In my opinion, there seems to be good reasons to remove Saddam Hussein from power. He is developing weapons of mass destruction and is a threat to both America and Israel and indeed to stability in the Middle East. In addition, he oppresses his people and poses a threat to the west. Therefore, by overthrowing and replacing him, the United States will gain a valuable ally in the Middle East and perhaps will liberate the oppressed people of Iraq.
There are several reasons why I believe we should go to war with Iraq. One of those reasons is simply because I strongly believe that the War on Terror involves Saddam Hussein because of the nature of Saddam Hussein, the history of Saddam Hussein and his willingness to terrorize. Not only that, he has terrorized his own people, his own neighborhood, and he is a danger not only to countries in the region but also, he is a danger to the American people. He has used biological and chemical weapons against his own people. Saddam Hussein allows no opposition to his regime, and uses murder and torture to remain in power. The thought that he might have nuclear weapons is a frightening one, because of his irresponsibility. Therefore, we have got to deal with him before it is too late.
Saddam Hussein oppresses his people so much that Iraqis live in utter misery today. Also he is the one responsible for killing tens of thousands of Iraqis every year. As Pollack mentioned "If Iraqis see the United States making an effort to lead an international coalition to rebuild Iraq, construct a prosperous, stable Iraq and allow them to govern themselves, then in fact the reaction from the Iraqi peoples is likely to be very positive." Therefore, I feel that the Iraqi people would be glad if we got rid of Hussein for them. Iraq would then be an important ally in the Middle East.
Another reason for war with Iraq is because on September 11, 2001, 3,000 lives came to an end.
