The United States government stated the reasons why troops were being sent into Iraq at the beginning of the conflict. One stated reason was that it was believed that the dictator, Sadaam Hussein was harboring weapons of mass destruction that could prove detrimental to the stability of our nation and many other nations. Another reason for the Iraq conflict was to diminish the threat of international terrorism and promote democracy. Also, it was said that Hussein helped Osama bin Laden, th

e leader of Al-Qaeda, achieve his goal of attacking the Twin Towers and killing many people.

In conclusion, the Iraq conflict was filled with deception of the U.S. citizens by the government. There should have been a multitude of reasons stated why the U.S. attacked Iraq. If there were less than a handful of a reasons stated for something as serious as war, those reasons should have been irrefutable. The war in Iraq could have been more thoroughly thought out. There were many lives lost for reasons that were very clear but contestable. Many of the reasons stated were to conceal the purpose of the war. The reasons were also to distract the citizens of the United States from what our first action should have been.

Many U.S. citizens felt that since Iraq supposedly had weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. was in danger. These citizens felt this way because the government blew the situation in Iraq out of proportion. Those who supported the Iraq conflict decided that since Saddaam Hussein slaughtered his own people that was a reason to go to Iraq. This happened many years
