President George W. Bush has decided to wage war against Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein, and deployed more than 120,000 troops surround Iraq by the middle of February 2003. Although the war plans have been delayed by Turkish intransigence and the opposition of France, German, Russia China and inside the United Nations, the process of sending troops to Iraq has been keeping on going. Bush said: "There are those nations in Europe ¡ª France and Germany ¡ª who do not see Saddam Hussein as a direct threat. And we just have a difference of opinion." We can say everyone opposing the war has a different opinion from his, but before we give our opinion of whether we should support the war on Iraq or oppose it, we should know why Bush is going to launch the war on Iraq. Bush¡¯s claimed two reasons are to stop Saddam from building weapons of War and the supposed ties to terrorism and Al Qaeda, but we know from Washington Post, in 1998 the International Atomic Energy Agency certified that Iraq no longer had any viable nuclear program, and Vincent Cannistraro (former director of the CIA's counter-terrorism office) has said that there is no confirmed evidence of Iraq's links to terrorism program.
