Iraq
The stated reasons for going to war *before* the war were that Iraq had WMD and could have launched them in 45 minutes.
In the aftermath, the public have since found out that the 45 minutes referred to battlefield weapons like mortars, which various members of the Cabinet have said they did know, while Blair claims that he didn't. Hmm.. Not called B*liar* for nothing.
No WMD have been found. The UN inspectors don't think there were any to start with.
So the 'reason' for going to war has become 'to liberate the Iraqi people.' To be cynical, but, since when has the US ever tried to 'liberate' people? They didn't even want to get involved in World War II...
I could go on and on and on and on.... but I might get overly worked up about the lying, cheating, dishonest, money-grabbing governments...
The actual reason for the Iraq war part II will never be disclosed to the public. I think it was all an excuse to go into Iraqi oil fields and steal all of the oil. If I had any say in their government I'd tell any and all companies given contracts in Iraq, post-, pre- and during the war, to sling their hook and pay compensation to the Iraqi people for violating their homeland. Unfortunately for the Iraqi's, I don't and the government will be another american puppet, until the USA realise that their behaviour in situations like this is what leads to the entire world hating them, and consequently to the terrorism committed against them.
I don't think terrorism is an acceptable response to any situation. Similarly, I don't think war is a great response either. Might does not make right, but neither does forcing people to be blown up by suicide bombers.
America if you want to stop the terrorists, give Palestine the same amount of money as you give to Israel. Stop killing democratic leaders, encourage democracy - not governments who give your companies the best deals or even any deals... Perhaps even try to be a democratic country yourself?
In fact, make it easy on the world, get out of international politics. You only behave like a spoilt child when you can't have what you want.
