  • Has your opinion about Iraq War changed?

    Its been a year now since the major lead up to the American invasion of Iraq. Since much has happened in the last year, and since there is very strong feelings on both sides of this issue I'm just curious how, if at all, people's opinions of the war have changed in the last year.

    If you were for the war last year, what do you think now that no WMD were found, a guerrilla campaign against coalition soldiers continues still, and neither Saddam or Osama have been caught/killed?

    If you were against the war last year, what do you think now that there have been no new, big terrorist attacks in America/Europe, there weren't massive causualities of civilians or soldiers during the war, and the United States hasn't greedily harvested Iraqi oil ignoring all other problems of the nation?

    If you changed your opinion, what influenced the change?

    If you didn't change your opinion, did the last year happen like you expected? If not, why hasn't this changed your opinion of the war?

          My opinion is the same as it was then. I believe that, fundamentally, it was necessary to remove the Hussein regime. I am, however, vehemently opposed to the handling of the whole affair, from the initial diplomatic gaffs to present.

            I used to support the war, and I used to support Bush. But you commies and lefties showed me the error of my ways. I hate Bush now.

              The Bush administration did the right thing for the wrong reasons -- that was initially, and still is, my opinion.

                I guess we finally found evidence of Iraq's WMDs . . . .

                  I approved of getting rid of Hussein then, I approve of it now. I think the US could have done it better, but then again I think the French, Russians, and others could have done it better, too.

                      I wasn't being serious about the commies. If I was, I wouldn't use the word commie.

                      But I did reverse my position, but it was based on real world events, not words posted here.

                          My position has changed. I am still for the war, I just think we need to be a lot more aggressive and stop ignoring Afgan...

                            my avatar has nothing to do with the Iraq war though.

                            I'm still pissed at what they did in the war of 1812. I hold grudges for a very long time.

                              I'm of the opinion that Saddam should've been removed from power a long time ago, (like the 80's) and now we have to stay until we 'win' or else we'll give the green light to every dip**** with a grudge (real or imaginary) against the U.S. to do whatever they want w/o fear of retaliation.
                              That said I think the current admin's tactics and diplomacy have been nothing short of a disaster. This poll doesn't allow me to show my true support level. Next years elections will, though.

                              I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned
