But the Bush administration was so adamant that they would not give up. They said that war was a necessity for the safety of Americans. Even when the Iraq war was fought on the basis of Iraq’s chemical weapon capacity, President Bush always addressed the Iraq war as the war on terrors. He made the people believe that the Al-Qaeda was hiding in Iraq but it has been proved to be wrong. Many believe that the Iraq war was a fatal mistake and it actually heightened terrorist activities.
They recommend attacking terrorist organizations by strengthening international commitments, seeking out the terrorist sanctuaries, and confronting problems such as in Saudi Arabia over oil. One of the bigger challenges would be to prevent the growth of Islamic terrorism. The Commission suggests that the US become an example of moral leadership to the world. They suggest communication and the defense of American ideals throughout the Islamic population. The Commission suggests a maximum effort to countering the accumulation of weapons of mass destruction.
If they see the soft spot, they will attack it on full force. If that happens there will in fact be at least an attempt on a terrorist attack against the United States. The United States should keep troops in the Middle East to protect the countries that are unable to protect themselves from awful terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and so that the U.S seems vulnerable to the same terrorist
The administration had to somehow convinced the United Nations (UN) that Iraq is not respecting and upholding the laws that they were supposed to be abiding by. The United States determined the defiance in terrorism, sanctions, and weapons of mass destruction, were sufficient violations
The distinction is more than merely rhetorical. For all our necessary emphasis on what we're fighting -- Islamic terrorists bent on the destruction of the West and the establishment of a new caliphate -- we cannot forget what we're fighting for. In March of 2003, the president and a bipartisan congress insisted we needed to invade Iraq in order to thwart Saddam's plans to develop WMD and outsource it to Jihadi surrogates. The nuclear WMD risk was, and remains, a perilous impending threat, though significantly reduced with the removal of Saddam's regime. But seasoned intelligence and national security analysts would argue that our ultimate objective -- to establish an Islamic democracy in the cradle of the Islamic world in order to protect our vital national interests -- is as critical, if not more so today, as it was in 2003.
If the U.S were to dismantle its own, other countries would do the same. Countries such as Iran, Pakistan and North Korea, just to name a few, have them because they feel threatened by other nations that have such weapons. This is like a chain reaction, if Venezuela in South America were to develop nuclear weapons; other countries like Brazil would follow. How can the U.S. prohibit other countries such as Iran from developing nuclear weapons when they are spending billions of dollars in the maintaining and developing of them? In conclusion, weapons of mass destruction are the most powerful a country can have.
With a total commitment to confront the terrorists, the Bill of Rights has been thrown out the window. America’s “war” on terror has completely gotten out of hand. First of all, this so called “war” on terror is costing our
20 April 2005. This article states that the United States economic need for oil is what is driving the President to be hostile towards Iran. It is very biased against the President. It uses America's "weapons of mass destruction" faulty reasoning in the war against Iraq as a basis for evaluating American relations with Iran. Pollack, Kenneth and Ray Takeyh.
The shocking images of helplessness, devastation, and unrest in the world’s most powerful country circulated the world minutes after the 9/11 attacks. The United States was supposed to be everyone’s shoulder to lean on, but was proven vulnerable by Al-Qaeda, a militant Islamist organization founded by Osama bin Laden. The Bush administration saw no other way but to immediately fight back in the Middle East and prove to the world that America is indeed, a superpower. The effects of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have been tremendous. Not only for the innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan who are subject to the violence, but also for the United States veterans who are left scarred for life.
We were at war with Iraqi terrorists whose purpose was to take our freedom, liberty, and equality away. This was a great test much like the Civil War testing if this nation so conceived and so dedicated can conquer and endure the fear we are
