Why We Are In Iraq

I have read blogs and have heard news propaganda about how bad things are right now in Iraq. How life there is harder now than when Saddam was in power. I truly feel sorry for these people who have to carry a gun just to visit their aunt on the other side of Baghdad. Walking outside brings dangers that only a veteran Navy Seal knows; however, I am not sorry for bringing justice to an evil man. The United States went to war against Saddam and his regime on the premise that there were, indeed, WMDs. Although never found, it was apparent that WMDs were used on the Kurds' over a decade ago. So, Saddam did have them; we just have not found them yet. But our second and most important reason for going to Iraq was to bring evil to justice! Saddam committed atrocities to mankind, and he has to be held accountable for his actions. Genocide, torture, rape, breaking international laws; any one of these would send any American to prison and hopefully be given the death penalty,but the world is complaining that a Nation, with the power to bring justice are wrong in doing so. Yes, Iraq is hard right now, yes innocent people are dieing, yes, it's not fair. But was it fair for Hitler to kill Jews out of hatred? Was it fair for Russian solders to die for a country who a few years later killed innocent people in the name of socialism? Was it fair for American Special Forces to die trying to bring food to a poverty stricken Somalia just because a militia wanted for their people to suffer? No! Life is not fair! But it happened, I'm not saying that it's right, but that is life. One thing that the Iraqi people and the world have to understand is that we brought an evil man down; he can no longer hurt people. But at the same time we are trying to fight those who didn't want justice to be served, the insurgents of Iraq don't want American democracy because they are afraid that they then will be held accountable for their actions. That is the awful truth. I have read blogs on how price of water and gas has gone up dramatically in Iraq due to the American occupation. How the streets are more dangerous now, how US solders have stopped groups of citizens from protecting themselves by carrying guns. All I can say is that what we are doing will not be forever. They may not have asked to be liberated, but since they did nothing to stop Saddam, they had it coming. If they weren't going to stop evil, then step aside and let someone who will. All the countries that the US has liberated have taken years to fully develop. So for these people to say that they are tired of US occupation, I say sorry, we are not going to leave until you can run a country that poses no threat to us and the world.
