How much can you blame Bush's war on Iraq for the problem of terrorism?

Question

Do you think it's an accident that billions of people were outraged by that illegal war? Is it any suprise that some of them were so angry they turned to terror?

Answer 1

You're a brainwashed liberal. How's the war illegal? It was declared and voted for in Congress. The islamofascists will continue to hate America and the West for as long as they're around. Even if weren't in Iraq, they would've still been preaching death to the West/ America and trying to commit more acts of terror on our soil. They won't rest until they've conquered America/ our allies. Don't worry, that won't happen though.

Answer 2

(Puts head down shakes back and forth).

(Deep breath) ok...
I'm not even going to deal with most of the crap you said, how about the part about the billions of people and a % of them turning to terror.

Did it happen, sure it did, would it have happened other wise would be a better question and would help us all understand what we are dealing with here.

What triggered the change to terror maybe a side point, we first need to understand if the hate was already there.

You watch TV programs from over there and you start to see that at an early age kids are brought up to hate us. I sat in class in 1997 as the teacher talked about how these people in the Middle East hate us, and guess what it wasn't for the war, it was for the way we live our lives.

Most of them found it appalling that we call ourselves a Christian country yet we have Hollywood pumping out the movies they do (by the way I have no problem with that, loves me my porn)

On top of that they hate the way we treat our women and minorities. You want to talk about a group of people that hate black people, whoa!! And I know first hand, my boss, born and raised in Iran, hates them all, his friends who I’ve talked to hate them just as much. It was hard to sit there and listen to it all, but the fear of them blowing up my car was always in my mind :)

The hate has always been there, the reasons change, now it’s the war. We pull out they will find a new reason to want to kill us

Answer 3

Granted Bush threw gasoline on an already raging fire. But that doesn't give an excuse for those committing acts of terror.
I have never understood how humans are able to this to one another. This includes Bush thinking that invasion and occupation of Iraq was a good idea. The Taliban and their warped ideas should have been taken care of long ago.

Answer 4

It wasn't Bush's fault. it would have been his theory to pass in, and basic the determination does take a seat with him, yet Congress had to approve, so they are in a position to have palms pointed at them besides. Saddam did should he long gone, and he DID reason the subject concerns over there, if he did not, do not you think of he would nevertheless be alive? so a procedures as a situation over in Iraq, in the beginning, have you ever been there? I easily have seen Iraqi human beings and that they are lots happier with out Saddam in ability. in the past you're saying it, i recognize there are American's being killed there, yet you recognize what, there are American's dying in each and every single place, and is that Bush's fault? as a procedures as a results of fact the terrorists taking on if we left, it truly is available, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, i think of the Iraqi human beings would arise and combat, if given the prospect to combat, and if given the weapons to combat off the terrorists. The Iraqi human beings in elementary terms recognize one concern, kill or be killed. they are attempting to alter that, and a few have, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, its the extremists who're fearing the substitute. Its a 0.33 international united states, and its like that for a reason, they are nevertheless living the comparable way for the reason that BC. different international places have developed into something distinctive. Its going to take time for them to conform, so we would ought to stay there for a mutually as. particularly of sitting right here and complaining approximately what is going on over there, you may run for workplace, or vote. the priority is, no count who became elected, the Iraq conflict nevertheless would have occurred, in basic terms as a results of fact Saddam wasn't being a stable boy. If he would have permit the UN inspectors in and make the UN satisfied, then he would nevertheless be alive at present.

Answer 5

No.
The terrorism and mass murder and torture murders and beheadings that are occurring are STRICTLY blamed on the murderers and their leaders.

Using your theory, why aren't the families of the civilian contractors who were beheaded "angry enough" to goburn a mosque or kill a muslim?

The terrorism, torture murders, mass murders, and beheadings are the result of a psychopathic philosophy that justifies such acts AND the fact that no major imam, islamic cleric, or islamic leader has presented a COUNTER argument to that of the jihadists. They have "condemned" it and claim that islam has been "hijacked" but there is NO counter-argument FROM ISLAM that says the jihadists are morally wrong or that their position is contrary to islam (if there is, please provide a link or citation).

Answer 6

No well if some greedy nation tried to take my countries natural resources i would be pretty angry. Well even though Ireland is neutral and we have transformed into one of the richest countries in the world I think i we were evaded for our natural resources we also would turn to terrorism or you could call it patriotism

Answer 7

I just read an article in the NYT stating that this is a different Al Qaeda(of Mesopotamia) than the one that attacked US soil. But Bush tries to make the American people believe that they are the same.

Answer 8

I would thank him for removing Saddam, a living WMD.

About the side effects, well it's like performing operation on cancer cells, there's always risk of making the cancer cell become more aggresive, still better than do nothing about a problem.

Answer 9

Then why are they committing terrorist acts all over the world, in countries that have nothing to do with the Iraq war?

Why are they beheading Buddhists in Thailand? What does Thailand have to do with it? NOTHING.

Answer 10

Congress voted for military force so, like the logical thinking person I am, I place some blame on them too.
