The war in Iraq has been going on long enough. So many of our men have died over there and honestly i dont see for what. We're supposed to helping their government or whatever, but what else can we possible do. They've been there for years now and it doesn't seem like we're getting anywhere. Ok they attacked us on 9-11 i get that so we retaliated and went over there and got the bad guys. So why are we still over there? Don't get me wrong i greatly appreciate everything our troops do, but why do they have to keep getting murder? Everyday we hear on the news that so many of our men died, whats the point? I disagree with our troops being over there an i think it's a waste of time. i also think that one of the reasons bush wont take our troops out of iraq is because he's scared that when he does their going to bomb us!! Which may happen, but if they've done everything they can do over there then why stay? Fixing there goverment isn't really our problem.... Why should our men have to die? Evertime a man or woman dies over in iraq we have another family suffering back here. Is it really worth loosing all these people? Does it really make sense to have thousands of men die for really no reason? Someone please explain to me what the point is. i think it's wront and pointless and it's one of the stupidest things the u.s has done. At first, yeah, we should've been there because the attacked us and we needed to make sure it wouldn't happen again, but it's been years now and if whatever needed to be fixed isn't fixed yet then why bother. i dontknow about the rest of you but i dont enjoy turning on the news and hearing about our men being killed over there and they leave behind a wife an young children. i believe there loosing their lifes over in iraq for an unjust cause.

I would have to say this is almost similar to the Vietnam War. If we pull out, we will have considered to have lost the war. As for Bush, if he decides to pull the troops out, it will be favorable to his popularity in the U.S., but others would see that as a weakness that America has fallen from being the strongest. I mean, I feel for the troops too. I had a friend who went there and never came back. I would wish for them to come back too, but at this point, it's just up to the political heads to do what they can to keep up an image.

At least take the time to capitalize your "i's" and the United States (u.s.). Show some respect for yourself and your country rather than incoherently rambling.

Try to think out and structure your argument so it's less conflicting.
