The Iraq war is illegal and amoral and should never have been waged.
In 2003 almost two years after the horrendous events of 9/11 the Bush Administration started saying that Iraq and it's leader Saddam Hussein were partly responsible for the hijackings. They also started to push information that Iraq was seeking nuclear material from Niger. They also insisted that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or WMDs. They told the American public through a massive media blitzkrieg that Iraq posed an imminent threat to America and her allies throughout the world. These cr...
Iraq war/Afghanistan War/War on Terror
I believe it was right to go into iraq and it is right to stay the course. I also believe that things are improving in Iraq due to the troop surge under the charge of General Patreus. I believe that it is right to destroy the terrorist cells on their own turf because if not they would have more training camps and a wider support base. I know that we are helping innocent Iraqis who want to make a better life for their families. I believe that the majority of Iraqis want a free society where they...
The Iraq War was necessary
To deny Saddam Hussein was not "part of the war on terror" would be to deny his past terrorist actions. Hussein was a well-known terrorist who used WMD and poison gas against his own people, killing hundreds of thousands of Kurds in the 1980's and burying them in mass graves. He routinely tortured his own citizens with electric shock and castration. He raped women and killed them in front of their families. Hussein long harbored one of the terrorists who bombed the World Trade Center in 1993. He...
The war in Iraq
I strongly disagree with the decision of war, we should'nt of even went to war with Iraq, I believe it was all decided upon Bushes' greed for wealth....
The war in Iraq was a joke
Round 1- Opening Remarks Round 2- Arguments Round 3- Conclusions I think that invading Iraq in the way that we did was a huge mistake and a waste of American lives. It could have been handled much better, and if anything it just destabilized the situation in the Middle East further....
Was the war in Iraq justified?
Just want to hear your argument. I say no because it was not even proven who the attackers of 9/11 were. Some speculations even say it was the government because they can enter Iraq. Discovery Channel (i think) interviewed the people who made the towers and they said, there is no way a simple plane crash could have leveled the building since the temperature was not hot enough to melt the beams unless something under the building was done, like C4's. Also, know WMD were found so why did we just s...
The United States going into Iraq and Afghanistan, and starting the War On Terrorism
The war in Iraq and Afghanistan and the War On Terror are a complete waste of American time, money, and lives. We were attacked by one group, not two nations. We also have no business poking our noses in the problems of another country when we have our own problems on the homefront....
The Invasion of Iraq Was an Illegal Act of War
I wish to debate the legality of the Invasion of Iraq in 2003. It is in my opinion, that this action was an illegal act of aggression in the eyes of the international law as manifested by the UN charter which clearly states in article 51: "Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peac...
The War on Iraq
I want to see if anyone can give any good reasons for continuing the war on iraq. Seeing as the person we went in looking for left a while ago, and the fact that we seem to be running around in their country causing more harm than good. Personally i think its a waste of time. While we spend billions of dollars just to keep up a useless presence over there our economy is crashing, granted they predict a recovery but until then what are we to do? It seems as though the only thing we do over there...
The Iraq War
Thanks to DAbest for accepting this debate. I before I start the debate, I'd like for my opponent to answer the following questions. 1) What would you have changed about the War in Iraq? 2) Do you think Saddam Hussein was an 'evil' man? Why or why not? 3) What were beneficial effects of the Iraq War? Unbeneficial?...
