It has caused misery and suffering to lots of really poor people, who don't actually hate americans as much as you would believe. Attacking innocent people doesn't help that attitude ofcourse and my country we did the same. Australians went to Iraq like the British, Dutch, Spanish, etc/ |
This is what a lot of people... including europe doesn't get. Attacking Iraq wasn't the problem. Not being prepaired to take care of iraq after the war started was the mistake.
Pre-Iraq War the majority of Iraqi's were pro US... and many wanted us to invade. It was only after bush botched everything up that popular opinion turned against the US.
Had Bush
A) Had enough troops to secure vital places to iraq's infastructure as they moved, rather then just US interests.
and
B) Kept Sadam Hussein's Army in employment and weeded out the Hardcore bathists from those in the party simply for the job.
Iraq would of been on it's feet with minimal trouble... the Iraqi's would of been happy and everything would of been great.
The US of course would of still hated Bush when they found out the foriegn intellegence was wrong... but everything else would of been fine.
I was against the war. However there was a correct way to do it if you were going to do it.
Bush didn't... they went in seemingly without a plan and fucked everything up.
