WHY gas should be cheaper

I was under the impression that the primary objective was brining peace to the country. They failed that. There are tons of terrorist attacks.

<blockquote>There are tons of terrorist attacks.</blockquote> <p>Well, you can't expect that things will get better as soon as they arrive there. America has made a few crucial mistakes (like what they did to those Iraqi prisoners) which will cost them more time.<p> <blockquote>The prime objective was to get saddam and we did that</blockquote> <p>Are you sure about that? They've said it was to dispose of any WMDs that were there and take out Saddam, but some say they have ulterior motives. We've all heard of the oil motive...

Keep in mind that months ago Bush said that the war was over in Iraq, while it wasn't. He just said that to fool the world.

Bush said that they would have Iraq at peace by June 30th. What a joke. There are U.S soldiers killed in the streets daily.<br><blockquote>There are tons of terrorist attacks.</blockquote><br>That's incorrect. There are no terrorist factions that are organizing these strikes. The people of Iraq (particularly the Sha'it Muslims) want the U.S out of Iraq, so they are using force. The people themselves are doing this.<br>This presents an interesting question: should the U.S pull out? The answer sounds simple, doesn't it? Not so. If the U.S was to pull out this week, I can garantee that within a month there would be civil war. However, if they stay, they risk even more death (I'll find out the most recent death count and post later) and it is almost certain that they will not set up a government by June 30th. Your opinion?

Iraq is a country made of 3 major groups that want to wipe out each other since the country was defined by british forces after the first world war. Saddan Hussein was avoiding this situation by massacring rebel groups by himself, and now that he is out of question, no force within Iraq will prevent it. There WILL be a civil war, and the next elections won´t change it.

It's a long time if you take into account when they said it would be stopped.<br> <blockquote>Sure, I believe that.</blockquote><br>Why else would he say that while people are still being killed left and right?<br> <blockquote>That's incorrect. There are no terrorist factions that are organizing these strikes. The people of Iraq (particularly the Sha'it Muslims) want the U.S out of Iraq, so they are using force. The people themselves are doing this.</blockquote><br>They are not terrorist maybe, but their attacks are considered that way.<br>The people in general thank the US for saving them of the terror that was Saddam. There's only one group that wants them out, because they want Saddam back, which gave them power. They are just an egotistical fraction that wants power.

Gas prices will go down if we see another terrorist attack. That’s the only reason they dropped as low as $0.89 after 9/11.
