Answer 1

The basics are that we are in Iraq for money, oil and becuase Israel told us to go there. There is no connection between 9/11 and Iraq. Soldiers are dieing becuase they are fought by insurgents and are in the middle or a civil war between Sunnis and Shiites and they are mostly killed by roadside bombs. If you want more specifics, read below.

We are in Iraq for multiple reasons. First off, it makes a very good diversion away from the issue of tax cuts, a policy that has dug a hole in the US economy that later presidents and generations will have to fix while large corporations run away with profits. Secondly, there are oil fields in Iraq that could be tapped by the the same companies that make profits from tax cuts. Last of all, Israel wanted to becuase they saw Iraq as a threat and they usually benefit from chaos in the region. Israel has a strong presence in the US government. They are the most successful lobbyists in Congress. Look up AI PAC on Google (American Israeli Public Affairs Council).

Iraq has no connection to September 11th. In fact, Osama bin Laden hated Saddam Hussein becuase his government was secular and he was put into power and subsidized by the United States during the 1980's during their war with Iran. They tried to make a connection to legitimize the war. If you say the same two names in the smae sentence over and over, eventually people begin to believe they are related some how.

Many soldiers are dieing becuase they are fighting with insurgents in Iraq and have been caught up in a current civil war. After the invasion, the Iraqi army was disbanded. This left Iraq with no standing army or police force to help govern along with Americans. Many of the disbanded soldiers were Sunnis. They now fuel the Sunni insurgency in Iraq. The Shiites have taken a large powerful position in the new government and slowly the situation has deteriorated into a civil war between Sunni groups and Shiite groups.

Most soldiers now are killed in bombing, particularly roadside IED's (Improvised Explosive Devices). They go off next to convoys and send shrapnel through The trucks and Humvees.

I hope I helped.

Answer 2

There is no connection between Iraq and September 11 as well Iraq has no weapon of mass destruction(which was the declared purpose of the war).
The real reasons of the war against Iraq are:
1.Personal reason (i.e) Bush hates Saddam.
2.Petrol. Iraq is No2 which has oil reserve in the world.
3.Security.To maintain and ensure high Israeli security level in the middle east(and not for the interest of USA).

Answer 3

9/11 was carried out by El Quida and they were not in Iraq when we were attacked, they were primarily in Afganistan and a fewe in some other countries. Our patriotic chickenhawk vice president Dick Cheney has tried mightly to confuse people on this. I do not know cheney's mind/motives so I can't call him a liar, but the man is seriously wrong and has done a great misservice to this country.

Answer 4

Hold on their little lady, just, "Stay the course" and we'll be just fine. (smirk)

P.S. Although I am a soldier, I can not complain about the death toll in this conflict. We have lost fewer than 3,000 soldiers, which by comparison, is nothing for a war.

Answer 5

Well 911 happened because the USA has been attacking the middle east for decades. The middle east finally did something about it.

Answer 6

We did invade then withdrew. Now we invaded and are occupying. a million. Saddam grew to become into as quickly as only complete for crimes in opposition to humanity... a number of those crimes were dedicated interior the 80s or previously. sure, whilst he grew to become into as quickly as on the U. S. payroll and grew to become into as quickly as supported in his attack on Iran. 2. Gulf conflict 1989 - Saddam invades Kuwait and we flow in and run him out.... suitable. He additionally had WMDs on the time. sure, we knew approximately the WMD's with the aid of reality we even however had the receipts for them. He gave up his WMD's whilst the inspectors went in and grew to become into as quickly as decrease than no situations deceptive approximately them in the slightest degree. He cooperated completely with UN inspection communities. The Kuwait factor grew to become into as quickly as thoroughly to preserve Saudi oil. 3. Now he's complete and Iraq is occupied for those crimes and violations... Why did no longer we do it then? it somewhat is all reveal! we don't care approximately that petty crime he grew to become into as quickly as complete for in the slightest degree. This grew to become into as quickly as a PR stunt basic and sensible, a dumb one that backfired thoroughly... We did no longer do it then for the equivalent reason we did no longer do it to individuals like Trujillo interior the Dominican Republic, Somoza in Nicaragua, Marcos interior the Philippines, Duvalier in Haiti, the Saudi royal companion and youngsters and many distinctive brutal killers we help or have supported.
