    Is that the only thing you see from this war? Imposing our will on others. What about the mass genocide abount Iraqs' from suddam, what about the mustard gas that he used on his own people, what about the thousands he killed for his own reasons, such as someone not agreeing with him.

    I think it's a little closed minded to think thats all we're here for.
    If our country was brutaly genociding out people and kill them for their opinions i would want someone to help.

    Have you talked with Iraqi' citizens, have you talked to mass group of there people.
    The media wont tell you what they tell soldiers.......
    They are glad for our efforts in part, they are glad for the regim change.....but i guess the media wont tell you that.

    My Name is David Scott. I live in the Midwest.. Before the war began I wrote my congressman representatives, and the president urging them that a war with Iraq was not a good move on our part, and that I did not support it. I viewed this action from different objective points, and while some shared my conclusion , some did not, and I think like many that we were decieved into the action that was taken. As I recall the reply letters had much to do with wepons of mass destruction, and other smokescreen issues. Looking at what it has evolved into 6 years later. Imposing our will on another soverign country was clearly the soup de' jour.
