About this Quote

This quote by Paul Bremer is describing the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. He is emphasizing that the United States is not at war with the Iraqi individuals, however rather with those who are at war with the Iraqi people. This is a crucial difference to make, as it shows that the US is not targeting the Iraqi people, however rather those who are triggering harm to them. Bremer is likewise highlighting the requirement for the United States to act rapidly in order to show the Iraqi people that they are not the opponent. This is necessary in order to develop trust and goodwill in between the US and the Iraqi individuals. By revealing that the US is not at war with the Iraqi individuals, it can help to develop a more tranquil and steady environment in Iraq.
