We Succeeded in Iraq!?!?!

I do not see Senator McCain becoming President.... He sounds like he has conceded already.... And he keeps making mistakes. I understand people are not perfect, but Senator McCain is showing his age, and we need someone young enough, who understands the times we are in....

There also were many people who didn't want Bush the first time around either. They all didn't live in the U.S.A.. This guy along with Blair have affected lot's of people.

I hope you are right. But people didnt want Bush for a second term and here he is. I will be pleasantly suprised at the state of the USA if McCain doesnt win. If he does win it just goes to show that the controll is not in the hands of the voter but in the hands of the old big money. Regards I hope all is well for you take care! :)

Do not be so quick to judge. Although it seems so very complicated, I have been studying politics for a good portion of my life. I understand it is dirty, and applaud that there are candidates that will say exactly that. But do not say that we are not going to understand. I am informed, I call my representatives and I understand people. No one knows everything, not even our representatives, they can feel just as lost and powerless as us. What I do not understand, is why everyone is so quick to decide it is not their problem. I AM affected by gas prices, I AM affected by this war, I AM affected by the morale and the mental stability of my country. I hear the stress in my parents voices, I hear the uncertainty in my little sister's, and I am not just going to say "I am not going to understand" or worse, just sit here while other people make decisions that are going to affect the rest of MY life and potentially the lives of my children. I cannot do that. Not as me, and surely not as an American.

No, I do not believe we will ever know the whole story. I just find it interesting how the price of oil might be affected by having an oil man in office.... I cannot understand why anyone voted for him a second term. These are the candidates we have to chose from, One believes we have succeeded in Iraq, the other, feels we never should have gone. Anything I was ever taught about the wars and fighting that has gone on there, tells me it is unwise to tamper with the civil disunity of another country. They need to get along with each other, before we can even believe we can help them... Why do we send troops to countries, who obviously do not want us there, when there are countries ASKING for our presence. Countries ASKING us to send troops... That is what I do not understand.. :\

I know what you mean. I agree with you. I also remember being taught that it is not wise to go into a country with unrest, but then I was also taught that we must go in where there is unrest and try to help those being oppressed, murdered, overrun. Again, two sides to the coin. What are we to do? Flip the coin and take our chances? It seems that way with our two candidates, doesn't it?

Why don't we deal with our own oppression first? That's all I mean... :)

I was always taught it would be unwise to take out Saddam because at least we understood how to deal with him. Taking out Saddam was a really bad move, because what we ended up doing was allowing other leaders whom we do not have experience with, come to the forefront and start making their countries decisions. Which is what anyone would do.... They need a leader...so someone is going to step up.
