Essential Question:
Why are the Iraqis resisting an opportunity to have stability after a three-year war in their country and an even longer regime of terror?
Sub-question:
What kinds of people are fighting against the United States? Conservative Iraqis who have prospered under Saddam's reign, or true religious martyrs.
Research:
Terrorists aren't fighting against the United States because they are jealous and against the freedom Americans hold.
The war against Shiites and Suniis has no clear end, and the hatred they hold against each other is so strong they can not peacefully live together.
Before the wars against Afghanistan and Iraq, Al-Qaeda cited as reasons for it's Jihad against America, the sanctions against that were crippling Iraq, military bases near holy shrines in Saudi Arabia, and U.S. support of Israel over against the Palestinians.

Garret your question is an interesting one, but i think there is more to the story than what you have learned about
I think that we can't leave Iraq until we have helped them stabilized their country, such as set up a government/ someone in power.
Was it all lies though? The Marine we interviewed said he saw for himself weapons that can and would inflict mass destruction if launched, and the destruction of said weapons will take I believe he said 13 years to destroy all the missiles and explosives found. All of these weapons Saddam was not aloud to have under the UN Sanctions placed forth.
I don't think it was lies. It could have been faulty intelligence for some of the reasons for war, but many of the reasons were legitimate. I also think our president knew what a Sunni and Shiite was.
I think most people only see what the news tells them. When the operation was planned, they did not expect for the country to erupt into a civil war which is making it harder to stabilize the country.
I messed up, I meant to comment on someone elses and it somehow got in mine...
If they could have stability i think they would and if there is no more terror then why are we still over there?
