Most Americans and a nearly unanimous Congress did (and no, they were not fooled). I am no exception.
Was it necessary with the benefit of hindsight? Not in my opinion. It was meant to end the long and costly state of war (the no-fly enforcement), enforce UN sanctions especially on WMDs, and to show other Arab states that a republic was something they could obtain. It took as many years as the no-fly enforcement so that was a bust. There were no WMDs as Hussein fooled even his own generals in order to scare off an attack from Iran while Iraq was so weak so that was a bust. The republic has become sectarian and not very democratic so that was a bust.
When you say US. Who do you mean America? Did America invade Iraq on it's own?
Try asking the question correctly, like 'Did you think it was necessary to invade Iraq?'
Personally, I believe Bush and Blair are war criminals of the highest order.
No i am not support the Iraq war . It's not a right way to prove them.
I don't think war is ever necessary, but it is a nice to be able to keep a better watch on our oil supply which they like to threaten to cut us off on. However, I do think it was pretty risky and moronic, knowing the soviets basically crashed there economy trying to do it first.
No I did not.
The war was based on a tissue of lies.
I wrote to my MP & I attended Stop The War rallies.
But it did no flipping good, because our soldiers were already in the country doing US biding.
Saddam had NO WMDs, had no connections to terrorists & the invasion was soon proved to be purely to seize Iraqi Oil.
Hell No !
Big bush got low ratings for not going into Baghdad,little bush thought if he went into Baghdad he would be a hero.Hussein didn't have anything to do with bin ladin.
2,726 dead,for political reasons.
Bin laden was in Pakistan the whole time,pakistan should be bombed off the face of the earth for hiding him,then lying about it.
Yes, and I will also support the next ones with Iran and Korea . Getting tired of terrorist and rouge nations , especially when they attack our allies and carry out terrorist acts on our soil. I say we are far from finished sending the message.
Nope. No one listened to me then when I told then exactly how it would go down, and they sure didn't care when I said I told you so.
No way.
It cant be won and was wasting our country more and more taxpayer money every day. It might even have been a conspiracy.
I support everything our presidents and America does. This country gives me freedom, I give them spirit.
Did you think it was necessary for us to go in invade Iraq?
No I didn't, and no I don't. I am not alone!
