Post 13: Iraq War, Good or Bad? (Quick'un)
How's it going internet? Welcome to the Late Night English Blog! I'm your host and guy at Barnes & Noble who reads books on the floor Andy Ferguson and tonight we will be doing a quick little once over on the war in Iraq.
First, some information: the Iraq war began in 2003 and ended in the year 2011. In that time, casualties on both sides had piled up to disputable amounts. There were two main reasons given for the US's involvement:
1.) We would invade Iraq in order to place the seed of democracy (For more info on that, google Arab Spring)
2.) We would invade Iraq to ensure that they did not possess any W.M.D's (Weapons of Mass Destruction).
For these two reasons alone, the war in Iraq would be considered justifiable by both the Bhagavad-Gita and Sun Tzu's The Art of War on the basis that preemptive striking and preservation of morality were both acceptable reasons to wage war.
As for the popular response to the War in the US, well, I'll just invite you watch this clip from the Daily Show with Jon Stewart
