war in iraq?

Question

is it just or not just ? why?

Answer 1

Just a bully country attacking a bad apple country, to show the world, that it can attack counties it doesn't like.

Answer 2

Those that would make the point of "Dictator Cruelty" to justify the Iraq invasion must first look at all the other cruel dictatorships that have and are slaughtering millions of people. Why aren't we going in anywhere else? Iraq has some of the richest crude oil in the world with a potential for a great deal of refined fuels. On the other hand Somalia doesn't have any, Rwanda (800,000 deaths) didn't have any. Are we concerned about Darfur in Sudan. Does anyone even know what is going on there?

Answer 3

It's an unjust, unconstitutional, and illegal 'war' that should never had been instigated in the first place. The U.S. doesn't even understand the Shiite/Sunni cultures that have created this civil war for the past 1400 years. We're there only for one reason: OIL - and that's not even an acceptable one. -RKO-

As early as April 1987, the Iraqis used chemical weapons to remove Kurds from their villages in northern Iraq during the Anfal campaign. It is estimated that chemical weapons were used on approximately 40 Kurdish villages, with the largest of these attacks occurring on March 16, 1988 against the Kurdish town of Halabja.

Beginning in the morning on March 16, 1988 and continuing all night, the Iraqis rained down volley after volley of bombs filled with a deadly mixture of mustard gas and nerve agents on Halabja. Immediate effects of the chemicals included blindness, vomiting, blisters, convulsions, and asphyxiation. Approximately 5,000 women, men, and children died within days of the attacks. Long-term effects included permanent blindness, cancer, and birth defects. An estimated 10,000 lived, but live daily with the disfigurement and sicknesses from the chemical weapons.

Saddam Hussein's cousin, Ali Hassan al-Majid was directly in charge of the chemical attacks against the Kurds, earning him the epithet, "Chemical

On August 2, 1990, Iraqi troops invaded the country of Kuwait. The invasion was induced by oil and a large war debt that Iraq owed Kuwait. The six-week, Persian Gulf War pushed Iraqi troops out of Kuwait in 1991. As the Iraqi troops retreated, they were ordered to light oil wells on fire. Over 700 oil wells were lit, burning over one billion barrels of oil and releasing dangerous pollutants into the air. Oil pipelines were also opened, releasing 10 million barrels of oil into the Gulf and tainting many water sources. The fires and the oil spill created a huge environmental disaster.

Saddam Hussein, the president of Iraq from 1979 until 2003, has gained international notoriety for torturing and murdering thousands of his own people. Hussein believes he ruled with an iron fist to keep his country, divided by ethnicity and religion, intact. However, his actions bespeak a tyrannical despot who stopped at nothing to punish those who opposed him.

Having been captured, Saddam Hussein will now be tried for his past crimes. Though prosecutors have hundreds of crimes to choose from, these five are some of Hussein's most heinous
