Consequences Of The Iraq War
One of the main reasons the aftermath of declaring war on Iran overrides the advantages is that, similarly to the war with Iraq, a countless amount of Iranians will die. Around 500,000 Iraqis died between 2003-2013 due to war related causes and the mortalities will be higher in Iran (The Staggering Cost of the Iraq War, 2013). Iran is three times more populous and three times bigger than Iraq. Dropping the negotiations with Iran and bombing their nuclear enrichment sites is estimated to result in three-hundred thousand to one million deaths of Iranian civilians. The previous war with Iraq proved that going to war was a mistake, and the United States should review the consequences of past events previous to declaring war on another country.

    The U.S. and Iranian conflict started more than 60 years ago. It started when the U.S. and British intelligence agencies killed the Prime Minister of Iran. The U.S. then sought them for help almost 30 years later, by selling them weapons, but Iran had a plan of their own, America did not receive their help.

During a phone call between the Presidents of the U.S. and Iran, the men expressed their desire to end the long running dispute between the two nations. They are still discussing ways on which to finish it.…

    The United States has been at war since its creation in 1776. It has battled confrontation 222 out of 239 years, just about 93% of its continuance. Notably, one of the most crucial wars is the “War on Terror”. Beginning in March of 2003, this war initially served the purpose of getting rid of the country’s leader Saddam Hussein to prevent his use of suspected stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. While this war was strategically justified the real war between Iraq and the U.S. began long before what is officially recognized. The United States of America should not have invaded Iraq as it promoted the illegal exercise of government power and democracy, encouraged continuous genocide and violence, and empowered an extreme capitalist regime.…

    War presents a very complex moral dilemma. While it is necessary to fight for freedom, a better world, and what is right, war contradicts itself. The very same soldiers that fight in defense of these values have them taken away because of their experiences at war. The negative effects are just as big as the positive effects of war. A nation can never really win in war because of this. Instead war just stays a neutral thing.…
