“At the time that we went into Iraq, we had just come out of 9/11. The nation was in shock, frightened,” Sally Fisher of Garden City, Mich., said in a follow-up interview after the poll was conducted. “Looking back, I still think we should have gone in. Should we have stayed as long as we did? No.”
I don't get how, or why, people think that going into a country, overthrowing and dismantling their government, and then attempting to institute a democratic government in a region that has never had one, would ever be a quick task. Likewise, what would "going in" do exactly, that would avenge, fix or prevent the events of 9/11?
When people make comments like these, I really, genuinely don't understand what they mean by them, or where they're coming from.
