If we attacked Iraq first and they didnt attack us..why are they the bad guys?

Question

If they are defending themselves and killing U.S. troops in their home country..why are they considered to be the aggressor and we just defending himself. Can a burglar claim self defense if he broke in your house and you attacked him to get him to flea??

Answer 1

THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION....

BLAME IT ON GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA PROPAGANDA.

Answer 2

Because you are not told many things by your president and his cronies, or maybe that how the American work and function.

With War, the American economy is generated and advanced. The public tax money is utilized and work generated, most benefited are the President's party members, his relatives, his cronies or his father's cronies.

To start a WAR is not difficult, sell more weapons to Israel, make the surrounding countries uneasy (most of them considered Israel an American State), some of them are just like the Americans who are not aware of how the American's Government work and provoked to go against the American. And some individual and group were formed and become threat to the America. Since American is such a BIG and STRONG Country, the only way for these individual and groups to go against America is what the American call Terrorism. Then instigate that some country is backing the terrorist group to justify the attack of that country, WAR!

Make them the bad guy first then attack them, the American way.

Yes, the Medias help. Film maker also.

Maybe, they did know about 911 and let it happened but under estimated (or did NOT under estimate.)

Answer 3

To answer that question would be too easy, but essentially Rosey is right!

The government (like big private companies) never tells the american people ALL the truth about anything. Anything!

It's all propaganda and lies spun to look like the truth. Like other entities, the government consultes with public relations firms and the mainstream media when they want to make something or someone appear to be what it is not!

The best way to get the answer is by an unprejudiced study of the PAST history of the relationship between Iraq (which is one half of what used to be Persia) and the western world (i.e. u.s.a., europe)...

If you connect the dots, you'll be surprised at what you find!

Answer 4

at the start you will possibly be able to desire to recover from your naive "u . s . a . of america is tremendous and constantly does stuff to help the international" view factor. This perception is heavily related to American exceptionalism and albeit isn't efficient once you're coping with worldwide politics. u . s . a . of america constantly acts in its own pastime, and there is surely no longer something incorrect with that throughout the time of concept. notwithstanding, whilst u . s . a . of america meddles interior the politics of alternative countries you will possibly be able to desire to settle for that some human beings are going to take a dislike to that. provide up thinking in terms of "good adult adult males" and "undesirable adult adult males" and look on the implications of those "adult adult males" movements somewhat. think of if Saddam Hussein had come over to u . s . a . of america somewhat and started out throwing his weight around - how might you sense approximately that? And jointly as a tremendous type of Iraqis rather benefited from the eliminating of Saddam, the invasion of Iraq brought about customary concern and distinctive deaths (many greater desirable than died interior the WTC assaults, by utilizing the way) which will have been prevented if u . s . a . of america had purely minded its own employer. in case you provide up seeing u . s . a . of america because of the fact the midsection of the universe, and somewhat initiate gazing American movements from the attitude of alternative countries, you will possibly be able to understand why u . s . a . of america is so hated in some areas of the international and so enjoyed in others.

Answer 5

Yeah, you're right, Iraq isn't the bad guy - they never attacked us directly. By that logic, the Nazis weren't bad guys. And Fidel Castro? Awesome fellow. Stalin was one of the coolest around. Mussilini? Yeah, we were homies, played rummy on fridays between cutting peoples throats. I know that these people murdered millions, but since they didn't actually attack the USA first, maybe we should have stayed out of it. How dare we interfere?
This is disgusting. Alright, let me patronize you by offering a few facts that defend the viewpoint of America NOT being a bunch of slavening war-mongers, since all of you hippies in Berkely and Oregon seem to be of that opinion.
Iraq publicly offered to fund any terrorist operation that occured on American soil. Iraq has threatened us multiple times over the years, including several threats that they planned on launching nuclear attacks against the USA. The fact that they didn't have the funding and courage to actually make good on these threats does not mean that they are the good guys.
Iraq willfully interfered with our operations while we were trying to hunt down the terrorist group responsible for the murder of 4,000 American citizens on 9/11. They have supplied weapons and funding to our enemies for years, and have done absolutely everything they could do to try to destroy our country without physically firing a shot at us. They video-taped their own soldiers, in US desert camoflage (ten year old camoflage, by the way - you'd think they'd do a little research), murdering innocent civilians, and then released those video tapes, claiming that America was terrorizing them. Interestingly enough, this was before we entered this war with them.
I am not saying that the Iraqis are bad people. They are people, and like most people, they are influenced by their leaders. I am saying that Saddam had to go, and that his regime, where the few wealthy people in the upper class had all of the votes, and the rest of the population, poor, had none, had to go.
In cases like these, one must consider an old adage I heard years ago. To paraphrase:
"First they came for the blacks, but I'm not black, so I didn't stand up. Then the Jews, but I am not Jewish, so I didn't stand up," and so on, until the end: "Then they came for me. By that time, there was no one left to stand up."
I would suggest that you read up a bit on the actions of Saddams regime, and the incredible horrors he was responsible for, before simply deciding that they are "just defending themselves."
See if you can dig up the footage of him throwing women off the roof of a building, while they cradle their infants in an attempt to keep the child from smashing against the ground. Or, the torture videos of him forcing a man to drink three pints of vodka, with a string tied around his member to cut off urine flow, and waited while his urine backed up into his blood, poisoning him. Or his murder of thousands of people in a village, because someone from an entirely unrelated village attempted to kill him.
That is, if the liberal media hasn't COMPLETELY removed these from circulation, as they tend to try to do.

Answer 6

OK genius, we are not fighting Iraqis, we are fighting with Iraqis,against Insurgents.These insurgents are from Iran, Syria and a few From Iraq that were left over from Saddam's evil political party.f you are going to make up things at least tire to make it sound realistic.

Answer 7

Did North Vietnam attack us first in the Vietnam War? No.

Answer 8

They aren't. We attacked to depose Sadam and liberate Iraq. We achieved that. Then, because the almost-leaderless Iraq broke into chaos and civil war, we're now in the middle of Sunnis fighting Shiites and Shiites fighting Sunnis, and neither one is actually our enemy but the guerillas are shooting at us depending on where we are, because we're in the way of their war. Because some of the guerillas are shooting at us, *all* Iraqis seem suspect--hence, bad guys.

Answer 9

Saddam was a freakin tyrant. He needed to be exterminated and the US wants a solid democratic government to take his absence. In my opinion we should have sent in a hit team and assassinated him, his sons, and every connected dirty bastard, then let the country go into civil war and let them figure it out while we watch from overseas.
The only reason we're over there trying to control these religious freaks is b/c we need their natural resource (oil).

Answer 10

finally some one else has caught on, and there are a lot of USA and allied forces getting killed because of some idiot politicians greedy needs

you know what really ticked me off, usa troops having to arrange their own armour, when some idiot politicians are stealing billions of dollars, that is actually stealling not just 'losing it' and yes it was stolen check your ABC news

Answer 11

The Iraqis aren't the bad guys. They are really fighting one another over there and occasionally attack the US. It's a civil war. I don't really know who the bad guys are over there. There is no military to fight. We are just policing them.
