Like the majority (read: most) of American citizens, we did not want our government (read: not the citizens) occupying another country. Proxy hate speech gtfo. i also agree to the sentiment, remember that one of the key reasons obama is in office was because he "promised"(tm) to pull our troops out of a war we never even wanted americans were for revenge, and killing terrorists. not forcing our agenda and ideals on other countries one of the greatest crimes you can do in a free society imo is to force something down someone's throat | ||

Weapon industry had been keeping the economy alive for the past few years. Actually, the United States gets roughly 50% of it's oil from north america, and another 25-30% from south america and central america. So, your oil comment is not only invalid but extremely ignorant | ||

We won't know for a few more decades at least until historians are able to look back and see everything in the bigger picture and link all the events up. I'd say we've gained a lot but also lost a lot as well. Only time will tell. Here's a good report on it all: http://www.amacad.org/publications/monographs/War_with_Iraq.pdf | ||

To me seems like cutting losses in iraq and still focusing on Afghanistan the one close to iran. ofc i could have that backwards imma go check... | ||

I meant it was better in Iraq compared to some years ago in Iraq (concerning what was in the media since I'm not that informed about the Iraq-war) | ||

My point of afgan being close with iran/Pakistan is simply because it's the buffer zone they use for attacks on india. My point on Afghanistan probably should be reworded that iran has more influence there then in iraq closer in that sense, i suppose i should be more literal XD | ||
