Essay title: Iraq War
The essay is effects on the wabout whether we beleive in iraq war or not and what are the post war orld? I will discuss these issues with respect to what the american thinks and what the iraqi people think about this war. I will conclude it with my opinions about the war . The ideas are based on the information collected from the blogs on the internet.
Majorities in all Muslim nations surveyed doubt the sincerity of the war on terrorism. Instead, most say it is an effort to control Mideast oil and to dominate the world.
To all the people that say "war is war" and innocent people will be hurt; explain that to the 12 year old boy who has to live the rest of his life with no arms and who has lost his entire family. How would you feel if your son or daughter had their arms blow away by a missile? Do you not think that this is creating a 1000 more Bin Ladens.The hatred towards America in muslim world will create more terriorist activities with more bin laden jumping into this holy war.The Americans said that they would not directly target civilians? Well what about the bombing of the restaurant in Baghdad, killing 14 civilians and wounding many others? This was done on only the possibility the Saddam was there. Even so, the Arab worldthey would have known they would also kill civilians. In anyone elses book this would be blatant terrorism. Is this how the "Civilised World" acts? They are quite clearly prepared to kill innocent civilians to achieve their goals. There were lots of other instances where innocent people were killed for no reason. They dont know how long they can live with a fact that they never know when a missile will blow their home and families. A lot even welcome the British and US troops entering the cities of country and liberating the long oppressed Iraqis.The Iraqis are celebrating their first taste of freedom.Scenes of jubilation in Baghdad, as well as Basra Um Quasar etc are somewhat releiving but at huge cost.what will be the gains of this war for iraqi people? Freedom? Civil revolts and a divided country instead of a terror-oppressive regime? Years of desolation? On the other hand, what are the losses: human lives, credibility on International Law and on UN capabilities, post-war traumas for thousands of civilians, polluted liaisons among and bitter feelings among traditional allies.
For American its a war of freedom , to liberate iraqi people to live in free air. How very disappointing to see the Iraqi people looting. Is this the "freedom" we have fought for? Did our soldiers die for these people to steal television sets? The conflict is not over, our soldiers still need their help, and we would have thought the Iraqi people would put building democracy and their freedom above money and objects. It is a scary scenario what the US is implementing. It is the fear of the US for the male Muslim population to run the Middle East and beyond, this is the real season for this war. The US is obsessed by losing control as the world's policeman. However to create a war every three to five years, and this is what this regime is all about, is nothing less than what Hitler did to the Jews. Unfortunately Bush cannot be prosecuted as a war criminal, as the US withdrew from the international criminal court prior to starting the war in Iraq.America's fighting men and women want freedom for the Iraqi people. They want nothing less than a guaranteed bill of rights, based on the US Bill of Rights, in their constitution. What will be the gain for the US? Safety for the American people? A dictator less on their list? A strengthened world role?
The discontent with America and its policies has intensified rather than diminished.There are doubts about the motives
