If we killed Suidam Husein(I think that's how it's spelled) who we thought had the weapons in the beggining..?

Question

and then we killed him......then why are we still fighting. Why do we have to make their country better and make them change their way of living to the way we do things here in the U.S. Being over there isn't gonna stop terrorist anyway, right? There could be terrorist that are already here in the U.S just waiting on their opportunity. But what is being over there fighting helping? I don't understand and it's really depressing to see that we are fighting a war and losing people for what seems like absolutely nothing.

Answer 1

Yea, we did kill Saddam Hussein. Yes, we should be leaving but, at this point we have just created more problems and we need to fix them before we can leave. We can't just pull out and say "Here, you fix it." If we do that, it could send the whole Middle East into war. Nobody wants that.

Part of the reason that we continue our occupation, though some people may contradict me, is that we want cheap oil. People out there may deny it but most of us happen to know the truth. We as a people are very lazy and greedy and we depend on others to fuel our way of life, no pun intended. More of our products are imported than exported and it is placing us further and further in debt. Add the war to that equation and you have a huge problem.

The government continues to send troops into Iraq in hopes that that will solve the problems there regarding insurgency and terrorism. From what I've read, this won't solve anything. We need to create a better military and police force in Iraq to restore order. The current government cannot function if there is no order. Right now, the situation in Iraq is such a mess and we are tno taking the right stpes to fix our mistakes. Sadly, we can't just leave becuase first off, we have to fix what we've messed up and second, no one wants to take the responsibility from us. So, I understand where you're coming from and I understand your point. We SHOULDN"T be there any more but we are and we're not fixing the problems at hand, we are just creating new ones. I hope that we can achieve peace in Iraq at some point in my lifetime but I'm beginning to doubt it.

Good Luck in your quest for answers and I hope my answer has provided some insight into the problem. Peace be with you!

Answer 2

The Iraqi insurgency refers to the armed resistance by diverse groups within Iraq to the US occupation of Iraq and to the establishment of a liberal democracy. The fighting has clear Sectarian overtones and significant international implications. This asymmetric war is being waged by Iraqi rebels, almost certainly with assistance from both foreign governments most likely Iran and Syria. The campaign, called the Iraqi resistance by its supporters, and anti-Iraqi forces by its opponents especially the Iraqi Government and the Coalition forces is accused of numerous human rights violations. The insurgency began shortly after the 2003 US Invasion of Iraq and before the establishment of a new sovereign Iraqi government. Originally, the insurgents targeted only coalition forces and the interim government formed under the occupation, but as the fighting continued, the insurgents have targeted anyone they feel supports the current democratically elected Iraqi government. The insurgency seems to have widespread support, even though most Iraqis welcomed the US invasion. According to a recent poll, 47% of the Iraqi population approve of the attacks on Coalition forces, but not of attacks on Iraqi security forces, or civilians. When broken down along sectarian lines, a remarkable 88% of Sunni Arabs approve of the attacks, while other groups do not support the attacks at all. the Sunni minority controlled the government of Iraq during the administration of Saddam Hussein.
The Sunni Islamists are composed of Iraqis belonging to the Ikhwan movement and/or the Salafi branch of Sunni Islam, who advocate a return to the pure Islam of the time of the Prophet Mohammed and oppose any foreign non-Muslim influence. The beliefs of Salafi Islam are roughly similar to the Wahabi sect of nearby Saudi Arabia (of which Osama bin Laden is a member). One difference is that Salafis in Iraq do not usually condone intolerance towards the Shi'a. A document found in Zarqawi's safe house indicates that the terrorist group was trying to provoke the U.S. to attack Iran in order to reinvigorate the insurgency in Iraq and to weaken American forces in Iraq. The question remains, how to draw the Americans into fighting a war against Iran? An article in The Washington Post, published on August 20, 2006, reported that a full-blown Iraq civil war might result in the death of hundreds of thousands of people and turn millions of people into refugees. The ethnic unrest could also spill over to the rest of the region, with "copycat secession attempts" in neighbouring countries, such as Kuwait, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, as these countries have similar ethnic diversity.

Answer 3

Have you ever heard of the Korean War? It's pretty similar. The U.S. wants to make every country democratic and free their people. The same thing happened with Iraq. It was a communist country, and the U.S. wanted to get rid of Saddam. We didn't only go for WMD, but also because he had killed hundreds of thousands, but also he was very dangerous. Next up, North Korea.

Answer 4

perchance because theist is suggested otherwise to atheist. The atheist makes the ei sound like "e" somewhat of "a" yet i'm no longer completely confident that it truly is the reason. perchance that is real, as creatrix shows, that atheists are for some reason more effective perfect spellers. If it were it would want to really bring about atheist being spelt incorrectly more effective in many cases as atheists use the be conscious theist somewhat in many cases even as all and diverse makes use of the be conscious atheist.

Answer 5

you seem kind of young.. yet you realize more about the War in Iraq than most adults.. unfortunately the answers don't get any easier with age. We'll see if Iraq was just a mistake or part of something bigger by choice or chance in the years to come.. as for now there are no answers.. just more questions.
