Brief on the Iraq War

Thesis: The US government should pull US soldiers out of Iraq immediately because the benefits are not worth the costs.

Reason: Many lives have been lost and the trillions of dollars spent on the Iraq war have accomplished nothing in Iraq.

Evidence: The total casualty count of the Iraqi war is 4168 (http://icasualties.org/oif/default.aspx).

Evidence: Not many accomplishments have been made for the amount of casualties and the money spent (http://www.usaid.gov/iraq/accomplishments/).

Reason: Who is America to say that the Iraq government was not sufficient enough to sustain the citizens and try to intervene and implement a democratic government?

Evidence: ("We are there to complete a mission, and it's an important mission," he said. "A democratic Iraq is in the interests of the United States, and it's in the interests of laying the foundation for peace." – G.W. Bush) Bush only wants to stay in Iraq for American interests and he is not concerned about the Iraqi citizens’ interest (http://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/06/24/bush.iraq/).

Evidence: Not every citizen of Iraq wants a democratic government and lives lost in the war are lost in vain.

Evidence: A democratic government in Iraq most of the time will never come to a consensus because of the Shiite and Sunni conflict.

The War in Iraq

The Iraqi war was a response to the 9/11 attacks in the US. Many people were for the war because the public was persuaded that Iraq was the main cause for 9/11, and they had weapons of mass destruction that could be more of a threat to the US. The invasion of Iraq started March 2003. It is now 2007 and the US is still in Iraq trying to establish a democratic government so that Iraq could have order.

Since Iraq never had weapons of mass destruction, the US should have never invaded Iraq. The main reason to invade Iraq was to secure and destroy the threat Iraq had on the US and its allies. After 9/11, many people were for the war and wanted revenge for what happened. The government blamed Iraq for what had happened and many people believed the government for what had happened and supported the invasion of Iraq. Now, the Iraqi war has lost supporters and want to pull US troops out of Iraq. Since no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq, the government changed its agenda to liberating Iraq from a dictator.
