Bush justifies military action against Iraq by claiming that they have weapons of mass destruction and biological and chemical warfare, which the United States funded or provided to Iraq (Hidden Wars of Desert Storm). However, Iraq is not a great threat to the United States at this time, as

Even if it is true that Iraq does have weapons of mass destruction, this gives us, the United States, no right to go in and destroy their country. There are many countries that possess nuclear weapons, and quite possibly chemical weapons. This includes the United States. The rest of the world looks at the situation and sees the United States as the bigger threat. However, the government of the United States does not seem to care. By using inspections to destroy all of Iraq’s weapons we are being hypocrites. This would also weaken Iraq to the point that they would be very vulnerable.

However, with that threat gone, there is no way to know what will happen. If Iraq is not allowed to have weapons of mass destruction, which they have not yet threatened to use, then the United States should not either. The fact that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction is not a reason to declare war. If this was true, then the United States would be declaring war against almost the entire world.

The United States is just being the bully in this situation. We feel that we can control the world and that nobody can stop us. “Is it not true that the reason we did not bomb the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War was because we knew they could retaliate?” (Republican Questions War). This shows that the United States was, at one time, in a similar situation to Iraq. We did not bomb the Soviet Union because we knew that they had the capability to fight back. Iraq is now in the position we were in. They do not want to attack the United States because they know that we can easily defeat them, possibly w
