memorial day 2007- was the iraq war necessary
Bookmarked 709 weeks ago update: memorial day 2012: this is a video i made during the iraq war so much sadness so much pain was it really necessary we need to reexamine our reasons to go to war so a war of choice can never happen again ---this is the 5th memorial day since the iraq war begun it039s hard to believe the 2003 preemptive war by the bushneocons a war of choice is still going on this memorial day 2007 choice consists of the mental process of judging the merits of multiple options and selecting one of them while a choice can be made between imagined options quotwhat would i do if quot often a choice is made between real options and followed by the corresponding action wikipediaorgwikichoice was the iraq war necessaryby editorial office on february 23rd 2011 given the present economic conditions facing the world rising unemployment and public dissatisfaction with dictators and oppressive regimes was the us led iraq war really necessary might saddam hussein have been toppled from power by his own people at some point particularly in this spreading democratic movement through the regionsaddam husseinit will remain a question that will haunt the legacy of former president george w bush for many years however our view is that the war was not necessary though of all the mid-east potentates hussein was likely the last to fallsome may speculate whether the americanization of the iraqi government sowed the seeds of democratic thought in the region perhaps there is a scintilla of truth in that but the more likely cause of the revolutions is a growing dissatisfaction with poverty and unemployment coupled with a number of leaders who039ve stolen vast sums live like kings while their people starve social media provided the communication tool to network those dissatisfied citizens where america039s previous communications with rebel groups has failed for decadesmore than likely the people of the muslim world became and remain anti-american following the invasion of iraq while none complained that hussein was toppled from power many do fear american imperialism so this quotfacebook revolutionquot is more likely the result of the economic conditions people face than american democratic ideologythe governments that follow the age of middle eastern dictators may be more democratic but may not necessarily align themselves with western thought islamic fundamentalists will likely be equally rejected new governments will however probably adopt many islamic philosophies and principles and look much more to regional not international commercethey will likely distrust america russian chinese and european governments though over time commerce and mutual adaptation to each others039 ways will create a concorde d039etat peaceful non-threatening co-existence is the critical message that america and western powers must send to those new governments we must express a desire for fair commercial interaction without any threat of invasion or military presence unless called upon for assistancethis may be a huge boost to our national economy we could potentially shut down many military installations in the region if syria and iran fell to a more democratic form of government this would save our defense budget billions of dollars annuallya more stable relaxed world would help alleviate many of the global economic problems facing us all today increased trade would eventually replace animosity with camaraderie trust would develop and peace would exist for a long period however to achieve this the united states must stay far away from the temptation to meddle in the formation of these new governmentswe must not for example prevent the creation of constitutional monarchies in places like bahrain or afghanistan nor should we fear constitutional governments that lean more towards socialism rather it is incumbent upon us to offer our advice if asked and forever avoid paying dictators for their quotfriendshipquot which over the past 40 years has proven only to be disloyal at bestaugustus caesar fought many a battle but in his wake the roman empire experienced the quotpax romanaquot a generally peaceful period that lasted over 200 years we may have that golden opportunity to achieve the quotpax americanaquot and build a great future for our peopleepicurusinstituteorgwas-the-iraq-war-necessary603 |
