If it wasn't for oil, and it wasnt for freeing the Iraqi people, and Iraq wasn't a threat to us then what was it for?
For all any one knows its possible that this administration really thought that they were going to march in and take over and there would be no strong resistance. In that case it was for oil.. they probably just really botched the plan now that oils expensive and people are dying. |
Not because we have a big heart, but for our own long term protection. The theory is that if we impose democracy on them, and introduce the idea of more personal freedom and rights, then eventually the region won't produce so many violent fanatics. It's going to take a long time, and it might fail miserably, but it is worth a try. It is unacceptable for that many people to be living in a 12th century mindset in 2005, and something has to be done about it.
