Nearly Half of Americans Support Air Strikes In Iraq.

Mentioned on the O'Reilly Factor.

Assuming if true, then what happened to Americans supposed "war weariness".

Against ISIS targets in Iraq of course.

"Nearly half" is not "most". I personally regard that as encouraging.

 

Which of the two hales is better? May be we should harden our hearts and let their religious war go? Saddam did his job well, these savage religious fanatics need a dictator to keep them at peace.

 

If you want to know about war weariness, ask those same people how many would support reinserting large number of ground troops into Iraq. Until then, I bet you could make up a country, call it Middle Eastern Like the Arab Republic of Smevenstan, and at least 1/3 of Americans would support air strikes against it.

 

America do not understand Arabs.. I do.
As Pronin24 said - "these savage religious fanatics need a dictator to keep them at peace". 100% true.
Arabs can't handle democracy.. all they handle is Jihad and violence.

 

I heard a piece on NPR today about the ISIS occupation. They brag about widespread executions. Women are required to remain indoors. Their brand of sharia is so strict that the Taliban withdraws from them.
I hear this, but I don't believe that it's any business of the US to try to change them. Our meddling for over a decade only made things worse, and during that time, we've had a huge muslim infiltration of the West.
To me, this implies that the only sensible "solution" would be utter and complete elimination. Maybe we will eventually be forced to that....

 

Do any of you really think that ISIS will just "stop" once they have control of Iraq?

Kind of like Al Qaeda decided to leave the United States alone after they had a safe haven in Afghanistan......

 

You're talking about mindless over-medicated 'tardz who voted for B00B Bush TWICE and Obama B. 1 Soetoro TWICE. What is your point ?

 

Will that be the left's justification for the final subjugation of America? "Those people" needed their teeth pulled out for smiling at the girlfriends of Saddam's sons. "Those people" deserved mass executions and unmarked graves in the desert. "Those people" deserved to be gassed by their own tyrant. "Those people" in Cambodia deserved the Killing Fields. "Those people" in the USSR deserved the Gulag. "Those people" in California deserve what they're getting. Maybe we deserve Barack Obama.

 

Barack Hussain Obama is partly Arab.. it's funny how he cannot understand his fellow Muslim Arab's agenda..
He should leave the Arab world alone to kill one each others.. they are good at that !!

 

That's one of the other questions but you need to subscribe (and I think pay) to see the results.

I wouldn't doubt it. These questions seem to be a little led too, referring to "al Qaeda led insurgents" in Iraq which is a little off.

 

The majority of Americans supported the war against Iraq, myself included, time and knowledge have a way of changing opinions.

Nobody ever asked Arabs, for the most part, if they wanted 'democracy'. On the contrary it was foisted on them as in Iraq. Let me ask you this; how many wars-including the last two global conflicts-have been instigated by Arabs? Seems to me your agenda conveniently omits that we 'democratic' whites have been fighting among ourselves far more, and with far greater needless loss of life for centuries. How has our handling of 'democracy' prevented us from going to war against our fellow white Christians?

 

Iraq-Iran, Iraq-Kuwait, 1973 war, etc.

Sorry but no the largest genocides up to an including Stalin were perpetrated on the Indian subcontinent by Arab invaders. Only Mao has more.

 

Nearly half of all Americans would support air strikes anywhere -- so long as they get to watch the bombs exploding on the nightly news.

 

Obama is ZERO part "Arab". Get your facts straight.

 

Our first attempt at Iraqi nation building cost us nearly 40K dead and wounded Americans and nearly $2T and those of us on the left said, from the very beginning, that it would only be a matter of a few years after our troops left and sunnis and shiites would be slaughtering one another all over again.

Shame on us if we make the same mistake TWICE.

 

And you think America had no part in wanting Saddam fighting what was seen by the USA as Islamic fundamentalism? On the contrary he received a great deal of support. That, too, was an American proxy war.

Russia is on the Indian sub-continent? "...up to and including Stalin..." And I didn't mention genocides, I mentioned wars among nations.

...and somewhere far, far away.

 

This may be the time to institute subscription war. Let everyone who wants to bomb Iraq send in a check for a thousand dollars or more to buy a share in the war. We could set up a cable channel only for war subscribers so they could watch the bombing. And of course if the war made a profit they would get a share based on how much they contributed. If the war went over budget of course they would have to assume financial liability.

 

This mess is not ours....and there is no immediate or even near future solution. This entire region of the world must be allowed to either destroy itself or grow up into an adult, and we are not the parents. Some call this Isolationism....I call it wisdom.

I am part German, does this make me a Nazi?

 

You are right to imply that Saddam kept the lid on the regional sectarian pressure cooker that was removed as a result of the U.S led invasion and occupation.

 

I beg you a pardon but whose mess it is then?

Of course it is history and all the actions were determined by prehistoric times, so actually anyone can tell that everything is Satan's fault and not his. But still you watch a group of militants who took american weapons from the abandoned military bases, a group which grew harder fighting against the enemy of your government, a group that received every kind of help including information and diplomatic help, a group that was being grown for years since fighting against USSR... And now you kinda tell that life is too hard to clean up after yourself and it is actually a problem of a country that has already lost a strong and cruel dictator who took the situation under his despotic control, a country that was offered any help in its democratic development but no chance in actual construction of this democracy?

I call it terrorism. State terrorism. Which represents an attempt to break something of value in order to terrorize or to provoke a bloodshed because of it. Big boys don't do that. Big boys learn to wipe their sh//t off their as$es and not stink around with a 'manly' smell. Once US invaded Iraq and broke the balance in a complicated region it cannot just back off. You need to support people who are being slaughtered for the moment. It is your reponsibility and noone elses. Otherwise you should confess on a political level that it was your national plan from the very beginning. And once you invaded Iraq - you already had a plan to make up a state of a puppet who grew up into a dog that bites. It is either or and no other alternative! Isolationism is good only when you NEVER get off your territory. Once you have called yourself a world's only superpower you cannot deal with the problems only in case it is profitable or pleasant. US did a lot of mistakes in the oil regions. A lot. They need to be corrected. It will take a lot of efforts and time with only one positive result - an experience not to make these mistakes again.
