What does the United States have to gain from a war with Iraq? Supporters of a war with Iraq say it will help prevent the risk of an attack by a weapons of mass destruction developed by Iraq. Critics of a military action that say nothing will be gained, and the U.S. just wants to obtain the oil that Iraq controls. They claim that casualties will be too costly for America to afford. Nonetheless, America should act while others will not for fear of disturbing global peace. Iraq poses a "clear and present danger" to the security of the United States and the security of countries around the world.
For the past several months the United Nations' Security Council has debated on whether or not to accept the U.S. proposal to force Iraq to comply the new and former resolutions.
