The United States Will Lose the War on Terror (Esp. Iraq & Afghanistan).

With your opening statement, the first thing we need to clarify is, what do you consider wining? I don't know if your answer would be to defeat all terrorist organizations, and I doubt it is. When the WOT was declared, the U.S. was not the only one in this. Other nations did as well. Every nation would fight the extremist groups that threaten them, and many other nations would assist if needed to be. Also if these groups had any ties on other countries, it would be the responsibility of the governments to assist each other. Due to the nature of politics, going into another nation in search of the terrorist has been a very difficult mater. After this declaration of War, the nations who came together to fight the WOT, have open a faster political door, which facilitates timed events. Afghanistan: The Taliban even though it was not recognized by many other nations as a form of government, had been running the nation. Obviously OBL has been a very important figure both in AFG and A-Q so going in to AFG is a no brainer. This was the place where the events that took place had originated from. Iraq: As a troubled America, the government began to expand its search. A defiant dictator who had proved to be "all talk no show" had to be dealt with. He showed animosity towards the demands of many other nations who backed us up in regards of WMD's. A show of force was clearly made to him, and he still refuse to comply. In the interviews after his capture he stated that, due to the pressure from other nations towards the US not to go in, he did not believed G.W.B. had the "guts" to defy them. We sure proved him wrong! When things got sour! Well is no secret, we have not found WMD. Thank you MR Poser (Saddam) we are there, now what? Well Saddam had ruled with an iron fist. You could hardly find anyone who opposed him, and if you did they where risking their lives. Saddam never violated the rules because he was the one that made them. Just to show you a few things tolerated by the regime: Son one: As head of the Iraqi Olympic Committee, Uday oversaw the imprisonment and torture of Iraqi athletes who were deemed not to have performed to expectations. He had torturers beat and caned the soles of the soccer players' feet, inflicting intense pain without leaving visible marks on the rest of their bodies. He kept scorecards with written instructions on how many times each player should be beaten after a poor showing. Jailed soccer players were forced to kick a concrete ball after failing to reach the 1994 World Cup finals. Athletes were dragged through a gravel pit and subsequently immersed in a sewage tank to induce infection in the victims' wounds. He used devices of torture deriving from the Middle Ages. One of them was a 50 lb black iron mask in which his players were to stand up straight with in the sun for the entire day after having performed poorly in a game, players would faint and be awakened by kicks of guards. Uday Kidnapped young Iraqi women from the streets in order to rape them. He used an iron maiden on persons running foul of him. (An iron maiden is a iron cabinet built to torture or kill a person) Son two: Qusay Hussein (ran the military aspect) was allegedly responsible for the killing of many political activists. Played a vital role in crushing the Shiite uprising in the aftermath of the 1991, and is also thought to have masterminded the destruction of the southern marshes of Iraq. The destruction was aimed against the Marsh Arabs, as retribution for their participation in the 1991 uprising. You do not hear this in the media do you? Maybe you have, but how many people had actually paid attention to how Saddam ran Iraq? Not many. WOT in Iraq??? Well it began that way, and then we had to change the route. You also have to realize now we are on their turf. OBL has been clear stating it has been easier for him to fight the "Infidels" since we went across the ocean. Is the world better with ought Saddam in power? Definitely! Did we fight the war correctly in Iraq? No, not really. When you look at my profile I stated Against the WiI, just for the fact that we need to change the current battle plan. You may also debate there was no A-Q in Iraq, got it. This is one of the reasons OBL is "happy" we are closer.
