This is done just to create an impression that the world is against Iraq. However one should consider the validity of presenting such a support. Firstly, where the writer says, “some people…” it is a use of fallacy (false authority). Moreover he does not give proper understandable reasons of why is it appropriate to take over Kuwait; rather he merely states the population which agrees to the writer’s idea. One needs to know the rationale behind that agreement.
He did not see how it was morally right to get involved with Europe’s war when the war first broke out. The Central powers proved him wrong. Germany did not believe in restricted war zones and that started to affect the lives of the US citizens. As William Jennings Bryan states “now can we complain, if in confusion one of our boats is sunk by mistake?” German U-boats had attacked American ships because the American ships had entered areas of war. Americans were warned by Germany though just chose to ignore their warning.
ama Bin Laden and AmericaBy Tauqeer Ul HassanIt is difficult to say it with surety that why Osama Bin Laden extremely dislike Americans.US Presence in the Middle EastPresence of the US military in the Arabian Peninsula is known to be the most importantcondition related to his hatred against Americans. Especially he became furious at the timewhen United States of America send its army in the sacred land for Muslims, Saudi Arabia. Hispoint of view is that presence of American in the holy land is a thing that is against the religionand unacceptable.The Saudi Royal family allowed Americans to land out in Saudi Arabia which was a great shockfor Mr. Laden. Osama bin laden express his disappointment and anger towards this decision ofthe Saudi Royal family to permitted Americans to land in the country. After that he becomemore against America and shows his aggression towards Saudi command as well.Pro-Israeli Policy of the U.S.One more cause of the extreme dislike of the Osama Bin Laden to wardsthe United States is its pristine support of the unfair Israeli stance overthe Arab region.
One disadvantage to Truman’s decision to support Israel in becoming a sovereign country is that U.S. relations with the Arabs can be affected. Also, creating a partition in Palestine in order to create a country for Jews would cause anti-Americanism. Another con to helping Israel become a sovereign country is that it would require U.S. troops to enforce the partition. This would decrease the number of troops standing by that the U.S needs to have. Not only that, but the partition violates both U.S. and U.N principles of self-determination.
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
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.
dollar. Now, if Sen. Obama’s plan was followed then Iraq would be left by themselves without clue on what’s next, and this would be something similar that happened in Colombia, once we finally got rid of Spain we were going to establish a government but, we had no clue on how to do so. The aftermath of Colombian problem ended on a period which is called “La patria boba” which means “The dumb country” because we didn’t know what was next, this lead to a great civil war, this civil war was so tough that nobody could wear red or blue because this would show their political views and they would be killed. Taking into account what happened in Colombia, I’m sure that this same problem could happen in Iraq with the difference that in Iraq there are lots of terrorist parties seeking U.S. withdrawal. Also, people need to understand that Sen. McCain also wants to leave Iraq as soon as possible because he understands the big damage this is bringing for the country and for the Americans, more specific the families who have members in Iraq, but he can’t let this problem blind him and take the easiest decision of withdrawing as soon as possible.
Although Kahn adamantly disputed the theories claiming that the U.S. knew of the impending attack because of intelligence, if the theories were true it would support the idea that the U.S. needed an excuse to enter the war without attacking first and so they let the Japanese attack happen without putting up a strong defense. On the other hand, Kahn made the point that “even if Roosevelt had wanted war, he would not have wanted to enter it with his fleet badly weakened” (169). If the U.S. really knew about the incoming attack and wanted to use it as an excuse to enter the war, there would have been some defensive preparations to stop the destruction of the majority of the Pacific Fleet. Adkison 6 In the end, although the attack on Pearl Harbor was devastating, it lit a fire under Americans to join together and fight for victory, not only in the Pacific War, but the war in Europe as well.

George W. Bush, immediately upon waging a successful military campaign against Afghanistan, the primary harbor and sponsor of the September 11 terrorist attacks against the United States, decided that Saddam Hussein must be removed from his position of power in Iraq. George W. Bush, fresh of a “high” resulting from a combination of the “rally-around-the-flag effect” and the swift domination of Afghanistan, saw the opportunity to inject his worldview into U.S. foreign policy. Bush encompassed a worldview similar to his father’s (but amplified, in a sense), and saw the United States as a “heroic liberator,” compelled by God to deliver peace and democracy to evil, misguided nations through force if necessary. (Hybel 127) With such an unwavering worldview guiding the way, decision-making on whether or not to invade Iraq was predicated on regime change. Undoubtedly, George W. Bush, like his father, viewed the war in very personal terms.
Clemenceau resented Wilson’s generous attitude towards Germany and Lloyd George’s desire to not treat Germany too harshly. He said “if they British are so anxious to appease Germany they should look overseas and make colonial, naval or commercial concessions”. These disagreements left the big three unsatisfied and ultimately left them with a weak mere shadow of a perhaps great treaty due to their own arrogance and. It contained many faults and weaknesses. The treaty of Versailles greatly humiliated Germany forcing it to accept soul responsibility for the war.
