How Bush screwed up in the Iraq war?

Question

In America, there are people of different religions and different political views, however deep inside their heart they are all Americans, like "brothers", so if one of them gets attacked everyone unites to try and defeat the attacking enemy.

The same thing is happening in Iraq. Although Iraq is a separate country, all middle-eastern countries including itself are predominantly “Muslim States”. So, though there might be small trifles or civil wars between these countries, they all have a feeling of Muslim brotherhood - so if one country is being attacked by a foreign power (America in this case), then all these countries forget their small trifles and differences & unite together to fightback and defeat the American troops.

This is where Bush screwed up badly - in his desire to get oil, he overlooked the basic fact that though Iraq is an independent country, it is still a "Muslim state" like several other Middle Eastern countries (particularly Iran). So, while Bush envisioned defeating the Iraqi resistance (meanwhile projecting to innocent Americans that he’s trying to bring Iraqis freedom from terrorism and a tyrant Saddam Hussain) and securing oil bases within a period of 2 years, he failed to notice that the resistance which the American troops will be facing is not merely from Iraqis, but from it’s Muslim neighbors as well. Now Bush has realized his mistake and has called for extra troops, more resources & plans for bombing Iran (this time under the pretext that Iran is manufacturing nuclear weapons & their leader Ahmedinejad is yet another tyrant).

Don’t you agree with me?

Answer 1

hell yeah i do, we just had a debate on this in my english class the other day, not very specific but fun, bush did screw up badly, his interest was oil, puttin terrorism as an excuse, uhmm... now his plan has sort of backfired bringing him more trouble, calling for more resources and having him send more troops, not only that but the people the citizens of iraq and iran, especially the youth, they're growing up with the fear and hate for americans, generations later when supposedly democrasy will have been improvised in iraq, those children who now suffer and live the terror will not think of the u.s. as a good example of democrasy and probably rebel, i mean in a way they will remember and hold that grudge against us. we are not representative of a democrasy, only an example of a democrasy, (i think i'm spelling democrasy wrong) anyways i'm very informed on this subject

Answer 2

Your question is based on an idea that all Bush did in Iraq was done in desire to get oil. Seems like you know it for a fact. I heard different opinions in that account but not facts. Can we start with those facts if you know any?

Answer 3

I agree that the Democratic party has made it impossible for Bush to do his job. I agree that the liberal media has brainwashed a lot of Americans. I agree that Bush is a horrible president. I agree that we all should be embarrassed with our government in a whole.
