Post your opinion her about the ongoing war in Iraq. And remember folks, everybody is entitled to an opinion so don't flame eachother for having opposite thoughts.

Constructive debating can be a nice way to overcome differences and not just widen the gap.

Amen Charlie!! Noone knows but those, like yourself, who are actually THERE hearing what the Iraq citizens are saying, etc. I also agree that the news doesnt tell you EVERYTHING, and does blow things out of proportion.

Thank you for saying what you did! You are over there....and you, along with the rest of you, are the ONLY ones who TRULY know what is going on, and what is being said! :) HUGS and God Bless! You ARE making a difference ;)

Right, Charlie. Good news doesn't sell as well as bad news. Does that imply we have to ignore all coverage that sounds somewhat negative?

You also bring up the point that Iraqi citizens were cheering with the liberators. True. We could see that on the news coverage too. I'm sure they were full of hope after they got rid of their tyrant. How they look upon their future now is somewhat uncertain. Perhaps you could fill us in on that.

Why did the Alliance pick on Iraq? You start with the one that hates you... Interesting. I'm sure we'd be surprised to find out how many countries despise western imperialism.

And yes, Reese, the news doesn't always tell everything. But sometimes it tells things the way they are, whether you like it or not.

How do you tell when something is blown out of proportion or is the straight truth when you're not there to see it yourself? Like it or not, people are going to form their own opinions on it. They will believe what they want to believe or is in their hearts to believe. That is their right as individuals. This does not necessarily mean they are right or that they are wrong. It's an opinion.

I will admit to having had severe reservations about the wisdom of posting this thread (no offense meant, Badass) due to the sensitivity of the subject and the very adamant and divided opinions on it. So far, while there have been some very emphatically voiced opinions, none of them have targeted an individual for voicing an opinion that differed from theirs. I am proud to be a member of a community that is able to discuss such a sensitive subject in an intelligent and thought provoking manner. I truly hope that this thread continues in such a vein.

Amarantha thats a great question and they do still have a bright outlook on thier future but they are scared. Not of us or anyother country here for thier liberation but of the terrorists the ones that live among them and threaten them and thier families. What were trying to do here is spread the hope that if you do stand up for what you believe in it will be harder for someone to opress you. Remember hope always finds a way and the just will always prevail maybe not right away or in the near future but there will be a time when the Iraqi citizens wont have to be scared anymore. But the conditions have changed here and things are getting better day by day for the people of Iraq and I believe it will spread like a wild fire here and maybe even in the rest of the world. So just remeber to keep not only the troops in your prayers but also this new fledgling democracy.
