When Americans began to believe that weapons of mass destruction existed and decided that Iraq was providing support to al Queda, the war could be justified as an act of self defense. Bush also told Americans by invading Iraq he would bring a democracy to their country to better the policies and enforce democratic beliefs in their country. The role of the media plays an imminent part in the run up to the war in Iraq. The media repeatedly showed the planes crashing into the World Trade Centers. People were watching this horrific act being shown on every news channel for weeks after the attacks occurred.
Darwin Mushrush Am. st. 100 Prof. Smythe December 15th, 2011 The War in Iraq: What Did It Really Cost? The war on terror in Iraq was one of the most controversial periods of conflict in U.S. History, overshadowed only by Vietnam. The United States got involved in Iraq in March of 2003 because President Bush and Prime Minister Blair claimed that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and also had relations with Al- Queda, the terrorist group responsible for the September 11th attacks. The U.N. sent personel into Iraq to investigate for weapons, but came up empty.

The Iraq War was based upon the allegations of Suddam Hussein possessing weapons of mass destruction. Supporting allegations of the country harboring and supporting terrorist organizations as well as liberation, democracy, and the ousting of a tyrant that would go as far as gassing his own people to prove a point, prompted a U.S. led invasion into Iraq in March 2003. In the United States, Congress is the only authority to declare war in which the U.S. military may be involved. The invasion was validated arguably by Congress giving justification for authorization for military interaction in Iraq by stating several supporting factors which include; the country's noncompliance with the 1991 Cease Fire Agreement, continuing to possess chemical and biological weapons, paid bounties to the families of suicide
“How People Turn Monstrous” reveals the incident of eight soldiers and Staff [Sgt.] Ivan Frederick II mistreating Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib Prison with humiliating sexual behavior and physical abuse such as stripping them naked with bags over their heads and stomping on their hands and feet. Mark Buchanan believes they “only did what many of us would have done if placed in the same situation”(384). Buchanan provides us with a great resource such as the experiment at Stanford University by Philip Zimbardo. Few college students were put in a real life situation similar to Abu Ghraib.
On February 18, 1943 they were spotted handing outs leaflets and taken in for interrogation. They eventually confessed to what they did, but they did not release information about any other members of the White Rose. The next day they were both executed; however, Hans did not go so quietly, before he died he proclaimed, “Long Live Freedom!” Hans and Sophie Scholl helped many realize just how cruelly Jews were
He had blamed Iraq to be holding terrorists, he had made America believe that Iraq had been under Saddam Hussein’s clutches and that whatever he had to say was law. President Bush had stated in his speech that, “Saddam Hussein is harboring terrorists and the instruments of terror, the instruments of terror of mass death and destruction, and he cannot be trusted. The risk is simply too great that he will use them or provide them to a terror network”. He had made Americans believe that Hussein was creating weapons and developing a nuclear weapon so that he could “blackmail” the world. President Bush had not trusted Saddam Hussein and he didn’t want rest of America to either.
The 9-11 Incident was surely a tragedy. Thinking back, I still remember the fury inside my heart when I witnessed the whole scenario on TV during my history class in 2001, even though I was not an American citizen. Within couple of weeks, America had declared war on Iraq, and encouraged an immediate capture of terrorist leader. I wondered, what would the title of the war be? A vengeance on Iraq?
The Marines were attempting to stabilize the country, torn by a civil war between Christians, with Israel as their ally, and Muslims. Israel had invaded Beirut to displace the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), a terrorist group headed by Yassir Arafat until his death in 2004. An investigation was launched by the United States, which included a review of all facilities overseas, called the Inman Report. The report was prepared for the U.S. Department of State, and it investigated how the suicide bomber gained entry into the Marines’ compound. The determination was that the incident occurred due to lax security (CBS, 2005).
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.
