The U.S should start learning to solve conflict peacefully first because that is the best way to solve a problem, not by force, and demanding other countries to do something that the United States wants those to do. There is a great quote from The Iraq War and Its Consequences by Wang Gungwu, Irwin Abrams and it says “Terrorism cannot be defeated by the use of force alone…. Human conflicts should be resolved with compassion. The key should be the use…

There were good reason that Canada was right to refuse to participate in the war on Iraq. It was based on lies, led to disasters and it was a counterproductive war. Many things started to go…
