Why I am Against the Iraq War

I know this topic is getting old, and is terribly over-popular in the world of the weblog, but bear with me here. I need to get this off my chest.

 

People can say whatever they like in support of the War and Occupation of Iraq. Sure, Saddam’s reign has been ended. Never mind whether or not the USA has the authority to make decisions on who should stay and who should go, he was a bad man, end of story. The ends justify the means. I can understand how some people might feel like that.

Of course Saddam was a threat to the USA. Who isn’t? The majority of American citizens felt threatened enough by homosexuals to completely ignore their flaming albatross of an economy.

So yes, removing Saddam calmed many Americans down enough to get them off one or two of their 9 prescription antibiotics, which I guess is a good thing. The fact that this whole pre-emptive strike has created more anti-American sentiment and brought it to a boiling point is just an annoying side-effect that will be dealt with at a later date. You have to pick your battles.

 

And yes, the people of Iraq are getting a democracy. Whether or not it is a democracy by definition or a hand-me-down, one-size-fits-all version tainted by Western ideologies is not the issue. It’s a democracy, that’s enough.

The reason, after all of the above, that I am still against the War on Iraq, is that when ideals like freedom and democracy are forced upon people, they become rules. Freedom should not be a rule, for making freedom a rule to be followed contradicts the very meaning of freedom. Without freedom, Democracy loses its meaning. It simply becomes another rule to follow, not a form of government in which people have the choice. People need to choose democracy in order for it to be true, otherwise there is no freedom in the matter to begin with.

What is going on isn’t a noble cause in the name of helping your fellow man; it is a crusade in the name of Western Democracy as an absolute final means of government: no questions asked. That is why, no matter what you say, I will forever be against this war.
