Lots of documents were shown to underline the guiltyness of the Saddam regime, the dictator of iraq was named the enemy of the so called civilizated world. He was suspected with several capital sinns, the most important ones are: supporting Al-Quaeda, owning weapons of mass destruction and genocide. The only thing that they could prove, was the genocidium. Saddam killed thousands of shiite people, who got up during the first gulf war.
The two biggest promoters of the war against Iraq were George W. Bush, the president of the United States and Tony Blair, the prime minister of the United Kingdom. In their speeches they were talking about Hussein like they already have had all the evidence for the offences, which -in their point of view-, legislated the war against Iraq. There were only two countries who really sent troops to Iraq at the beginning, U.K. and U.S.. Some other partners of America sent peacekeepers to the region, but those are just symbolic forces to show partnership.
We can say that the ex-leader of Iraq is guilty in genocidium, but no evidence has been found yet which proves that Iraq had a bigger arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. There are several dictatures where the leaders do the same crime every day, like bloody punishing minorities, starvating orphans to death (North Corea), but they were not attacked yet. These dictatorical countries have no oil treasure, what could be the answer of America’s behaviour.
George Bush was acting a role, the role of the president, who tries to prevent terrorism, he was serving the war in Baghdad, as the highest point of the fight against terrorism. He could use the anger of american people, to increase his own popularity, but iraqi citisens are not assisting him to reach his finish line: to be reelected, what his father, the last president who dedicated war could not succed.
People in Iraq did not welcome U.S. forces like bringing them freedom, but they felt somebody was occupying their homeland. It is not unerstandable for them why are american soldiers still there, after the U.S. troops defeated the Saddam regime. The other thing they simply can not take in, is that USA is always talking about reconstructing Iraq, after 13 years of embargo, and after weeks of heavy bombing.
The administration has to face the possibility of a second Vietnam, because the national resistance is getting its form in Iraq. U.S. soldiers feel themselves in danger and they can not master the situation. Bush’s jurney in Baghdad shows this very well, because he arrived secretly in the dark, stayed one and a half hour and flied home like nothing happened. Now the american soldiers do not even know what they are exactly fighting for.
