Everything revolves around construction, contracts, oil/gas, dollars, power and ego. And, this can not be achieved without distruction. And, war is the most effective mode of fulfilling all these demands in a single stroke. Fear psychosis the name of the game. And, American leaders have, so far, proved to be the world leaders in this area. Call it fight for freedom / self esteem / survival / anything you like.

they are fighting for money. we are their for oil. right. our divorce lawyers are saying keep them their so when they get home they find out their significant other has moved on (which sucks and i dont meant it bad for the wives or husbands of those deployed but im sure they ask for a partner & those who are loyal you are an example which is good) so like i was saying the divorce lawyers make their money that way and then they file taxes because they made a killing on all these extra divorce cases they had this year and were busier. then some idiot comes up with hmmm support our troops stickers and with that we really support his damn wallet lolz…all over money…look around man CREAM. cash rules everything around me….freedom is not free it actually means money money money lolz….

They are all brave and I pray for them every day. I feel they are not really fighting for our freedoms per say but for the freedom of the Iraqi people, at least that is how it use to be. I am not by any means saying they have never fought for our freedoms here at home. What I am saying, is while they are over there, we are over here losing our freedoms of free speech, losing our Democracy and how it is suppose to function, thanks to our so called president who only likes to listen to himself and no one else.. I always thought Democracy was by the people for the people not by the president and for the president. The best thing we as a nation can do while our brave soldiers are fighting for what they believe they are there for, because my view is different, is keep speaking out and fight for our freedoms her at home so they will be here when the soldiers return... It is all of our duties to secure our own freedoms when threatened by someone who wants to be a dictator but masquerades as a Republican.

Frankly, we are removing a rotten apple from the barrel to avoid spreading the rot to the whole barrel which would eventually be OUR apple.

They are fighting because of the things that happened on 911, they are fighting to protect us.

LOL… there is no way to answer the question without sounding like an idiot.
According to the Bush faithful, we’re fighting them there so that hey don’t follow our navy home after we retreat and fly more planes into buildings.
Ofcourse that begs the question why wait until we leave Iraq, since Bush has been telling us they are already here? Crock O Sh1t.

by trying to put a damper on Islamic extremists…our freedom in this year or next five years aren’t at risk right now…but if Islamic extremist grow and flourish beyond our capability to control we or our children will be subject to them…look what is happening in Europe…they want to introduce sharia law SEPARATE from their countries law…in effect creating a state within a state…in parts of France there are place that police DO NOT GO because of these Muslims…in Europe i fear it is too late because their liberal ideologies are killing them…they are forfeiting their culture to adapt to the culture of the minorities who move in which is mostly Muslim…please remember that in Islam…unlike Christianity…loyalty is ONLY to Islam…where as in Christianity it is taught to respect the laws and pray for the leaders…we will know when we are safe when we take a stand to protect our culture from the invading culture of Islam…when we make it clear to them that they can live with us and among us but they MUST respect the law of our land or move out…until we see this kind of backbone from our leaders we will not be safe…our freedoms we enjoy now will slowing be eroded away in the name of "tolerance" or "multiculturalism"

Your question implies that if they were not there "fighting for our freedom" we would all be speaking Arabic at the hands of our Iraqi Invaders.

Somehow, I doubt the Iraqi military was gearing up for a massive sneak amphibious assault on the Western Coast.

Perhaps you refer to the incredibly massive paradrop of Iraqi units all over the US ala the movie "Wolverines".

Maybe they are fighting for our freedom by preventing the preemptive nuclear strike by the Iraqi WMD program. Condy said so.

Maybe it was the intense terrorist presence in Iraq as compared to the camps in Afghanistan or the Iranian funded and supplied Hezbollah. I mean, by taking out the main Al Quaeda base in Iraq, we neutralized (and by our presence) continue to mitigate the terrorists. News flash, Iran and Syria have far deeper ties to terror than Iraq could ever hope to have. Glad we went after Iraq…protecting our freedom by allowing Hezbollah to run free.

So, uh, they are protecting us from whom?

Very probing question. Sure American troops are not fighting for our or your freedom, for that fact not even for Iraqis freedom. Troops are not for freedom alone. If global peace is under threat UN has to get into action. Everybody forgot that it is UN who gave green signal to attack on Iraq. UN does not mean US, Briton, France alone. Russians, China are also in UN SC! They agreed for this fight. Even Muslim countries are supporting US actions. Let us wait and see the benefits of this war.
