iraq war Options

i just wanted to know why you all think it started.

being that I was only eleven or twelve when the thing began, I don't really know about alot of the politics at the time, but I think that one of the reasons the american people got into it so quickly was simple bloodlust. basically, they bombed our towers, so we want to retaliate. looking back on it, i think it's totally ridiculous that we went into a war that would lead to thousands of deaths, the destruction of multiple arab cities, not to mention tons more debt. besides that, we didn't even know the right person to attack when this thing began. 9/11 was horrible, but the decision to rush into battle was just brash and ill-planned.

Easy... it wasn't terrorism. It was over politics. Saddam didn't want to bend over any more and hand over his government and land to our imperialistic organization, the U.S. government.


Look at Iraq today, you called that democracy? We didn't go there to bring them democracy, we went there for resources including the spread of power. Democracy is a facade, it's only used when the people are starving and begging for help, but they must give up their sovereignty for this democracy.


This country isn't a democracy, this is a REPUBLIC! Destroy democracy, because it's really mafiocracy that has spread across the world!

Close; really close. We couldn't openly do business with a dictatorship such as Saddam's. He bluffed about his weapons to appear as a threat to neighboring Iran. All the US wanted him to do was change (conceal) his ways. He didn't do that. The U.S. got involved, and since Iraq was a former safe haven for extremist students (Baghdad University, holla), they posed as a threat. The fire was fueled when Saddam began to spread propoganda around Iraq about defeating America. It snowballed and became what it did.

Iraqis are in power. Their government is corrupt enough without US intervention.

SAUCE PLX!

Iraqis aren't in control my good man... have you not watched, listened, nor read about what's going on in Iraq? TERRORISM STILL EXISTS. f*ck democracy.


You need a source to prove that this country is a republic and not a democracy? You serious or you just tryin to make me do more unessential work?
