IRAQ WAR ? the meaning?

Question

655,000 people have been killed in Iraq so far, British and American soldiers are being attacked even today, peace has not achieved in the region, complete chaos, no weapons were found, and oil prices in west are still high. what have we are british achieved from this war ?

Answer 1

Well, we have to go back to Israel. We (Britain) caused the kick off with the Arabs and Jews. this led to a hatred among Arabs for us as we managed to promise Israel to both Jews and Arabs and still keep it for ourselves. This really got the Arabs going and now all Islamic states hate the way we treated the Palestinians and that led to another and another (with extremist parties being set up) and so we put Saddam in power in Iraq with America and now he has become a threat (we can't completely control him anymore) and we needed him out so that's it! Also oil was a big unofficial incentive and since we were in the neighbourhood (Afghanistan) why not Iraq?
Later when all hell broke loose we would be condemned even further by the UN (as if anyone actually cares as the don't have much power unless everyone is agreeing - for example see Rwandan Genocide) if we leave them to fight and win. The big question is that if there will always be extremists (yes) then will there ever be peace in the middle east as a whole not just Iraq?

Answer 2

A difficult question to answer as it is a sensitive issue.

Yes more civilians are killed in Iraq by their fellow Iraqi's.

We did not go to war for the oil, we went to war to prevent Saddam using weapons of mass distruction (OK they were not found), but the threat was there and he'd said he'd use them.

Regime change and oil being opened up to the markets are benefits of going to war.

You are right we need to secure the region and make it safe for the ordinary people of Iraq.

I did not support the 1991 as a teenager I was opposed to violence of this kind, I probably had the same thoughts then, as the hundreds of thousands of protestors in 2003.

But by 2003 I was able to make a judgemnt based on the evidence available and have been a frim supporter of the war and will support the allied troops and the actions of the allied countries all the time they are in Iraq.

Lets keep up the work to secure Iraq for it's future generations!!!

Answer 3

properly evaluate this. Bush had the optimal approval score of ANY president interior the background of our u . s . a .. Over ninety 3% of people supported him on September 20, 2001 while he stated "we can show no great distinction between the terrorists, and the international places who harbor them." the concern is that individuals replaced their minds approximately what they needed and predicted. So in 2006 they voted democrats into Congress to attempt and give up Bush from doing what they voted for him to do precisely 2 years till now! we've got a republican president with a 19% approval score and a Democratic led Congress with an 11% score.

Answer 4

All wars are futile. Also inordinately expensive in cash and lives.
If the instigators by which I mean the persons who make the decision to get involved, were compelled to serve in front line roles then there would be no more wars.
The real reason for the war about which you are talking is that Amerca/UK failed to do the job completely and take out Sadam the first time. The WMD's were just the excuse to go in and finish the job. Regrettably the leaders involved forgot their history, and failed to recognise the fact that it will probably be many years before we can safely withdraw our forces. That is without the area erupting into armed (local) conflict again immediately our troops are out. All the rest is just hype and misinformation.

Answer 5

Removed a dictator. Secured access to loads of oil, which we can now buy without giving money to an agressive regime. We have massive forces adjacent to Iran (our other enemy) so they're worried too.

It's a rough world out there. I know it's seems like we've accomplished nothing and paid a high price (nothing compared to Iraqis) but Imdon't think we should be passive.

Oil prices are high due to the increase in demand (China and India buying more as their economy develops).

Answer 6

British and American wants this war, If Iraq is peace they can't steal OIL that is why they push to fight each other

Answer 7

It's all about the oil and making weapons contractors and companies like Halliburton very rich. Dick cheney, G.W Bush, Tony Blair, Donald Rumsfeld, now that's an axis of evil.
I lived in America and loved the bumper sticker that said
"Vote Bush, All you get is Dick"

Answer 8

You know honey,that's a great question.And I ask myself that every time you know who gets up on t.v. and tries to convince everyone that what we are doing is right.If it's all about oil,then why couldn't we continue to get it from the Saudis?We all know the Bush's are in bed with them.This was a war because you know who said he wants to be known as the "war president"!Well, he's accomplished that and is known by many other things not so nice.He took down one dictator and replaced him with himself.Good question honey,and may God bless us all.

Answer 9

I am anti-bush to the fullest extremes, so pardon me if I say this, I believe we have not achieved much through this pointless war except having the whole world hating the USA. The only reason we have gone to war is b/c we have a war monger for a president, simple as that. Now I must stop with this subject b4 I get to carried away with it.

Answer 10

Who cares! We are at war - when we win and we will Iraq will be free and safe, and everyone will want the glory then!
