Why do America want to invade Iraq George Bush claims its because of the threat of weapons of mass destruction How real is this threat? The weapon inspectors have been in Iraq for a while now and there has not yet been any real convincing evidence. It appears they have been cornered into war. If there is a threat from Iraq why is this why do they hate Americans? An iraqi woman interviewed on TV expressed this hate by talking about sept 11. She said at first she thought ‘those poor people’ but this soon turned too ‘at least they will feel a fraction of what we have felt’. Sounds very harsh but after looking at the evidence this hostility is reasonable. This threat has been brought on by themselves after America’s cruelty to Iraqi civilians during the gulf war. This threat has been brought on by themselves after America’s cruelty to Iraqi civilians during the gulf war. Reasons why Iraqi’s hate Americans The first weapon of mass destruction was the massive bombing of the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were killed, and there was no way of fighting back. Described it as massacre and not a war, since Iraq was so inferior in power to the United States. Facts and Figures: 1)The Allies used 141,921 tones of explosives against Iraq. 2) This is equal to 7 atomic bombs similar to that dropped on Hiroshima. 3) 5000-6000 bombs were fired by tank s. 4) 10,000 bombs were released from aircraft. 5) Napalm, cluster and air fuel bombs had been used by the Allies. 8) All of the above were not only used against the Iraqi armed forces but much of them were used against civilians, shelters and other civilian instructors well away from the battlefield.
