The “Good” of the Iraq War

The war waging in Iraq is the biggest argument in the United States today. There are two sides to this argument, as there is any every case. Either you are a supporter of the war, or you don’t support the war. Though you can’t be in the middle because this issue is far to important no to care about. In the spring of 2003, President George Bush declared war against Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq. President Bush strongly believed that Saddam either had or was harboring weapons of mass destruction. He gave Saddam a forty-eight hour deadline to remove them. Saddam did nothing. In result, we invaded Iraq. It took only weeks for the most powerful army in the world to take over this weak country. Then the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction began. Come to find out, no weapons were found. Only a few rockets filled with nerve agents. Later on, Saddam was found hiding in a hole under a house outside a small village. Since then, the Americans have been trying to run this country. Although most of the Iraqi’s are glad we have taken out Saddam, there is a small half that is not, and has been making the rebuilding process very difficult.

One, Iraq is getting rid of a very dangerous man. And two, they are learning two figure out things on their own. This is very good towards rebuilding. Iraq is starting to be able to make major decisions. They have a functional judicial system that is convicting and executing many criminals. Also they were able to solve the problem legally on how to get rid of this ‘Chemical Ali”. These people are now being able to persecute and carryout execution of their biggest criminals without the help of the United States. This was a very good article that should give the people who read it, hope about this rebuilding process in

    Unit 3 Assignment 2 Exploratory Paper War US vs Iraq

    There is a lot of debate right now as to if the United States should go back to war with Iraq. Both sides of this debate, the people that are for going back to war and the people who are totally against it, have legitimate points” pro” and “con”. However, a lot of the people that are” Pro” engaging in war with Iraq again do not realize the underlining issues which exist. The United States just got out of a war with Iraq which brings up a lot of questions if we should go back or not. There are a few questions that most people do not sit down and truly think fully about.…

    9/11 Research Synthesis Essay

    The regime has long lasting and continuing ties to terrorist inside Iraq. This regime is seeking nuclear bomb, and with fissile material could build one within a year.” It was later showed that there was absolutely no proof of nuclear weapons inside Iraq and they were harboring no WMDs and also having no ties with any terrorist groups. This is one of the hundreds of lies that the bush administration was using to try to persuade and fear the public into support of this war, making it appear to be a matter of life and death. In fact in 2002 there was a campaign created by the White House Iraq group with the bush administration coordinated with policy officials to spread Bush’s lies. But this war wasn't only for the “good” of America, it was also for personal gain. The Bush family has been accused (and recorded) to have done business with companies that have has worked with Osama Bin Laden, the Caryle Group. Also, with the growing tensions the Middle East and the United States pre 9/11, the Bush family invested in companies that acquired weapon contracts after the invasion; boosting their profits (Wall Street…

    The Pros And Cons Of The US Invasion

    While most Americans call the war the, “American-Mexican War”, the other side would call it, “The U.S. Invasion”. If it is God’s reasoning to expand the U.S. territory as far as possible, then is it also his reasoning to murder those upon their own land? It is not only unjustified to take the land from the Mexicans, however to become inhuman enough to kill those while doing so is unspeakable. There was no need for any more conflict at that time, so to start a war was not ideal for anyone. Would a war be more beneficial or cost efficient than a compromise or a buyout? The Mexicans had only simple ideas of allowing outsiders into their land to increase population. In the words of General Francisco Mejia, “The right of conquest has always been…

    9/11 Pros And Cons

    September 11 2001, marked a very tragic day in history, and immediate action was required in order to handle the situation. During the Bush administration, surveillance programs were put into place in order to monitor possible hostile actions towards our country. In a post Snowden article in 2006, Robert A. Levy went into depth about what Article II is and if current programs put into place can be deemed illegal. After reviewing Article II and Levy’s position I agree that it was illegal, but I believe that this was because what need to take place was described vaguely and was left up to interpretation. The fourth amendment speaks about using “reasonableness,” what might be reasonable to one may not mean the same to another. Due to this, abuse…

    9/11 Pros And Cons

    “We might have accomplished something if we have been able to treat the terrorist attacks of 9/11 in a way similar to how we treat the damage on the nation's highways-by implementing practices and requirements that are directly related to results (as in the case of speed limit, safety belts, and the like, which took decades to accomplish in the cause of auto safety)-rather than by throwing the nation into a near panic and using the resulting fears to justify expensive but not necessarily effective or even relevant measures.”…

