2003: What if President Bush had not invaded Iraq?
What if Pres. Bush had not invaded Iraq?
Robert Kagan, a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, wrote this in 2005:
“One problem is that we always know what did happen as a result of war, but we never know what didn’t happen. What if we had not gone to war in Europe in 1917, Korea in 1950, or even Vietnam in the 1960s?”
2. Iraq would have continued shooting at US and UK planes enforcing UN resolutions. How many times do you allow someone to fire missiles at your aircraft without interpreting it as an act of war?
3. What about the cost of doing nothing? Containment wasn’t cheap. We did not choose between peace and war with Saddam Hussein. We were in fact at war with Iraq but we did not call it that.
4. What about Israel? Saddam was not a friend of Israel. What would the Middle East look like with Iraq and Iran threatening Israel?
Yes, Bush’s critics need to answer one simple question: What if Bush had not invaded Iraq?
So far, I have not heard anyone explain to me how Iraq would have been better if we had left Saddam in power.
Our inability to act against terrorism in the 1990s proved fatal on 9-11. As Clifford May wrote:
“It’s easy to say that if we had left Saddam alone, nothing bad would have happened. But how is that different from what was said for years about Osama bin Laden? We knew his intentions. We didn’t take pre-emptive action. Don’t you wish we had? If Americans have learned anything, it should be this: When people say they intend to kill you, take them seriously.”
