Are you saying that the al qaeda is not eminent in Iraq?
I'm sorry, but I think the top few richest percentages need it. They're paying way too much in taxes. If it was the same, or close to the same percentage, they would still be paying more money than the lower-class people, but it would be putting the same dent in them as it would be in the lower class people. That's a whole other argument in it's own though .
I don't believe that the Iraqi's could have done it on their own, even with some weapon support from us.
And as far as Bin-laden goes, I still believe that we're not holding back. I believe that we are doing what we can to catch him, it just hasn't happened yet.
By the way, I live around 67th Ave. and Happy valley road (moved there about a year ago). I don't think you'll be a murderer who will hunt me down with those details How old are you? Did you go to Greenway High School?

Well, the reason that we didn't use air support is because that wouldn't solve it. It wasn't the type of war where you could just bomb stuff. We had to be tactical, AND there was great resistance. Those two don't go together very well. We also had to find Saddam. That would VERY difficult to do without our troops in there.
Anyway, I still go to Greenway...in my senior year.

Yeah, delesanti's still there, but we got a new principal. She's this crazy nazi lady. Mrs. Tataseo or something. There are these stupid new rules flying around...next year they're gonna close the campus. Right now, they have this SWEEPS program. As soon as the bell rings, all the teachers lock their doors and whoever isn't there has to go to this sweeps room until that class is over. You just sit there staring at a wall it's horrible. I haven't gotten it yet though.
See, I think it's just easier the way we did it. First off, it would be too hard to find enough Iraqi's to successfully beat Saddams military. Second, we wouldn't know who to trust. Thrid, they wouldn't be trained well enough to do the things we needed to do. That's just my opinion though.
