Motives for Iraq War through Realism and Neo-Conservatism Lenses

The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 has become the largest, longest and most expensive armed force that has been used since the Vietnam War. This is the first time the United States has adopted unilateral military action after the Cold War, there is no international alliance, it is the first experience in the United States as the occupying country of the Middle East. While the decision of invasion is unique (the US military relationship in Arab or Muslim countries), the argument here is that the invasion of Iraq includes the motives associated with natural security, power and resources.

In this article I will explain the current situation of war between Iraq and the United States considering the past few years. There are many speculations about the motive of war between Iraq and the United States. However, we ignored these motivations here and focused on the changes Iraq is currently experiencing. The three main changes discussed here are the withdrawal of troops from Iraqi territory, the political change of the country as a result of recent parliamentary elections, and the economy caused by the bid held in December 2009 It is growth.

Service in the invasion and occupation of Iraq raised questions about the motives of chosen leaders who casually mentioned that war is a quick and easy choice. My stay in Iraq is not easy. During the tens of replenishment missions of my troops, we were exposed to the damage the invasion left in Iraq. Trucks, cars, tanks, countless buildings are injured in the war. For each continuous replenishment we see that the face of the children beside the road changes from openness and curiosity to ultimate retreat and fear. I saw the children are very happy and filled with life, we are far away from them. No one will ask this candidate to promote war more. You have not heard about the impact of war on people living in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan.
