What do CCers think of the war in Iraq

College Confidential Community

<p>So I was wondering what CC students’ opinions were about that…
I think it’d be interesting to see…
So here it is:
Tell me:

  1. Your sex: m/f
  2. Your grade level
  3. Your GPA
  4. Your political party identity</p>

<p>Answer from a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being you agree with the statement, 5 being you disagree with it, 3 for neutral etc.</p>

<li>The US should have invaded Iraq.</li>
<li>The US went into Iraq to spread democracy.</li>
<li> The US went into Iraq to protect itself from weapons of mass destruction.</li>
<li>THe US went into Iraq for more influence over oil.</li>
</ol>

<p>Example one:</p>

<p>Male
grade 12
GPA 3.8/4.6
Democrat</p>

<pre><code> agree neutral disagree
1 2 3 4 5
</code></pre>

<p>1…4
2. …1
3. …4
4. …2</p>

<p>Overall I disagree with the war, but we can't just cut and run. But that doesn't give Bush license to stay in forever. He had better get on putting together an exit plan, and execute it. This administration hasn't done anything right. Recent polls show that we're sick and tired of the Bush Administration's inability to get their act together in Iraq...of course we should never have gone to Iraq in the first place. And the UN needs go grow some balls and put their foot down. The world police thing is UN's job. Seriously.</p>

<p>Two quick comments...</p>

<p>pugfug "Saddam, leave, or we'll take your nonexisting WMDs"
You do realize (probably not unless you've turned to a channel OTHER THAN CNN) that the US has indeed found WMDs in Iraq, I hope.</p>

<p>futurenewyorkstudent "The world police thing is UN's job"
I'll agree with you on that, but please tell me this-- who PAYS for and EXECUTES most of the UN's actions?</p>

19

<p>The US has not found WMDs in Iraq. Watch other news channels besides Fox. Try bbcnews.com too. Or maybe you are like Hoekstra and calling those dilapidated shells WMD, which even the administration has refuted.</p>

<p>NN, I'm sorry, I'm reading GOVERNMENT ITELLIGENCE and MILITARY documents that have been declassified.</p>
