The War

i just got done watching the president answer questions from newsgroups. there has been a new poll from american citizens stating that the majority of us want the troops to pull out. 

this boggles my mind. first, americans wanted bush to bomb the hell out of the middle east. NOW americans are pissed off at bush. i dont know enough about this war to really be for or against it. i am only saying these few things:

the american troops in iraq CHOSE to enrole themselves and basicaly sign their own lives over to the president of the us. why should we feel sorry for them? they were the ones who wanted to fight in the first place. and to those who state that they only joined the army reserves so that they could get a free education and they didnt really WANT to get in to a war ever: THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR ABUSING THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. i want a free education too! but when i truly think about it, i feel good about working my ass off, taking out the loans, filling out the BULLSHIT paperwork EVERY YEAR, and wondering when the hell i will finally be done with it all. 

if americans want to live in a safe place, and have a little bit of population control, we have to do some work WITHIN other countries to TEACH THEM how to properly govern themselves and maintain a sort of peace. you CANT do this overnight, in a few months or a year. it seems that the people in iraq have suffered in a violent, dictorian government for CENTURIES. its all they know so far. 

if we want to keep our population under control (immagrants, etc) we must help to change the way people live their lives in countries such as iraq. why do you think people immigrate to the US?!?! because the country they just HAPPEN to be born in to is a SHITHOLE!!! if you were born in most areas of africa, mexico, russia, iraq or some other crappy countries like that, wouldnt YOU want to come to america too?! not ALL people in iraq are terrorist bastards like the ones who smashed the planes in to the twin towers. im sure many of those citizens over there are just like americans: HUMAN. MANY PEOPLE want peace and justice like the rest of us who HAPPEN to be born in america.  

also, i have come to beleive that civilization, cleanliness and intelligence originates from MONEY. not from some kind of "god-given", special or chosen power. if america didnt have so much money, we would be drinking sewer water, dying of STDs and going out of our minds. just like many people in areas of Africa and other countries.  

if we leave now, everything we have just STARTED in iraq will unravell and we will be back to sqaure 1 with more terrorist attacks in the us.

remember, americans are nothing special. we are just lucky to have been born here. think about it and get off your high horse.
