I think that America should've stayed away from Iraq. America didn't and doesn't belong there. Sure Saddam was a very evil man that needed to be removed, but let's face it: there are a couple of dozen countries in the world that have a cruel and unjust dictator, and of all these dictators the US removed just one and that also happens to be the dictator of the richest of all those countries. Coincidence? I think not... There are plenty of poor African, Southern American and Asian countries with cruel dictators, and do you think Bush would even consider burning his fingers on any of them? Of course not. And a terrorist threat from Iraq? That was obviously a lie. Bush claimed he was absolutely sure there were chemical weapons in Iraq and to this day, he hasn't been able to show any convincing evidence to justify his suspicion.
It's time to accept that the Middle East has a culture of it's own and that the West has a culture of it's own, and that we're NEVER going to understand each other. We think their culture is evil, they think the same of our culture, and they're not going to change their minds no matter what and neither are we. Sure the Middle East has some really f***ed up stuff going on, but that's something they're going to have to take care of by themselves, because it's obvious that they simply DON'T WANT us Western people running their countries, which I think it totally understandable (which by the way certainly doesn't mean that I'm trying to justify any terrorist actions).
The US government tries to make us believe that there is absolutely no way that we can stop terrorists. That's a lie, cause there is a way and they know it: we should get our asses out of those people's countries and stop interfering with their politics, and I can guarantee you that there'll be no more Al Qaida terrorism in the Western world. That's how it works in this world: if you don't want trouble with certain people, the best way to not get trouble is to leave them alone.
