The 10 years war in Iraq caused the United States in difficult

March 20, 10 years ago, the U.S. and its allies began to embark on a comprehensive bombing Iraq. April 9 easy Gongke Iraqi capital Baghdad, on May 1, U.S. President George W. Bush announced Iraq completely overcome. Following in countless guerrilla warfare collected, and small-scale actions, the capture of Saddam Hussein in December of the same year, and later put to death.

   10 years have passed, all calculations, the U.S. military death toll of more than 4,000 people, more than 30,000 wounded soldiers, more than 20,000 workers are subjected to a variety of injuries. The deaths of the Iraqi people for more than 17 million people. U.S. military spending 10 years, nearly $ 800 billion, plus the marathon war in Afghanistan, the expenses of the United States a total of 2 trillion U.S. dollars, accounting for one seventh of the U.S. GDP in 2010.

   In addition to direct losses, the impact of the United States in the international rapid decline. George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Bunai Er, not only by the vast majority of people questioned and dissatisfaction in the international community is condemning a.

   First, the United States without the consent of the UN Security Council, and a British and a few other countries, declared war on Iraq, which is an internationally recognized illegal war launched World War II with Hitler and the Japanese Emperor nature is the same, only the size of a country only just.

   Second, George W. Bush and Bu Naier intentional use of false intelligence, I have to say that the anti-nuclear and chemical weapons in Iraq, which is a powerful excuse for them to the invasion of Iraq, the only reason they get the domestic public support. But 10 years later, nobody Iraq to exist 'cloth' said the weapon. So Bu Naier been various surveys in the United Kingdom, eventually dropped to the face of the country, the British do not want to let the truth out there, so it did not Bu Naier to take any legal action.

   George W. Bush's reputation in the United States is also greatly reduced, however, in the United States, as long as the next stage, even warmonger, but also let the matter rest.

   George W. Bush attacked Iraq for U.S. hegemony psychological. September 11, 2001, bombing of the skyscrapers in New York, Americans must be dry by Osama bin Laden and his leadership of the Taliban, began a large-scale invasion of Afghanistan looking for Osama bin Laden at all costs, did not expect the 10-year time, was killed in Pakistan.

   It should be said, the superior military capability of the United States, while launching the basis of the three wars in 10 years, including the war in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. And, eventually, the United States wanted to get rid of the three characters: Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden and Gaddafi, in full to get rid of. Such a large-scale war, and replaced with any other country, are impossible.

   This is powerful. However, the United States pay for the high, in addition to a lot of expenditure, as well as the expenses of the late war, the dominance of the United States is facing severe challenges.

   First of all, the world financial crisis in 2009, the war with the United States and the fight against terrorism are inseparable. In fact, the subprime crisis itself is not terrible, terrible endless war and security risks. Britain to some extent quilt inside. Although Britain is only played a very small role of mutual aid, in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq inputs, they become the last straw that breaks the camel's back. The British did not dare report the impact of war on the British economy, however, the expenditure of tens of millions of pounds a day, an economic zero growth in the country what it means? Who investigated into the deep, can get some idea.

   Mainly by the United States, Western powers and the biggest nightmare, is not the world financial crisis is not a direct military expenditure of the three wars of aggression, but the world economy is another change occurred in the past 10 years: that is, China, India the rapid rise of the four BRIC countries of Brazil and Russia and rejuvenation.

   China in the past 10 years, the spate of more than five of the seven major Western powers, plus the last century has been more than Canada, of the Chinese economy in the world rankings into second place. Without the United States launched such a long war, not the world economic crisis, China dream impossible to catch up so fast. In 2012, China has become the world's largest commodity trading power, trade accounts for 11.1% of the world, twice as high than it was 10 years ago. GDP accounted for 12.7% of world GDP, compared with 4.3% in 2001, but also turned nearly tripled.

   India and Brazil are rapidly rising, 10 years later, the world's top six economies, including China, India and Brazil will.

   Of course, despite the strength of the BRIC relative level greatly improve the overall strength, as well as the strength of the per capita basis, the gap with Western countries, there are 5 to 10 times. However, due to the large population base in China, India, Brazil and Russia, their rapid rise has made Americans feel the pressure of another inexplicable.
