Was the war against Iraq justified

[Ryski The Summoner]

Was Tony Blair and George Bush justified about going to war?
Was it a good idea at the time?
Was it REALLY a good idea?

1)From what they said, yes, it was justified.

2)Um....it might be......

3)Pro-War, yes. Otherwise, maybe....at least we got rid of the three.

1. War is never really justified. You can give all sorts of reasons, but there isn't any excuse that can change the fact that you are ordering people to kill one another.
2. I doubt it. I'm sure we could have found another way to solve our problems.
3. I would say no. I really don't see a plus side to bloodshed.

how many wars are actually in all perspectives justified?

The war on iraq was based on total assumptions. We killed people, and found nothing that they promised us. It wasn't justified. No.

The war in Iraq wouldn't be that big of an issue if it wasn't for the fact that Bush gave some false ideas to the population.

You are justified in going to war if someone attacks you; naturally, you have to defend yourself. This concept didn't really apply to the war in Iraq, however, since its justifications were ambiguous.

I also think that if your going to invade a country, you do it quickly and get out, so that it can be forgotten. The more it drags out, the more other countries will start to despise you.

And then we have the price and the financial burden it places on the U.S tax payers.

1. war is justified by human nature, wether its right or wrong, humans tend to destroy.

2. when there are so many diffrent views in the world, it is nearly impossible to come to a reasonable solution with a radical from a people that are ruled by a leader that wants them to kill the other.

3. the plus side to bloodshed is there is always a root to pull out, so its possible to rout bloodshead.


now, i dont know whether this is a 100% sure or not, but most of the anti-coalition fighters in iraq are NOT iraqis but terrorists/troops/? fighting to keep out western ideals out of the middle east. it is not iraq fighting but those that are afraid of change.

humans tend to destory...

they don't 'Have' to destory, its their own falut for deciding that... so their ain't justsified, because they didnt have to do it...
