GG IRAQ

[Hairydude]

Maybe i'm a cynic but maybe we should have to wait 5 year, maybe 10, maybe even 20 years before we will really know if this exercise has done well for democracy(or making the world a safer place for that matter).

We dont really know how strong their government structure is as we have our western armies there as a backbone. Just look at a lot of the african nations where there are coup d'etats all over the shop over the past 30 years.

[action man]

your all morons. How can iraq be better off when 1 million off its people are dead?

remember the war was based on them having weapons of mass distruction. This sure was the case.
Blair and bush should be in jail. 
Nice debate on the subject here. Follow the links for the rest. [   ] hitchens sure didnt get it handed to him

we have left the iraqi people with a democracy we should of ;eft them with in 1991 yes we are 18 years late
we have also made the world safer by removing a safe haven for terroists

i am proud of our troops and am glad that the iraqi people have a say in the running of there country

i feel the middle east is alot safer without saddam invading his neighbours

your off your nut ironside.
We have made the world safer by invading iraq and making muslims all over the world so mad that they are willing to blow up thereselves in order to kill some of us?
All the war was good for was creating new terrorist cells all over the world. Wasnt too long ago we were friends with Saddam and selling him weapons and advising where to point them. Some people's memory's are short.

No, the reason we went into Iraq was so that the companies connected to the military-industrial complex would get nice big fat juicy contracts paid for by the US government. Also, it provided access to the 2nd biggest oil reserves in the world, at a time when the US couldn't be guaranteed of access to the largest country (an Islamic revolution in Saudi Arabia would have seen the taps turned off to the US).

It wasn't to do with WMD.

It wasn't to do with finishing off his dad's job (because GWB wasn't really running things, was he - he was doing what he was told)

[action man]

saddam killed a lot of Iriq'is. How many have george bush and tony blair kill?

Anyone who thinks Iraq is better off post war, when millions of Iraq'is are dead, are crazy imo.
