Do you think the USA and allies were justified in invading Iraq?

Question

If so, give your reasons, please. Thank you.

Answer 1

I think they should have invaded Afganistan they way they invaded Iraq!

Answer 2

No, the US has not had much luck puting the right people in power look at our track record. We keep backing the wrong people and then have to take them out. We should help when it doesn't cost lives. Helping an underground movement there would have been a better idea if we didn't start it. Civil War is going to happen and we can't stop it. So my question is Now What? Will the every day Iraqie get any more say then we do?

Answer 3

Ouch ! ! difficult question.

No regarding the US government. You would have to ask yourself if the government of the USA would have made the decision to invade if it were not for the oil?

However, regarding the troops of the USA and allies, I feel very strongly that these men and women are there for the right reasons * * * * All of our troops are exceptional individuals that unselfishly would give their lives to protect the innocent, and make their lives better regardless if it were Iraq or another place in the world.

Answer 4

They may have been justified when they first invaded Iraq but now its overkill. Nothing is being accomplished except loss of lives for both Americans and Iraq people. I think its time to go and let the Iraq people stand on their own.

Answer 5

YES!!! The world nations were under the belief that Irag had
Weapons of mass destruction and was working on a nuclear
program in violation of the UN sanctions against IRAQ after the 1st Gulf War.

Answer 6

Not really, they should have gone after Bin Laden first. Sadaam was minding his own business, no i don't support or condone what he was doing, but he had laws just like we do. They knew over there if they say anything crazy about him it was a wrap, they would be dead, just like the women knew if they didn't wear veils and looked men in the eye, they may as well hang it up. Like i said yeah it was outrageously wrong, cruel and crazy, but all the same we know he had no ties to 9/11 maybe after we resolved that, but Bush had that as the first thing on his agenda, Bin Laden just opened up the door for him.

Answer 7

no, the united states picked on Iraq. Bush just wanted to show us scared americans that something was being done about 911 and just look at where we are now.some people dont like to admit it but we are losing this war. we are fighting people who live to die. we know that they didn't do the 911 thing. there has got to be several other countries harboring terrorists, but we didn't go after them. The U.S harbors terrorists. Guaranteed they are right here waiting on the day to strike

Answer 8

Yes, absolutely
the u.s. made a statement, one aimed at the middle east (done in the 80's with Libya): you f..k with us and we will never leave your country- Since our process of liberating the Iraqis, no terrorist attacks have been made on u.s. soil
It's worked so far!!!
was there really anyone out there stupid enough to believe that Iraq would be advanced enough to successfully use and even conceal weapons of mass destruction???

Answer 9

Absolutely not. It's just another "Let's save the world because we think we're so freaking almighty" thing of Bush's. He's turned it into almost a religious crusade at times, saying things like we've gotta save them or something. Plus, do things really seem like they've actually improved since we came? It's for the oil.

Answer 10

Yes. Saddam was let lose too long. There are a few other countries we need to invade too. Like Iran, Saudi Arabia etc.

Answer 11

Yes, not for WMDs, not for links to terror, but because Saddam needed to be ousted from power and tried for events in Halabja. Still, I think the timing could've been better. I also think that the administration needs to stop talking about purported and subsequently non-existent WMDs, and just fess up and say, "Hey? Saddam needed to be ousted, plain and simple."
