Honest before God, was President Bush right and fair in attacking Iraq?

Question

I wonder how Americans will act if they were attacked, defeated and occupied by Iraqis.

Please answer this questions as candidly as possible.

Answer 1

Honest before GOD , I have been following this question the last few days , & I just have to know where some of you folks get your information? Is it all accumulated from somebody's blog , or just opinions developed w no foundation in the facts?

If you want to solve a conspiracy , please figure out who really killed JFK.........where do people get this stuff that 9/11 never happened , or it was done by the US government , there weren't any bodies you say !! Clearly someone making that statement was not at any of the crash sites.

The Iraqis are not fighting to get us out of their country , & the country is not in shambles either....unless you are calling the returning service members liars ??

There have been more schools , roads, hospitals & other infrastructure built & rebuilt than existed previously. The Iraqi people are working shoulder to shoulder w our troops achieving these projects.

Most of the Iraqi people are under attack just as our troops are by the insurgents who have moved in to fill the power vacuum & set up shop for their causes.

Returning soldiers have spoken of digging up caches of nerve gas......(WMD) are they liars as well?

There is nothing about the war that is illegal or that constitutes an impeachable offense no matter how much disdain you may hold for the President.

He did the right & fair thing....including telling Saddam EXACTLY when we would be coming if he failed to observe UN decrees. So were the other nations who sent troops to Iraq, this wasn't just a US event, contrary to your beliefs.

The truth is available if you are willing to accept some of the facts which destroy your allegations, & get knowledge from more than just one source. Love ya !! & God Bless America!!

Answer 2

Saddam was in the wrong, just look at all the violations he made under the cease fire agreement (16-18 different things or activities he was not allow to do/continue). He never let the UN search unrestricted as was required for his weapons stock piles. Our planes and the British where being fired upon on a monthly, then weekly basis enforcing the no fly zone.

If you sign a agreement advising that you will do/allow certain things or activities you had better follow it.

We made it clear we were not attacking Iraq's civilians but attacking there leader and government body that continued to defy UN regulations after several years of new second chances. That is why the civilians population viewed us and saviors when we first over took the country.

Personally what needs to be done, we need to get out of the city's and let their government enforce the law while we close and watch the boarders to prevent new problems coming in. They would eventually get things reined in. Then after they have a military that could stand on its own, IE protect them against Iran and Syria, we can safely leave.

Answer 3

Bush was wrong in attacking Iraq.No people accept his own country to be invaded and occupied by any other nation whatsoever the reasons are.
Saddam cooperated with the UN and when it was about to resolve all pending issues of WMD the attack took place.Mr Hans Blix the chief inspectors said (last year):If we given the opportunity to work three months more in 2003 we would be able to proof that no WMD in Iraq and Saddam did not represent any threat .Bush war was the war of lies and cheating.If Iraqis invaded the USA ,American should fight and resist occupation exactly like Iraqi resistance is doing against USA occupation.

Answer 4

Every dog will get his day.. An to answer your question NO I personally dont think what america is doin is fair and to use the excuse that america is there to help the ppl or the excuse that saddam tortured his own ppl , he had Nuc's ?? How can you begin to compare the body count too Saddam.. and they say he tortured his own ppl?? Well take a good look at what happened at Abu Ghraib prison and theRapes, torture, deaths the american's did to the POW. How are they so called protecting these ppl if the body count is nearly 1 million bodies?? How do u begin to justify that killing all these ppl would make their lives easier later on?? I dont get it?? If my family members where killed in iraq how the hell is that goin to make my life better?? I'm sure if the roles was reversed this would be completely different?.Americans wouldnt sleep in their beds an wait for war to be over .. SO why is it iraq's are wrong for fightin back ... The funny part is when they show iraq's with weapons hidden in their homes.. Like seriously if you were invaded from another country would you keep waterguns to protect yourself?? Every1 knows why they really went in there .. Nothin but Greed. If they really did care about any nation why didnt they save all that money they spent and put it to good use like REBUILD AFRICA or some other STarved nation in need of money??? or even better why didnt they just Save there own ppl....

Answer 5

NO
It is my belief that the USA should never have invaded Iraq. Look at the young men and women killed on both sides. money wasted, the hatred that will linger for many many years.

There was NO WMD's to be found! There never were any, they take out the only Arab that kept them in line! Saddam was a mad man yet he stopped the in-house fighting.

