War in Iraq the Conflict

War in Iraq The conflict between Iraq and a coalition of thirty-four nations led by the United States of America is generally referred to as the 'Persian Gulf War', the 'Gulf War', the 'War in the Gulf', the 'Iraq Kuwaiti Conflict', the UN Iraq Conflict', the Desert Storm', the '1990 Gulf War', and so on. The war started when Iraq invaded Kuwait during the month of August 1990.

When this happened, the immediate result was that of the passing of various economic sanctions on the part of the UN, or the United Nations, against Iraq. By the month of January 1991, hostilities had commenced in full swing, and what resulted was a complete victory for the coalition forces, which in turn forced Iraq out of Kuwait, albeit with a minimum of coalition deaths. The main battle was with Iraq, Kuwait, and certain bordering areas, including Saudi Arabia.

(Gulf War: Wikipedia: The free encyclopedia) The Iraqi War had certain consequences that had not been foreseen by the planners of the War. Some of these are: the entire world has now come to know and recognize the U.S.A. For the power seeker that she is, and also that the U.S.A. does not, in fact, want the well being and the welfare of the people of the world; instead, what she wants is more and more power for herself.

Democracy and the upkeep of this vital element for the welfare of the people of the world are by and large ignored by the United States of America, and it is high time that the people of America started to recognize and to acknowledge this fact. What is more important is that American citizens must now learn to distance themselves from their political leaders. (The Global Awakening caused by the Iraqi War) The U.S. Government, the U.S.

media, and the Western media in general suffered from a loss of prestige during the Iraq War, and one of the main reasons for this may be the intense publicity and propaganda that is now generated by any event anywhere in the world and the easy manner in which the news can travel all over the world in a matter of mere minutes. In addition, the fact that the U.S. leaders considered the media to be a veritable 'war machine', and this could have been avoided.

What is now widely believed is that the Iraqi War has caused a general degradation of values and morale among the people of the world, and it is believed that the world is now heading for a 'world dictatorship', and not a world democracy as is desired if there were to be any modicum of peace in the world. (The Global Awakening caused by the Iraqi War) Why is the U.S.A.

taking part in the Iraq War? Why should it be there, and why should it not be there? In June 2004, the U.S.A. reached a turning point wherein it was able to pass over the sovereignty of the country to an interim Government made up of Iraqis, and though this was done, American involvement in the War is highly questionable, and the real reason why America got herself involved is a moot question.

The Bush Administration has always stated that Saddam Hussein possessed several weapons of mass destruction, and that Iraq had an active nuclear war program planned out, and also that Iraq had made quite a few attempts to obtain uranium from Africa, and that Iraq had several highly dubious and questionable links with the Al-Quaeda militant outfit that was responsible for the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in America, in which more than thousands of innocent American citizens lost their lives and limbs.

The general idea that the U.S.A. brought out was that Saddam Hussein had to be removed if the security of the United States and of her people were to be ensured. However, it is now more than a whole year after the fall and the public capture and humiliation of Saddam Hussein, and there has been no evidence to prove that what the Bush administration had stated was in fact true, to any small extent.

How do Americans react and respond and feel about the involvement of their country in the Iraq War? The research shows that the general opinion is split equally, with 30% of the people stating that they do indeed feel safer now that Saddam is out of the way, and another 31% state that there has been no real difference in their feelings of security before and after the capture of Saddam. What is the opinion about whether the U.S.

should have been there in the Iraq War or not? (America at War) The fact is that, in general, humanitarian intervention in a war, anywhere in the world, is accepted as a necessary thing, and also as an accepted fact of life, wherein the states that can afford to intervene and offer humanitarian help are welcomed with open arms. In this case, the intervention of the U.S.A.

is not viewed by many as being humanitarian in any way, and it is a lesser-known fact that the Security Council had not actually approved the intervention. The Human Rights Watch, which usually keeps a lookout for the state of affairs in the world, takes no part in the issue of the involvement of any particular state in any war, and because of the fact that the U.S.

intervention in the Iraq War was not actually meant to save human lives from mass slaughter and death, the Human Rights Watch had no choice but to let the affairs run their course. However, it is the general public opinion that the U.S.A. And her troops should not be there. (War in Iraq: Not a Humanitarian Intervention) What actually did the U.S.A. hope to gain from her intervention in the Iraq War? It is the general belief that the U.S.A.

did hope to gain complete control of the vast oil fields of Iraq, to establish military bases in Iraq, and also to be able to dominate the Middle East by its control over the Oil fields. This would further go on to the point wherein the U.S.A. would be able to exert control over all the other countries that depend on oil, and also by default, remove the potential threat being posed by Iraq over Israel.

Some people even offer the opinion that if Iraq had been able to accept payment in Euros for its oil, then most probably the Euro would have become more valuable than the U.S. Dollar, and this would have been a great loss to the U.S.A. Were USA to gain control over the oil fields of Iraq, then.
