Is The Iraqi Invasion An Act Of Terror?

Question

Falluja was destroyed along with countless civilians. 2 million are displaced in the Arabian desert. The UN has a new poppet. GW Bush is an American hero and will go to Heaven?

Answer 1

Of course it is. We used the same kind of thinking "we are going to shock and awe them and make them afraid"

War is a terrorist act.

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, so we were not "fighting back" and anyone who thinks we were is a moron.

AFGANISTAN was fighting back. Going against the taliban and al-queda was fighting back. Al-queda actually tried to have saddam killed once.

Answer 2

Terrorism is an act that targets civilians and generates fear and unstability. The Iraq invasion target the Iraqi government and involved uniformed military fighting uniformed military. By definition, that is conventional warfare. When the U.S. firebombed Tokyo in World War 2 could be considered an act of terror, but nothing we have done in Iraq so far fits that definition. Even now, in the middle of an insurgency, we still don't target civilians. They still get killed, but you can't stop that when all the fighting is in urban areas. Especially when the insurgents specifically target civilian areas to maximize casualties because it gets them in the news.

Answer 3

Yes it is an illegal act of war. Just try to imagine what the response would be if another country tried to effect a regime change in this country because they didn't like the way we do things here.It is not our business to try and impose our way of government on other countries when we wouldn't tolerate it ourselves.

Answer 4

The worst thing about this war is it happened when the Republicans were in control. If the Democrats were in control they could bomb hospitals and subdivisions without worrying about whining idiots such as yourself, the way we did in Yugoslavia under Clinton.

Answer 5

Had the Americans lost, it would have been called that, but they beat Saddam's army, so it was a "liberation" and a "regime change." History is written by the victors.

Answer 6

the USA invaded a country as they did not agree with its systems and leader, just like bombers killing americans because they do not agree with its systems and leader. just because the USA has made anti-terrorism laws, does not mean that they can enforce them on others.

its like if you didnt take your shoes off in your house, but I did. just because you didnt believe in my rule, would you walk into my house with your shoes on, knowing my displeasure? expect a problem...

so invading a country because your laws say its ok, does not mean it is legal. only to you is it ok.
Saddam is gone, get the hell out, before you expose yourselves as the heavy weights of global domination and terror that you are.

globalisation has created angst of a huge amount. as people get closer they cannot avoid the problems of difference.

to 4 more years: you are a clone of the propaganda machine. do you believe in racial cleansing and inbreeding too? dont believe everything you hear or read. propaganda works because of the gullible in society, people like you.

Answer 7

Well, there's no such thing as an act of peace.

Peace is the absence of WAR... Therefor no action is needed!

Answer 8

yes . and for all those morons that keep going on about UN resolutions the UN declared the war to be illegal so what can they say about that. USA think the UN is there puppet .

Answer 9

depending on which school of thought u prefer, one nation's hero is another's terrorist; osama bin laden calls american's "crusaders" refering of course to the crusades and holy wars.

Answer 10

yes it was a act of war based on lies
