It was *made* into a threat by our government. It was a manufactured enemy (like the terrorists). Anybody that thinks communists are any worse than our government is brainwashed, simple as that. We are worse than most.

You need to support the troops, but I think anybody that supports this actual war is an idiot. Simply put, the war in Iraq has nothing to do with anybody's freedom. It has to do with taking over the country to spread "democracy," and to expand the US's sphere of influence. It's imperialistic, and materialistic. The imperialistic part comes into play with the concept that we just took over two countries, to expand "our" influence. The materialistic part of it comes into play when we use the country for its natural resources. The main one being oil. I've had some people say that it isn't true that we're there for the oil. How idiotic does someone have to be to not be able to see that there is a lot of oil there, and that we obviously want it? Come on now. There's nothing good for We The People in this war. The only people who benefit are the upper-most levels of the government, and the ruling elite. Anybody who can't see this is an idiot, and yes, I do mean that. People need to stop being idiots. If you agree with the war, tell me... how have you benefited from it?
