Could someone explain to me as intelligently as possibly the undeniable moral reason we invaded Iraq?

Question

Who stands to benefit the most from it and who is paying the biggest price?

Thank you. Looking forward to some good intelligent commentary hopefully....and I am confident you my fellow citizens of these great United States will come through for me.

Answer 1

Greed

We went there for money (oil, Halliburton) and power (control of the Middle East oil industry) under the pretense of WMD that they "threatened to use on us"?

You have to follow the money trail to the presidents before Dubya got into office. He's just the puppet controlled by bigger powers that want to control the world.

Study Real ID with VeriChip, NAU, UN and the following chart.

Notice that the proposed budget for 2008 is 59% of our money to be spent on the war. All of the other Federally paid for expenditures will be decreased or eliminated to accommodate these profiteers of the war.

There is no course to stay. We cannot change thousands of years of religious fighting. We don't belong there and need to bring our soldiers home. Staying there to save face makes no sense at all. It just means more lives removed from this earth.

We have our own country to clean up. Iraq needs to clean up there own country with enough money from the UN to help them rebuild what our Commander in Chief has destroyed.

Answer 2

We entered Iraq as a result of Saddam's refusal to follow UN sanctions and his numerous violation of those sanctions. Because we also believed he had WM D's and had used them on his own people we entered Iraq. The people of Iraq were freed from a tyrant and it was hoped that a Democratic government would be formed in the middle east. Elections were held and a government formed. Many problems arose and many errors/mistakes were made that can be seen now in hindsight but the result was a lack of support of the people for the US forces. Internal and external force caused confusion and violence and a near civil war was/is a big threat. We entered Iraq with good intentions to free the people from a tyrant but unlike Afghanistan the people of Iraq did not stand up for themselves and were more interested in sectarian revenge than democracy. Advances have been made but things will take some time to improve to a point where the people can safely run there own government. Peace

Answer 3

I'll try. Saddam Had used Chemicals to kill thousands before the United States entered into Iraq. He also invaded Kuwait and it was estimated he had one of the largest military in that part of the world. He and his sons routinely murdered people. The intelligence agency's around the world reported that he had Chemical Weapons and was working to develop nuclear weapons. Saddam also was not complying with the U.N. resolutions. His image was that of a Power Hungry aggressive murderer, that wanted to control that whole area and its oil. Had the United States and our allies left him alone, where would he and his sons have stopped? That whole area is not and was not very stable. The economies of the free world is effected by the oil that comes from that whole region. The United States and its Allies made their decision to stop him then, based on the intelligence information they had, rather than later when it was thought he would possess nuclear weapons. He knew and was prepared for the invasion months ahead of time because of the deadline that was given him by the U.N. Just because we have not found any W.M.D. doesn't mean he didn't have them or was aggressively working to get or develop nuclear weapons.

Answer 4

There was a moral reason?
I remember first WMDs, but then there really weren't any.
Then there were a whole slew of reasons about Saddam, but now he's dead. We now have a bigger mess.
Somewhere along the line someone was baking "yellow cake," and the world was introduced to Valerie Plame. That whole ordeal still seems shady to me.
I think we were suppose to liberate the Iraqi people, but for as bad as Saddam was this Civil War seems exponentially worse.
So, really, I still believe it comes down to oil. A rapidly shrinking commodity worth more money than I can even imagine. I don't think or see how it's moral, but it sure is lucrative.

Answer 5

honestly, its not pretty.
The truth is that the iraq war is another step in the anglo-saxon struggle for survival and dominance. What people dont talk about is that we replaced their money with a federal reserve system. which is a private organization which owns most of the money in the world, except the axis of evil's money, thus the label evil. The same peopple who loaned us all the money for the invasion get the payoff by having us install their monetary system in an oil rich country. Plus what they make off of the war machine sales themselves.
theres more to it but those are some highlights

you might say, hey i asked about the moral reasons. And my answer to that is that i gave it to you, money is the moral

Answer 6

The United States did not invade Iraq because of any undeniable moral reason. We went into Iraq to enforce the terms of victory from the first war with Iraq that we won.

When we won that war we placed stipulations on the government of Iraq. They continued to violate those stipulations so we took action. On top of this, there were clearly signs that Iraq was harboring terrorists and giving them peaceful sanctuary.

It is really that simple.

When you win a war you have the ability to put your rules into affect. That is the "prize" for winning the war.

The United States decided to act because if we did not then then other nations would have no reason to believe that the U.S. would back their own policies.

Remember, the United States is not perfect but it is still the best and most humane and generous country in the world.

The U.S. does more positive things for the world then any other country.

If you are a U.S. citizen then be proud of that fact.

God Bless America.

Answer 7

All intelligence communities around the world, said that saddam had WMD's. saddam was killing his own people by the millions, and burying them in mass graves, if they got buried at all. Him and his sons were raping and murdering anyone and everyone that did not agree with them. He paid the families of the guys that hijacked the planes on 9/11, thus he was irrefutably connected to al queda, and a serious threat to the U.S. and the rest of the world.

Answer 8

given all the rhetoric and spin doctoring that continues to be put out there from all sides (both parties and those unaffilliated), it is pretty safe to say that the answer is:

no, no one could explain to you as intelligently as possible the undeniable moral reason we invaded Iraq. any answer provided by any person would be "deniable" on some level...

Answer 9

I can't tell you the undeniable moral reason why we invaded Iraq. But I can give you the undeniable moral reason why we can't leave. We started a war, and collapsed their government. We are struggling to keep the peace as it is; we can't leave until they have a stable government, and have a working police force.

Answer 10

Went in to remove a dictator who killed thousands by going in and killing half a million, destroying their way of life, removing their electricity, jobs, security and freedom.

All this was for oil for private companies and that's it, no moral reason and no one is gaining anything except for high taxes and the guilt knowing half a million people died from people you voted in.
