The Importance Of Solving The Iraq Invasion Of 2003

Decent Essays
The Iraq invasion on the 2003 was definitely a total mistake, it just lead to losses, waste of money and other. Is not on the national interest of the United States to being trying to involve in all the conflicts that are around the world because these are going to affect the nation in general. 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

    However this wasn’t all great, even though we installed a new government in Iraq it didn’t really help the country that much. It was unstable before and almost just as much after as not all want to obey a democratic government or support the way it works. This is why we still have a presence there and are still trying to stabilize the country. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq following the 9/11 attacks also lead to many civilian casualties in the countries they were fought in. During the Iraq war alone 10s of thousands of civilians casualties were reported (doc 9).…

    The consequences from the Iraq War resulted with 2,500 American deaths, tens of thousands of death of Iraqis many being civilians, humanitarian crisis, political and economic negative consequences, etc. President Bush’s reason to invade Iraq was to spread liberty around the world and to make world peace. After researching, many people do not truly do not think we had a legitimate enough reason to invade Iraq. I believe this goes back to the mentality America has of overthrowing foreign governments for ideological, political, and economic reasons. In my opinion, the Iraq War was the most compelling case for his argument of long term failure.…

    George H.W Bush promised that there would be no new taxes, but as the national debt increased, Bush called for new taxes and urged people to reduce spending. This outraged many conservatives and people who had voted for him in hopes of lower taxes. As a result of the soaring tax rates, the economy fell into a recession in 1981. Unemployment rates went up and many businesses went bankrupt. I don’t think Bush handled this well at all.…

    The war on terror was always part of the United States. We have always fought terrorists and wanted to bring them to justice. However, the attacks of 9/11 gave the United States a push to find who did this and bring this to justice. Before the attacks the United States were basically playing world policeman, after the attacks President Bush declared that it was an act of terrorism and they would bring the terrorists to justice. The attacks of 9/11 changed the nation’s views toward terrorists and brought about a sense of nationalism throughout the citizens of the United States.…

    The invasion of Iraq in 2001 at the order of president Bush as a response to the attack of the twin towers in New York city was a display of the power of the American military; for within weeks the American army had overrun the Iraqi military and toppled Saddam Hussein who was accused of participating in the attacks on American soil and also accused of harboring weapons of mass destruction. This military display of power by America and its western allies despite insufficient evidence could be said to have created respect for America in the Middle Eastern countries. However, the argument can be made that this caused mistrust and disrespect for America. Without any evidence of weapons of mass destruction captured, the united states had become a bully. It had fulfilled the saying “ absolute power corrupts absolutely.…

    c-The threat of terror can use as anticipatory self-defense Another justification used by USA in the war with Iraq that Iraq has linked with terrorist organization, the evidences cited in the report shows that Hussein supported a number of terrorists and a terrorist be an active not merely a passive supporter of the attack. These two statements illustrate the extent to which the U.S regards WMD and terrorism as being the paramount threats of our time. It is for this reason that the U.S and its allies cited the possession of WMD and links to terrorism as justifying the use of force against Iraq, under the doctrine of self-defense. The U.S. military's first and only study looking into ties between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and al Qaeda showed no connection between the two, according to a military report released by the Pentagon, the report released by the Joint Forces Command five years after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, said it found no smoking gun after reviewing about 600,000 Iraqi documents captured in the invasion.…

    The reasons for the United States invading Iraq were complicated, but the major ones at-least were because the US believed that Iraq posed a threat to the peace of the west and the belief that Iraq had large quantities of poison gas and possibly a nuclear weapons program. If left unchecked, Saddam Hussein and Iraq could have become incredibly dangerous with the knowledge that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. On the other hand, there are many reasons the United States shouldn't have invaded Iraq. The belief that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction wasn't confirmed.…

    In order to understand “War on Terror” and how it began, one must first go back to understand when it all began. On September 11, 2001 the country faced what has been one of the strongest attacks against America. On that day Americans first witnessed what would be something that would mark the country forever. The American life changed for good, people no longer felt protected or at peace. It was no longer the same; it was as though something had been taken away from them.…
