What are the major easons behind the war in Iraq?

Question

I'm working on a persuasive paper and I need help supprting why the war has positive reasons. If any1 can help me please do!!!

Answer 1

Because as is almost all of the expressions of internally pent-up emotions buried deep withing the unconcious levels of our minds just waiting for the correct reasons to completely release those forces. And perhaps it would have been worse for the nation to repress more, hold in more, after the towers. We probably would have destroyed our government if it hadn't let us go. The lesson? Respect. Get hit in the dark and punch back in the dark. What else was to be expected? That we would have taken a more mature route and tolerated another attack that begs to be responded to. It is a lesson to everyone even us... if an ant bites an elephant and then gets stomped on... or, his neighbor who just happened to be there?

Answer 2

The main reason was enforcing UN mandate 1441 (not positive on this number) about Iraq and Saddam Husseun giving up all weapons of mass destruction. Which everyone in the intelligence community and even his own Generals thought he still had.

Answer 3

F-22 Raptor has it right. Another thing to add, by going to Iraq it gives the US a forward operating base for dealing with Iran. Now They won't come out and say as much, however it has to have been a definite plus.

Answer 4

First and most important, we got rid of an evil dictator that was killing thousands of his own people. Iraq is more prosperous now than it was during Saddams time and theres less death. Oil exports have grown, resolting in more money for the country. There is one less country that terriest can use for a base. It has prevented more attacks on the US. And we found over 500 weapons that are illegal (such as WMD's). These are just a few.

Answer 5

We are sending millions of barrels of oil to the US. About 1/2 of all Iraqi oil comes here. You have to remember they shut us off, and gave the contracts to the French and Russian's, the real reason for the war!

Answer 6

Bush wanted to be a war president, Rumsfeld wanted to test his theories, as did Cheney and Wolfewitz.

Positive reasons -- there is always the brilliant we are fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here or bringing democracy to the middle east will stop terrorism.

Answer 7

4.) Giving girls the right to go to school for the first time in the country's history.
