I Don't Know Much About This, But Why Is It That We Can't Find A Way To Stop The War In Iraq?

There seems to be great concern among Americans that our handling of the war in Iraq
will cause more hatred of the U.S. from people in other countries. Americans have heard this since the First World War in 1917. As soon as America became a force on the international stage other counties have worried about their loss of power and prestige. In the First World War when America's envolvement in that European conflict
helped turn the tide of a bloody stalemate soon the allies we assisted began to find fault with us. The French and British were mad because they needed our help and the Germans disliked us because we helped the French and the British defeat them. One thing I have observed time and again that in history there are certain patterns that can be observed that have helped me to figure out what is about to happen, again. World War Two followed on the heels of the First World War (called The Great War until the world had a second one twenty short years later).
When we went to war in Iraq we joined the list of many other invaders of that region who all believed that they truly had legitimate reasons for doing so. As Carl von Clausewitz in the 19th century once said " War is a continuation of politics by other means."
With all the demonstations on both sides of the issue,and all the emotions that that brings to the surface, with all the young men and women that believe that they are fighting the good fight,join the armies on both sides, when politicians here and there make speeches, with catch phrases to trap the peoples minds so that the people's ability to sort out the illogic from the logical the world will always have wars. Some say that the first casualty of war is the truth and that might be true. There is nothing that hasn't been thought of or done under the sun. For the past is very much the present.
