The invasion of Iraq was very controversial. Many editors and columnists voiced strong opinions on the Iraq War. Use your knowledge of current events and the information in your textbook to write two short editorials. One should state why the United States should have invaded Iraq; the other editorial should state why the United States should not have invaded Iraq.
Some points you may wish to consider:
What was the stated purpose of the invasion?
Why did the United States initiate a preemptive war?
Has the United States engaged in preemptive wars in the past?
Were there alternatives to invasion?
Was it reasonable to assume that the U.S. military could defeat the Iraqi military?
What strategy did the United States have for rebuilding the Iraqi government and economy after the fall of Saddam Hussein?
What was the American public asked to do to support the war effort?
What was the human cost of the war on Iraq and on the United States?
What was the economic impact of the war on Iraq and on the United States?
How did the invasion affect relations between the United States and its traditional allies?
How did the invasion affect relations between the United States and other nations of the Middle East?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

I think that they should not have so that the US would have Iraq  as a friendly country. The US would want a lot of countries that are nice to them so they don't need much wars. Also, they could have made some deal with Iraq to stop the fighting and both get a share in what they want.

Answer 2

I believe they shouldn't have done it in order for the US to consider Iraq a friendly nation. To prevent frequent conflicts, the US would like to have many friendly nations. Also, an agreement with Iraq might have been reached to end the conflict and ensure that both parties received what they want.

Why did the US actually invade Iraq?

US and allies forces invaded Iraq on March 20, 2003, overthrowing Saddam Hussein's government. Most nations declined to endorse military action against Iraq despite American claims that it posed a danger to world peace and had WMD.

The US led a global coalition in the Gulf War of 1990–1991 that drove Iraqi forces out of Kuwait. After that, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 687 directing Iraq to destroy all of its weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), which include long-range ballistic missiles, and biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons.

In the spaces below, list two ways in which John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie were similar.

Answers

Answer: Consolidation and philanthropists.

Explanation: Both used systems of consolidation to increase their power and wealth. Carnegie used vertical consolidation meaning he bought companies that created all of the resources needed to create steel as well as raillines to move the steel. Rockefeller used hortizontal consolidation meaning he bought out rival companies until he owned all oil production in the country. Both men also used their wealth to give back to society. Carnegie donated money for libraries throughout the country as well as Carnegie Mellon University. Rockefeller donated to Rockefeller Center, the University of Chicago, and Rockefeller University.

John and Andrew were very similar in the ways they had achieved financial greatness. It probably helped that they had both started working at a young age. These jobs would then prove to be helpful later on, having teached them important lessons with money and such. Though of course moving up, there would be competitors. They both wanted to remove of their competitors, and so they did. Along with it, they had created monopolies within their businesses, allowing them to grow.

Answer:

Trickle-down

Explanation:

Trickle-down was an economic policy advocated by President Ronald Reagan, who sought to favor big businessmen by increasing the physical benefits to these companies. This provided a high economic profit for strong entrepreneurs in society.

For Reagan, if big companies were favored and improved their economy, this would reflect across society in different ways. However, many people criticized this policy, saying that the Trickle-down would favor the wealthy in a big way, while the poor and middle class people were in a very weak economic situation and would literally need the "crumbs" of the upper classes.

Hog Butcher for the World,
Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat,
Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler;
Stormy, husky, brawling,
City of the Big Shoulders:

They tell me you are wicked and I believe them, for I have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys.

And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes, it is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again.

And they tell me you are brutal and my reply is: On the faces of women and children I have seen the marks of wanton hunger.

And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer and say to them:

Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning.

Flinging magnetic curses amid the toil of piling job on job, here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the little soft cities;

Fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning as
a savage pitted against the wilderness,
Bareheaded,
Shoveling,

Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with white teeth,
Under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young man laughs,
Laughing even as an ignorant fighter laughs who has never lost a battle,
Bragging and laughing that under his wrist is the pulse, and under his ribs the heart of the people, Laughing!

Laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of Youth, half-naked, sweating, proud to be Hog Butcher, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and Freight Handler to the Nation.
