Any one on here from the armed forces, i envy you! I wish i could serve, but medical reasons keep me out. If i would have had my way i would be in the marines right now, serving in afganistan!
I will not however say that this war was justified! President bush took us to war on a b.s. principle. He said we were going after terrorists(in afganistan, specifically bin laden) and w.m.d.! We were led from one thing to another. When we couldn't find bin laden it moved to saddam has w.m.d.'s. After that it moved to we're bringing feedom and democracy to the middle east.
How can anyone say this war is a success? We removed an oppressive leader, but the 2 principles of this war have not happened. We have not gotten bin laden and there were no w.m.d! the 2 things that lead us to war, that got bush the votes in the senate he needed to get a declaration for war were b.s.!
Sorry for the rant, but i just can't see why people still stand behind bush! I think this war was really about one thing OIL! They have it and we need it! This is my opinion. No one really knows what runs through our presidents head.(i think the wind but. . . )
HMMM on a B.S. Principle huh, could u imagine if gore or kerry got in or even if bush didnt decide to go to war, i can garentee that there would be more terroist attacks in the U.S. at least that we r showing the terrorists that we cant be pushed around and just sit there and say "oh its ok, we'll forgive you for killing thousands of citezens but just done do it again" i for one am glad that we are at war, because living in the chicago area some of us might not even be here, especially those of us living in the heart of the city.
just my opinion
