I thought former President Bush declared war on Iraq due to the reason of suspecting that Iraq held weapons of mass destruction. However, after many years of fighting there, no WMD have been found. Doesn't that make the United States wrong in our invasion of that country?

First of all, we fought the Iraq war without Congress' approval. Then we are proven wrong by our own words. Still I haven't a single apology from the US government concerning this matter to explain why their "intelligence failed".

Even if we did offer an apology, doesn't this mean that we invaded a foreign country based on false pretenses? Basically we killed innocent civilians because we thought they were a threat. But this "threat" was misplaced. So aren't we like the police officer who shoots down a black man due to racism?

The fact is this: we just killed and are continuing to kill innocent people.

Those who are narrow-minded might say: "Iraq is full of terrorists!"
Based on what? Where's your proof? The brainwashed media of the US?
Assuming that you're right about that, how is one country going to wipe out all terrorism in the world? Terrorism is an ideology, not a physical thing that can be pinpointed to a single location.

Don't even bring 9/11 into all of this, because FYI that was Afghanistan, not Iraq. Get your facts straight. We defeated Afghanistan due to the 9/11 attack and then we declared war on Iraq due to WMD. When we didn't find any, we continued with our invasion since it "furthered the promotion of democracy".

Who says Iraq wanted to become a democracy? A country is like a family. Do any families in your neighborhood manage you family affairs? Come on, the Iraq war is purely illegal. Anyone with half a brain can see through this propaganda about terrorism.

i think they're testing us as a global society and they want to see how far they can push us before we stand up against them. maybe if there was massive protests in 2005 they would have realised information about finding WMDs in 2005. Now they know that no matter how far they go we just go along with it...

Back in 1988, I believe it was, there was all kinds of evidence that Saddam was trying to get his hands on a nuclear weapon.

This is a Calutron. I'm pretty sure he wasn't using it to wash his over-sized underwear.


Here's some more reading.

Iraqi Nuclear Weapons

My question is... Why now? Bush? Really? Don't you know, just from the last few months, that the U.S. Government (congress) does whatever it wants? How could anyone here at ATS possibly even begin to answer you as none of us have the slightest say whatsoever.

In all seriousness though, nobody really knew if Saddam had stopped pursuing his goal of acquiring WMD's or not. He already displayed his willingness to gas whole towns and such.

I think of it like this...

If your neighbor got caught molesting a child, would you let him babysit yours just because two years has gone by?

American intelligence : Remember this www.youtube.com...

Does anyone remember how many the British SAS and Task force K-Bar killed in Tora Bora. Non and captured non. The Bombing of Tora Bora was nothing but a news display for you and me.

I don't think it would be necessary. They had so many backup reasons, it wouldn't matter. Besides, look at all the Republican fans who supported each new reason for the invasion.

Are you saying Saddam gave the weapons to someone else to hold? That is kinda ludicrious. If he had them, he would have used them.
