Why do people support the Iraq war ?

The main rationale for the war which is Weapons of Mass Destruction is defeated and the second (fallback) reason of possible Iraq-Al-Qaeda Links could not be proved either. The war based on wrong premises cannot be justified.

Isn’t it absurd to support a war which is fundamentally wrong to begin with irrespective of whether US is winning or not ? Why are people Still supporting a Wrong war ? - Pls do explain the rationale.

Since 9/11, we’ve engaged in two wars. I just want to know your opinion on the War on Terror and the War in Iraq so I can broaden my understanding of the two. Please provide some backup to your opinion.
I think I should reword this. What’s your opinion on Iraq. Do you think its worth it or not? As for the War on Terror, a good point has been made. What happened to it?

The Iraq War will end up just like the Vietnam War. Although many people refuse to accept that it will be another Vietnam (by stating that American casualties is not as heavy as in the Vietnam War), but all the other ingredients that will make it another Vietnam are there. Primarily, the majority of the American people does not support the war. President Bush’s approval rating is at its lowest, 28% (mainly because the majority disagree of the way he managed the war). Many Republicans distanced themselves away from Bush’s policies. Militarily, there are no set goals or objectives to achieve. Simply put, the words surge or stay the course would not achieve anything because there isn’t any clearly defined set of objectives to pursue. Even the claims of winning or losing the war became already so obscured, because there are no metrics or yardstick to correlate them to. It appears that the American troops are only baby-sitting an Iraqi civil war, something that they really cannot do anything about (for they cannot take sides to favor either the Sunnis or the Shias). Since the war’s beginning, all the top military commanders already made it clear that military action alone wouldn’t win the war. The overall strategy should also include political solutions, economic solutions, socio-religious solutions, and diplomatic dialogues with Iraq’s neighbors. Now, it’s already the 4th year of the war and only the military solution has been pursued all along (and the U.S. is not even winning convincingly in this aspect alone). All the other solutions were completely ignored.

So yes, the Iraq War have a lot of parallels with the Vietnam War. It’s only a matter of time before the policy-makers in Washington realizes this.

Ive seen pictures of bush or U.S. secretary of defense talking to the prime minister of iraq.. but how can we do that and act like nothings going on when in fact both of us are fighting?

Are we not in war in Iraq but we’re at war with something from Iraq? I’m confused!

THE PATRIOT asked:


Are All Politicians afraid to lose money once the war in Iraq is over? How much money they are putting in their pockets? is it money more important for the Politicians than we the people and the nation? Why they dont care and why they are always against the will of our people and our nation?

jjttkbford asked:


a war protest does not mean we don’t respect the efforts of our armed forces in Iraq, but respect for their incredible efforts and an acknowledgement of their value and need for more legitimate use - such as in Afghanistan!

Who would step up and make it known that the war in Iraq is not a policy the new administration should follow? The candidates need to know how we stand - they sure aren’t looking at the polls - and the American public is just standing by and letting this travesty happen.

Viking Raider asked:


I don’t understand this rhetoric. I’ve heard of the flypaper strategy, but all it appears to have done is recruit more terrorists for the specific task of blowing up civilian iraqis and infrastructure to drum the US out of the country so that their masters can excert their own influence. So how does a war in Iraq keep Americans free, and would you be any less free if the invasion had never happened?
