Attack Iraq

 

            Over the past twelve years, Saddam Hussein has been a nuisance to not only the United States, but the entire world. An invasion of Iraq is long overdue and well-deserved; the United States should wage war with Iraq to dispose of this irritant once and for all.
             Following the Iran-Iraq war, Kuwait, who funded the majority of the war on Iraq's part, demanded that their war debt be paid back in full. With most of Iraq's profit coming from oil, and oil-prices being low at the moment, Saddam Hussein accused Kuwait of flooding the market to put pressure on Iraq. Thus begins the Persian Gulf War. Thinking that the United States had no part in the issue, Saddam invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990; easily overpowering the small gulf state. After the United Nations set deadline for Iraqi withdrawal of Kuwait expired, the United States launched a massive air assault on Iraq. After the air attack, the ground war was launched and the Gulf War was easily won by February of 1991.
             Sadly the Gulf War did little to suppress Saddam Hussein's evil ways. On top of hiring nuclear physicists from the old USSR and Pakistan, in 1993 he also tested biological weapons on the "Kurds", Iraq's largest non-Arab ethnic minority. The hiring of these nuclear physicists could lead to what is known as miniaturization. Miniaturization is a method to reduce the physical size of nuclear bombs. Meaning for example, one could leave a briefcase in an airport and cause some major damage. In addition to this possible terrorist element, Iraq has also been accused of harboring terrorists from the Al Qaeda networks. However, Saddam adamantly denies this accusation, saying that Iraq funded the "Kurds", the very people they bombed around a decade ago, with weapons and technology to fight against the terrorist organization. This however, is a lie. .
             After Iraq was forced out of Kuwait in 1991, Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi government agreed to a series of commitments, termed Resolutions by the U.
