Iraq War

I agree with my opponent that this is a one round, give it all kind of a debate, and the voters should read both cases and come to a conclusion on the winner. Time for me to open my argument. The war on Iraq has not ended unlike what some people suggest. The United States is still occupying and in doing so controlling Iraq. This is an extremely dangerous situation for the National Security of the United States, the relations the United States will have with other nations, and future military involvement in the Middle East. History is about to prove itself again on American soil if the United States keeps on staying in Iraq. What will happen on American soil will shake the sensitive nerve of 9/11. In the 1990's sanctions were put on Iraq that severely crippled the nation and killed half of a million children and around million Iraqis. Because of this action that the United States implemented the terrorist group Al Qaeda attacked the United States and this attack has been named after the date, 9/11. Osama bin Laden, the leader of the group Al Qaeda, made the United States sanctions a political point for his reasoning in the planned 9/11 attacks, while this is not the only reason why terrorists attacked the United States it is a very strong point because if there is one thing that Americans must learn from 9/11 is that a group of 19 armed with box cutters can make a day that no one will ever forget. This group can do greater damage than any government, so why give them a reason to attack, because no one can solve terrorism by terror. What has happened in Iraq and continues to happen will cause relations with other countries to be in severe question in the future. First, it brings to question the governmental stability of the United States, the war in Iraq is against the very thing that makes America special compared to other nations and it is the Untied States Constitution. In the constitution it states that no war can be declared only by Congress not my a President's interest and other countries can see this and see a fault in the government. Second, it brings the debt into question the United States is in a 16 trillion dollar debt and one of the main countries that America owes debt to is China, how is China and the other countries supposed to feel when they see that the United States spent 3 trillion in Iraq that could have gone to them. Can these countries trust the United States when it comes to paying debt. Lastly, it brings into question the morals of the United States 110,000- 121,000 innocent civilians have died because of the violence the United States caused in Iraq with war, and for those who think that the deaths are over and mistaken because 229 people have died this December 2012. How can a country fell when they see a country that doesn't follow its constitution, doesn't care about debt owed, or even how many people that will die for there cause. After all this the United States looks like they are going to attack Iran under the same idea. The idea that they are a danger to United States with a weapon of mass destruction that the CIA has even said isn't proved yet. It is time to get out of Iraq and the Middle East and let the wounds heal. Sources http://www.youtube.com... http://www.washingtonpost.com... http://www.iraqbodycount.org... http://www.history.com...
