Well, we can all agree that the motives were way off... Were were the WMD's Bush said were all over the place in Iraq? We just went there to make him and his friends richer.... Bush with his oil, the vice-prez with his Haliburton..... it's all about business.

Being an expat American living overseas, I feel the US needs to stop being the policeman of the world and just take care of itself.

...
Obama has a history of making himself and his friends richer too, while screwing others.

I hope will bring the change he promised, and changes himself a bit in that progress.



Somebody has to be the policeman... But it should be the UN, not just one country, I agree.
The US has big problems. He needs to take care on them or the USA will no longer be the #1 nation in the world...

Bottom line is: IT IS A MISTAKE TO INVADE A FOREIGN COUNTRY FOR UNCLEAR AND UNJUSTIFIED ENOUGH REASONS.
...
Just a little correction:

Thereasons were VERY clear.

They were wrong, but clear.



You can say whatever you want about the war... It in fact is a big chance for the Iraqi people.
What you see in the news is just the very rare bad things that happen during a day... You won't see all the good things.
Iraq has made much improvements. And I doubt they will continue doing so when the troops are gone...
But they have to leave... if the right moment has come...
It took very long to reach that point over here where I live.

Change? What change? He just announced Rahm Emmanuel as his Chief of Staff.

Amen, bother. Kick the UN out of NY and have them take care of Rwanda RFN.

Yes it can. Just look back to the Jimmy Carter years. A very good analogy for today. I hope Obama won't turn out that way, but I will wait and see...

Yep. I'm old enough to remember the wonderful Carter years and 20% inflation. Unfortunately, a lot of the people here are still in their 20's and textbooks are published by revisionist historians.
