"War On Iraq."

The country of Iraq has been a worldwide threat for the last decade or so. Sadaam Hussein seems bent on killing as many innocents as he can whether it be his people in his country, or people in other countries. In secret he has had the opportunity to build weapons of mass destruction in the last four years. It has been that long since U.S. inspectors were in Iraq. Now with the war on terror he not only has the chance to harm innocents but the will and probably the want to harbor terrorists. The question on everyone's mind at this point then is, should we go to war with Iraq once more? This is not a subject which has an easy answer. On the one hand if we did attack Iraq we could finally end the tyranny that has plauged that country and the world for so many years. The downside would come in the form of distrust from surrounding Arab countries. Right now there is no support in that area for the U.S. to attack Iraq. So what would be the consequences of our attack. Would these outweigh the benefits? It depends on how you look at freedom. Not just your own but the right that every human being has to it. Right now in our counrty we enjoy freedom in many forms, but in countries like Iraq people don't even have the freedom to choose whether they'll live or die some days. Is it our duty to make sure they also have this inherit right? This remains to be seen, but personally I think it is time we attack Iraq and oust the leader who has caused so much pain not only throughout the world, but throughout his own country.

At least this isn't copied...still I can't be bothered with these endless Iraq topics anymore.

History will take its course and whatever happens in 50 years from now that generation will look back and criticise us for it, not knowing the reality of life now.
