the removal of saddam has just allowed the more violent extremists to run amok in the cities. In the coming months things can only only get worse for the people and the soldiers stationed there.

The only reason of the war on terror is to make politicians like George Bush look good and of course all the military-industrial complex makes a ton of money. The average American just doesn't understand that he's far more likely to be killed in a car accident (40000 per year) or be killed by another American (20000) than to even see a terrorist.
How many people per year die from weapons of mass destruction, chemical weapons or biological weapons wielded by terrorists? Zero.
I doubt that but I would bet plenty of Iraqi's see it that way. Under a dictatorship not everyone suffers so you have this clash of people that are indeed worse-off now that it's gone.Quote:

Not to mention a lot of these war-supporters only consider the death toll, not the thousands and thousands of more people who come home with no arms, legs, or brain damage (head-trauma induced brain damage of troops is actually twice the rate of limb losses).
dude, are you sure you know what you are talking about? lolQuote:
