We are looking over our Canada maps, and our test will be on Wednesday. For our last assigned blog I got the UN millennium goal of Universal Education. http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/education.shtml
•Focus on the following items:
-define/explain the goal and all it’s targets
-explain why it is a goal—explain the problems the world is having with your issue
-explain how the world has or has not made progress with your goal
Saddam Hussein was killed for gassing his own people. We invaded Kuwait to get Iraq to leave. Operation Desert Storm was a success, and it took about 1 month for them to be overran. Consequences on Iraq: Economic sanctions remained, weapons inspectors have to make sure Iraq isn't making WMD's, and we put a no fly zone over north and south Iraq. A lot of people think we invaded Iraq to combat the war on terror. Another reason is that Iraq had a lot of oil, and the US may have wanted to get their hands on it. One more reason that we may have started the war is because President Bush believed that Iraq had WMD's. The UN did not find any WMD's in Iraq. Saddam said that they might have WMD's as a bluff for self defense against Iran. We thought that terrorist may have been training in Iraq. Al Qaeda moved into Iraq, and they were even known as Al Qaeda In Iraq. The Iraq war lasted from March 20, 2003 until December 18, 2011. Bush said he would invade Iraq again knowing what he did after the war. He said he would because the world was a better place without Saddam Hussein. Another positive of President Bush was what we called the "Surge" He said we were not going to leave Iraq until their government was able to protect against terrorists. The 2004 Iraq Prison Scandal made the US look like we were torturing Iraqi prisoners.
