Not just this war, we need to remember all the soldiers who fought with their lives in all the wars. Vietnam, World War One/Two and the ever going Irag war going on.

So many lives lost, why can't everything be peace and harmony :( All the children who have lost their fathers, siblings. I believe everyone has lost someone in whatever war and my prayers just now go out to the familes with servicemen fighting in Iraq :) You are always in our prayers :eusa_pray

Iraq is a waste of time, money, effort and lifes. All america wanted to do was steal oil from Iraq and saddam didnt even have any weapons but saddam had done terrible things to the people of Iraq and should of got 100000 lashs until he died. Did you know he strapped his cousin to a V2 rocket and set it off?

Well back to Vietnam. I always saw vietnam as the nastiest wars ever, with the terrible traps the vietcong set that impaled the americans, to the americans using napalm. Stupid americans always have to stick there nose in everyones buisness! :@

It's terrible, war is always terrible, and to think at the time, Americans were protesting against the troops when they came back from Vietnam.

I know how awful the iraqi's might seem, how can I put this nicely, ghastly, but deep down they are standing for what they believe in. They believe in war as being the main source of survival in life. I understand a lot of english and american soldiers have been killed because of this war, but they go out there because they are proud to be british and american and they will do everything to stop our world from shattering. I believe that all of us are equal but with Iraq making the world into something it shouldn't be they're abusing their right to be on earth. In my opinion god made the earth for peace not war, love not hate and cheese not ham :D

[smurf-you]

Wars a waste of my time
So's iraq and America, and all the chavs out there

Theroy: Let Tony Blair Finish s*cking up to Bush and then when hes back is turned BANG....

HAPPY DAYS...

My mother was born during the first few years of the Vietnam War..
She told me really unbelievable stories about it..
It was a harsh war and it shouldn't of happened in the first place.. in my opinion anyways.

[?-Doc-?]

Yes. It was a stupid act.

[?-Doc-?]

Im not sure but i think my great aunty got like "hanged" on a airplance or something in front of everyone to state "Retreat Now Or this will happen to you" . God it was horrible.
