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.

I assume you are arguing against the war, but are you suggesting a "withdrawal" or are you going to argue for some other resolution? The direction of it seems to be missing. Make sure you re-read your posts. Read them out loud to help recognize either long sentences or odd syntax.
