Waging War: The Iraq War and its implications

The United States of America has always viewed itself as a Big Brother responsible for protecting others and helping them is desperate times. This may prove to be a Good Samaritan act. However, at times, circumstances apologise that things be done according to what is just. George Bernard Shaw once said that the reasonable human being reconciles himself to the world but the infatuated one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself that as a result, all progress dep extirpates on the unreasonable man. In the course of history, this appears to be the truth (Young, 1995).World Politics check out the relationship that exists among states today. Even the course of history is greatly affected by decisions pertaining to politics and international law. It has become a determining factor in assessing the harmonious relationship between and among states, recognizing equality, s overeignty and respect for power and office staff (Jensen, 1982).Quite noticeable is how, historically, States to what the United States has dictated. Political camaraderie has always been outlying(prenominal) much important than plain public service to subordinates and constituents. The Iraq War has amplify all the necessary details of unjust practice of desire for semipolitical advancement and world dominance (Graham 2000).This paper seeks to discuss how the Iraq war has not served its purpose at all, making it being unjustified all the more down the stairsstandable.The premise on Iraq war lies on the misery experience by the heap. President George W. render has aggressively pointed out that the threat of utensils of mass close such as chemicals and biological weapons, contribute to the misery of Iraq. This is because of the fact that sanctions in connection with this threat has added significantly to the poor living conditions of Iraqi people when it comes to the exercise of their freedom.President Bush labelled Saddam as a Madman in control of a very dangerous weapon and capable of spreading terror and strife. This argument has reached outlying(prenominal) and wide, magnifying the unjustified conditions of Iraqis under the leadership of Saddam Hussein. This is evident on the fact that for almost 25 million inhabitants of Iraq, the per capita income is becoming less and less comp ared to five or sixsome years ago.Its economy shrank to more than six percent and among its major problems are mortality, malnutrition and poverty. The life of the Iraqis on a daily basis has been tremendously difficult, out-of-the-way(prenominal) worse than its situation a decade ago. This is the main reason on which President Bush has hoped to bank on when convincing others to join in the United States plight to wage war against Iraq.Now that everything has been done and over with, has it been a justifiable cause? The answer is a resounding no Primarily because the condition of Iraq has not improved after such war waged against it. More significant is the fact that mo rtality rates fox increased, pain in the ass more American troops and Iraqis in the process. terrorist act has not reduced but all the more became rampant.Another argument is the catching of a madman on the loose. Saddam Hussein has been captured and his demise has not changed anything. Terrorism still exists, and his avid followers continue to fly high long after he is gone. The end result&8212- misery and struggle among the people. The war on Iraq is nix but a political move to help move American economy, which is practically a war economy.The fact that waging war would fleece support from other countries means that America would once again flourish in the eyes of so many people thinking that the deliveryman is here again. But come to think of it, has anything resulted from such war? excursion from achieving President Bush goal of seeing Saddam in his demise, nothing else has been considered a productive result. The claim of existence of weapons of mass destruction has be en prove futile. No proof f such claim has been produced.In effect, what could be concluded is the fact that the United States has took advantage of the terrorism issue, magnified it and pointed it straight off on Iraq, so that people all over the world pull up stakes sympathize and unite with them in removing Saddam and waging war. Presently, what we have is an Iraq with a civilian government, a more free society but at the end of it all still looms the fact that people are suffering, having lost the identicalness of a country invaded by foreign entities.The war on Iraq was base on less compelling reasons. At the expense of the people, President Bush has been successful in removing Saddam, but has he been successful enough in making true his promise that suffering and poverty will be addressed and given proper solution? NO.Years have already passed since the war, nut no improvement has been evident. The plight of the Iraqis now is far worse than when they had a dictator for a government.REFERENCESJensen, Lloyd.
