Oil is the reason because I have a really hard time remembering when the U.S. ever cared about people being tortured in terms of going with war against those dictators/regimes? There are at least 50 more countries right now in the world (as I read in press) with dictatorship regime that punish and kill people in ways similar to this one. Why Iraq? Connections to Al-Qaeda? Oh, come one, Al-Qaeda is a world-wide organization - France, Germany, China, Russia and probably even America itself has such connections. But no one goes against Germany or China today. Because they are strong and can defend themselves. While Iraq is a goldmine to States. Plenty of oil (great timing as well, just when the U.S. started experiencing trouble with oil reserves), economic recession - what better way to improve your economy then by waging war?
Anyways, this is just my personal view of the reasons for this war. Of course history books will lie once again by educating young kids sometimes from now that war against Iraq was part of the world war on terrorism and cruel regime of Saddam... I don't really care much myself as I have no interest in taking any sides. Just commenting my way out of this.
PS: I'm more curious about where Osama and Saddam are. Both have been #1 targets (supposebly) - none was found.
PS2: On the other hand, I have to state that it made me sick looking at how Saddam and his family lived while the whole country was poorly living in fear, it made me sick of how they "managed" their own people. Sick to my stomach. I'm glad they are a target now and I'm glad some of them ended up dead. But its just a personal feed og mine. Not the answer to the question "Reason to war".
Best,
since Osama & Hussein are out of sight and nowhere to be found, US is still in "danger".....