    The Pros And Cons Of Bombing Iraq

    The Islamic State is a terrorist group that should be stopped. They have hurt and continue to hurt a lot of people, but there isn’t much that the U.S. could do that has not been done yet. In my opinion, the fastest way to end with a problem is to get rid of it completely. One way to achieve that is by using nuclear weapons. Bombing Iraq to swipe the Islamic State could be an infinitive answer, but like everything there are some pros and cons to this method. To be more exact there are more negative effects to this method. First of all, Isis is not just in one place, but it’s spread all over the region. That means the U.S. would have to use many bombs. That would be extremely expensive and ineffective. Also, we would also be killing innocent…

    Pros And Cons Of The Iraq War

    The United States has been at war since its creation in 1776. It has battled confrontation 222 out of 239 years, just about 93% of its continuance. Notably, one of the most crucial wars is the “War on Terror”. Beginning in March of 2003, this war initially served the purpose of getting rid of the country’s leader Saddam Hussein to prevent his use of suspected stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. While this war was strategically justified the real war between Iraq and the U.S. began long before what is officially recognized. The United States of America should not have invaded Iraq as it promoted the illegal exercise of government power and democracy, encouraged continuous genocide and violence, and empowered an extreme capitalist regime.…

    The United States needs to bring the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan. Their reasons for being at war are invalid because American company in the foreign countries is insubstantial; the U.S. government cannot afford the continuous costs of war, and has lost sight of aims.

    The Pros And Cons Of The US Invasion Of Iraq

    “The reason we invaded Iraq was for reasons far more than weapons of mass destruction. Saddam Hussein was a tyrant who waged many wars in the Middle East, supported and aided numerous Aab invasions of Israel, threatened to invade Saudi Arabia, overran Kuwait, and caused the UN to bring about sanctions against Iraq. Saddam was also known to have an extensive chemical weapons arsenal and has used several chemical weapons against his own people while suppressing many human…

    Pro War in Iraq

    I do not subscribe to the fashionable notion of moral equivalence between all deeply-held beliefs. I believe in the rights of the individual over the collective. I believe democracy is better than dictatorship, both morally and practically. Not necessarily democracy as we or the Americans or the French practice it, but the idea that in every possible practical way, you should let people make their own decisions, and if these decisions need to be circumscribed in any way, then you should only do it with the explicit approval of a majority of the people in question. And above all that a people must be able to change governments and leaders without resorting to force.…

    In the Time of the Butterflies

    "As Americans, we want peace -- we work and sacrifice for peace. But there can be no peace if our security depends on the will and whims of a ruthless and aggressive dictator. I'm not willing to stake one American life on trusting Saddam Hussein." -George W. Bush. President Bush promised America that he would bring down Saddam Hussein no matter what it took. But why? Why would the president make such an imposing promise? In order to ensure the safety of his people (the Americans) such terrorists must be brought down. President Bush was willing to sacrifice the lives of many heroic soldiers to halt terrorism from afflicting this country. Are the lives of these young brave soldiers worth the sacrifice that is needed to bring change into the corrupt government of Iraq? Sacrifice becomes necessary to achieve social change when there is loss of personal freedoms, abuse of power, and physical abuse. This is demonstrated by the revolutions in Nicaragua and Haiti as well as the novel, In the Time of the Butterflies, by Julia Alvarez.…

    Reasons For America's Invasion Of Iraq Dbq

    President Bush’s justification towards the invasion on Iraq in 2004 explicated that the main reason to invade Iraq was security measures. Bush was terrified for the citizens of his country and the rest of the world, as he thought Iraq was in control of nuclear weapons that could harm everyone. However, this was not a true reflection of America’s ambitions in Iraq. This essay will prove that America’s intentions into Iraq was largely the fact that Iraq was a major oil source for the world and if America could dominate this source they could have more authority than any other country. Bush’s administration also misstated information regarding Iraq’s possessions of any Weapons of Mass Destruction, and their links with Al Qaeda for this purpose.…

    President George W. Bush did something very important that has marked the United States hisorty. On March 19, 2003 he announced that war against Iraq had begun. In the primary document : Bush Declares War, the President gives a brief explaintion to the country into why he declared war with Iraq. He begain his justification for the war by explaining to all fellow citizens so everyone was aware. He started off by saying that the "country was in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq , to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger". In other words, not to cause harm but to actually defend us.…

    De-Baathification Of Iraq

    The 2003 invasion of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq by the United States will be viewed as failure by future generations. The United States absolutely had to take action to secure the unstable nation of Iraq, however the invasion was poorly planned and had tragic effects that would haunt the area for decades to come. After the invasion the United States made the unfortunate decisions to disband the Iraqi Army and remove all Baathist-party affiliates from their positions. The very critical successes that came from the aggressive actions of the U.S. were that Saddam Hussein was removed from power, terrorist organizations were disrupted, and Sunni soldiers and Iraqi forces worked with the United States military. It is obvious that these successes are tremendous…
