AMERICA AT A CROSSROADS "A Case for War" | Iran Debate| PBS

[Aarondephysic]

Iranian brainwashing at its finest!

Americans are not given enough credit for caring about civilians... seriously!

the reason i say this is because the people america goes up against RESIST the help the US wants to give them...

[danshort10]

Your right , the US government has spent billions upon billions of dollars developing technology to limit the civilian life lost in our war efforts. And yet people call us baby killers and murders its a joke

[philipcyl]

Americans must wake up. It was not "the Iraq war" that caused the september 11. It was not "the Afganistan war" that caused the sept 11. Who says that you need the iraq war, in order for you to be hated to the extent that something like sept 11 can take place.

[philipcyl]

In this way, the mafia can hold the people who love true peace and justice hostage. They will say, "Don't dare disturb us from our activities of bullying others. If you do, we will create so much violence and killings and then put all the blame on you. Weak minded people will also join us in blaming you. So, just be satisfied with the type of peace we have to offer where we retain the power to bully anyone we want and anytime we want."

[philipcyl]

The extremist are killing more iraqis than the coalition and some people are still not sure who their friends are. It is like the mafia act more violently because certain people dare to go against them but it end up the people who go against them are being blamed. The flaws in this arguement: "If you had let these gangsters to exist and to happily go about planning their criminal activities, we wouldn't be having all these violence due to their hatred towards those who tried to stop them."

[lilkarts]

I was for war because Sadam was upredictable then against war bec...then FOR because a Iraqi Doctor in NZ told me "Best Thing that ever happened to Iraq--and they are having teething problems BUT......." Sadam then and the Extremist now are not Helping DEMOCRACY AND PEACE?I really feel Sadam was the right person for Iraq because of so Many FACTIONS and OPINIONs but because he and sons were CRUEL....I hope DEMOCRACY will win over terrorrism (non democracy) in Iraq soon(Jo-Pro truth and Peace)

[khaldoun201]

i really don't know about this guy but i like him

[gazawi10]

We're not talking about Japan or about Germany, both of which were trying to expand their "empires" throughout the whole of Western Europe or Southeast Asia, respectively.

Iraq is a completely different story, genius. What the hell are you talking about anyways? What do you even mean when you say that Iraqis are "too weak to fight for their own personal freedom." You don't make sense. Stop spitting Fox News slogans and think for yourself for a change.

[espada9]

Shut down? Gangsta? You write as if you were 12 years old. After we left Viet Nam the country was turned into a prison camp, millions fled, all property was confiscated. If we leave Iraq it will be even WORSE but you don't care all you want is death and destruction, you cheer for the terrorists, what a FOOL!

[gazawi10]

Look at Iraq now, you fool! You caused so much damage that people are dreaming for a return of a ruthless dictator! That's pretty bad.

[espada9]

You are truly an idiot, Iraq is a mess because the people there are either too weak to fight for their own personal freedom or chose to join an Islamic extremist faction bent on death and destruction. Explain the success of the Kurds in the North? Explain the success of Germany or Japan after WWII??????????

[espada9]

Thats the mentality that keeps your Stone Age people enslaved or dead.  Idiotic Muslim scum bags who need to live under a dictator in order act civilized!
