There's been alot of controversy about whether we should be in Iraq.
u know, i totally disagree wit wat u said. and hear me out plz. i think we should totally b in iraq, bcuz if we werent then there would b millions of innocent iraqis dyin every yr. saddaam was a ruthless tyrant. he would kill ppl just bcuz he felt like it at the time. if any1 said they werent 4 him they were dead. and i understand the liberal media wants every1 2 see the 2% of iraqis that dont want us 2 b there, but if any1 thought it was bad in iraq b4, imagine how it would b if we just pulled every troop out tomorrow wit there army and gov bein so new. there r so many iraqis that want us there, they thank our troops everyday that we came and liberated them from this dictator. and our personel r signin up 4 3 and 4 tours. they want 2 stay til this is a better place 4 the ppl of iraq 2 live.
i know, its long, but i know soooo many ppl in the military and they r hopin so baddly that they get 2 go 2 iraq and help these ppl out, if they havent been already. and if they have then they want 2 go back.
and as far as the "I don't think war is a good solution to our problems." part goes, how many times did the Lord lead the isrealites, His chosen ppl, in2 battle? and how many times did He win the battle 4 them? i remember in 1 case the Lord defeated the enemy even b4 they got 2 the battlefield, He just wanted the isrealites 2 b obedient 2 Him and show up 4 it.
I don't have any opinion on not bein in Iraq, and bein in Iraq, bcuz it's ALL in God's hands, and He has a PERFECT plan for EVERYONE!! and nothing NEW is going to happen that will come as a surprise, so as far as if the troops should be there or not, idk, i just know that God is in control, and NOTHING will EVER change that!! because He is the same yesterday, today, and FOREVER!!!!
i think u shouldn't go to war for revenge if ur angry and want to kill because the Bible clearly says to leave the revenge for God to do, but if u go to war to protect or defend like jesusrocks777 said that can be a good way to show God's love. its like all our troops r giving their lives for others like Jesus gave his life for us.

I don't think we should've been in Iraq in the first place. I'm not a hippie or anything, but I don't think war is a good solution to our problems.
