Czech view of War on terror

• We the Czechs think that the War in Iraq is bad.
  The idea of fighting terrorism is good. But
  thats not a case of Iraq. The export of
  democracy is not the business of USA. By forcing
  people to democracy, you are actually violating
  its purpose and its main idea.
• We think that it was a big mistake of G.W. Bush
  and the reason to go to Iraq was just to please
  and thank to his oil supporters and voters.
• It is a bad thing that a lot of innocent people
  suffer from US soldiers being in Iraq and the
  amount of negatives from this war are way too
  higher than the amount of positives.

German view of War on terror

• At the beginning of the war, I found it to be
  okay. but now I think the American Army should
  leave Iraq. In Iraq so many innocent people died.
  The US soldiers, left their families. The idea
  to take Saddam Hussein down, was good. To export
  the rules of America to Iraq is wrong, if the
  citizens dont want the rules, it would be wrong
  to export the rules.

American View of the war.

• I think that the war is a terrible thing.
• I think that the American intentions were good,
  yet our execution is terrible.
• Wanting to help the Middle Eastern people was a
  good idea but our actions in trying to do so have
  done more damage then expected.
• I would like to see the war end soon, but I know
  that is not possible as long as Iraq is still not
  secure.
