I agree that we should not have troops in Iraq. As far as Bush says, we were there to capture Saddam Hussein because his power over the country of Iraq threatened the U.S. (whether he actually had WMDs or not, he still at least had the means to get them). Now, Hussein is taken out of power, and it is up to the people of Iraq to decide what is the best government for them. It is their choice, you cannot force a culture to accept democracy, all peoples are different, and who are we to say that democracy is the correct form of government? We Americans tend to forget that our country is an experiment, and we are a very young nation compared to other world powers. Let the Iraqis handle it their own way. Bush justifies this war by saying that we are spreading democracy and freeing oppressed peoples, and if that is true, why are we not doing that in Africa? Or in North Korea? The fact is, and history proves it, that certain cultures are dominant in a time period, that country happens to be the most successful (AKA rich) nation. Back in the day, those inferior (at the time!) cultures were conquered, and they were conquered in a fair way, simply because they were weaker. The world has become too politically correct and corrupt at the same time. Honestly, what can the U.N. really do to change anything? They have no army, no way to enforce their decisions. That is human nature, to fight to the death for what you believe and what you think is right, and at the same time, to prove yourself superior and more deserving of passing on your genes and beliefs. Unfortunately, fighting and war is the only way that humans can prove themselves as being stronger. Why is it important to be stronger? Because it is the ultimate proof that you belong on earth, all animals do it, why should humans be any different?
