I guess this is for the democrats why shouldnt theyre be a war in Iraq.. wouldnt you want a stable government?

Answer 1

Democrat/Republican has very little to do with militarism, in fact, most republicans do not support Bush. I am a Republican, and think that the war in Iraq was a very bad idea, it is none of our business to be interfering with the affairs of other countries. If the Iraq war was for liberation, this sounds harsh, but if people don't think that their government is benefiting them, it is not only their right, but their duty to overthrow it, so if the Iraqis weren't overthrowing Hussein, we, as an outside party MUST assume that they believe their government is beneficial.

Answer 2

You are right that there should be a war so as to form a stable government but it is to be so only when the situation demands it. I honestly don`t think the situation in Iraq demanded a war. It was just an outward expression of anger against the september attack. The Americans politicians are concerned are only about thier safety. there are many terrorist organisations which owe their birth to American help. even now America supportsd some unscrupulous elements. It is high time that they realised their mistakes and acted upon resolutions with other countries than actnig alone and bringing the world untold sorrow.

Answer 3

Sure I would want a stable government in Iraq. That's what was there before we invaded. Saddam was great for stability. You could always count on him to kill his enemies. I call a reign of more than 20+ years fairly stable, especially for the middle east. Sure he was a mass-murderer and a generally unfriendly guy, but he kept control over a country with three opposing ethnic groups and was a key reason in keeping Iran quiet. He fought an 8 year war with them back in the day, in case you don't remember. They (arabs) call that the first gulf war. Technically, desert storm was the second and now we are in the third. So, yes I like a stable government in Iraq, and Saddam offered much more stability for us than their new government ever can.(because they can't kill people they way he did)

Answer 4

The US invaded Iraq under false pretences. There were no weapons of mass destruction and there was not connection to Al-Qaedi or 9/11. The invasion was unilateral (without UN approval as the first President Bush was careful to secure in 1990). It was preemptive, not justified by an offensive movement by Saddam and his government, but only because the neoconservatives wanted to take control of the Middle East. It was imperialistic, to add to the territory effectively controlled by the US.

But the three most important reasons we shouldn't still be there now are (1) It hasn't worked. Iraq is in worse shape now than when the US invaded, with no signs of things getting any better. Halliburton and other companies have made lots of money, but they wasted or pocketed much of it. No one else has profited.

(2) It has caused us to neglect Afghanistran and to spend much money that should have been directed toward protecting the US against terrorists--and other serious problems.

(3) Tens of thousands, perhaps over 100,000 innocent Iraqi civilians have been killed and over 2500 US troops. With no apparent reason, no success, and no justification. That has brought the US into sereious disrepute over the whole world, especially in the Middle East.

Answer 5

We have a semi-stable government here in the US. Iraq is not our problem. Why do we go bomb the place then help them rebuild. Instead of spending money rebuilding their cities, why doesn't the government take that money to the projects and ghettos in our own communities and rebuild there? The war is about oil anyway. Its about revenge. Its not about those people that were killed on 9/11. There are US soldiers dying everyday in Iraq. But our "wonderful" president doesn't seem to care at all about them does he? One gets shot down, send someone else back in their place.

Answer 6

Do you think the government in Iraq is stable now? There was a stable government ~ there hasn't been one since the war started. So I guess I don't understand you're question. It kind of answers itself.

Answer 7

Why wouldn't I want the war in Iraq? Because there hasn't been a VALID justification for the war given by the Bush Administration.

Answer 8

a war in iraq doesn't give us a stable government

Answer 9

I want to know why it was OUR responsibility not only to topple Saddam but stay there and do the crap they should be doing for themselves. It is all about not a stable government but a stable government that we control.

Answer 10

Stable government yes but lets not wait forever to get out. Enough lives have been lost.
