¶ … attacks of September 11, 2001, we, as Americans learned that our country is not as invincible as we thought it to be. The United States can and has been hurt within this past year. Therefore, President George W. Bush's plan to attack Iraq seems to be justifiable so that America has a lesser change of getting bombed again. And, subsequently, being weakened further. By attacking Iraq, Bush's intends to protect America and possibly keep from having furthers attacks on our country in the future. However, some disagree with Bush about going forward with his plan to attack Iraq which poses a major conflict among the nation's government. Some of the nation's leaders believe that the plan will do more harm than good. It may cause Iraq to attack America with a lot of power which could do extreme damage due to previous attacks the country. And, by attacking that country, it could start a series of bombings and wars on one another that may led the fall of the strength of the nation. Even though there seems to be many downfalls to Bush's plan, the Bush Administration supports it since the chance of not doing anything could be harmful than actually doing something despite the conflicts in which it holds.
The Iraq Conflict began when the U.S. strategy toward Iraq since Desert Storm has failed, and it has no long-term potential. Also, there are other factors that contribute to the conflict such as economic sanctions are punishing the population but leaving the regime unscathed.
The administration's case for military action against Iraq boils down to this:

Iraq has demonstrated its intent to dominate the Middle East militarily (Iran, Kuwait, even S.A.), a region of vital importance to U.S. interests
Iraq has demonstrated its willingness...
Iraq Conflict and Esdp The European Security and Defence Policy emerged in the wake of Kosovo Crisis when it was found that European Union essentially lacked the capabilities to play an effective role in Bosnia and later in Kosovo.

The last Mamluk governor ruled in the 19th century as Europe was increasingly asked for advice, military weapons, and for help to promote trade. The British were the most influential in this regard which indicates an economic viability to Iraq that the Ottomans were either unable or uninterested in pursuing. The Ottomans, as a European Empire, were unable to maintain influence over its own province. After floods and plagues in 1831, the Ottoman's sent a
To be sure, one of the most significant effecters of the cultural experience in Iraq has been the stimulation of more widespread, proliferated and severe violence. This has instigated a widespread change in the experience of Iraqis, who have been subjected to one of the most dangerous periods in the nation's history. Accordingly, a study by Roberts et al. (2004) used cluster household sampling in Iraq to measure the
Sumer and Akkad were the two city-states that produced the most sophisticated armies of the Bronze Age (Gabriel & Metz, 1991). The Greeks called the area Mesopotamia, meaning "the land between the two rivers," a reference to the Tigris and Euphrates basin; however, in the Bible, the region is referred to as "Shumer," the original Sumerian word for the southern part of Iraq, the site of Sumer with its
His treatment of civilian casualties is caustically glib, and his support of the war is spurious and irresponsible. His insensitivity is most apparent when he claims of the war, "the people who ought to have been most affected by it, the population of Iraq itself, seemed scarcely to give it their attention," (p. 4). Keegan takes enormous liberties to make such a ludicrous assertion and without any proof. The
