Default RE: War in iraq?

Ill support it as long as its going on. I personally dont like war, but sometimes its what you have to do. Im very greatful for the men and women fighting for me right now. However, i have nothing against foreign countries and how they govern themselves, because it doesnt really involve me over here(ignorant sounding, i know). We base our beliefs on how are government has always been. Its kind of the old philosophical saying of, "We catch our beliefs the same way we catch a cold." Our government thinks we should try to inact a democracy in a country thats always been ruled by a dictatorship. I've been to Dubai, which is in the U.A.E(United Arab Emerites). Its below Oman, and above Saudi. I shopped in stores owned by Osama Bin Laden. Didnt know that at the time till my friend who lives there told me. The culture over there is very different than what we as americans are use to, and the natives over there think we're the goofy ones, just like we do them(some people, not all). After 9/11, we went to war with Al Queida, and proceded to move further and further from our original goal. In some ways, i feel we're launching a 21st century crusade amongst the Muslim community. Im all for helping any human being in need, but sometimes they dont want our help. Im all for launching a counter strike when someone intinially tries to harm us and plans on doing even more damage. What im not to keen for, is trying to stick our nose where it doesnt belong. I know a lot of this really doesnt have a straight YES or NO answer on where i stand on the war, but its not really suppose to either. Our society is so convoluted with media and others opinions, not to mention the culture in which we each live, thats its almost impossible to have a straight answer for every action taken. Im just glad i live somewhere where i can write this kind of stuff where anyone online can look at it, and no i wont get arrested in the morning, and i have soldiers to thank for that.
