War in Iraq, Right or Wrong?

The war in Iraq has been a problem for everybody in the world in some way. Despite what everybody else thinks, I am in favor for this war on terror, and you should be too.
First of all, the war has raised our economy. Since 9/11, the economy has gotten better and better (except the housing market which recently dropped) due to us waging a war, which creates jobs and people buy more goods.
Second, If we left Iraq right now, the country would fall apart. Right now in Iraq, the only reason a terrorist dictator hasn't taken over is because of our military rule. If we left, a couple days later, you would see some evil dictator take over again, and there would be another attack similar to 9/11.
Last, the people who live in Iraq need to experience what a good government is like. A government where you can decide who you want to run the country, decide what turns into a law, and have the freedom to do almost anything you want. Everybody in the world should be able to experience this.

Once, when i was younger naive and trusting I thought the war on terror was a good thing. Now, I see it as the most virulent form the US imperialism and oppression.

First, this war is a threat to national sovereignty.

Some facts

1. We put the Taliban in power.
2. We supported them before sept 11.
3. The UN recognized Afghanistan as a sovereign state.

What the means is that the original attack was an invasion of a nation, under the guise of searching for terrorists that they may or may not have. The assault was
brutal and lay waste to civilian and military targets alike. The vast majority of the Taliban officials escaped and Bush said he is no longer interested in Bin Laden. This means all the war did was give the United States a foothold in the middle east, a place where we have few Arabic friends.

Iran was even worse....

Facts -
1. UN inspectors told Bush that there were no WMDs.
2. The US invasion killed thousands of civilians, many more then Saddam.
3. The region was much more stable under Saddam.

The United States belies that Democracy is necessarily for everyone, and yet we can clearly see it has a hard time working in Iraq. After invading a second sovereign nation, the United States committed wholesale slaughter of the innocent with out missiles and planes. Now we are stuck in the middle of a religious batter, that has turned from a blood war into an all out attack on our boys. We patched the arguments between the Sunis and Shites in that they have come together to drive back the invading scum.

All of the worst forms of US Hegemony are present in the WOT

1. Ignoring international opinion.
2. Large scale use of hard power.
3. Challenges of sovereignty, which legitimizes large scale invasion of any country we view as a threat.
4. Threat construction, Bush lied about the WMDs and USED US to fight his ideological war, this is what Hitler did.
5. "Terror Talk" Bush used the discourse of an invisible threat to fight his never ending WOT, we can never win so the war can never end.
6. Air power - it is far easier to annihilate targets with civilians at risk from the air, soldiers don't feel personal responsibility.
7. Democracy promotion - this imperialistically fails and leads to failed states, which are the most likely senerio for a global war.
8. Exploitation - We could feed every US citizen with the cost of one day of the war.

I cannot deny the fact that the war is a problem in some ways including cost and how the war was handled by President Bush, but think about how much good it is doing.
Some of your facts are true, the United States put the taliban in power (In Afganistan, not Iraq) and at one point the United States even trained and supplied Osama Bin Laden himself. Also, the world does have a different opinion on the war in Iraq than the U.S. does. Many countries in this world do not understand Democracy, liberty, and freedom. They dont understand how it helps people be who they are and live freely. Our war in Iraq has helped people in the country of Iraq understand what it means to be free. One point I do need to bring up is this; The United States is not a imperialistic country like you said. The age of Imperialism is long and gone. Just like how we went in and defended countries when they were being invaded, other countries would do the same to us if they had to. Finally, you did not address what would happen with Iraq if we left tommorow, which is a large problem with the war, We just cant leave now that its started.

Hegemony is the modern Imperialism, rather then being directly imperialist we keep our influence at such a level that the threat of American "intervention" looms over every country who lacks hard power. Chavez even called the US out on these policies in his "Bush is a Devil" speech, where he quotes Noam Chomsky talking about how in modern terms the United States is effectually imperialist the world over, and its hard to denigh that our intervention in Iraq was not an example of this.

On the line by line

First the contries that oppose us are not democracy hating freaks, for example in Franc the Socialist party keeps losing by a small vote to the extreme right wing, and yet they opposed us in Iraq. Germany is the face of a progressive state today (who the hell saw that coming)and yet, off the bat they opposed our policies. Our use of hard power has lost us all the soft power Clinton (whom I dislike) built for us. This is at best bad diplomacy and will insure out insecurity in the future. This means that even with us crushing "the threat" in the middle east, anti-Americanism is at an all time high.

The Iraqi understanding of freedom must be horrible. Under Saddam they were safe in their life so long as they were not Kurds. In freedom they are opressed by a racist military who can't even speak the language and whos hired contracts kill civilians (BLACKWATER). This is not freedom, this is "Imposed freedom" and this is the must virulent form of oppression. Iraq is "the camp" where life is reduced to bare existence while the people live under martial law and an occupying force.

We can't leave tommaorw, that dosen't mean I have to support the war, nor the morons who committed it to us. Bush needs to get down on his knees and tell the international community what they already know, he screwed up. He needs to beg the UN and NATO to take over his occupation and stabilize this country. Bush's ideologically based politics are an effective genocide and he is a criminal. This unilateral occupation needs to end, now.

The war WAS WRONG. The fact that we HAVE TO STAY proves this.

Also you don't address that the war is beause of my 3-7 arguments. This means you either agree, or can't find points against them. All of these are in depended reasons why the WOT (War on Terror) is bad.
