American Nation has been shocking with miraculous statements since its foundation, as for declaration of war in Iraq, this news was expected but the official statement shook the globe to the base. According to the respectable sources the date of the start of the war in Iraq is March the19th, 2003. People reacted to the news in different ways. Anger, frustration, fear, disdain, happiness, excitement, agreement were only basic reactions of peoples that were aware of the situation between Iraq and the USA. Some of the countries criticized actions of the US and did not agree to the plan submitted at the UN conference. Though the intentions of Americans seemed noble, people anticipated the consequences. Past three years people ask themselves whether it was a noble act or a fatal mistake. Let us abstract our minds from our duties as Americans and imagine ourselves quite neutral to the matter that caused so much rumour and disagreement. The war brought all the fears of modern society to the surface. Thousands of people went out in the streets to protest against poverty, inflation, disagreement inside the country and many other factors that threaten to cause disbalance in the society. Though every campaign of this war was highlighted in the news, no one can be sure that the data is exact and that nothing is hidden. Even though media was given necessary freedom and possibilities, some of the peculiarities were still hidden from the public. The dictatorship of Saddam is destroyed forever and now we witness a new state being born. Victims of the dictatorship were counted very relatively, the number of people killed, tortured, assassinated or extinct in any other way is close to a hundred thousands. Today, after the hardships of war are over, we are to evaluate the act itself: was it a noble strategy that is going to improve the situation in the Middle East or a fatal mistake the consequences of which will still show up. You can develop this thesis in a term paper topic in history class. In accordance with the latest statistics the fund of the two wars, in Iraq and in Afghanistan equals to $518bln dollars. That is an amount that can fully fund global anti-hunger programs for over 13 years and provide every child in the world with immunization for over a century. "War is an expensive proposition. Whether you're for the war or against the war, that's a fact," said Robert Bixby, the executive director of the Concord Coalition, a bipartisan organisation that advocates balanced federal budgets. And his statement is right. The other concern nowadays is the attitude of the Iraqi people towards Europe and the US that practically tore their worlds apart. The real aim was not to leave children homeless, get a hold to Iraqi oil or get a piece of territory to perform influence on Eastern peoples, but to give the sense of safety and comfort back to people that lost hope to see improvements in the country. After the hardships of war are forgotten, Iraqi people will either bless the United States of America or to hate them till the end of the world. |
