UNLIKE EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE HISTORY OF EVERY SINGLE WAR EVER, the United States does not take over the land that it conquers. If we did so, we would own over half of the planet. Heck, after we complete a "war" in another country not only do we not only NOT take them over, but we spend BILLIONS of dollars rebuilding their countries and making them better places to live.
Heck, take the Panama Canal for instance.
(I love this debate btw, it's highly intellectually stimulating)
If it was about what you say, the planet you live on would be named AMERICA. It is not, and when we are finished in Iraq, we will leave, and they will be an independently operating nation, where the people are free of fear, and governmental moderation and restriction.
Why can't you see that this is for good? Is it impossible that this is the case?
you're not watching Iraqi or Arab state run television by any chance are you?
