How about a piece on the greatest hoax of the past hundred years: The misleading of the American people into believing that there was a connection between Iraq and September 11th.

There is nothing wrong with Hollywood making money,showing the horrors of reality of wars.
When people see them,they may get a feel of what wars are all about.Check "Enemy at the Gates",
or "Stalingrad",and all the others in A.B.'s comment's link. |

My 2 cents here. I was in Iraq. I was in the military. I cant tell you if what we were doing over there meant anything to anyone back here (the US), and really didnt care much either. But as far as the reasons we went in being a hoax?? I dont see it that way at all. I may not entirely agree with why we went in, but really I am not 100% sure why we went in there. I know the pres. said one thing, but, now I know this may amaze some of you, but he may not have been telling all he knew. He probably gave the public ONE of the reasons for going in.
The point is, I was there when the war started, I was there a year later, and when I was home, was treated like I was a terrible person for it. It may have not been the whole truth, but a hoax? I sure hope not. I lost a lot of friends for a hoax dont you think?

hi aimee,
hopefully myself or my sons will never have to experience the things that you have, not only in Iraq but also on your return. just goes to show how serious this topic is i spose and I did agree with a previous post that Hoax is not exactly the correct term. Can I just ask what you think, if they weren't there to protect the free world by destroying WMD's as they very clearly claimed. why is the US/and co there and why couldn't they present a more justifiable reason. (I know there are a lot of convienient Sadam related reasons, but there are many dictators all over the world (see Africa) and nobody gives a stuff if a millions africans disapear) why do you think our gevernments are focused on this country??? |

Jamie, does everyone have to give a friggin' reason for everything they do? Maybe they're trying to be as discreet as possible about something. Personally, I'd rather have someone tell say, "Excuse me please," when they leave a room instead of, "I'm getting up to take a huge dump, I'll probably be gone a few hours!"
So, the reasons we DO have might not seem like the reasons we want them to be...but like I said, maybe the real reasons are just a little uncomfortable for some people. I dunno, I never really got into the reasons for the war.
Maybe someone will release another Skeleton Key File and in 20 years we'll understand it. |

I think if what they do costs thousands of lives, billions of dollars, is not supported by the UN and then causes yet more people to perish in terrorist attacks around the glode, you should be compelled to ask why? if you don't have the right to question the authority (or don't feel you'll get a straight answer) as to why, then you may as well be living in the old russia dude!! |

UN should decide,what is right and what is wrong on this planet.
That is the only way to go to resolve all are international problems.Democracy in it's true sense.Majority of nations against minority of nations.Isn't what democracy is all about? |

Frans S.; true democracy also entails that the majority respects a minority. |

Just because suddama bin laden. I mean Suddam hussein. Just because he said that he wasn't involved doesn't mean that he wasn't. Bin laden too. They are both liars!! And just because we haven't found any weapons of mass destruction doesn't mean that they didn't have any. Other countries could be holding it for them. you never know. All of those terrorist countries are out to get us. We are the most powerful nation in the world. I am sure that there are many other countries that are out to get us too, and we don't even know it. yet...
Go Troops!! Go Bush!! Go America!! |

Everyone,
I challenge Anyone to come and debate me about politics. |

um you do know that sadam and bin laden are traditional enemies and that the US has done bin laden a huge favour by taking sadam out?
one thing though I don't want to be seen as putting down the troops on the ground who have enlisted and are doing their job/s. but they haven't found anything that even resembles a chemical weapon. if you realy want to know what is happening on the ground there pls read Michael Yon's excelent blog at http://www.michaelyon.blogspot.com/. He's there and he'll confirm that the closest thing that any US/coalition force has found to a WMD is a factory with vats of pickles.....
I think we should all face the fact that we were misled by our government/s and move on. |

Jamie,
"um you do know that sadam and bin laden are traditional enemies and that the US has done bin laden a huge favour by taking sadam out?"
They still could have collaborated. I already knoew that they were enemies. So I have thought about the way we went into Iraq, and am seeing how we are helping Osama in his doings.
"I think we should all face the fact that we were misled by our government/s and move on"
You mean just drop the subj?
I am actually inviting people from my other forums to come and debate me over this. They brought it up. So I want to help them think about it.
Now for the weapons of Mass Destruction. Don't you think that other countries could be holding them for Iraq. Don't you think that it is possible that they had the intentions of getting WMD. I am glad we went into Iraq. They are a world threat just like al queda. We are shutting down a crooked gov. Which of course is Communism.
I don't I am pretty tired, So I don't think I am making sense Right now. |

Jamie,
It could be anything from a nuclear Bomb to anything that can destroy any thing in it's path. Which is like the nuclear bomb. But anything that can destroy and devastate a large amount of area, or people.
I don't know that is my guess.
But it could also be something of Saran Gas bomb( if that exists?), and that could devastate a lot of humans beings.
I have considered many contenders for holding the weapons.
France, Egypt, Pakistan, North Korea, Perhaps Iran, even though Iraq and Iran are condiderd enemies. At least that's what I have heard. But the reason why Iran wanted to start a Nuclear program could be because they were holding it for Iraq, and thought that if WE saw that they(Iran) had WMD, we would wonder how that happened without them having a nuclear program.
But who knows who could have sold it to them. Perhaps the contenders that I mentioned above.
But there could be many other countries that are holding it for them. Countries that we wouldn't fathom of doing something like that.
I get a lot of questions as to why we have the right to have nuclear weapons and some other countries can't. And it's simple. Some other countries such as Iraq, aren't stable. They are unpredictable. We look at their leaders. At their life styles. And it's is easy to decide which country should have Nuclear Weapons.
(too bad they exist though) I mean when we see two diff 15 year olds with let's say a sparkler on the Fourth of july. One of them is holding it and waving it in celebration, and the other is poking people with it. or threatening people with it. We know who to take it from, and can decide before hand that they are not to be trusted with those sparklers. If we know that the 15 yr old is already unstable then we know not to give it to them in the first place.
I mean we are not going to the UK and taking them. Because they are not unstable.
(I know you didn't bring it up, But I wanted to.)
I just get asked that a lot.
But in my opinion I don't think anyone should have them. |
