I am sure all the women, children and non extremists of Iraq would love to not have to live in constant civil war and terror.
many many thousands are already dead from our actions, creating hatred towards us for generations to come.

You do realize the difference in a good plan / help and a bad plan / help?

I hope I never have you for a neighbor with yours. You disagree with me and you and your friends invade my home? That is what you are asking the USA to do.
Have you ever served in the military? Have you ever been in a fire fight? I have. You would like it to mean something more than dethroning one fanatic for another. People who have never served seem to be pretty willing to send our soldiers to die for a cause that has not one thing to do with our national defense. Have you ever watched a close friend bleed out on the field of battle? I have. I would never wish it on anyone. If we must go to war, if we must send troops into harms way, let it be for our nation and our own people.
10 million gallons of foreign blood is not worth 1 drop of American blood unless it is in our own defense.
By the way I am considered a good neighbor. I help when needed, but know enough to mind my own business. Good neighbors don't force themselves into everyone else's lives.

LOL look what our good help did for Iran. They got to enjoy the tender mercies of the Shah!!! Now we wonder why Iran doesn't like us.

Nothing to do with "disagreeing"

Has everything to do with respecting inherent human rights.

We kinda had that whole "freedom and democracy" thing going on in our domestic and foreign policy for the last few hundred years or so. You're suggesting that we now follow in the steps of dictators like Hitler and Stalin... are you crazy? Hasn't the last ten years of wasted money and American lives over there been enough?

All meddling over there is a bad plan! It sucks to be them, but if they haven't figured out over there how to be free in the past couple of thousand of years, then they aren't going to now! I'm concerned about OUR country, its citizens, and that our freedoms and liberties are being further erroded courtsey of BS like the Patriot ACT, under the guise of a "war on terrah!" Oh... and let's not forget the failed "war on drugs" in which our government plays both sides of the coin.
