Iraq War
How did pres. Bush get away with starting the war in Iraq? He wanted to send a clear message to terrorists that America would strike back. He said that "violence is all they understand". That's right. That's also why the war is such a failure. Violence is the one thing they're good at. He invaded Iraq to "make America safer". Unfortunately, he has done the exact opposite. He has actually provoked them to attack us more. Not to mention that Iraq is a completely innocent country; or was. Ironically, when we invaded Iraq, there was no link to Al Quaeda. Now Al Quaeda's all over Iraq. What do we do now?

This was a very interesting post to read because I had never thought of the war in that capacity as "violence and war are all they know and understand." To expand on that, is that really why President Bush wanted our troops to go in to Iraq? I also do not understand that if Iraq was completely innocent and had no links to Al Qaeda, then why did our president want us to start a war with them? I think that this is a very interesting topic.
Iraq was in no way in innocent country. Saddam killed countless numbers of his own people and was a ruthless and evil dictator. However, Iraq was not our war. We are not the world police. That is the job of the UN. Too bad the UN if amazinly inneffective(but that is a different problem). Because there were no terrorist connections in Iraq we had no buisness being there. I agree that we have caused more good than harm,and can see no way to reverse what we have done. Unfourtunalty the Iraq invasion has caused further destabilization in the middle east, creating potential for many more years of war.
