I.m so sorry you have your frind personallyu involved in Iraqi War (Bush War) but what is for you ‘a very appreciative service to a foreign country ‘, in my opinion is an invasion without any excuses,

OMG, your opinion is very important and I appreciate you sharing it with all of our readers and staff. You have a very valid point and many in Iraq have the same feelings and opinions. We must be sensitive to the native Iraqi’s desires and needs, but we must also complete the mission their governemnt has approved. I believe our soldeirs perform a very delicate task with a great amount of proficiency and consideration. Once this mission is completed I am sure all involved parties will be happy to have their lives returned back to normalcy. I hope more individuals such as yourself speak up and make their voces heard because regardless of whether someone agrees with you or not, your opinion and your vote is what counts and I appreciate an individual like yourself inovling themself in an issue they feel passisonately about.

That is a very interesting story, thanks for enlightening me. I bet most do not consider the day to day life of these soldiers. We all need to be involved.

I think my point of view is shared not just Iraqi people but from a large number of individuals in the world and this number is growing up day by day. Anyway, I can understand that maybe it can seem disrespectful for those people involved directly in the war.
I do not know how Americans can still follow Bush in a clearly invasion oil based. If Bush wants to help people oppressed from dictators why doesn’t go in Africa where there are plenty of them.
I have to clarify that I’m not American and then, maybe, I can’t underestand properly but in my opinion this system is completely wrong and doesn’t work. Honestly, i do not see any realson to have American Bases in my country and I do not understand this craving to be powerful and do things just for money. Americans should think about election system where multinational pay for electoral campaign and then they want something back. The country belong to the mass and it shouldn’t be drive from the interests of a small number of rich people.
On top of that, i don’t know if you have noticed that USA is becoming a bad example of style of life and if your country continue in this way, don’t be surprise if the hate for Americans grow up.

OMG, your opinion on this matter is greatly appreciated. You state that you think your point of view is shared not just by Iraqi people but from a large number of individuals in the world and this number is growing up day by day. I agree with you, there are many in and around the world who are at odds with the situation that American troops are still in Iraq. Your appreciation for those involved in the war shows you have a level head in discussing this issue and I feel that is very important, many individuals allow their personal feelings of ethnocentrism to creep in and destroy what might be a good argument for their position. Many also share your opinion in questioning how Americans can still follow Bush in what is considered a clear invasion that was oil based. However, if you have been in America the past 6 months or so, you know, we are not getting cheap oil from anywhere in regards to the Iraq war. You go on to say that if Bush wants to help people oppressed from dictators why doesn’t he go into Africa where there are plenty of them? That is a good question; I wonder myself why the issue in Darfur and Somalia do not receive more attention.
You advise that you want to clarify that you’re not an American and, maybe, you can’t understand properly, but in your opinion this system is completely wrong and doesn’t work. Honestly, you do not see any real reason to have American Bases in your country and you do not understand this craving to be powerful and do things just for money. I can understand your frustration and many like you on both sides of this issue would like answers to these types of questions. You conclude by stating that on top of that, you don’t know if we have noticed that USA is becoming a bad example of style of life and if our country continues in this way, don’t be surprise if the hate for Americans grows up. Hate for all Americans is a strong statement, I could understand their hatred for the situation but I would hope they would not grow to hate all Americans. I would also hope that something good comes from this whole situation. However, the longer it seems to go, the worse it appears the opinions on the merits of this policy are becoming. One issue I hope the world clearly understands is that we here in America unquestionably support our troops, there may be varying opinions on the length, and justification, for this war, but support for our soldiers is unwavering.
I appreciate your open and candid remarks on this subject.

Right you are, we support ourtroops 100%. I agree with your statement that this should be a very personel discussion, there are human lives involved.

Ariel:

While I don’t think many Americans do not support our troops 100%, it is the administration and their policies that Americans do not support.

~ Jason

It’s normal support soldiers because their are first humans. I agree with Jason. The problem is the administration that instead working to sort out people’s problem, is there just to serve lobbies interests. Of course, this happen not just in USA but all around the world.
People have differents ideas and all of them should be respected as Raymond has dimostrated so far appreciating my intervent.
Mine, is just a comment of a person that is frustrated and disillusioned from a world that is going worse day by day.

Anyway, thanks for the space on this blog and sorry for mistakes (my english is not so good).

Your patronage is always greatly appreciated OMG, you know that I enjoy your thoughts and ideas. I agree with you,and Jason, the administration needs to get their work done and their strategy in order, sometimes it appears that we are scrambling and improvising as we go. I hear stories about turmoil in the Iraqi goevernment, human rights issues now being perpetrated on the minority Sunni’s by the Shia’s, and talk of Iraqi Army attrocities. I think Bush needs to set out a game plan, follow it, and end this.
