How has our invasion and occupation of Iraq increased (or decreased) our national security?

Question

Give specifice examples/ideas not rambling nonsense.

(An example of it harming the nation would be the troops and our resources have become exhausted.)

Answer 1

I think in has increased, now we are more open to terror attacks in retaliation of our presence in the middle east

Answer 2

OUr diplomatic stance in the World is now a joke. OUr troops are spread too thin. Ports, and borders at home are as safe as they were on 9/11, we are in more debt and thus can't afford to truly FIX our domestic situation. Our government has resorted to Scare Tactics, to further their strategy of confusion and my brothers must now place themselves in harms way, because of a promise they made to this country during another Presidency. While my brothers place their lives on the line to ensure our freedoms here at home, I endeavor to creat accountability in the USG so that the only time they are asked to do this again is FOR A TRUE REASON.

Answer 3

The people who hate us have calmed down for a while. They are the military-industrial complex. With the war in Iraq, they get to raid our Treasury, oppress the Iraqi people, steal their oil and kill our young soldiers to feed their greed.

Since they hate us more than anything, they will be satisfied only as long as they get to rape us in this fashion. As soon as their violent bloodfest is over and they can no longer gorge on the US Treasury warchest, they will attack us again so we have not improved our safety at all.

Answer 4

> US have more enemies than ever >>> Decreased national security.

> US is ready for the enemies more than ever >>> Increased national security.

Answer 5

Every time a soldier dies or a human is tortured, I feel safer.
