I can present a few reasons:
- They are a muslim country. And every muslim country these days seems to be a potential threat. (of course I'm being sarcastic, but that is the truth).
- They have nuclear capabilities. If combined with muslim "fundamentalists", will produce dangerous results to the "free" world.
- They don't have democracy as we in America want it to be.

I do. Simply because it devalues your principles. If you are anti-war, you are anti-war. If you change your position simply because the head of the state has dispatched troops to war, then you were not anti-war to begin with. And I'm sure many will disagree to that statement too.

Here's a link to a story about Dick Cheney's old company he had to give up when he became VP. Halliburton in 2001, the company had revenues of $13 billion and employed approximately 85,000 at year-end. Halliburton conducts business operations in over 100 countries throughout the world. This company has NOT had its hand in every country we have problems with in the middle east. oooohhh conspiracy gears turning. Dick Cheney is a shady dude. Big time wealthy, and was CEO of many billions $ Halliburton. Halliburton made BIG $$$$ in Kuwait following Desert Storm. Cheney opens Iraq's doors to Halliburton... very soon. ooohhhh Shady Shady!!! HAHA conspiracy theories are fun! Who's got the magic bullet? Also Halliburton is suspiciously named like Halle Berry, who I want to interview in an undisclosed hotel room!

I have written ~1000 word posts on several forums on this issue but as a Dutch citizen I back up the coalition for 100% on this one as well.
War was the only solution .. unless one would like to receive the first hit instead of giving it of course.

The fine soldiers who enlisted to protect our country don't have a choice... they have to go to war. We're there whether we like it or not, the least we can do is support our troops and let them know how much we're behind them in their efforts. Nothing worse than them knowing we don't care about the cause - it 's just like saying we don't care about them... remember Vietnam? Sure, we shouldn't have been there but it turned into an anti-soldier not anti-war effort. Sad.
Anyway, I just think we should support our troops and our President - they are just trying to make America a safe place for us and our children.

Whether you support the war or not, this is just stupid...
I heard that French President Jacque Chirac is "afraid" that French companies will be shut out for contracts to help rebuild the new Iraq. In other words, he won't help clean up and liberate the people and he'll verbally scorn us where he gets his shots in, but he wants money to go to French companies because of our coalition's work. I think that is garbage.

No joke Patrick. It looks like he's working hard at helping the French keep their less-than-glossy reputation during this whole thing.
Ridiculous.

Anyone who says we shouldn’t be in Iraq is protesting because its "war" yet they have no idea what Saddam has done. Should Hitler be a free man? Anyone who says yes is either stupid or a neo Nazi making him stupid anyways. Iraq has been a target for a very long time and bush is the only one who is not scared to push people are a little. The only thing that * me off is how they go around “liberating” everyone then they just go home and let some other messed up group take over. Maybe they can make a working society out of Iraq and Afghanistan? Yea right... they spent all their money on how th blow things up, not how to put them back together.

ya know what i hate when liberals use the "we have enough problems in America" line
seems to me
executing 500 politcal dissadents a month and having a high umemployment rate are two diff things
and for the record there is always work
if one is willing to do it
