Review Icon Thetoad45 reviewed No, the war itself was illegal and unjustifiable in Do you believe the war in Iraq was justified?:
The first Gulf War was fought for one reason only. To protect the flow of oil to the west. The second Gulf War was a personal decision by baby Bush in retaliation for the attempted assassination of Bush sr.
If we used our resources and had a policy to be energy efficient we wouldn't need to be over there. If one looks at Arab history we will note that any time of peace has occurred when the Arab countries were ruled by leaders who used an iron fist. They were more than happy to stay within their borders and slaughter their own people. Bush was warned by Arab specialists and the Saudi King about upsetting the balance of power in the area yet went ahead anyway thinking he would be hailed a liberating hero. Well, he was wrong and we are now faced with a quagmire that will never get better. Arabs cannot live in a true Republic style of country. We are defending people who for the most part want our money and scream for us to build them utilities and schools yet will not take up arms to fight off the extremists and rebuild a society based on Democracy. They fail to understand as our founders knew that freedom isn't free. As soon as we leave the society we have set up over there will collapse and what will emerge will be along the lines of what we fought to replace. Eventually the balance of power would be returned but not without many deaths. I would tell the people over there that we are leaving in two months and the decision to fight or flight is entirely up to them. Put the burden where it belongs. On the people. If they want it they will throw the extremists out. If not, they get what they deserve.

Review Icon heathemerson reviewed Many believe that the Iraq war is justified whether there are WMD or not... in Iraq, Weapons of Mass Destruction and the War (Updated):
uhhh yeah that wasn't the reason for going to war, if anyone would pay attention. we went to iraq to get rid of that scum hussein and to help establish democracy in an important region of the world. oil is what drives this world's economy and we will be using that stuff until the very end. thats looking out for our country's future if you ask me. the world is too big for us to turn completely green and there will never be world peace so we can all get off that subject.

Review Icon Ladywolf70 reviewed No, the war itself was illegal and unjustifiable in Do you believe the war in Iraq was justified?:
We were SUPPOSED to be going after Al Quada, the terrorits who planned then executed the attack on America that resulted in the collapse of the twin towers and the deaths of so many people.
Instead, Bush and his cohorts used the attack as an excuse to attack an oil rich nation. I say excuse because a think tank called the "Project For A New American Century" that had come up with a "plan for America" which included attacking Iraq had sent letters suggesting such an attack as early as 1998, to the Clinton Administration. Look it up on Wikipedia, it's all there.

Review Icon James76255 reviewed The Iraqi War is Unconstitutional in Why War with Iraq was Wrong:
The constitutionality has never been officially settled, but it's another form of manipulating the Constitution and the fact that, like it or not, politics play a part in everything. Technically speaking, it might be unconstitutional, but if it is it's because of an unconstitutional decision made by Congress in the early 70s, which wasn't unusual for the time. United States involvement in Korea and Vietnam were "police actions", or war without it being declared. Particularly after Vietnam, some people looked to stop the president from using this end around for using military force, so congress passed the War Powers Resolution in 1973 which requires the president to get approval of Congress 60 days before using military force. The fact of the matter is this is no different than a declaration of war. It's just a way of someone having the room to technically say, "Hey, this was his idea."

Review Icon FranksWildYears reviewed Our Soldiers may turn into psycho-killers when they return in Why War with Iraq was Wrong:
One of the more farcical entries on this generally silly list.  A cynical person would point out that the root cause of such an outcome would be in the recruiting process, but I'm not such a cynic.

They may. But then, they may not. What a childish argument. You seem to enjoy making general rules out of some sporadic and uncommon exceptions. Grow up, man.