Iraq had the best medical, electricity, water, dental services of any Arab Nation. Now it is SHOT no medications or equipment.


The internal fighting now will go on for many years until another Saddam is found. Democracy will never work in any Arab Nation as much as any Nation would like to push it. The Arabs have their beliefs and democracy is not one of them.

Americans would react the same as the Iraqi's peoples.. They would fight for their homeland.
The USA should have never invaded Iraq this mistake will last for many years

Answer 6

The plans for invading Iraq were written up by Wolfowitz, Perle, Feith, and the other neo-conmen back in 1992. It had nothing to do with WMDs or even Saddam torturing his own people.

In 1982 Saddam was our best friend in the region and we encouraged him to attack the Iranians, who had the unmitigated gall to overthrow the despotic Shah and his israeli-trained SAVAK secret police, that we went to so much trouble to install in Iran in 1954.

We even gave mean old Saddam some poison gas to speed things along.

The neo-conmen wanted Iraq at any cost, short of actually risking their own lives, or those of their own sons and daughters, of course. Wolfowitz even ran the plans past the israelis for their kosher stamp of approval back in the 90's. What does THAT tell you about the TRUE reason for the invasion of Iraq?

Wolfowitz and the other neo-conmen had the plan, they had the high placed connections, and they had the motive. All they needed was an excuse and a gullible idiot to flip the switch, and voila! WW III (Wolfowitz's War for the Immediate Improvement of Israel)

Well, Wolfie got his war, and 3,000 plus body bags, (not a single one stamped Wolfowitz, Perle, or Feith, by the way. Dying, it seems, is for the "little" people), and he got his golden parachute. As president of the World Bank, Wolfowitz has "diplomatic immunity" and can't even be subpoenaed by Congress, let alone tried for his gross crimes against humanity.

Onward Christian Soldiers....

Answer 7

Dear Sir: You pose a very good question. candidly? no he was not! When 911 happened(911 was a setup,just interview some of the firemen who witnessed a most foreboding,heinous and deliberate "act" ever perpetuated by any administration ever! for Bush to instill and take away privacy of its citizen by forming an illicit department of Home land security, it sounds like something the Nazi's would name it) the United States acted like a nest of hornets out to get someone,anyone just whoever was convenient in the general vicinity of the middle east. In being a good lad to his dad as well as Halliburton and Subs and wanting the recognition and praise of the American public to take action asap. Hussein was the only target over there, so off we marched without a plan of action or contingencies. So there we are, ready to find reason to ignite WW 3. Do not get me wrong about our troops,as I was one of Vietnam,and had the mind twisting job of counseling returning troops. These troops are valiant and proud to defend the U.S against foreign aggressors in their efforts and will only find out that they will be in the powder keg. As a famous singer said the lyrics "we won't be fooled again" I was hoping it would be true. I ask were were the bodies of these flights? non found at the Philidelphia crash. why did the FAA give permission for these aircraft to fly in a restricted zone? the premises for his actions are unforgivable and a commission needs to be formed to impeach and imprison all who were involved. So much for being candid.

Answer 8

There is absolutely no indication that attacking Iraq was a good idea. If Americans were attacked by Iraq, we would not let Iraq run the show.

Answer 9

I can't think of a single reason why if Bush and Co. were SO concerned about stopping WMDs they attacked the one Axis country that WASN'T actually trying to make them.

WHY DIDN'T WE ATTACK NORTH KOREA INSTEAD!?!?! THEY DID BUILD NUKES!!!! Kim Jong has BSed his way through almost as many UN resolutions as Saddam, for the exact goal we ACCUSED Saddam of. He has succeeded now and has the bomb. Wants to trade for oil.....
So I'd say we failed more than just the war in Iraq, we failed our original overall goal of stopping WMDs. As soon as Iran gets one it'll be the Cold War, the Third Reich and Crusades all rolled into one. Great job Bush

Answer 10

I suppose if President Bush had WMD's pointed at your allies, or used WMD's and gassed and executed any minority group in this country, like Saddam did the thousands of Kurds, or lined up and executed by the 100K' s like the Shites, you'd plead for someone to attack & defeat him and overthrow him....and occupy the country until the supporters of that governent & that policy were eliminated and the government was stable again....Honest before God, you would.
