Will the Iraq Invasion make the world a safer place?

No!  The only reason we are in Iraq is to finish what Bush's daddy couldn't.  If you recall Iraq wan't the origional problem, it was Afghanistan.  Why don't you hear much about the Afghan. part of the war?

It's the truth. Our occupation in Iraq increased the likelihood of terrorism around the world. The threat levels at home will increase greatly as well, all thanks to Bush!

Dear friend,\nAn American theory implies that the safty of our nation is completely depend on the safety of world. So Bush the president started a defence before the attack of Iraq to the safety of this area could be insure while there is lots of loss on this war for USA which are on surface and not deep. But u should know, after a war usually the winner should control the area to make the situation calm and cool. so the best way is to stay in and control.

Not at present as;\n\nA) IRAQ will now provide much of the oil the USA wants, at a price it likes. Therefore it can afford some disruption to oil supplies from Saudia Arabia - it won't cause panic buying in the US.\n\nB) The are easier targets which, if invaded/attacked, will restore US confidence in its armed forces and help get a Republican re-elected to the White House.\n\nNope - no attack on IRAN in the near future.

I doubt we will ever be invaded, at least not in our lifetimes.  Doesn't mean we won't have war on the homefront...ie...terrorism...but the likelihood of us being invaded is small.  We are the only superpower left in the world...we are geographically isolated...we have a massive population that are allowed to carry guns.  In the small chance that we were invaded,  the only likely contender would be China.  It's the only country that has a large enough military to mobilize such an attack.  But who knows...in a 100 years everything could change...if history is any example..(as I think it is)  we won't be a superpower forever.

There was an actual threat from Iraq.  Saddam has attacked other countries in the past (Kuwait and Iran) leaving even more countries in the area feeling insecure (Saudi Arabia and Israel).  Throw on some suspected WMD's, his disdain for the Western World, and know terrorist training camps in country and you have the recipe to get overthrown.  \n\nNorth Korea on the other hand is all bark and no bite.  Most of North Korea's military equipment dates back to the 1950's.  Plus, it's population is starving, so it's people are most likely not going to support it's government in a fight.  Have you ever scene National Geographic's world picture at night.  Notice South Korea is lit up like a Christmas tree while North Korea is almost completely dark.

only if you are far away from harm and are expecting them to happen.....war zone explsions are hurting our men/women in the war now...not pretty and unnecessary...pray that all will be home soon......and safe!

Well, that's a complicated question and it's not possible to answer it in a paragraph. The US does have military presence in nearly every country on earth. Sometimes it's by our choice, and sometimes it's by the other country's choice. It's difficult to say whether it's good or bad because there are a variety of reasons we are in particular countries. For example, we are helping to protect South Korea from the North Korean government. But I think we have no legitimate reason to be in Iraq.

the invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with demorcay, which was a front, or making the world a safer place, it had to do with a personal vendetta against Hussien by Bush, who tried and tried to tie Iraq to 9/11 but couldnt , who insitsted there were wmds, but couldnt find any, and anyone who said they did, please cite the source, it was also for oil! Meanwhile Bin Laddens boys continue to operate, why vbecause instead of pouring the amount of troops needed to kcik their butts in Afghanastan, we decided to invade Iraq! That alone should raise eyebrows, but it gets worse if you investigate just how the twin towers colsaapsed, when steel does not melt at the tmp that  the building got to, nor should it of free fell! SO someone hide something, and used Hussien as a shield so that they could accomplish their goal, which was $$ oil all powerful presidency, curtailing civil rights!

let see he is thinking we need to win in Iraq and Afganstan to make things safe at home. need to encourage growth in the best economy in 20 years, need to secure the borders. to make Americia safe for the next generation.

When the mission is done, Iraq can defend its democratic state by itself, and we will not cause unrest and instability in the area by pulling out.\n\nAnd NOT a DAY sooner.

Nope. Let's look at the different rationales for war:\n1) WMDs: none found.\n2) Link with Al Qaeda: none proven.\n3) Make Iraq safe for democracy: not accomplished.\n4) Take the fight to the enemy: well, perhaps, but invading an arbitrary Middle Eastern country is hardly the way to go about doing this.\n5) Fight the war on terror: nope. The war in Iraq hasn't decreased terrorist attacks at all; rather, Iraq has become a magnet for terrorists.\n6) Make America safer: it's impossible to prove one way or the other, but any added safety we have is at the cost of the lives of American troops and Iraqi civilians.

Absolutely, Peace and Democracy will happen in Iraq. I have a source you can look at to see the progress and great things that happen in Iraq that the mainstream media doesn’t tell you about.

There will NEVER be peace throughout the world, at any given time there are at least 5 wars going on, many we are involved in but with less news coverage, WWII was over 60 years ago and we still have troops in Germany, Korea ws 50 years ago still have troops there. As long as one country has something another country wants there will be war, Until we have alternative fuels or the middle east runs out of oil we will be in Iraq

There can only be a peaceful Iraq when all of the world steps forward to help them. The UN has destroyed this country by the way it was handled before the war. The U.S. took a stand against a very Evil leader. It is curious that the international Human rights groups have only bad things to say now about the U.S., but not a peep about how Saddam treated the Iraq people while he was in control. the Iraq people need a boost to get started from all of us , including their neighbors, before they can realize peace. It is unfortunate that some of their neighbors will do anything to stop any peace. The Americans can only do so much. The fear of the terrorist stops progress in Iraq. The burden of the peace lays mostly on the new government of Iraq and support from it's neighbors for peace in the area.

It should.  The world would be a better place to live in,  if it is peaceful.

If our military is appropriately equipped, funded and manned...if we have the right strategy...if we have the UN, the EU and all our allies behind us...then no, we'd have no problems.  BUT we don't have all of those things.  Iraq has stretched our army, our budget and our tolerance for any further interventions.
