Cause and Effect: US vs. Iraq
In 1774 our country was founded by men who thought that all people should be treated equal and fairly. Time has passed, and since then we have lost some of our morals and values but the main idea still remains. We fight for what is right even when we are the only one fighting; all to try and keep our land safe from terrorists and un-welcomed warfare. Yet there are some countries that are encountering such financial difficulties they turn to terrorist organizations for financial support. For their generosity, the organizations receive protective cover from other anti-terrorism countries and organizations. Terrorism is not the only cause that might bring America and Iraq to war. Along with the terrorism comes the constant threat from weapons of mass destruction. Year after year, Iraq has yet to comply fully with the United Nations weapons inspectors. Even during the inspectors’ visits in Iraq, they weren’t granted full . . .
To America, Iraq is like a puzzle and over time we have found a few of the pieces, but still many are lost. Though as we begin to piece together more of the puzzle, we find information we’d rather not know. The use of biological viruses, such as smallpox would harm millions because people born after 1970 are not vaccinated for it. If terrorists, nuclear weapons and just the thought of war do not scare you how about the prices of Iraq’s gas? They have raised the prices of our oil and because of that Americans everywhere are starting to see their gas prices rise. The government is hoping the economy will rebound like it did after the Persian Gulf conflict. Even if we go to war and defeat Iraq, what is there to guarantee Americans that Iraq won’t stop there? All trade embargo stopping, perhaps? Finally, when we engage in combat what assurances do we have that no nuclear weapons would be used? If a single nuclear missile is dropped, it could create a domino effect war pattern, eventually ending in world destruction. Since the September 11th attack, our economy has seen its best and worst days on the trading floor. Who knows when the prices are going to go down? With Iraq holding back on trading oil, it is no wonder that there is tension building between our two nations, possibly soon at the brink of war. All citizens around the world must ask themselves this question: “Is it worth it to go to war with the threat of a global disaster on the horizon?” . Also with the oil prices skyrocketing we all must suffer with the higher prices. Americans surely do not want to hear that Iraq is armed with biological and nuclear weapons. Even if we don’t attack Iraq, what becomes of America’s status with the rest of the world? Are we then perceived as cowards, or are we seen as an even more powerful country with possible threats of other countries? Either may prove to be a bad situation, and let us all hope that we go with the lesser of two evils and opt out of war. Not only is there the atomic bomb, it’s basically fact that Iraq is in possession of biological weapons. After that, our country’s economy was as prosperous as ever before.
