Nowadays, after twelve years, the second Iraq-U. S war is bound to happen. Iraq’s threats of using its nuclear power over the world, America’s attempts to prevent Iraq from doing such a terrible thing and U. S’s perminant aim at taking control of oil reserves can be given as some of the basic reasons of this war.
The discussion is that whether Turkey will take place in that war as it has a very important strategic position. Considering Turkey’s economical situation of 30 years, we can say that Turkey is neither psychologically nor economically ready for this war, so now it seems the best choise for Turkey to be away from that dangerous struggle. When we look at America’s aim at bombing Iraq, we come across personal reasons under it. As people know America has been having malice against terror organs since September 11 th, 2001 when U. S had an at tact on World Trade Center so now America has a reason to bomb Iraq. As an example we can give a speech of President Bush in the city of Cincinnati.
He said “We also must never forget the most vivid events of recent history. On September 11 th, 2001, America felt its vulnerability… We resolved then, we are resolved today, to confront every threat, from any source, that could bring sudden terror and suffering to America.”Over the years, Iraq has provided safe haven to terrorists such as Abu Nida l whose terror organisation carried out more than 90 terrorists attacks in 20 countries that killed or injured nearly 900 people, including twelve Americans… .” From these sentences, Bush’s personal enmity can be seen against Iraq and Saddam H”ussein.
The Term Paper on Purpose Of The War On Terror
The Boston Marathon Bombing along with other related shootings are said to be a sequence of domestic terrorism incidents and attacks of terror which began on 15th of April 2013. This happened when two gas bombs exploded in the course of Boston Marathon at around 2:49 PM killing at least two people and also injuring not less than 264 peoples. The bombs exploded about 190 meters (210 yards) apart ...
The columnist of Sabah newspaper Necati Dodru had a comment like this “The results of a survey taken in 44 different countries showed that almost all the over-developed countries thought that the reason of America’s efforts of bombing Iraq was just for getting the control of Iraq’s oil reserves. Among these countries are; Russia %76 French %75 Germany %54 England %44 Recently, Turkey is also getting some kinds of strict threats from America, as once Karl Vick, the columnist of The Washington Post, claimed that Turkey had been for along time U. S strategic ally and fellow NATO member. It was a must for him to be at the side of America and added that according to diplomats and analysts, what discouraged U.
S was the government’s emphasis on the economic fallout Turkey might face because the fighting without mentioning the consequences for Turkey’s remaining side less. Another threat is that unless Turkey assists America it is inevitable that there will be a possible Kurd Republic in the following days on Northern Iraq said Necati Dodru, the columnist of Sabah. At the beginning Turkey had not decided whether to assist America or not. Because Muslim groups, eleven years ago, reacted the possible war then; so AKP was in a conflict between his own people and giving full support to America. As we see, the permission for U. S to use the airbases had not given by the parliament in the first vote.
This was also the show of AKP’s inner conflict. But both America’s threats to stop economically support to Turkey and stop political relations forced Turkey to do second vote. And this time America reached his goal. Since the beginning, I have been against of this war, and still I am. Because if Turkey takes place totally in the war, he will be hurt both economically and psychologically. Lots of people will lose their lives; the railways, roads, bridges, water sources will be damaged throughout the fighting.
Also the oil truckers of Turkey will lose their income. As ‘Ylhami Zengin said by Ilene R. Prus her “The oil truckers about 800 of whom pass through here each day- are deeply worried that an increasingly U. S- led war against Iraq could mean total destruction of their already diminished livelihood.” There is also an opinion that the possible war from an America citizen called Jeff “We wonder why our popular wartime president spends so much time talking about Saddam H”ussein while Osama bin Laden seems to have disappeared permenantly from his memory.
The Term Paper on Case For War On Iraq
Case for War on Iraq In this paper I would like to express my attitude as to the war in Iraq. I think there are many reasons for waging a war in Iraq against Saddams regime. The Saddam has always been ruthless and cruel in his attitude not only to the people outside of his country but also to his people. It can be seen in the hard economic situation in the country. People do not have enough money ...
We worry our sons and daughters who will die in a war that we secretly suspect is more about oil than weapons of mass destruction.” By saying this it is clear that even the citizens of America are against this war. There seems to be some disadvantages of Turkey unless he does get into the war. The tourism of Turkey, for instance, can be destroyed as it has already falling compared to the past years. Secondly, Iraqi Kurds can take advantage of getting their independence against Turkey. Also Turkey can come across a new Kurdish refugee crisis, as in the Gulf War, 1980 the similar thing happened says Mr. Zengin, a middle aged driver who waits to get back to Turkey.” Possibly, when the oil reserves finish in the area both Arabic’s and Americans could accuse Turkey of all these bad consequences, says Necati Dodru.
Since the very beginning of the essay, we see that America is determined to bomb Iraq whether with the help of Turkey or not. As President Bush said before, Iraq is a kind of threat against them. So sooner or later they would end terrorism caused by Saddam H”ussein. Recently, Turkish daily Milli yet, veteran columnist Sam in Koh en acknowledged that apart from Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, the other reason for invasion has to do with the U.
S desire to take oil resources under its control (K. Gajendra Singh, Indian Ambassador).
Also once Yam an T”or ” under, the columnist of Sabah claimed that America’s attempt to invade Iraq is just like the Gulf War, and also in that war the aim was to get petrolium reserves. So he thinks that these two wars are similarly connected to each other. From these clues, it is clear that America’s only aim is to get oil reserves just for its own benefit even though President Bush says that America will only take control of them, not will posses. But if we turn back to history, to the Trablusgarb War, it can be compared to Greek’s requests to just control over Turkey’s 12 island which were in Africa while Turkey was fighting with Italy, but later Turkey could not get them back.
The Term Paper on Why Did The United States Go To War With Iraq?
In the recent war with Iraq Americans wants to really know why did the United States go to war with Iraq? There are several conclusions that people have come to. Some of the main reasons that the United States went to war with Iraq was because of the belief that Saddam Hussein was harboring terrorists in Iraq and that he had in his possession weapons of mass destruction whether they were nuclear ...
And surely we can not also quarante e that America will keep its promise to pay Turkey for the damages it will have after the fighting. Because a war is like a risky game that nobody knows what will happen. It can end either positively or negatively, so Turkey can not expect neither good nor bad consequences for itself. Now Turkey sems to be in a conflict whether to be the counterpart of America or just a watcher. But, of course, it is not the only one who will have difficulties. America will also have some disadvantages, either.
He will lose money, power and so many people together. Met in M”unir, the columnist of Sabah, asserts that America will come across two different risks in the future though he beats Saddam H”ussein. One is a possible nuclear war between America and Iraq; and the other is the destruction of Gulf petrolium by Saddam H”ussein then. Taking everything into account, it can be said that America is preparing himself to a new war, Turkey is in conflict and Iraq is in danger. For what? Just for petrolium.
These reserves, may be, make the ones who own them more powerful and richer but it can not be worthier than human life as in a possible war so many people will lose their lives. What Mustafa Kemal Atat ” uk, the Turkish President in 20 th century, said once is that “Peace in the country and peace in the whole universe.” It will be better for the world to keep that promise in order to be richer in heart not in purse.
