War on Iraq : Whether or Not to Support Bush's Decision
On September 11, 2002, the United States became victim to Al-Qaeda's terrorist attack. The attack caused the loss of 3000 men, women, and children. Only time will tell what Saddam Hussein plans on doing with his current production of nuclear weapons. Former president Clinton said it well, "Hussein has the weapons, and he will use them." With Hussein's growing rage towards the United States, the weapons which he possesses become a threat to the American nation. As president George Bush clearly states, "A pre-emptive attack on Iraq will allow special weapons investigations to be pursued on Iraq territory, which in turn will prevent Saddam Hussein from bringing another World Trade Centre event to America". However, Hussein not only has revenge from the Gulf War on his mind. Investigations have shown that Hussein's plans also include the invading of the Middle Eastern countries, in turn, gaining possession on the world's largest oil reserves. These reserves account for approximately 45% of all oil imported to America. "This can lead to a position of nuclear blackmail for North America", quotes vice president Cheney.

If the United States was ever to surrender to the enemy, not only would it destroy the country, but the moral and national pride of the people as well. The U.N. must agree with president Bush and his demand to go to war on Iraq. If this doesn't happen, once Iraq has possession of nuclear warheads, the Middle East will fall in power to Hussein, leading to the loss of millions of innocent lives. agreed upon by Iraq and the U.N. after the Gulf War by placing weapons in areas such as Provincial Palaces, hospitals, and schools. President Bush states, "Iraq has found its way around the regulations of the U.N. Gulf War Treaty. These conditions must be re-written to prevent this."
