text: is the iraq war justified? i wanted to know bush's iraq war is justified,just for dethroning saddam,ruining whole iraq bringing political unstability just in the name of democracy.do you people think present freed iraq is better in any way from past iraq. i just wanted to know what common western people think about it. the war in iraq was clearly an illegal "war of aggression" justified by wholly manufactured and ludicrously mis-interpreted evidence.  the sole beneficiaries of this war have been oil conglomerates, military industrialists, and military service contractors at the expense of hard-earned american tax dollars and lives of american sons (and daughters) and thousands of iraqi people.  this hoax of a war has also allowed the administration to put on the books policies that serve only corporate special interest groups at home and have not made us any safer in the least, unless you count the growing number of abolished freedoms as "protection against terror".  this strategy of pre-emptive war might actually fly if it was used for a solely moral purpose, but it is not.  the enemies targetted for this policy somehow all fall into the category of "resource rich".  north korea deserved it a lot more.
