Paper Summary:
This paper discusses and answers the question whether the US attack on Iraq is justifiable or not, and by supporting this stance with details, facts and information regarding issue. It presents arguments such as the freeing the Iraqi people of a dictator and providing them with freedom of rule. It also looks at the real threat of weapons of mass destruction and questions whether the U.S. has the right to launch such an attack.
From the Paper:
"It is important that to understand the political issue of war against Iraq, a discussion of the US government's reasons for planning the attack against Iraq is needed. In the research that the author of this paper had conducted, there are three (3) main reasons why the US is motivated to declare war against Iraq. The first aim of the US government for planning the attack on Iraq is that it wants to prevent, and eradicate the threat that Iraq poses on the safety and security of the US nation. Secondly, the threat of Iraq's use of deadly weapons against the US (and possibly, on other nations) also poses another serious and more deadly threat, possibly threatening the security and stability of all nations in the world: the success of Iraq's attack against US (if Iraq will be successful in destroying the freedom, stability, and security of the nation) will lead to the eventual spread of Saddam Hussein's (leader-dictator of Iraq) power not only over Iraq, but also possibly in the whole of the Middle Eastern region. Thus, if US will not attack Iraq first, there is the possibility that Iraq will continuously terrorize US through its terrorist activities, and this is a truly dangerous possibility for people who value freedom and equality. Lastly, and perhaps the reason that most concerns the Iraqis, the US attack on Iraq will eventually result to a free Iraq, with no Saddam Hussein to dictate, abuse, and corrupt its people, ending years of helplessness and suffering of the civilians, the Iraqis, from Hussein's "iron fist" dictatorship, and constant abuse and violence that he subjects to all people whop fail to subordinate himself to Hussein. The following texts will discuss and support in detail the following reasons, answering the question of the necessity for the US to stage an attack against Iraq."
