War In Iraq: Why?

A lot of people ask why we are at war with Iraq. Is it because of what happened on 9-11, or is it just because we need someone to fight? To me it is a little of both. We are fighting for our freedom and our rights, but on the other hand I think we are just fighting because that's what everyone else does. But the main reason we are fighting this war is because of one man, and we all know him, his name is Saddam Hussein. He has refused to comply with us many different times, and after having a part in 9-11 we set a goal to find this man and do what was right.

Not only is he why we are at war, another reason is for oil. We hear all the time on the news that we don't have oil because other countries won't trade with us, and that is one reason why we are in Iraq, is to try and get them to trade. Not only are the causes bad, but they are good in a way. We are also in Iraq to help improve the government. Though some believe the war is being fought only because we do not know what we are doing or just to get revenge or get our freedom, we all have our own opinions.

Why do you think we are fighting the war?

  1. Oh, I don't even want to get started. But, the war at this point is so pointless. It makes me angry. Like we at this point are fighting to better their government but at the same time they want us to leave and we have yet to listen to what they want.
