rather it would be known as a brave attempt by a powerful nation to put a democratically elected government in a war torn third world nation which has nothing to boast except oil and terrorist hideouts.
If this odjective requires sacrifices,we will make it. Infact we have already sacrificed our brave soldiers for this cause. Haven't we? History is not written by the loosers. I'am sure you know this.And if someone is trying to convince that all those lives of our men was lost and it was a mistake - I'am not gonna accept that.

Good for you..Its good to see some one who's not affraid of the liberal machine who has taken over the world the last few years.
LightWorker13-I'm really tire of this crap about everybody being obese.
I'm 6'5", 275 pounds. I'm in good shape, I jog, lift weights. My body will never look like a body builder or anything. But I'm solid, and not fat. But I would have to drop 50 pounds to not be considered obese by the government standards. Sure I know I see fat kids, people all the time. But its not the norm, so quit with the we are sick of being call obese because we aren't all string bean like you and your stickly friends.
Just so you know 80% of the NFL is considered obese by government standards. Only WR, and DB make the cut by government standards.

Funny very funny...
Hey dude, I didnt say everyone was obese, 34% of you are, thats the numbers okay. 63% of you overweight, thats the numbers, dont get mad at me for your countries indulgences. While your throwing away food everyday at your supermarkets cuz nobody bought them, there are billions of people out there who are going to bed hungry, I mean seriously, you people are like spoiled children..
Your in good shape, good for you, so am I. Your an ideal weight for your 6'5 frame...but not when your 5'6...there are specific guidelines based on age, height, heredity etc that lay the foundations of what is your ideal weight, and what is considered overweight. We can both agree, a 5'6'', 220 pound woman is overweight. Statistics, its not opinion, its statistics.
And my main was that theres a reason theres rapid weight problems in America, in case you havent noticed, to deny that is to edit out reality. Im not gonna even get into it, those are the numbers, dont like it, tough luck big boy..
The Unites States actually gives the least amount of money per capita, to foreign aid, out of all the countries in all the world. So for you people who say, well America is great, we give so much aid to foreign countries. Hello! Mexico gives more percentage of its wealth to stop hunger than you do!! God, you people, you just cant see reality can ya.
Put, yes, Im sorry, Im wrong. America is great, America is epitome of perfection, land of the free, home of tha brave, and all that crap. Im gonna go wave my flag made by slaves in China, as my government outsources my jobs to them, and Im gonna slap my bumper sticker saying 'I support the troops" by leaving them in Iraq to die and get sick from Depleted Uranium, without a plan, or timetable, or anything, Im gonna just shut up and go along with the destruction of my country, yes, cuz I love my country, so Im gonna do nothing as it bleeds to death....you people make me sick.
If you really love your country, youll try to save it, because America is literally thisclose to being completely overrun by these globalist foreign interest, who dont have any alliegance to any country theyre globalists, and who only see America as a spoke on their wheel of fortune, to be used and abused as neccesary. Wake up.

They all think a hug and a cup of coffee will solve all the worlds problems, unfortunatly it doesnt work that way.
Its ugly and death is envolved, but that is what we fight for... so dumb asses can say stuff like "He just needs a hug/talk is the answer"
To many here have had no contact/involvement in the war! They are the first to spout off on how we are doing it wrong/shoudnt be their!!
You all should talk to a soldier(not one that signed up only for the free college)! I know 3 personally, and have heard stories fron 10-15 others, They are glad we are their!!
no more sadam, democracy a chance...but all you here is the liberal spin from out of place iranians who curse the US to no end!!

Your posts - and indeed your name if taken in the 20th Century context (although the other context for Aryan is to do with Indo-Iranian culture) - seem to be trying to set you aside from the rest of the world as if you are special. Its like you believe you have all the answers and no one else could possibly be right, which is kind of disturbing really, because the US only represents a fraction of the worlds population.
Tell me, how do you "put" a "democratically elected government" into power?
By "putting" it there democracy is kind of thrown out of the window in the true sense of the word.
Your country is sinking around you, can you not see that, even the so called liberal media can see it. All your corporations have ruined everything and now theyre abandoing ship, theyre all packing up and moving, cuz they know youre about to fall, why do you think China is building up?

1. Enter the country run by a dictator.

No I don't think so. Democracy by definition is ' by the people' 'of the people' and 'for the people'. You cannot go into peoples' mind and dictate which party to vote to power. If you install democracy that's the end of dictatorship.
Leave people alone and let them sort it out for themselves

You cannot let a bunch of religious fanatics to take to street and 'sort' out things for themselves. You will end up with another Congo in the process.
The only way to prevent mass killings of,be it ,Shias or Sunnis in Iraq is to act as a buffer for them to run out of their ammunition. If we leave them now you will end up seeing a bigger mess.
And no, we didn't fail at Step 1. We are already there and we have proved a point or two.
No one is asking for installing a puppet government in Iraq. The country has to go through the pains to give birth to a stable democratic government and this cannot happen unless we support the peopleof Iraq.
