United States Foreign Policy

Brought to you by Australianpolitics.com, USA foreign policy is explained simply. We can see how our government uses ridiculous reasoning to get what they want.  

Q: Daddy, why did we have to attack Iraq?

A: Because they had weapons of mass destruction honey.

Q: But the inspectors didn’t find any weapons of mass destruction.

 

A: That’s because the Iraqis were hiding them.

 

Q: And that’s why we invaded Iraq?

 

A: Yep. Invasions always work better than inspections.

 

Q: But after we invaded them, we STILL didn’t find any weapons of mass destruction, did we?

 

A: That’s because the weapons are so well hidden. Don’t worry, we’ll find something, probably right before the 2004 election.

 

Q: Why did Iraq want all those weapons of mass destruction?

 

A: To use them in a war, silly.

 

Q: I’m confused. If they had all those weapons that they planned to use in a war, then why didn’t they use any of those weapons when we went to war with them?

 

A: Well, obviously they didn’t want anyone to know they had those weapons, so they chose to die by the thousands rather than defend themselves.

 

Q: That doesn’t make sense Daddy. Why would they choose to die if they had all those big weapons to fight us back with?

 

A: It’s a different culture. It’s not supposed to make sense.

 

Q: I don’t know about you, but I don’t think they had any of thoseweapons our government said they did.

 

A: Well, you know, it doesn’t matter whether or not they had those weapons. We had another good reason to invade them anyway.

 

Q: And what was that?

 

A: Even if Iraq didn’t have weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein was a cruel dictator, which is another good reason to invade another country.
