Whether attack on Afghanistan and Iraq has been accepted by the people of those countries?

Question

I think the people of Afghanistan and Iraq should have been given time to settle their own internal affairts and such attacks might have killed thousands of people who were totally innocent and such killings could be genocide.

The genocide by an external country is sought to be justified by genocide of the country's own ruler against a section of the citizens. The excuses are hollow as even children would know.

But your point about people accepting an external attack on whatever pretext is doubtful as people here correctly said. The British were here in India for about two centuries but we fought them when powerful leadership to lead us was available.

Even in Tibet or Myanmar, the people are tolerating the authority out of helplessness and not willing submission, isn't it?

Answer 2

They certainly didn't. But then, these people still hold a grudge against us because of the Crusades. And bear in mind that these 2 wars followed decades of plane hijacking, embassy attacks, abductions, beheading, suicide-bombings. Non-muslims as Jihad targets have been extremely patient and extremely tolerant towards muslims. Remember that Saddam Hussein threw chemicals bombs on his own people. Remember that Afghanistan was harbouring Al-Qaida, held responsible for the WTC. There was no war at the time of 9/11. With or without war, the Islam's fundamental religious dogma calls for the killing of non-muslims wherever they are. It was Mr George Bush who was right when he said it was better to fight the terrorists in their homeland than ours.

Answer 3

no country accepts attack
if saddam was allowed to have his way , oil supplies to America would have been jeopardized . Dollar was at risk as Saddham had threatened to move to euro
Bush had to settle his father's account with saddam
iraq is about oil and afganistan is about surrounding china and russia as simple as that

Answer 4

Iraq, even though attacks still happen, is currently at a all time low for violence since the initial invasion in 2003. Sheiks and head figures around the country are openly working with the Americans and generally most fighting still happening in the country is civilian on civilian. Not on American soldiers. So I guess in the case of Iraq they (in general) have accepted occupation for now. Consider this, I deployed twice to this region with the 4th ID as a scout. My first deployment in 2006 we were shot at and/or hit with IEDs nearly everyday. My second deployment in 2008/2009 in an entire year, we had only two actual attacks on US forces in my Company/Troop. Iraq in a few years, I believe, Iraq will be as good as it has ever been in its entire history and I think that peace will finally come to that country.

As far as Afghanistan goes this is only my opinion but it did go from a occupied country with very few attacks on US forces for years to recently being in the news nearly everyday with reports of attacks and violence. I can only think of two reasons this would have happened and the biggest is because of lack of troops to support the local population and crush local Taliban/Al Queda forces. In reality the Taliban did a better job taking US strategies from Iraq and implementing the in Afghanistan then the US did. Now we're cleaning up the mess because of it. Poor leadership and planning is the only reason this has happened. It will take a lot of time and troops but afghanistan can be tamed too.

Regardless of wether or not you believed the US had the right to invade these countries doesn't matter only what needs to be done now. To just "pull out" of these countries would have a devastating effect in the region and would cause countless more deaths as a result then if we stay.

Answer 5

Ah, now let's see? I think there was this man called Saddam Husein who was killing off his own people by the millions. Maybe we could of let his people try to fight him out, Oh they did that and were gassed to death! Oops! And I believe there was some Taliban that were slowly taking over Afghanistan, killing people so they could sell drugs and weapons. The people were to weak and poor, to do a thing, so Oops, that didn't work.

Answer 6

There's resistances still against the invaders and with each passing day the resistance turns out to me more stronger, more troops killed. It clearly shows that a majority of people haven't accepted the attack.
