Post Iraq takeover?
What does the US do after(if they attack) they takeover Iraq.
__________________Should this question not be answered first before going into Iraq? Will this curb all the anti-american sediments in Iraq? We all know the Us couldnt really stay there because the Iraqies would revolt againist them. Which country sends peacekeepers? What cost to america and the world are we looking at for helping Iraq? |

And America had better destroy Saddam's alleged WMDs on the first strike. Personally, I think the planning of a post-Saddam Iraq is the most salient concern when the US decides whether or not to attack Iraq, not the question of whether or not the US is bluffing when it says that it has evidence that Saddam has rehabilitated his WMD programs. Saddam Hussein runs a police state and is responsible for the deaths of however many Iraqi civilians since 1991. (That's right, Saddam is responsible, not the UN sanctions. Northern Iraq, which is not under Saddam's control but has been subject to the same economic sanctions, by and large does not share the problems of the rest of Iraq.) Why wouldn't you want to get rid of him? |

If you don't get a UN mandate in the beginning, it might be entirely up to the US to fix it, and fix it well, at the end. This of course will open you up to alot of attention and criticism if it doesn't work perfectly. If the US goes it alone, sadly alot of the world will be waiting for you to f*** it up, seeing as they said you shouldn't have done it in the first place. "Told you so" type thing. Plus for Iraqi's it won't feel as much like a liberation, as possibly an occupation, especially for a certain % of the population. Occupied by 'the enemy' and pissed off. Good terrorist farming environment. And the cycle continues.... |

If the US can get rid of Saddam relatively quickly, without causing massive damage to civilian infrastructures, I think the rest of the world will be more willing to help plan a post-Saddam Iraq. It seems to me that the main reason so many countries oppose the possible war is not because they respect Saddam's sovereignity, but because of the short-term loss of life. Economically, there's no reason Iraq shouldn't be able to recover from a short war, what with all the oil they're sitting on. As long as the oil $ is administered *properly* (and not used to build luxury palaces for the president and such), Iraq should be able to bounce back. Quote:

I totally agree with tyler. This is lokoing like another Vietnam war. I hate to say it but this is going to blow up in the US's face. Half the congress is up in arms about it. Many people of the world and the US are againist it. Bush is going to slammed. I agree we should take Suddam out but the US needs everyones support and they need to start produce=ing evidence for the rest of the world. They need countries like Canada and Germany and many countries that might not give all milatary support in the war but will commit to send peacekeepers.

1. There must be no concrete objective in sight. 2. It must go on for 25 years. 3. The US's allies in "Vietnam" must be maximally uncooperative. 4. The US must fight a limited war for fear of provoking "Vietnam's" nuclear-equipped big brother. It's not clear that any of these other four criteria fit the proposed war against Iraq. |
