Question

Discuss the US unilateralism during 1991 in Iraq ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The invasion of Iraq was the most controversial and momentous foreign policy decision in recent memory. Analysts are deeply divided over explanations for the war. Compared with other wars, there appears to be an especially radical cleavage between the justifications for war advanced by its proponents—Iraqi weapons of mass destruction (WMDs)—which proved to be hollow, and the actual motives and causes. Since the war, the deception practiced by the Bush administration has been exposed; but even before it was clear to ex-weapons inspectors and Iraq specialists that Saddam had no serious WMD capability and certainly not one capable of threatening the US. Robert Jervis already had dissected and discredited the claims that even a nuclear-armed Iraq posed a threat to the US, that it could not be contained, and therefore had to be taken out by preventive war; he concluded that the only thing that made deterrence appear inadequate for US purposes was the overweening ambition of the Bush administration to dominate and overthrow any regime it disliked.1 Hence, the striking fact is that Iraq posed little threat to the US and this was knowable before the war; hence we are left looking for other explanations for the war. But mainstream theories of International Relations (IR) prove remarkably inadequate in providing such explanations.
