Causalities  There have been many, many deaths in the Iraq war that could have been avoided

Unneeded suffering  The people don’t need to go through this  Iraqis and Americans

Unneeded suffering cont.

Breaking apart families  The war is separating families  Mothers and fathers are giving there life for no reason

President Bush  Bush says that Al Qaeda is using Iraq as a base when they are in Afghanistan  Some Iraqis are terrorist, but Bush puts the blame on them all.  Would we say all Americans are KKK since some are in it?

President Bush cont.  Wasn’t our brightest president  Solved the energy problem by saying “we need a bill that encourages energy consumption”

Saddam  There is no evidence he is connected  He is not aligned with al Qaeda  He doesn’t have a good relationship with al Qaeda

Bin Laden  Leader of Al Qaeda  Does not associate with Iraq  Does not have connections with Iraq

Saddam and Bin Laden  No relations  Bin Laden is in Afghanistan  None of the hijackers were even Iraqi

December  Rumsfeld met with Saddam  Saddam got rid of WMD  Bush lied to go into war

“Reasons”  WMDs that aren't real  Al Qaeda's attacks

9/11 attacks  They say Iraq was the cause  Al Qaeda did it  What reason do we have to attack Iraq  None of the hijackers were Iraqi

Al Qaeda  The people we should be attacking  Stationed in Afghanistan  Terrorist group  Some maybe Iraqi but they aren't supported by the government

Energy  Bush only wants control of the energy grid  Will do anything for that power

Power  To attack a weak country  They could of easily been taken out  They weren't our threat  Other countries were the threat

And for these reasons I believe the war is not justified
