I just didn\'t like the arrogance of the u.s. right before we invaded,...we basically just gave the other major powers of the world the finger,...and while i know the u.s. shouldn\'t let anybody tell us what to do, but i think when everybody is telling you not to invade, you need to step back and reflect on your decision,....then there was that big fallout with the french....even tho, China and Germany didn\'t agree with us it seems that France caught the most heat from us.....New York even went as far as to name french fries "freedom fries"...:rolleyes:...and they even took the statue of liberty off of their license plates...a gift that the french gave to us and is a major landmark for new york city to this day,...even then i heard people say..."take back your statue of liberty..we don\'t want it here"....I was angry about 911 just as much as the next guy, but our anger was directed at the wrong folk....

And it\'s a bit disturbing to see what the u.s. will do when other countries don\'t agree us,...of course it comes down to who\'s in charge,.but still the decisions bush made has put the u.s. in a financial meltdown for years to come....honestly how do you really expect the u.s. to function with us spending 12 billion dollars a month in iraq?....and the war may not be the sole cause of the poor u.s. economy, but it is a huge part of it....i just wasn\'t sold on this war from the jump...not once did i feel an urgency for us to go over there and throw out saddam...to wrap this up,..for me this is what i think bush saw..

-An opportunity to scare terrorists with a show of military might...*which backfired*

-An opportunity to have a solid foothold in the middleast with an ally in iraq.

-An opportunity to maybe get special deals or rates when it comes purchasing oil from the iraqi\'s...


It should be noted that shortly after the mission accomplished fiasco,...when the insurgents started heating things up,...bush went back to the u.n. to ask those same countries for help....and of course they rejected him,....we\'ll see how this war turns out, but this thing is far from over....

Clips the aim was never to suppress terrorists. The war was directed towards the middle east regardless of who attacked or not. Fighting terrorists was an excuse.

Once the 911 happened, there was a consistent repetition of terrorists in the media until it became an obsession. After that, people could see terrorists attackers in any direction that the military and the government pointed to.

The government made a connection between Iraq and terrorists. This obsession about "terrorists" made people identify Saddam and his regime with the same kind of terrorists that you were told you were threatened from since 911. He was irrelevant. Weapons of Mass Destruction they told us. They were never there. Then they told us that the aim was to overthrown Saddam. Primary purpose to supposedly liberate Iraqis from his regime. As if the US government suddenly became humanitarians and was willing to sacrifice American lives and your taxes for the good of Iraqis without anything in return. As if the US never supported dictators before. Saddam was jailed and was ignored. Saddam became an insignificant no-one who was humiliated and executed at the backstage as if he was never a part of the picture.

War continues. Conflicts appear in their own homeland that never existed before. They are called "terrorists". In reality they do not differ from any previous form of civil war. But the word "terrorists" is being used all the time as if it is a unique occasion of "war on terror". It is though an internal imbalance in Iraq that was expected to happen if the US interfered and it happened just as everyone expected. It was done on purpose. The 911 incident gave the excuse.

So again. War on Terror against who? 911 terrorists? Al Qaeda? Bin Landen? Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Iraqis? The same "message" repeated in 2001 due to the 911 is used for anything related to the middle east until today as if they were the same kind as the 911 terrorists. They are unrelated.

If the 911 wouldnt have happened most likely the US wouldnt have made a war in Iraq or report supposed threads from the middle east even if the situation was the same as it is today

At least our politicians have been forthright and honest with us since the get go.
