Obama and Iraq War
Obama and Iraq War
Alltough there was a certain justification for it, namely the removal of the cruel dictator Saddham Hussein, the bloody war in Iraq was yet a big mistake from the beginning, carried out by the unscrupulous Bush government, who had no plan for the time after, and a bunch of false arguments and alleged reasons, like the "weapons of mass destruction", which so far have not been found, or the alleged connection of Saddham Hussein to Osama Bin Laden, which could not be proved either, or other alleged threats, which turned up after 911. So Bush could inforce his Patriot Act and go to war in Iraq, the results of which we are facing now very clearly: 4000 dead US Soldiers and ten thousands of Iraqi victims, war and post-war costs of $ 3 TRILLION, paid by the American tax payer, who, if we remember, had not really elected Bush in 2000 ! - The situation in Iraq seems to improve a little bit right now, but this could change very soon again. So what was all the sacrifice of this war good for ? - In Iraq Hussein was removed, but religious fanatic groups could take his place in the future and a civil war could break out. The worldwide terrorism, or Bush`s proclaimed "War on Terror", has not declined, it became even worse. In post-war America the economic recession has allready begun, and that was not only caused by the crisis on the real estate market, it was mainly the consequence of the super expensive Iraq War, which takes away the money from more useful and necessary projects in the USA, this money is simply missing ! And by printing more and more US Dollars, the inflation is also turned on, the green-back is losing its value and recession is what we have right now. But this scenario is not a new one: America has had the same problems after the Vietnam War in the 1970ies and 80ies. Now history is repeating ! - Barack Obama saw all these things ahead and that´s why he did not say yes to the war in Iraq. He had warned of its consquences in 2003, but hardly anyone believed him. Today we see that Obama was right, and he wants to withdraw our troops from Iraq soon as possible - I think, Obama is a wise leader and the right man for the job in the White House. He could bring real change and lead America and the world to a better future. Let us all do this change, or, as Obama says: YES WE CAN !
