Question by . ÇÊžÉןɟ-uɹoÊž .: Why are we still in Afghanistan? And Iraq?
Bin Laden is allegedly dead. And ex President Saddam Hussein has been removed from office/dead.
So…. What gives?
It’s really impossible to defeat an ideology, don’t our military generals know that?
We haven’t even defeated Nazism and Communism. They’re still alive and well. They’re not a threat anymore but they’re still alive. Bin Laden is dead, most of their top commander/leaders are dead or in hiding. The only thing we can do aside from dropping a few dozen nukes on them is bring our troops home and increase homeland security.
The longer we stay, the more angry the locals get. The more enemies we get.
A government has been set up, the only thing we should do is just leave military advisers there to keep training them. They need to take care of themselves.
You can’t kill the will of a people unless you kill every single one of them. Especially when it’s in the hands of Afghans. Didn’t we learn from the British?
Or a more modern example… The Soviets? They’re bleeding us dry like they did the USSR.
Gas prices are through the roof. Yes they went down a few pennies but they’re not anywhere close to being back down to .50. I remember people complaining when gas went up to .70 and I was still in middle school puzzled like I am now about why gas is going up.
And of course I think we all can agree that we should have never went to war with Iraq.
Hell if anything Saddam was a good guy. Iraq was selling oil for pretty cheap compared to everyone else. When we invaded it’s not like we “stole” the oil like so many people claimed. If we stole Iraq’s oil then I think prices should have gone down. Unless we’re just hoarding it to deliberatly drive prices up.
If anything Iraq could have been our greatest allies.
They hated Iran, went to war with them and were there to keep Iran in line. Now Iran thinks they own the middle east now. I think I miss President Saddam.
Hell, we could have let him keep Kuwait in exchange for him to give us cheap oil. But now that would make us look bad.
Anyways Honestly. I don’t think we should have let the Shaw of Iran fall, Iran used to be our ally. Now look at them, some damn Islamic Republic.
I have a fear Egypt is going to head that way too. Egypt’s ex president was friendly towards America.
Now we don’t know who they will hate and like. I’m betting it will be another Iran scenario or just remain a military dictatorship.
Anyways yeah enough with my long thoughts.
Why are we still at war?
