Ответ от Ђанюша[гуру]
Набери в поисковике google.com что-нибудь типа Iraq war. Там вся информация будет на английском. И выбери, что надо.
А так, вот немножко. К экзамену сама искала. Но это больше оценка на сегодняшний момент, хотя достаточно интересный материал.
Iraq.
Three years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the country continues to suffer. The death toll on all sides is mounting, with over 2,813 U.S. troops and over 655,000 Iraqi civilians killed so far. The U.S. military presence, rather than solving Iraq's problems, is often one of the many sources of violence. And, the cost of the war is soaring, with more than $330 billion already spent on war that could otherwise be used to create jobs, relieve poverty, and improve health and education, both in Iraq and the United States.
Meanwhile, no weapons of mass destruction were ever found in Iraq, nor were there any links discovered between Saddam Hussein and the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. The Downing Street memo, a document from British intelligence from July 23, 2002, proves that the Bush Administration never had concrete or credible evidence for any of the original allegations for war. The Bush Administration's haste and lies have now led to a seemingly endless occupation that has only gotten worse since Bush himself stood up and publicly declared "Mission Accomplished." The Iraqi military clearly did not even have the ability to defend its own capital, much less the strength to attack the U.S. or its neighbors.
This was an unjust and unnecessary war, one that needlessly took the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people.
The national conversation around the war has dramatically shifted over the past three years. Most Americans -- more than six in ten -- believe that going to war in Iraq was a mistake, reflecting a sea change in public opinion. Now, those who led us to war are backpedaling, stating that our withdrawal will precipitate more violence, causing a civil war. But this is a misrepresentation of what the military occupation is currently accomplishing: continuing the U.S.-led occupation will actually NOT bring peace, stability and democracy to the Iraqi people. Instead of maintaining security, the U.S. military presence is, on the whole, exacerbating sectarian violence and chaos. U.S. troops provide militant squads with a golden target on the streets. There are no better people to tell us about the wrongheadedness of this war than Iraqis ~ over a million of them signed a petition last year, asking the U.S. military to end its occupation, and Global Exchange has organized delegations of Iraqis here to the states who have echoed this. Furthermore, the troops themselves are turning against this mismanaged conflict: 72% of active military members currently serving in Iraq believe that the war should end before 2006 is out.
Fortunately, the peace movement is just as vibrant as before the war, when we were working to prevent an attack on Iraq. We are educating people about the reality of warfare in Iraq; pressuring our Senators and Representatives to cut off funding for the war; supporting military families and GIs who are speaking out against the war or refusing to fight; and taking to the streets to tell the world that we say no to the Bush administration's aggressive and militaristic foreign policies. And it's working! As an April 13 Gallup poll showed, a staggering 71% of Americans are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the United States today and 65% disapprove of Bush's handling of the war. An April 11 Los Angeles Times poll found most Americans don't trust George Bush to make the right decision about going to war with Iran.
