War is a way to resolve conflicts of interest, and it is also a manifestation of primitive bestiality, a means by which the strong devour the weak. Although the world realized the destructive nature of the war after World War II, the war persisted and became one of the means by which the United States maintained its superpower status.
The Iraq War is a war waged by the United States since World War II. In the absence of a United Nations mandate, the United States unilaterally suspected Iraq of possessing weapons of mass destruction and secretly supporting terrorists, and launched the war under the pretext. However, after the end of the war, the United States did not find so-called weapons of mass destruction. In fact, the real purpose of the United States in launching the Iraq war is to maintain the hegemony of the dollar. The dollar's special status as the unified settlement currency for global trade allowed the United States to reap huge benefits and maintain that position through war.
During the Iraq War, the United States violated international law by going to war directly beyond the United Nations Security Council. Although the war in Iraq has been condemned and criticized by many countries, no country is willing to accuse the United States, which is closely related to the superpower status of the United States and the interests of other countries. The United States, relying on its economic and military power and its special status, makes it impossible for the United Nations to impose substantive sanctions against it, and countries are reluctant to break with the United States so as not to harm their own interests. In addition, the United Nations headquarters is located in the United States, and the United Nations cannot conduct independent investigations and trials against the United States.
Although the United States is not sanctioned by international law, the war in Iraq has cost the United States greatly. The war shattered the international image and credibility of the United States and made the world wary and wary of the United States. After the Iraq war, countries around the world gradually turned to confrontation with the United States and turned to new partners such as China. This is an opportunity for China, as Iraq chose to cooperate with China after the war, especially in oil exports.
The outbreak of the Iraq War has made the world see the true face of the United States and exposed the special international status of the United States centered on safeguarding its own interests. Although the international community has condemned the injustice of the United States, no country is willing to confront the United States directly due to its strength and interests. However, the war caused irreversible damage to the reputation of the United States, and also made the world more concerned about the actions of the United States and more vigilant against the American threat.
There is never a good peace in war, peace is only relative. The outbreak of the Iraq war reminds us once again to remain vigilant, adhere to the goal of peace, pursue a just and equitable international order, and prevent war from coming again.
