Plain and simple....we want oil... we sold them the wepons now we want to take them away along with conrol of thier governement. we already have LONG TERM plans ready for Iraq....The govt. admits that. Why should the US be making LONG TERM Plans for a country.... last I checked thats called an invasion and a take over, Not a liberation. Honestly... I hope I'm wrong.
Liberation is not the goal, from what I can gather. Hell, America is the reason the Iraq people are starving and desperate. Foreign policy has been handled like crap. It could be better, this is true, but hindsight is always 20/20. I do not agree with an assault on Iraq but I will not fight my own people if it comes down to it.

Whatever the reasons for this war may be, I just pray that our boys are unscathed and I will not be the one to say they were wrong.
