There are several accusations and untrue reasons about this war flying all over the place.  I am a proud American, and I fully support this was.  Please, before responding with insulting and idiotic replies, read the whole message.

Anyone who says that the U.S. is in Iraq for oil is correct and educated.
Anyone who says that the sole purpose the U.S. is in Iraq is oil, and that we're going to take over the oil, is uncorrect, ignorant, and not very bright.

Yes, a main reason the United States is warring with Iraq is because of oil.  However, it is NOT the only reason, and NOT the most important reason.

We are in Iraq to do 3 important things, and will do them in this order:

1) Remove the current evil regime of Sadaam Hussein.  He cares nothing for his people, and spends all the country's money on himself.  The "government" of Iraq is corrupt and evil...end of story.

2) Replace the old government with a new and better government.  Yes, it will most likely be a Democracy (But if the Iraqi's choose to go Communist or something other than Democracy, we won't stop them).  Yes, we are going to put our own people in the government.  Not to rule them, but because the U.S. knows its doing, and because we're educated enough to help them.

3) Once the new government is set up and in power, we go for the oil.  We will NOT take over Iraq's oil and keep it for ourselves.  What we will do is buy the oil, and let the new govt. sell oil to whoever it wants.  Now, Iraq's main export(or only for that matter) is oil.  Other countries buying this oil is Iraq's main, or only, means of economy.  Basically, for the ignorant and dumb, its how Iraq makes all it's money.

Currently, the evil regime of Sadaam Hussein keeps all that money for itself, and uses it MAINLY on itself.

Now, lets put two and two together, and use that thing MOST of us have called logic.

If the current government keeps all the oil money for itself, and we take that govt. out and put in a fresh new one for the Iraqi people, then all the oil money will go to...THE IRAQI PEOPLE!  This isn't rocket science people.

When we put in that new government ruled by the people, for the people, then start buying Iraq's oil, slowly but surely...we are making that Iraq and that new government more and more wealthy.  We are turning a poor and corrupt country, into a wealthy and educated country.  THIS IS HOW WE ARE HELPING THE IRAQI'S!

Some people would say that by going to war and killing people in order for the U.S. to help this desperate nation is the wrong course of action...and that diplomacy is the answer.

What they don't realize is that in this situation, diplomacy CANNOT and WILL NOT work.  Yes, in other situations, diplomacy has worked.  This is not one of those situations.  Sadaam Hussein has had 12 years to comply with the UN, and he blatantly refused.  If he has resisted and refused for 12 years...then what the fuck is a few more monthes going to do?  NOTHING!  The only thing it WILL do is make Sadaam that much more powerful.

So, the U.S. stepped up and said that force was the only way.  Since the nations of the Security Council don't want to spend money on a war, they disagreed, and unanimously defeated the U.S.'s vote.  However, because the U.S. knows what will happen if nothing is done, we invaded Iraq.  That brings us to our current situation.

Those 3 reasons are why we are in Iraq.  I know that after reading this article, theres going to be a bunch of people(Maestro, Agua, 7even, Tech, and Kaidy) that will jump all over this, disagree, point out how they're right and I'm wrong, and make insulting comments.  I care not.  This is the truth...and the truth hurts.

However, because the U.S. knows whats best and knows whats right
 

I really can't be arsed to respond to this post but thanks for putting that in there, i haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

One ignorant and idiotic reply...MANY MORE TO COME!

how is it ignorant, you provided me with some joy for a few short minutes. You should feel proud.

Two moronic responses in a row...you should get a medal!

PS: Stop posting your pointless messages in my post...they're disgraceful.

However, because the U.S. knows whats best and knows whats right

I hope this was a joke, too.

is this text written by you?

lol im gon post much about it soon

Yes, this was written by me.

I don't intent to watch my back from you, 7even.  All you do is bash Bush...

And to all the people who will, already have, say that line is a joke...give me a few good reasons why its a joke.

"However, because the U.S. knows whats best and knows whats right"



LMAO ... no disrespect Xearo... but have you been drinking??

No, I haven't been drinking, LOL.

PS: I knew that everyone would jump on that line.  Like I said before...PROVE me wrong.

Fine...let me rephrase that...

Instead of "because the U.S. knows whats best and knows whats right", how about:

"because the U.S. knows what will happen if nothing is done".

Now...PICK ON THAT LINE YOU BASTARDS!  LOL

What interests me most here is that Xearo posted a thoughtul post, not insulting anyone here, and was immediately attacked by a whole clip of homos.

disregard the above statement then, didn't see that you'd changed it.
