how can you justify the war in iraq?

Question

iraq had nothing to do with the terriorism, why did we went to war with them
Hypothetically what if china attacks us and captures our country ( usa), for similar reasons would you still justify the war.
OH MIGHTY CHINESE SAVED US FROM THE EVIL BUSH

Answer 1

One justifies the Iraq war simply by burying their head in the sand.

Answer 2

If memory recalls the #1 reason why the US went to war was WMD. So far there's been no evidence either way that Iraq had WMDs (remember just because nothings been 'found' doesn't automatically mean nothing was there). Here's a question, what if Saddam was deliberately misleading the world into thinking he had WMDs that he hoped would help in diplomacy? Many UN inspectors were not able to do the jobs of inspections that might have stopped this war. Perhaps if Saddam had more forth coming this might have been prevented. Saddam could have prevented this by allowing what France and Russia wanted, but instead he chose to be a idiot, and he'd dead because of it.

As for the China thing, that would be idiotic by the Chinese. One big difference is Bush is only in power for another 1 1/2 years.

If he tries to remain in power longer I'll be right there with the others wanting him impeached then. Right now we have a diplomatic process that allows us to vote for our leader along with a term limit, can't say the same thing about Saddam.

Answer 3

You apparently don't listen to even the liberal news well. Do you recall how many Al-Kaida training camps were found in Iraq? Perhaps you do not recall any of the clear and present evidence of what a monster Saddam Hussein was found to be - not even counting the satellite photos of the portable chemlabs moving around Iraq, or the things that were likely present, but being moved out and/or dismantled during the year plus before we went into Iraq. And, of course, all the idiots that must have been in the 43 OTHER countries that went into Iraq, because they also believed there were serious problems that could affect them in Iraq?
At this point, if we bail out, Iraq won't become a huge training camp for Al-Kaida - sure it won't! And of course, they won't come after us, either, right? Were you alive and conscious on September 11, 2001? THEY DID COME AFTER US! My oldest son spent half of the last 7 years in Afghanistan and Iraq, as he does not want to be buying Gas Masks for his kids! Get Real!

Answer 4

1. US Inspectors were allowed in and to go anywhere until Bush, not Saddam, kicked them out to start a war.

2. Saddam was an enemey of Al Queda, not a colaborator.

3. The UN did not authorize the US to invade Iraq

4. The last remaining argument was that Saddam was a brutal dictator. Yes, but that did not stop Don Rumsfeld from selling him biological weapons, nor Cheney at Haliburton rebuilding his oil infrastructure.
And of course, many people we are working with now across the globe are just as bad as Hussien. And we also had rape rooms and torture chambers - hopefully not on the same scale - but enough to make it easy to think that killing a half million people and creating the mess we are in now is much worse than it was before. And why was it worth the lives of 4,000 of our sons and daughters? Why did they sacrifice their lives in a civil war a half a world away?

Answer 5

We now understand a small cadre of administration individuals had wanted to invade Iraq long until now 9/11. all of us understand the administration became hoping to describe we had to invade Iraq because of the fact of Saddam's refusal to permit the UN inspectors into Iraq. whilst Saddam blinked, and the inspectors certainly chanced on no longer something, the administration then defined we had to invade Iraq because of the fact Saddam incredibly did have weapons of mass destruction, yet became extra useful at hiding them than the UN inspectors have been at looking them. whilst 9/11 got here approximately, the administration then informed us there have been ties between Saddam and Al Qaeda. This proved to be as efficient because it became untrue. whilst our defense force chanced on no weapons of mass destruction, the administration then defined we had to invade Iraq to rid the international of a poor dictator. whilst the fiasco of our occupation of Iraq grew to advance into obvious, the administration then defined we've been combating terrorism there so we wouldn’t might desire to combat it right here. in all hazard the main stable rationalization for the invasion is that a team of administration neoconservatives argued freeing Iraq might provide us a powerful, exhibit democracy friendly to the U. S. smack dab interior the midst of the midsection East. it might additionally provide us bases on the two fringe of Iran who, this team perceptively concluded, became the genuine subject. opposite to the left’s drained mantra, it became in no way merely approximately oil. Are any of those motives justification for what we've accomplished to a human beings and to our service females and men individuals and their households? That in all hazard relies upon on your man or woman set of values. one factor is for particular: a deadly mix of towering vanity and lack of knowledge has led to the administration to completely botch the interest. I’m on no account particular the want to in basic terms stroll faraway from the mess we’ve made is any much less irresponsible than the alternative that made the mess interior the 1st place. whilst it is over, we'd have misplaced some distance, a lot extra effective than Iraq. We have already got.

Answer 6

Iraq invaded Kuwait in the early 90's. We intervened to help save Kuwait from the invasion. That war ended with Saddam Hussein aggreeing to certain UN resolutions. He violated those resolutions, he did not cooperate with weapons inspectors. Because he violates the agreement that ended the first war we have the right to continue and fight Iraq. We are now already in Iraq so your question is pointless. You should be concerned about winning in Iraq now that we are there.

Answer 7

There is no justification for the war in Iraq it only allowed the worst element to come out of hiding. Sadam we have learned was brutal for a reason those people are uncivilized and it took a brutal dictatior to keep them from killing each other. Until they can get another one equally as brutal they will not have peace.

Answer 8

We have not had another attack on American soil since 9/11. While I agree we did go on false pretenses, the reasons we did go are legitimate and necessary. These radical muslims are going to attack us one way or another. We have turned Iraq into a magnet for young jihadists and suicide bombers to come attack us so that they can go to their heaven and get their 13 virgins or whatever nonsense they believe.

The real question is this:

Do you prefer militant muslims attacking our well armed and trained GIs in Iraq or our unarmed civilians in NYC? If you prefer the former to the latter, then you ought to be supporting this war.

Answer 9

I honestly have no answer for the justification of the war in Iraq. I think we have more Global issues to worry about. I feel we should pull out our army and protect our own territory. However, people seem to feel it is about oil.

Answer 10

conquering other nations is not out of style but is is remarketed as liberating the poor things and controlling terrorism as a way to make it palatable for the masses and to gain cannon fodder in the form of peoples children
