Do you think the war in iraq is just?

Answer 1

No. Thousands of innocent people have been killed so Bush could work on his agenda. Iraq posed no threat, did not communicate a threat, had no WMD, yet Bush invaded a sovereign nation without provocation. Then he has the nerve to say we should go with the world in response to the North Korean problem, in that they just do what they want. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Answer 2

It is if it results in a conviction for Saddam Hussein, on charges of crimes against humanity.

If anything, Saddam deserved to be ousted, much like Slobodan Milosevic. He was a war criminal. Yet, maybe it would've been more efficient if the UN did it. The Iraq war has costed America in lives and allies. Whether or not there were WMDs doesn't concern me, and it never has. I never liked Saddam, or the things he did, or the way he ran the country of Iraq, and you can justify the war for one reason or another, but I kinda wish there was more support from the world. I think with the fact that the administration has tried to beat around the bush (no pun intended) by mentioning WMDs has costed us moral support. Iraq definitely had ties to terrorism. I mean, where was Zarqawi found? Iraq! So, yeah, it had merit, but the timing might've been slightly in error.

Answer 3

You not only have to be very ignorant of the facts to think the war in Iraq was just.
The one and SINGLE thing that the US went to war with Iraq was because they had "WMDs." And evidently it turns out they didn't have any, and were not able to even produce them since 98-99 because of the US sanctions.
Therefore the war in Iraq is not just on that most basic level due to the fact that the whole reason they went to war was on lies and deceit.
After a major propaganda effort pulled by the American press and government, the majority of Americans were afraid of the threat of Saddam's WMD, and believed that he had connections to 911. Interesting to note that Kuwait and all the boarder states around Iraq were not scared at Saddam at all-just goes to show you the level of fear installed by the AMerican press and government.
Also counter evidence that showed that Saddam had NOTHING To do with 911 was ignored by the press and government.

PS
Osama BIn Laden and Saddam do have one connection though.......they both were supported by the US...........

Answer 4

I am very torn on this one. I believe that we should have gone to war yes, because the al-quida shouldn't get aways with what they did to our country(911). I think that we went into Iraq for Bush's selfish reasons that began way before 911. For goodness sakes we still don't have Bin Laden. They had amble warning to get rid of their weapons, so that was a lost cause. I do think that capturing Saddam was just because he has killed tons of people. But WHAT HAPPEN TO TRYING TO FIND BIN LADEN!!! Come on now this is ridiculous. And by the way my husband went to Iraq and fought for this stupid war and I still fill this way and He believed in this war. I just don't understand politics, actually I HATE THEM!!! Sorry I am very opinionated. PEACE OUT!!

Answer 5

No. Bush is trying to finish what his daddy started. He went into Iraq under a certain pretense, found out it was groundless, then proceeded to occupy the country anyway to try to make up for the mistake. Not only that, but the great "democracy" we are setting up there is more of a theocracy (it puts everyone below the law and it puts the law below the Koran), and I recommend that whoever sees this look up what the Iraqi constitution actually says. I can't believe we are still over there making the sons and daughters of our nation die for something so against what America stands for.

For those who think Saddam was "Pure Evil" look up what he actually did for that country instead of buying into the traditional media B.S..

Answer 6

Absolutely not. Young Americans who could be contributing to our society are over there dying fighting a war that nobody wants to be involved in. When you ask people from other countries what they think of the U.S. now, all they say is that they hate Bush, and they are against the war. Why are we there? To protect ourselves? Or does Bush have his own agenda, gaining oil and watching out for his retirement?

Answer 7

I absolutely do not. I feel we had no reason to invade that country, there were no weapons of mass destruction or anything that was an imminent threat to our safety. If the Iraqi's needed our help they would have asked. I think it was all a smoke screen for personal issues between Bush, his father and Hussein and his oil. Bin Laden was and is a very serious threat to our country and Bush has done nothing about it.

Answer 8

Nope. I mean, when 911 happened, ok, then yeah, we needed to vent and needed to go after the morons who sent the terrorists. Where we went wrong was when President Bush opted to go after Saddam Hussein rather than hunting Bin Laden down. At that point, I believe, our objectives changed and rather than lose face with the American public, President Bush let the fight continue. Hussein is in prison, so why are we still there? Where's Bin Laden? He's never been found.

Answer 9

First of all...its Hussein. Second, of course its just! Saddam Hussein is a war criminal! He harbored criminals and developed weapons of mass destruction. All of you hating on George W. seem ridiculous. He is the President of the Superpower of the world. He is the example that the entire world looks to! If he doesn't stand up and fight for freedom, who will? Don't even try to say that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Saddam's advisors gave him up and told U.S. officials that there were, and they moved them into Syria before UN inspectors arrived. George W. Bush is a man of honor, and is right to stand for freedom, and contest anyone who threatens our right to it!

Answer 10

YES YES YES . Unfinished business, from 92.I think by letting him stay in power the first time we let other think we are weak and weakness or percieved weakness invites attack.Tell me why do people get mugged or any other form of assault ?Because the perps think they can get away with it. Sad but true. Hitler was crazy not stupid there is no way he would have started WW2 if he knew 5 yrs later he would be having a lead sanwich!He did it because its what he thought get away with.No one does anything stupid with pistols pointed at them unless they want to die and the only thing for people like that is sadly to kill them.Thats is what they want only to take as many of their foes as they can and not all people are willing to let buttheads get away with it.
