    While its true that results in Iraq are not as US and allies had expected, and it is becoming tiresome and costly. But it is also true that terrorist there and everywhere sustained heavy damage because of these drives.

    Yes, I'm from Finland and I'm not a pro-American to be honest. There are many things I don't like about American government. I agree that Bush could sort out all American problems first, cos there are quite a few. Just think about all illegal immigrants.... but he seems to close his eyes to that fact. On the other hand he (or his troops) killed many bastards that were involved in terrorist organizations, that was a good thing in my opinion.

    I hate terrorists with all my heart! The more terrorists get killed the more people have a life. :)

    I do agree whole-heartedly, but with so little planning, you end up with a mess like Iraq is today. The US could have spent some of the trillion plus dollars they've spend on the war beefing up their own security and dealing with the terrorists directly (i.e. launching a 'war on terror' to actually fight terror as opposed to killing hundreds of thousands of civilians and managing to bag a few thousand insurgents in the process. This is a guerrilla war and it cannot be fought the way Americans fight.

    Spending so much money and something priceless like people's lives was definitely not worth it. But nothing can be undone now... at least they killed some terrorists. I just get so mad at people saying 9/11 was nothing, Americans are rich and it serves them right! :mad:

    Very true but they would have suffered more damage if they had to attempted to keep the war within the U.S. They never would have survived a prolonged war if it was outside the middle east. A most possible reason why Bin Laden attacked the U.S, knowing they would invade which in turn breeds more hatred towards the Western world.

    In the face of so many dead I think it's very selfish to take solace in any deaths. One terrorist for a thousand civilians is not a fair exchange.

    It's ironic, But do you realize more innocent people would have been save if we had just let these 'terrorist' let off some bombs and kill them selves in the process.

    The war in Iraq has done nothing but blow up peoples houses and kill children.
    Of course if you carpet bomb a city you are bound to kill some terrorists, But what is an acceptable cost of innocent human life to get these terrorists?

    The whole thing is a big mess and it was started with some big lies.
    I don't think any reasonable human can now say this war has done good.

    Nobody said it was "nothing", So stop lying. People said Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, And that is a fact. It's just a shame that even now, In the face of evidence, you seem to be still in the mind set that they were in some way connected. You must watch a lot of TV.

    And let's not forget that american label anyone who shoots back at them a "terrorist", So expect to hear a few more stories about "terrorists" being killed in Iraq. It's hardly surprising that when you invade a country which has an elected leader, Overthrow the government and Put in place your own government there are going to be a few people who want to kill you. It's called a war. It's why the americans took tanks and guns with them.

    The problem with that was Terrorists had their roots in Afghanistan and middle east.
    American attacks somehow destroyed their roots. They are scattered now.
    Yes there are still terrorists out there but not as powerful as they were before.

    The only thing thats wrong is non-stop killings of civilians this war has caused..

    I put "terrorist" in quotation marks because i don't believe we are fighting "terrorists" in Iraq. We are fighting people who think that having their country invaded, Their children raped and murdered and their homes bombed is unacceptable, So they pick up guns and shoot at the people killing their families.

    Here's some advice. If you go strutting around someone else's country with a gun in your hand, You better expect to get shot at.

    GTech was often loud and obnoxious, But the only "right" thing about that guy was his political leanings.

    This is a false premise. I corrected this a few days ago for you. That you continue to use it, in light of that, displays a level of dishonesty and that only the message matters.

    This is an unsubstantiated opinion and quite false.

    This is an unfounded opinion based upon assumption. There is actually a site that keeps track of this number and it's well over a quarter million that have been saved. No thanks to the people in Iraq that you've expressed support for in the past and who are doing the daily killing over there.

    Actually, "terrorists in Iraq" have done nothing but blow up peoples house and kill children.

    Unsubstantiated claim and assumption. If Bush lied, democrats from the 90s lied long before Bush was ever in office, as did many world leaders.

    Will you be taking your own advice?

    They are terrorists. Just because you support them, doesn't make them any less a terrorist. They intentionally seek to cause as much civilian casualties, especially children, as possible, so people like you will take their credit away and give it to others.

    You've yet to counter anything effectively against me. I've countered virtually every lie (that I've had time to catch) that you've presented. Your anti-Americanism blinds you, but then you are just a Canadian.

    This is a sweet notion on behalf of those terrorists, but it's merely an opinion. In fact, you've been shown stories such as al qaida using children as suicide bombers and actually admitted you supported them. So your opinion has no value here.

    Let's hope al qaida has learned that valuable lesson.

    Most people that openly support terrorists and hate America tend to disagree with me. I find it personally rewarding ;)
