The US led war on Iraq has cost many lives and the disorder of several countries due to terrorism. However none of the things that made Iraq a threat to global welfare have not yet been found, it has drained the economy of every member of the Coalition, and there are now signs of corruption on the information Coalition members received. It is clear that the threat of Iraq was not half as serious as it looked. Firstly, the war on Iraq has cost the lives of hundreds of Coalition soldiers. It is even true that more soldiers died from guerilla attacks after the war than during the war. Roadside bombs, militant groups and suicide bombers are regularly picking off soldiers, it is not unusual for ten Coalition troops to die in a single day. Yet, the governments are still piling soldiers into Iraq and keeping them there for longer. As a result, more troops are dying when these deaths can be easily avoided.
Not only are soldiers dying, they also seem to be dying without reason. The one thing that was seen as a threat, the Weapons of Mass Destruction have not been found anywhere in Iraq. The American government has even admitted that they might never find them, in other words, the war on Iraq has just been a waste of money, resources and lives. Some of the worlds largest oilfields are also housed in Iraq, and the US led invasion has somewhat stemmed the flow of oil out of Iraq into the global market. As a result oil prices have shot up. This is not beneficial to the world economy because countries have to pay more for their oil.

Friday-January 16, 2004- 4: 00 p. m: I was watching 'Oprah' and a particular story struck me. It was about these young brides in India who were being burned alive by their husbands because they have become a burden. Before these women are married off, their husbands receive dowries from the bride's family, when the family can no longer meet up with his demands-he sets his wife on fire, in hopes of ...
However the country that is affected the most is Iraq itself, because its flow of money comes mostly from dealing oil. Just recently many government inquiries have found that the intelligence of Iraqs weapons capabilities was significantly flawed. This challenges the very reason for the war on Iraq. It is possible that Iraq did not have any Weapons of Mass Destruction at all. So the Iraqi war could simply be a personal vendetta of President Bush instead of an act of protecting the world because George Bush Senior also fought against Iraq during the first Gulf War and failed to extract a victory. If this were true then the war on Iraq would be a complete and total waste of time.
The war on Iraq has cost many lives and much resource, and all this may be the revenge of a single man. With this proof anyone can see that this war should not be allowed to continue..
