Should Britain of entered Iraq?

Question

did Britain do the right thing by going side by side with America in the Iraq war.

Answer 1

No we shouldn't of entered Iraq!!

We should of NUKED THE CRAP HOLE INSTEAD.
Then all our brave Men and Women would still be alive today, and we would of gained another Desert.

Answer 2

Tony Blairs sycophancy of george bush and his desire to be taken seriously after a mediocre primeminstership are certainly major factors for our part in the coalition.
However, I support wholeheartedly my countrys involvement in the occupation.
Helping to install democracy anywhere in the world and allowing a nation to exist with freedom is a reason that many noble wars have been fought.
A western friendly democratic govt in iraq will mean guarantees of essential mineral resources for the west for decades to come.
The revenues of which will benefit mostly the free ppl of iraq.
The occupation was certainly just, despite a certain "spin" attatched to manipulate public support(used for centuries) for its ultimate own good.
Finally, when a great and noble ally such as USA calls upon us ,then I am proud to be at its side.
USA , an ally of argentina and britain had the painful decision of who to side with during the falklands conflict.
Without the U.S. supplied sidewinder missile the falkland islands would not have been recovered.Not to mention mid air refuelling of our aircraft and supply of military intelligence,
Although its motives are questionable, without usa intervention during ww2 britain would have been forced to surrender to the germans.
One of the greatest beneficiaries of US economy , military might and global influence is the united kingdom.
You may not feel this in your everyday life , but without it you woudl be better off in albania.So please dont take for granted everything you dont understand.
Unlike the filthy coward french, when duty calls I am proud that britain is yet again there at the front

Answer 3

Britain bought the garbage of WMDs, and it was good that they supported the US, but as we all now know there were no WMDs.So if Britain decided that losing their soldiers is now not worth being there. Then it would not bother me if they said sorry George but we are out of here, Brits are our friends, but they don't have to be our fools.

Answer 4

there will always be fors and against the war my opinion is yes someone had to deal with saddam or we would have been saying now why has no one dealt with him he can get away with invading Kuwait,murdering his people and we just stood and watch i can see the headlines now.
saddams committed genocide in Iraq while the world watched.
really no one will win this argument will they.

Answer 5

Britain has a long history of standing up to totalitarianists.

How 'bout you?

Answer 6

" Should Britain of entered Iraq?"

You surely mean

" Should Britain have entered Iraq?"

...and the obvious answer is no, of course not.
There is no sustainable argument for having done so - no WMD, the current state of Iraq is possibly worse for those who live there, Saddam was only one of several dictators in the world (he did have resources worth stealing).
You must realise that George Bush Snr had unfinished business...at last GWB has pleased his Daddy after a lifetime of failure....and Blair led us in to support him.
Pathetic.

Answer 7

the majority of our populous said no. more people voted no then they did for labour. we wasnt a target to terrorists since the IRA until we helped america.
i think saddam killed a lot of people ...and deserved to die...but why wa she there anyway?
since the war started america and britain have killed over 650,000 civilians. and thats...just not acceptable. who do we hang for this stat?
i think as those countrys members we too much take responsiblity. you can say i didnt vote for blair its not my fault. but many of us myself included didnt vote for anyone else. we have the power and everyone moans about the goverment. but we are cowards. we think thats wrong but i have work that i cant miss as then ill have to work overtime to pay my TV lisense. or parking fee. why do you think most people who demonstate are studnets or volunteers? too consumed in our own goals and wealth

Answer 8

I think for the sake of the Iraqi people Saddam should have been eliminated but the cost in allied lives is far to high we should have given the Iraqis the means to do it themselves.

Answer 9

hell no it was wrong ,too many people died since the war from the boath sides iraqies and (brit's and amer's) .
and for those who think it was right i invite them to come here to iraq to live this hell they put us in.

Answer 10

Yes, and every other country that is with us that make up the coalition too.
