I supported the Iraq war, Now I know there were no WMD's found in Iraq. But surely you can’t use that as the sole reason to oppose everything else that has happened. Even if WMD’s are taken out of the picture, you can’t escape the fact that an evil, terror-spreading, oppressive dictatorship (committing genocide on hundreds of thousands of innocent Kurds as one of many examples) has been replaced by a government of the people, by the people, for the people! How can you oppose that!?
These people now live in a free democratic country in which they can chose who they want to be their leader, chose their own future, their own destiny, they can chose what to wear, eat, drink, buy, y’know they can go and buy a computer games console or a mobile phone.
We are not occupying, that’s implying that we are Nazis occupying France in WW2 which we are NOT! we are staying there to stabilise a fragile Iraqi government that is coming under attack by terrorists and Iran.
I know Iraq is in a bit of a mess at the minute, but eventually in the long term, the Iraqi army will gradually take over from us and stability will be stored. Then Iraq, will be just like any other country like Italy for the sake of example.
Remember Germany and the Berlin wall, and those problems that existed back then? Well look at Germany now, and that’s what I think Iraq would be in the future, it might take as long as 50 years, but eventually it will be like the west has become today. I know the middle-east is a total mess and it will be for a long time before that improves yet, but so was Europe back in the day, now look at it, an entirely democratic, peaceful, prosperous and freedom loving continent, and this is how I envisage the entire middle-east decades from now! And Iraq is basically the staging point and inspiration for all the democracies of the middle-east.
I supported the Iraq war because I believe it was and is the right thing to be doing, that as liberating evil, oppressive regimes with governments that are accountable to their own people, nations whom live side by side in peace and harmony, with the European example as my inspiration for a better world all over.
I agree with the second answer, i know i did'nt enlist into the army, but that does'nt mean i can't support it and love the troops. Just to ask daveoddity91, about how you said "we should not attack anyone until they attack us". Well does that mean, we should stand by and let people be opressed? If this were WW2, would you stand by and let the holocaust happen? I'm sure you would'nt, it's just i believe where-ever there is evil in the world, we should go and confront it! Where-ever there are people being oppressed we should go and put an end to it, i know that if i saw a women being raped, i would go and try to rescue her as an example.
To Mr Ayatolla, i would love for us to go liberate Sudan, Zimbabwe and Burma, and i know that we have'nt done this (yet) The reason is not because we don't want to which shows our hypocrascy which your trying to imply. But because we can't be everywhere all over the world, we simply don't have the resources to be everywhere at once, so we have to start somewhere, and that somewhere was Iraq.
