PLEASE NO FLAMES!!!! NO FLAMES PLEASE!!!!!
I have been confused to why people have opposed the war. People always give reasons, but I fell that these people really do not know truly what led to this war. They give reasons that don?t make much sense.
Some of these reasons include:
We are fighting for oil:
The U.S. has stated many times that the oil will remain Iraq?s and will be a source of wealth to the Iraq people when Saddam is out.
We should have waited longer before going to war:
France said they would veto ANYTHING at the U.N. that had to do with IRAQ. This destroyed diplomacy. Iraq has been giving the world the finger for 12 whole years since the first gulf war. They were supposed to allow weapon inspectors full access to all areas, but they never did this. They have not complied in 12 years.
Innocent people are going to die:
This is an actual true argument. While I do not wish for any American, or any other member of the coalition of the willing to die, many people die in Iraq by Saddam. Saddam kills his own people. Saddam and his own sons have killed family and many other people in Iraq. I?ve heard the number of direct deaths by Saddam is in the thousands. How could someone that is against the death of innocent people want Saddam to remain in power?
We shouldn?t go to war because the whole world doesn?t agree:
TOUGH! It does not matter. Some people in the world are never going to agree with the U.S.A. They hate the idea of democracy and hate what we stand for. They just disagree out of hate for us. Who cares what these countries think, they are never going to help us with anything.
There are other arguments, and I would be happy to give my take on them, but what it all boils down to is Saddam is a lunatic that kills his own people that has disobeyed U.N. resolutions for 12 years, and people think it?s just fine that he does that. They think it is fine that he gives the world the finger.
