Was the Iraq War Justified?

Was the war in Iraq justified

The war in Iraq , which has been an overriding foreign policy issue throughout past and present , today even after the de-stabilization of Saddam Hussein , has left the country in a convalescent infrastructural status

According to Greenpeace , through their studies , the outcome is as follows

Iraqi civilian casualties and body counts amount to 8 ,100 however this experiences a variation according to the supplier of statistics Press ' states an estimate of 3 ,420 civilians killed and Los Angeles Times ' varies this to 1 ,700 dead

and 8 ,000 injured in Baghdad

Iraq has become an extremely hazardous nation for it 's` inhabitants 10 ,788 cluster bombs were dropped by the Americans during the war containing 1 .8 million sub missiles . 110 , 00 of which were used by the British

The utilities status is a its ad ministerial infrastructure . We have high levels of insanity due to water pollution , leading to typhoid and cholera . The health care sector also has asserted The system completely collapsed during the war WWW .GREENPEACE .ORG /INTERNATIONAL /CAMPAIGN /ABOLISH-NUCLEAR-WEAPONS

Looking at the above statistics , Greenpeace made a close approximation of there being a deficit of approximately 23 billion in to repair the utilities side alone , by 2010

Above we have clearly expounded upon the internal cost of the war however we must not forget about the numerous military casualties and deaths , which also amount to what may be regarded as a war outcome

In light of all this , was the invasion of Iraq justified

An answer to a question like this can never be clear cut , but only two fold . Also whichever side one decides to take the opposing point of view is equally strong

Let us start by taking the side of The invasion of Iraq was justified

Iraq was being led by one of the most tyrannical world leaders

He had no regard for human rights , international concordats , or justice

We are talking of Saddam Hussein

Saddam Hussein did not reign in Iraq under the flag of democracy on the contrary he reigned with the scepter of dictatorship . Anyone who was found to contradict his rules or views was immediately sentenced to death and killed into the most atrocious ways

Yes it is true , America could have left the U ,N to promulgate a response , however as seen after the disregarded concordat after the 1991 Gulf War the effect would have been dismal and , anyway disregarded by Saddam

So what should have America have done

America already experienced a horrific terrorist attack by the Al Qaeda

America was and is on e of the strongest world military powers

Britain naturally follows America , so as to ensure a defense in case she is attacked

If America had taken a placid outlook , what type of message would she have sent to countries opposing democracy and America ? What would have Saddam Hussein taught

He would have detected a weak nation who could be bullied at mere whips

The perfect mirroring scenario...
