Why Bush went to War

I strongly agree with Doherty. The most crucial point he made was the point that America is indebted to Israel because of Zionists, Jews, and Israelis supporting America's spread of democracy. The Bush Administration then determined that in order to help pave the road for smoother Israel peace talks, they must take care of Saddam Hussein. Hussein's elimination, according to Doherty, would hinder the Palestinian bombers' inventory, would cause Iraq to lower their oil prices, hurting Iran and Saudi Arabia, and allow the US to station soldiers in Iraq, thus enabling them to monitor Iran and Syria with great care. Also, this would protect one of our biggest military suppliers, Israel, from many Arab attacks. Therefore, Bush went into Iraq to gain oil, and to protect Israel by monitoring surrounding countries
