Defending the Truth

I challenge anyone to tell me how and who will pay for this terrible fiasco called - The Iraq War.

Billy... some of here do not believe that this war has been a total fiasco...

It has only been a *partial* fiasco.

We made sure there were no WMD's, didn't we?

(Too bad we possibly unleashed years and years and years of potentially harmful retributions though, among groups of people and areas of the country that were, at an earlier time, ignorantly forced together as a "nation" by the West. Too bad the current administration didn't acknowledge and/or understand the history of the region before March 2003.)

So you are saying it would have been better to leave that tyrant and murderer Saddam Hussein in power? You're trying to say him and his regime had a greater stabilizing force on these groups in Iraq?

While myself and, I'm sure, most of Iraq's people will not shed a tear for the removal, trial, and death of Saddam, it is ignorant for anyone to conclude that a "nation" can be built by simply drawing lines on map...which is what actually happened after World War I.

In my opinion, the US government really needs to push very hard at this time to accomidate the idea of semi-autonomous regions within Iraq. That's the only way, I think, that there can be a future for Iraq...as a nation. There is just so much "bad blood" between these groups that goes back hundreds of years.

The world is full of tyrants and this fact doesn't give the United States the right to interfere in these places.

That is what I thought - you do not have a clue.

That was the question. The question was - Who pays for the Iraq war?

The United States will pay for this war the exact same way it pays for everything else, through tax money generated. Right now the cost is at some $500 Billion dollars, and the blood of some 3000 fighting men and women.

Rather not a large sum considering the some 7 Trillion dollars we have spent fighting the war on poverty, and have continually failed to win.

You still did not answer the question. Who will pay for the Iraq War? The United States is not an answer it is a dodge. Who specifically will pay for the Iraq war? Tax Payers is not an answer either. Which Tax Payers?
