Iraq, Afghan wars drop bombs on US image abroad as Obama's fame fades

U.S. lawmakers are working on how to reverse the countrys flagging image in Muslim nations. President Obama's election brought a welcome surge in U.S. popularity, but that reputation's on the slide as the unwelcome wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue.

Wars were stupid games for human beings, just mostly being used by politicians to use some means to fulfill their political goals in sacrifice of millions of human life. Never to have any wars anymore!! absoulutely useless to get problems solved. Only stupid and idiots like wars because they thought they are heroes at the battlefields.

@Kraskification maybe enjoy wasnt the best word choice... but thankful. believe it or not they want running water and they want what we have... just a fraction of our standard of living gives them hope. plus us stopping the close to geniside was a plus.

@ImTylerTheCat They enjoy having their villages bombed and shot up? They enjoy having depleted uranium chucked all over their country? They enjoy having their opium farms burnt down? (Yeah opiums bad, but c'mon you're a guy in the fuckin desert, how else do you afford food). I dunno man.

@Kraskification and invasion that the major populace of the invaded country enjoys? eh... idk.

[Kraskification]

@ImTylerTheCat Is there 2,000lb bombs being dropped on america? No, then it's not a war, it's an invasion.

@peacelover828 the Taliban targeting military is one thing. but targeting civilians is an other. We fight a common enemy. if we stop fighting, their lust for destruction of western culture, which i have the right to enjoy just as much as they have the right to theirs, will blind their eyes. they will not be able to see the difference between masses and military. terrorists need to be destroyed. that is Americas goal. if your loved ones died in a terrorist attack, you would feel the same way.

@Holidats if you were to meet a true religious person. you would see they love everyone. i read the bible every day. i don't say that Muslims are wrong, its not my place to judge. but the teachings of Jesus while he was on the earth, makes a good, successful man. the morality of TRUE religion, is one of peace and harmony among everyone. if you deny this, you know nothing of the topic.

@artiriti That's right and don't forget that the U.S. District of Columbia totally supports Israel who is indeed the #1 human rights violator in the world .
