Welcome to Free Republic somehow I doubt it
Iraq was just one — successful — campaign in the global war on terror.
Welcome to FR.
I think it did until now.
We can see many things stirring up
because they know they have a wuss
that won’t fight back for fear of offending someone. IMO
Did it reduce the threat of terrorism? Aboslutely!
Have terrorists attacked the homeland since President Bush and Vice President Cheney implemented their policies and strategies? No.
We haven’t been attacked in 7+ years. The Bush Doctrine is a significant factor in that equation.
Well, we had a war in Iraq, and until Obama was our president there were no further terrorist attacks on our land.
Is this paper due Monday?
In otherwords, you would like us to write your paper for you instead of you going to a library, looking on-line, and using just general paper writing techniques?
Judging by your writing style, I think Megan Fox would be a better subject.
Have hope...if America can change into a socialist dictatorship ...then Iran can certainly turn into a freedom loving country.
The real question is was the Iraq war worth the time, $$ and casualties we have sustained. We won't have the answer to this question for a long time however.
Best of luck!

Also compare the levels of terrorist activity (car bombings, suicide bombings, etc.) in Iraq before, during, and “after” the war. Iraqis are not living their lives in fear anymore. They’re getting on with the business of freedom and democracy.
Driving a Hummer has recently become a status symbol in Iraq. See this article: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2222604/posts
Yes, because it sent a clear signal that the US was not stopping with goatherd opium growers in Afghanistan. It is why Libya gave up its nuclear bomb development program.
The US has not been attacked in a coordinated fashion since 9/11, and the Invasion of Iraq was a big part of that reason. As Donald Rumsfeld, Defense Secretary and Great Man, said — we drew them (being those of a terrorist mindset) into Iraq where we killed as many as we could of them. Killed them there, in Iraq, rather than here.
Saddam Hussein (same last name as Obama’s middle, coincidentally) was the dictator of Iraq. There he encouraged terrorists abroad, for example paying the surviving families of successfully exploding “Palestinian” suicide bombers the equivalent of $25,000. Saddam’s secret police also ran terrorist operations abroad — Khalid Sheik Mohammed is an example of someone they worked closely with.
Some researchers suspect that Iraq secret agents were involved in the OKC terror bombing.
In any case Saddam gave safe haven and operating bases to terrorist groups, until we stopped him.
The War in Iraq was a true hard blow against global terror.
Live one!!!
When that war started, the idea was to take the war to where the terrorists are, and to keep them away from American soil. It worked for us. The terrorists swarmed Iraq and we fought them there. (It is always good to be able to pick your battle ground.) They were slowly but surely taken down by our brave soldiers. We have not been attacked again. And we have planted democracy in a very dry piece of earth. It will be up to the Iraqis to keep it. Peace is achieved through strength, and so is our national security. I know that sounds like a cliche, but it is a reality that you can observe in daily life as well as on the battlefield.
If you google the subject, stay away from sources Washington Post, New York Times & CBS/ABC/NBC/CNN. These sources are well-known to be biased for the anti-war liberal leftist democrats & obozo admin.
Oh well...Good question though....if only for the wrong reasons.
Yes. It worked. Saddam was funding terrorists by paying the families of homicide bombers. They have lost that funding from the Hussein regime.
