How to Remember 9/11 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Barely voted? More people voted for Bush in 2004 than any other president in history...

Consider this, the oil fields in Iraq? What do you know...for the most part belong to French companies, not Iraq. If we were fighting for the oil in Iraq, why not fight against France.

Lets re-wind to before 9-11. Gee, Bill Clinton and his administration patrol and enforce Iraq, ie Southern Watch, Northern Watch, etc etc. What for would we patrol Iraq and enforce no-fly zones, where the smallest problem could erupt into war.

I'll agree there are plenty of things that could have been done differently, but remember those trying times right after 9/11? Damn right Clinton, John Kerry, any president would have taken off to the middle east, and we'd probably be in just bad of shape.

Concerning Saudi Arabia...well lets see, for one instance, they are our ally. (And a helpful one at that..) Secondly, they don't live under the iron fist of an oppressive dictator who is willing to kill those who are the slightest bit different. I was in Saudi last December on a training exercise, and it's the furthest thing from a threat. Technology is key and Saudi Arabia is hardly third-world.

Those who say we have no place in Iraq, and that we should keep our noses out of other people's business. Hmm, consider Kosovo and Bosnia, did we have no right to be there, either? How about ask them.

North Korea...yes, North Korea could possibly be a threat, however, attacking them would cause a much bigger mess than what you see in Iraq and Afghanistan, being as North Korea could actually put up a good standing military. In Iraq and Afghanistan, the military fell without any resistance in a matter of weeks. It's been a war of insurgents for the last couple of years.

Anyways, I could go on forever, but like I said, everyone is set on their own opinion, and isn't going to change it by hearing one, or even a million people. I guess that's the beauty of America though, that you can still for the most part say what you want. :)
