Okay, I know this is a topic a lot of people hear too often, but I want to have a focused debate about this. The central question is this: Should Bush have sent the soldiers into Iraq, and what effects does that action have? I am looking for all the views, facts, and general info anyone has, as well as opinions, effects on America, pro/con of going in, and just about everything except personal comments (i.e. Bush is an idiot, or PosterX is stupid). Try to stay on topic for awhile, but later in the thread it would be nice to spread from just this event to the rest of his presidency and the rest of the related politics.
I'll post my views first: Bush had a long list of reasons for invading, not just WMDs. Saddam hates us, and if he could he would most definately attack us. In past years, he has been a nexus for terrorists. We know from the messages within the White House that Bush had been planning since the very beginning to assault terrorism. The fact that Iraq was a known nexus automatically put it on the list of enemies. When America was attacked, Bush immediately set into action to counterattack. No one who deserved to be our president could do less. Instead of just hunting down the perpetrator, he decided to take it to the next level. A war had been declared on America many years ago, yet nothing had been done. Now was the time to take it to the next level and start an all-out war. Terrorism was no longer a thing for the police, it was an international war. Soldiers were sent out to attack Osama, others were sent to hunt down others we knew. A thorough process began to reinforce our own structure while we also expanded to attack. A fool might have decided to hunt down individual terrorist groups, but there is an easier way; set a trap and lure them all in like moths to a flame. First, we gathered the support of dozens of countries, then we went and began the invasion. Soldiers stormed into Iraq, steadily wiping out the thugs that Saddam used to control the people. As our soldiers went through, they used a new tactic for a new kind of war. Terrorists are a tumor, one that must be removed, and so with surgical precision we went in to remove the thugs and practice our tactics. As we freed the people, we opened an important trade partner that we truly needed in another war, which I will mention later. Saddam was finally defeated, and so it was time to lay the trap. The act of doing what the UN refused to do on their own created enough publicity that the moths all turned to see the flame; who could resist attacking when their target was so close to home and easy to reach? All those who would have attacked out country instead flooded into Iraq, literally tens of thousands entering from every direction. Daily our people fight them, destroying far more than we lose. Every single day our country becomes safer, as does every other country in the world, even Iraq. As we fight the terrorists, we also work to help Iraq build up their own structure, creating a great country for the future. Little damage was done to their country in the original invasion, and now it is becoming much stronger. Even though we are struggling against a religious tyrant who made a power player to try and take control [Fallujah, etc.], we are making progress. The main benefit of this is an ally, one who actually supports us. No matter how small the country, it has potential to become one of the greatest in the world. Our own media is bias towards the side against Bush, and so it may seem that things are going down the toilet, but that is not true. We are making a huge amount of progress every day. We cannot leave yet, because the trap is not finished and because we still need to be there until our ally is strong enough to beat down those who wish to become the dictator or tyrant of Iraq. When we finally do leave, the world will be much safer after we exterminate thousands upon thousands of enemies who wish nothing less than to destroy us utterly. In the future, we will wish we had an ally if we have not lost. If we have lost, so has everything we stand for, as well as the chance of peace in the world ever after. When our enemies see that taking down the strongest country in the world was possible, nothing at all can stop them from tearing down country after country, destroying all things they disagree with, and there is nothing that atleast one group doesn't hate. This literally is a World War to me, because everything that is valued in this world is what is at risk, because every single country is fighting this war now. This is a war of secrecy and selective destruction. No one is neutral here, because everyone is either the target or the attacker. No matter who you are, you can't say that your country and your ideals are not under attack from these type of people. We cannot let them control us, and Bush knows that. We should have started our end of the war years ago, but no one had the drive until Bush came into office. I would trust him to make the proper decisions about our country. But that is not the only type of war we face. We also fight the war of commerce and economy. Recently, OPEC has attacked us. They purposefully raised the prices for an obvious reason: if they can hit us hard enough they can knock our economy back down. You may think I am paranoid, but this voluntary raising of the prices matches perfectly with the recovery of the American economy, and shows as we struggle against it to continue our daily lives and the economy slows down. However, a foresight by Bush may give us the boost we need to get back on our feet. Iraq is pretty large source of oil, and by setting the trap there we now have a fair ally with whom we can trade at reasonable prices. Many have accused Bush of doing this for money, but that is not true. Part of the reason was oil, but not for himself, instead for our country, to give us freedom. Right now, OPEC literally has control of us. If they wanted, they could almost totally shut down our markets by taking out our transportation. By entering Iraq, that can't happen. We can't run totally off of the oil from Iraq, but we can survive. The oil producing of Iraq is soaring with new technologies, and our ally may be able to support us enough that we cannot be controlled by OPEC. An even better thing to know is that much more oil is being discovered in Iraq than should be possible. The surveyors are mapping out the rest, and Iraq may be the largest resevoir of oil in the entire world. So much oil is being discovered that the science relating to oil is beginning to change. Too much oil is being found too deep all over the world, so much that scientists are beginning to think that oil is not created from rotted plants as we thought before, but from a natural process deep in the rocks. This means that oil may be renewing much faster than anyone thought, and that we have an ally who will trade us oil from the one of the largest resevoirs of oil in the world. Even though we found no WMDs, that originally had nearly no swaying power. His political enemies have focused a great deal on that one thing in a long list of reasons that was wrong, when so much else is working out so well. America will soon be the greatest it has ever been, exceeding anything anyone had ever planned. And if you are thinking of colonizing other planets in the future, Bush is supporting space travel a great deal so that we truly can achieve what many have dreamed of. We have to wait many years, but America will achieve a massive amount thanks to this invasion, enough that we may reach heights that no one imagined we could. What do you have to say? |
