THe WMD threats was more or less a reason to invade. Did they have WMD? Maybe. I love my country but I def disagree with how Iraq was handled by our elected politicians. To force feed a country democracy that some never wanted anyway. Democracy does not work overnight. We as a country still don’t have it right. Was Iraq a success? I still feel like it needs time to grow as a democratic country to see if it was worth it. I always like to this a particular scenario as an example… Let’s say North Korea for instance invaded to US(Yea it will most likely never happen). And they tried to instate a Dictorship. I’m positive most Americans would do what Iraq and Afgan citizens did(and are still doing) ie. use ied’s, snipers, etc to kill the enemy. I feel America needs to take a pre-WW1 approach and mind our own buisness but will never happen. As for the 4k+ soldiers, marines, sailors, and airmen that have died I do not feel sorry. I don’t mean to offend anyone that has lost a loved one to the conflict but they signed up for it. They knew every bit what they were getting themselves into when joining. Some disagree. > **[Debunking The War For Oil Theory - John Hawkins' Right Wing News](https://rightwingnews.com/column-2/debunking-the-war-for-oil-theory-2/)** > > As I read the: latest & greatest piece of diarrhea: to be penned by one of the ‘war for oil” crowd, I was struck by how shallow and ill-thought out this theory --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/iraq-war-conflict-10-year-anniversary/266552)._
