Answer 1

I would like to answer your questions in order:

1- NO
2- I don't believe that the killing of countless men, women, and children has ever solved a political dispute.
3- Bush's dirty little secret, some say oil, some say it's a cowboy thing, some even say it's penis envy (but I don't know)
4-No
5-No
6-No, they have deteriorated
7-Hundreds of thousands of refugees pouring out of Iraq seem to be unhappy with the standard of living, most (not all)seem to agree that life under Saddam was much better.
8-No, Al Qaeda were Saddams worst enemies, now they thrive in Iraq, therefore we are now more vulnerable to attacks.
9-We will never be safe until we start to win back our respect as a people and a nation.

Answer 2

I don't like wars, but sometimes they are necessary to keep peace around the world.

There had been talk of getting rid of Saddam for more than 15 years. No one wanted to do it, so it wasn't until they had violated 17 UN regulations for over 10 years that it was decided to do something about him.

Once we attacked we found training camps and proof that most of the Al Qaeda leaders had been there for a number of years, so they did pose a threat by supplying terrorists with money and training.

There were WMD's there because he used them on his own people. Leaders all over the world as well as from both parties in the US agreed he had them. Where they were shipped to is uncertain. There are satellite photos showing caravans of weapons going into Syria shortly before the US and its allies attacked. Now we're battling against the very weapons that were removed before we went in.

Things have definitely improved for the people there. Schools, fresh water, quality of life, voting for the first time - all the things we take for granted - have drastically improved.

They've also said they were happy to be rid of the ruthless tyrant Saddam who tortured them constantly and they really don't want us to leave until they can keep the terrorists out by themselves. These terrorists have been pouring in from Iran and Syria non-stop. We even have proof that Iran has been supplying bombs and other weapons for the terrorists as they continue to raise havoc in Iraq.

We're probably safer by waging war abroad, but until we secure our borders we'll have potential problems with terrorists coming over and planning more acts of terror. We've foiled thousands of plots since 9/11, but all it takes is one to get past for another 9/11 to happen.

You sure ask a lot of questions. I hope you get a lot of answers and I hope I answered them well enough for you. I could go into detail, but you should do some of your own research from here on. You could learn a lot that way.

Answer 3

The war in Iraq is a money maker for those who don't believe in Karma as it would be applied to them, so, its not changed anything. Not our security, not the awareness of WMDs or future threats. Its just how the greedy use government to make themselves richer. That one is for or against the war matters not, because we all still pay tax. What does matter is, are we to trust that the government should be our only security? No! We need to build our own trusts.

Answer 4

no. no link to Al-Qaeda even though one feared. went in without UN authority and did not need to go alone. oil stated reason. safety worse since then for Iraqis especially and rest of world. terrorrist prescence increased . not all fighters terrorists actually civil war between Iraqi government forces and those opposing them backed by U.S. soldiers and allies. threat probably really low as all fighting is in Iraq. if terrorists had army would be over by now or if had airforce tried to bomb U.S same result.give them one will be war as war is thought to be also supply uniforms fight U.S. as army.

Answer 5

I don't agree but I had to say that A.S.E.is full of BS and is incorrect on many of their statements. I would love to see their proof of the improved standard of living for Iraqis considering they actually enjoyed all of the modern conveniences before the war and much of their infrastructure has been destroyed!

Answer 6

Yes, its a good thing wee should have more wars, and murder more people. king George is great

Answer 7
