Americans entered Iraq and Afghanistan after numerous attacks including 9/11 on US and UK, the aim is to make these countries safer by attacking the terrorists on their own turf. Terrorist attacks have fallen greatly and the losses have been on a small scale to the 1,500 killed in one instant in the 9/11 attacks.
Also their is not alot America or Britain can do to stop these terrorists entering the country. Sure the majority arn't of European origin but a large amount of them have been in this country for generations and have contained their views for a large amount of time.
Some people would argue that the British and American's were the terrorists for invading IRAQ/AFGHAN but i think its comparitive to Israel/Gaza conflict. Hamas attacked Israel so Israel hit them alot harder. Some may say it was an act in self defence. 1,400 Palistinans were killed and 13 Israel's perished. |
I fully understand why the Americans invade Afghanistan because it was a country which was ruled from the Taliban and those people caused 9/11 its ok a country has the right to selfdefense.
But Iraq ? Why the Hell Iraq ? This has NOTHING to do with 9/11. Infact the Iraqis had NO connection NEVER to taliban terrorism and others. And this wasnt the reason why Bush said they want to invade Iraq most americans forget that easily or british. Bush said they have WEAPONS OF MASSDESTRUCTION and so USA needs to make a peventive strike against IRAQ. And he said there was evidence. Infact there was NO EVIDENCE. Thats why France and Germany said NO because it was WRONG the USA had NO reason to go into the IRAQ. Ok they had a fuckin regime and 2/3 of the population suffered but in africa are countrys where 100% of the population suffers and a lot more then in Iraq before the War.
In the end the americans where in Iraq and they found NOTHING not a sign of Weapons of Massdestruction. And there is NO connection between Terrorism and Iraq BEFORE the war. ofcourse now after USA and UK were not able to handle this country and there is just a weak government the terrorist can fi nd easily a lot of new members. But backthen there was One giant evil but now there are hundreds and the iraqis itself which said after USA was there the iraqis which were surpressed by Sadam Hussein said its NOW WORSE THEN EVER BEFORE.
And even Bush knew there was no connection between iraq and terrorism so he had to MAKE UP stuff which was evidently false. After the invasion all arguments before were non existant because there was simply NOTHING in Iraq. And even today Iraq is not a terrorist country. It was just wrong and this is where the anger comes from obviously heated up from the mistakes in the past. Do you knew that USA supported the Taliban and made them power in Afghanistan because they were in war with Russians.
I wonder why I know more about US/UK politics then some of US and UK citizens.
