For most of us, a War on Iraq is something we can relate to. You may have relatives in the military; you may be planning to fight yourself. No matter how you feel close to this issue, the War is going to hit us all in someway. Hell, it’s even going to affect the way you fill your car up with gas. A lot of people are questioning a War on Iraq. They’re questioning George W. Bush’s motives, or the entire morality of a War. Whatever. I personally feel that if you don’t support our government’s decision to possibly go to War with Iraq, then you should be shipped there yourself, just so you can see why we need to go. It’s not for Oil; it’s not for a freaking “American Empire”. It’s for the People of Iraq, and their future. Please, call me a conservative. We should definitely go to War with Iraq. Now. Saddam Hussein is a terrorist. Saddam Hussein has “Weapons of Mass Destruction”. (That is the most over used term in the English language. Please, forgive me for being a user of that term.) Removing Saddam Hussein from power will make the Middle East more stable…duh.
I had you read the above definitions of terrorism. If you didn’t, I suggest you read them now; otherwise this paragraph may make no sense to you. Proceeding, and during the last election in Iraq, Saddam Hussein used violence to obtain another term as “president” of Iraq. Iraqi refuges have told us how forced confessions are obtained- by torturing children while their parents are forced to watch. They tell us that in Iraq’s torture chambers methods like using electrical shock, burning with scorching irons, dripping acid on the skin, mutilation with electrical drills, cutting out tongues, and rape are used. If the definitions are correct, (and why wouldn’t they be…Webster is never wrong) I think we can agree that Saddam Hussein IS a terrorist. Because Saddam Hussein is a terrorist, shouldn’t he be a target in the War on Terror? Some people don’t think so; or they think that we shouldn’t go after Saddam Hussein and Iraq until we take care of Osama Bin Laden. Whatever. That’s like saying that just because your batch of cookies is 5 minutes from being done baking, that you can’t start preparing dough for another batch (you have to cook 12 dozen for your Cookie Club’s” annual party; you BETTER start that next batch). Get over it people, let’s go get Saddam.
Whether we have proof or not, Iraq has “Weapons of Mass Destruction”. Let’s skip back a few pages in our History Books to 1991: The U.N. passed resolution 687. The Resolution stated that Iraq was to declare its weapons programs, and was to destroy all of the existing weapons in its arsenal. Later that year, Iraq came out with a Final Declaration [next page]
