1. What I just read on Wikipedia: After Vietnam was granted independence from France at the Geneva Convention, it was temporarily partitioned into North and South Vietnam. The US feared that communism would spread from North Vietnam to South and then throughout all of Asia and the US (the domino effect). As a result, they put leaders in place in South Vietnam and after failure to hold elections, as ordered by the Geneva conventions, a civil war ensued - which the US had to get involved in, since the gov't continuously agitated the situation. After about 16 years, the US finally had to admit defeat.


2 War should be used as a LAST resort and should never be used in place of diplomacy or used as a means of enforcing colonial power.


3. Yes


4. In a perfect world, it would create stability in the region; but the reality is that it is creating more instability and wreaking havoc.


5. Close friends


6. No, the war in Iraq distracted man power and resources from tracking down terrorists that are still on the loose. Sending the country to war on false pretenses was wrong and unjustifiable.


7. Peace


8. We are not fighting Iraq. We are fighting insurgents in their own country and basically refereeing a civil war which could go on for decades. I hope for the sake of our military that there can be some success, but its doubtful.


9. I'm not sure, but if the supposed goal was to bring democracy then we should work to bring democratic institutions to the region, namely a constitution.


10. I don't think I would because the reasons for declaring war always turn out to be less noble than they seem and wind up being politically motivated.


11. I think it is fair to offer people opportunities that they wouldn't otherwise have, just as long as the military carefully explains the gravity of the decision. When I was in high school, long before this war, military recruiters were permanently stationed at our school and always downplayed the possibility of going to war.
