I think that it is important to remember that Iraq is not Al Queda and frankly they cannot be interchanged in the way the President of the U.S. is interchanging them and using them as synonyms for one another. Many people being killed in Iraq are innocent citizens, just like the innocent people at the WTC were killed. I think that if war is to be waged, it should be waged against those who are proven to be affiliated with Al Queda.
When entering any war, an exit strategy and timeline need to be planned in advance. With this "war on terror" and Vietnam, no exit plan has been initiated.
I have much respect for those serving our country and realize that they are brave and selfless, but I cannot agree with the reasoning the current administration presents on why they are behind attacking Iraq. I do not agree with all of the democracy that is being promoted throughout the world to those who do not want anythign to do with it. I don't like when people force their religion on me and I think that promoting democracy to nations that have no interest in it is just like trying to spread Christianity to Islam states; the principles are the same in my eyes.
