Question

Write a short paragraph (3-4 sentences) that gives your opinion on the US decision to invade Iraq.

Answer 1

The United States thought Hussein had WMDs.

9/11 changed how America would respond to such threats as Hussein.

The war caused great hardship for Iraqis.

No WMDs were ever found.

The new Iraqi democracy made the war worth fighting.

Answer 2

The US decided to invade Iraq because of 9/11. Iraq was rumored to have been harboring known and dangerous terrorists and weapons that could potentially be used against the US. I believe that by invading Iraq, the US not only declared the war on terrorism, but they also put many enemies against both countries. While making enemies against the US may have not been the most brilliant idea, I do believe that invading Iraq was worth it because it helped ensure a safer country.
