Should We Have Gone to War in Iraq?

The recent United States military conquest in Iraq is a subject that has drawn much attention from political onlookers who wonder about the legality and the motives of the war. As Americans were given unclear reasons for the war, more and more speculation came as to why U.S. military forces were there in the first place. There are many reasons why the United States’ military campaign in Iraq does not make sense. Some reasons lead to the belief of its moral inconsistency while others point to relational nightmares. What is certain is the fact there are wonderful arguments against the war and limited rebuttals to those arguments. A December 2005 CNN poll showed that a majority at fifty-one percent of people in America were against the war in Iraq. The reasons against the war include its incompatibility with U.N. regulations, its appearance as a Christian crusade against the world of Islam that inhabits much of the Middle Eastern world, and the ongoing question about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and surrounding areas of the Middle East.
