things in life arent perfect,but they will pass.I will pray for
your happiness because you are a smart person and deserve to be happy.
Quote by kingray100if you are watching

president and the genral both say this....how are democrats and civilians really
going to protest and say we are losing?As if they were in iraq....The president
and general were both in Iraq and have seen what happens....we should trust our
leaders of america and not only support our troops but pray for
them.

Wow you guys wrote a lot.........
I do not have any knowledge on any other wars but I have a comment on the Vietnamese war
I personally think it was irrational for US to go into Vietnam
Firstly, after the Japanese were driven out from Vietnam, the French invaded Vietnam again and US did nothing to rebuke this action
But when communism began to take power in Vietnam, US decided to enter Vietnam and kill thousands of innocent civilians and poison the crops and the water just because of a hypothetical conjecture that communism will spread to neighboring countries
And eventually they got nothing out of the whole war for Vietnam stayed a communist nation after US left
War is meaningless......... only a cycle of endless murder and hatred
But ironic that people have to fight back........
Marfish: And whether it's a Christian or Muslim fighting for the war, you have to consider the motive for each and every person and why they are fighting
Some people might fight not because of the hatred against Christians or Muslim but for their country or just because they felt obligated to..........
Whatever the reason may be, I am against killing
I do agree that some Christians are rather disgusting
But I think majority of people are assuming that all Christians are just pious, self-righteous saints who are actually greedy to the core
And I cannot fully defy this proclamation for it is not fully false
But people need to realize that it is an imprudent action when they catagorize people of any belief because every individual is different
That's why there are so many religions now
Also agreed....... I thought that Bush was a terrible president and even wondered why he was voted the second time
Mei-san: I do not really enjoy when people call me emo or goth........ but I guess it's not surprising considering how I might look through other people's eyes..........
Well........ war is an ethical topic that can be discussed in any perspective whether Christians or Buddhist or whatever
And this group isn't always about Christianity is it?
i am so lost...@.@ ok so the topic i war? so how does that relate 2 christans? im so confused!
