Bush's Invasion of Iraq

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the suspected development of WMDs by Iraq was not the only reason for attacking Iraq; the most compelling reason was the appalling human rights record of Saddam Hussein, the most cruel, evil tyrant on the surface of the earth, who killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people who opposed him. The author points out that, in the post-9/11 scenario, it was imperative for the terrorists, rogue regimes, such as of Saddam and other enemies of the United States, to realize that the world's only super power was no "paper tiger". The paper relates that Iraq, after being freed from the clutches of dictatorship, is now confidently embarking on the road to democracy despite formidable hurdles.

From the Paper:

"Now let us look at the other positives that have followed the US invasion of Iraq. Unlike the predictions of most critics, who had expected a long drawn out battle with heavy casualties at the start of the war, the Saddam regime was toppled in three weeks with minimum casualties and with most of the country's infrastructure intact, including its oil fields. This achievement by the US forces was an improvement even over the Gulf War I, generally considered to be "very successful," in which the retreating Iraqi army had set many Kuwaiti oil wells on fire triggering an environmental disaster."
