Explain 3 accrions you believe the us must undertake in the immediate future in the war of Iraq and Afghanistan?

Insurgents are people uprising against their own government. "Terrorism" are tactics used by insurgents (since they don't have an Air Force, Navy, Army, nor Marine Corps; they must use what ever weapon they can get their hands on). Iraq & Afghanistan are no different than Germans, Japanese, Canadians, British, Russians, Mexicans, Cubans, Australians, or any other member of the human race.

If humans living in those above listed countries (which is only a small sample of humans living on this planet) can HANDLE their own problems...Irag & Afghanistan must be very unique people if they cannot handle theirs.

Most civilized countries have a police department, sheriff department, highway patrol, park rangers, forest rangers, border patrolman, customs officers, immigration officers, coast guardsmen, soldiers, sailors, marines, air force personnel, FBI, CIA, DEA, NCIS, LAPD, NYPD, DOJ, BOP, DOD, Texas Rangers, National Guardsmen, and Home Land Security. Now that was JUST NAMING AGENCIES IN AMERICA! Imagine what Iraq and Afghanistan could do to EMPLOY PEOPLE!

What was the primary cause for an increase in the public's support for a military invasion of Iraq during the six-month period leading to the start of the war?

There was little support in the UK for the war in Iraq. Thousands protested nationwide and marched into London to illustrate their strength of feelings against the planned invasion of Iraq. Some statistics show that public support is reported to have increased after Prime Minister Tony Blair stated that Iraq has to be invaded as Saddam Hussein was in possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) which could be released within forty five minutes and was refusing to surrender them. However these weapons were never discovered and in 2005 a government report was issued to confirm that no WMD had been found.

What happens if us never caught Saddam Hussein?

If the U.S. had never caught Saddam Hussein, it is likely that he would have continued to exert influence in the region, potentially leading to ongoing instability in Iraq and the broader Middle East. His absence from capture might have fueled persistent insurgency against U.S. forces, complicating post-war reconstruction efforts. Additionally, his survival could have revived his regime's loyalists, possibly resulting in a more fragmented Iraq and prolonged conflict. Ultimately, the dynamics of U.S. foreign policy and regional relationships could have shifted significantly.
