Opposition to the Iraq War

Introduction Saddam (“The one who confronts” in Arabic) Hussein, is a former president of Iraq and one of the most prominent human rights violators the world has ever known. It appears as though his actions had much to do with the dark childhood he endured, and the influence of the uncle that raised him (Makiya, 2003; Mearsheimer & Walt, 2003; Post, 1991). The following paper will attempt to write a short profile, using the basic concepts studied throughout the course “Terror Profiling”.…

The U.S. does not fight wars over human rights. You can argue that it should (or shouldn't), but the fact is that it doesn't. We entered WWII over Japanese and German expansionism not the Nazi death camps. We got sucked into Vietnam over Communist expansion and then turned a blind eye to the Killing Fields of Cambodia. We ignored Rwanda. We tried to ignore the Bosnian genocide under the wars expansion threatened to draw in two NATO countries on opposite sides of the conflict and destabilize both…

Operation Iraqi Freedom. The US invaded Iraq, and stayed there for about eight and a half years. The public, says that about one million Iraqis died. It is important to question ourselves, was the US correct about invading Iraq? The US attacked Iraq, because they suspected that Iraq had WMD’s (weapons of mass destruction). On the other hand, the US killed many innocent citizens. That is why the US should not have invaded Iraq. Again, The US had suspension that Iraq had WMD’s. John Careghini,…

Results of going to war have everlasting effects on all aspects of life and culture and making a decision to go to war is not easy. The purpose of the Iraq War was to eliminate the threat of Weapons of Mass Destruction because of the idea of that threat. The Iraq War was not worth it because although there were small benefits, the bad greatly outweighed the good. The war in Iraq brought small elements of democracy and the United States got revenge for 9/11 but it also brought human costs, as…

Decide General Petraeus moved into Iraq in March 2003, launching Operation Iraqi Freedom and the search for weapons of mass destruction. The term “Accidental Statesman” refers to General Petraeus as being someone who was unintentionally a skilled, experienced or respected political leader. During his assignment to the 101st Airborne Division, he led the Soldiers to the doorstep of Iraq in March of 2003. General Petraeus led the initial push into Mosul, Iraq, where he focused on rebuilding…

our soldiers have something to do with the mass killings or there’s a chance that Isis may be posing as one of our soldiers by putting tattoos on them to make it seem like our soldiers are on their side. Hillary Clinton believes that this fight or war doesn’t involve the United States. I have to disagree with her opinion…

It is time to face reality. While the United States has experienced unprecedented success and unquestionable authority since the conclusion of World War II, instability in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East coupled with power being distributed among both state and non-state actors are leading the current world into chaos. A World in Disarray provides a detailed insight of U.S. foreign policy decisions which have contributed to this chaos and outlines “World Order 2.0”, a world operating system…

trying to take over. A reason some people might believe the military should take a step back in our fight against ISIS would be because of some of the soldiers that are being killed. When family members receive a call that their loved one has died in war; it isn’t easy. Also, due to the size of ISIS, it will take a big attack. We would have to team up with our allies in order to defeat them. First, the military needs to go harder at ISIS due to the point that they are terrorizing the world. We…

Hussein claimed he had fought a war with Iran to protect Kuwait from Iran. Hussein wanted to be free from war debt with the countries that lent him money during the war (king, 2004). Hussein also wanted two of Kuwait’s islands, giving him better access to the Gulf. Hussein wanted to take over Kuwait’s rich oil country because he claimed Kuwait was intentionally weakening the world oil prices. Hussein also thought if he took over Kuwait, he would not have to pay back his war debt. Hussein also…

The United States of America has gone to war with the Middle Eastern country of Iraq in two separate occasions. The first being Operation Desert Storm in 1991, and the second time was Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Both wars that the United States fought against the country of Iraq had something similar. The Presidency in Iraq for both wars was Saddam Hussein and for the United States first in 1991 with George H.W. Bush and then in 2003 with his son George W. Bush. The purpose of Operation…
