How to make the WAR makes sense and humane?

War in every essence is about revenge, demonstration of power, and military superiority and profit (of course the politically acceptable argument is that war is for protecting citizens’ safety, preventing further abuse of human rights and all heart-warming arguments). War policy maker has to set a clear and sharp objective. What to achieve? What to lose? Whom to attack? What is the message it wants to send to the world? I have just watched W today, an epic movie about George W Bush’s life, a story about the 200 years legacy of Bush. It depicts the very essence of internal struggle in Bush’s administration on the most astounding war in history.

*don’t stop reading until the last word, I will show you why my argument is very humane and reasonable!!

I think the biggest mistake of Bush’s administration is to set a dual-face objective on the war of Iraq. Freedom and Democracy, oil, and most importantly Americans’ safety from terrorist’s threat. This is why they lose ground and international support. This is why they get stuck in the ominous hellish circle of leaving Iraq with fragile democracy or seeing Americans’ soldiers and Iraqis’ civilians dying every day. War is the worst tragedy of human history. It does not sound, look, and feel good on human’s eyes. It brings unimaginable pain, chaos, destruction, and trauma. That s why I think if you need to wage a war, make it quick and hence less painful.

The biggest mistake of U.S. is not to go through the war quickly... War is like boxing and wrestling, the very essence of competition. The principle is “HIT YOUR ENEMY HARD AND FAST”. Hit them fast so that do not know where it is coming from, hit them hard so they cannot stand on their feet.

U.S. should have just come to Iraq with one message... Don’t fuck with my military power!! Don’t fuck with my citizens’ life. In reality, the U.S. doesn’t care about the freedom and democracy in Iraq. So why not just be honest about it? The problem with promising freedom and democracy is that U.S. knows it cannot possibly fulfill that. It s a different playing field in Iraq or any Middle East countries. Democracy is very much attached to local values, MOST IMPORTANTLY, democracy does not grow overnight (or in reality 4-5 years? How long can America stays in Iraq? Counts how much life and money they have spent during these 4-5 years). It is an impossible mission to bring freedom and democracy in Iraq.
Now you readers may say I am a heartless person for that despicable argument. I am saying setting the objective of the war as “DON’T FUCK WITH MY MILITARY POWER” is much better than “We would want to bring freedom and democracy before this land”. This is the calculation: If U.S. has come to Iraq by making sure Saddam is caught and killed... what they can do is bombard every single village and location suspected as Saddam’s nest. I understand that will kill a lot of civilians, but the war will end quick. In addition to above argument, you see, the nature of rebels or jihadist (as they say) is to grow exponentially out of anger, frustration, and oppression. The fact that U.S. plays it softly on war gives room and time for these potential jihadists who hate the Americans so much to grow. Suppose the inital Saddam’s supporters is 100,000 and the slow and soft war creates oppression and perpetual pain for the civilians who initially did not have anything against America, now this number (100.000) grows into 1,000,000 because the jihadists manage to persuade local Muslims to join their war fighting on the god’s path against the evil America. Slow and long agony change people’s mind, plus, the Iraqis and Muslims will tend to listen to their own kinds better than the U.S. Probably the Iraqis dreamt of freedom and democracy, but it changed because of their long agony. They now fight against U.S. Imagine if you were an Iraqi, you think dictatorship by Saddam is wrong, so you have sympathy to U.S.’s mission. During the war, your family is killed (dad, mom, sisters, brothers). You are left alone, in poverty, constant trauma, hunger, oppression. You will start hating the world! Here comes the jihadist, telling you that the culprit is U.S. and you should fight them in the name of Islam, you will definitely take it, because you have nothing to lose.
If U.S. came to Iraq with “hit them hard and fast”, killing, let s say, 200,000 civilians along with the Saddam’s cronies in 4-5 months, this tragedy doesn’t have to happen. It s cruel and against Geneva Convention and UN Charter, but practically speaking it s much better for humanity. Prolonging the war caused more civilians casualties out of suicide bombs, civil wars, more jihadists born and recruited. This number is growing exponentially into supposedly 1,000,000 now. Plus, the financial burden for war is huge... This war also costs constant political instability in Middle East politics. It also costs the significant and insane increase of oil price in the world. Money has significant co linearity to human rights. More money means less poverty, more stomach fed, less suffering, better education, better living standard.

In conclusion, if you are talking about humanity, about how many lives should not be lost, how much suffering we should ease off, how much political cost and security we should consider, how much money we should not have spent... U.S. should have just come to Iraq by the message of “DON’T FUCK WITH MY MILITARTY POWER”, hit the terrorist hard and fast, kill civilians if necessary!!! And pull off in 4-5 months. This is how the war can make sense. Most importantly, this is how the war can be much more humane and less costly!!!
