1 General Information About Information Technology And The War In Iraq
In the twenty-rst century, world have been changing a lot but the most developed
and improved one is information technology. Development such an big industry is
helpful for di erent kind of the counties. third world countries use IT to upgrade
their weak part but some developed countries such as the dream countries as people
know United State of America use it for their on benet. If regarding two di erent
consequences, we can realize that It can be used for di erent aims but America
use this for bad aims. In other words, America is proving of superiority by using
developing and changing technology non-ethical behavior. Information technology
has become an essential tool for the global circulation of power, waging of war and
imagining of peace. Information technology has taken a more potent role in the
organization, execution, and representation of violence worldwide in the rst Gulf
War, Kosovo air campaign, and the terrorist attacks on September 11. Whether in
military technology and intelligence organizational strategies for peacemaking, the
second Gulf War was the rst, but of course it is not last...
(Feldman 2003)
In the developed world, many of governments have achieved dominant power
with the help of information technology in the war. There is an American empire
that in the twentieth century so in the Iraq war. American empire who has new
technology for military determine the Iraq. Thus, the war between America and
Iraq are a ected by information technology because America has many di erent
tactic and repower and it make many plan of victory in order to win the Iraq war.

2 Using The Technology In The Iraq War
*The MULE (Multifunction Utility and Logistics and Equipment)
It has robot army which has articial intelligence. It uses sensors and GPS
coordinates to pick its way through a battleeld. If a target is detected, the machine
will calculate its own ring solutions and wait for a remote human operator to pull
the trigger. It already uses put the bombs.
*ISR(intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance)
It was provided by the way of discovery opportunity that about C3I 's (com-
mand, control, communication-intelligence)success.
*CAP(combat air patrol)
It uses other air operations which is most high directions and it control battle-
ground.
*C4ISR
It is command, control, communication, computing, intelligence, surveillance,
reconnaissance and it calculates the distance then it puts the bomb in the right era.
* American military use internet, mobile phone which are satellite-based system.
*American used WMD (Weapon of Mass Destruction) to kill millions of human
to cause setting dominant.
*GPS
It is Global Positioning Systems. American military nd the position against
forces with GPS. They apply the right force at the right force, at the right place
and at the right time. GPS, going into orbit The World aimed at navigation step
satellites of the signals, evaluates latitude, longitude and height of the world the
nal our devices setting the general name. GPS provide the work satellites by the
united states in 1978 orbit exclusion was started. By 1994, arrived at the current
system sensitivity transporting the last satellites orbit the. was thrown into the
America has satellite maintenance and renewal procedures to do. USA has control
of the stations which are satellite and the constant satellite orbits monitoring and
necessary satellite part goes back to do transaction. Using GPS has three functions.
Those functions are waypoint, route and trackback.

3 Plans (tactics) and Aims Of America
American planners prepare two basis approach in order to achieve victory. The
rst plan was that American learned a method during September 11 and they used
"Shock and Awe" strategy. It means that a military doctrine based on the use of
overwhelming power, dominant battleeld awareness, dominant maneuvers. It is
dangerous for the society because Iraq era encountered psychotically shock. There
is no doubt that it is not ethical. The second plan is to catch Iraq's leader and
leave Iraqien people alone. With the help of rst and second plans, the war gained
speed.
(Kay 2003)
The aims of the America;
*American is willing to leadership in Iraq
*Destroy Iraqi WMDs(Weapon of Mass Destruction)
*To obtain petroleum in Iraq
* Prevent to global terrorism
When it comes to talk about InfoTechWarPeace, it mentions about what is the
Information technology war peace project and what is purpose of the peace project.
InfoTechWarPeace is called peace project. According to James Der Derian, InfoTechWarPeace means seeks to supplement traditional theoretical approaches with
rapid conceptual analysis, beginning with our e ort to understand how information
technology not only enables the continuation of violence through info war, but also
provides the means to prevent, mediate, and resolve con
icts through info peace."
The Aim of the peace project are that new global networks of con
ict and cooperation research, assist of critical thinking and networked knowledge.
(Joseph S.Nye 2003)
After September 11, USA president George Bush's main target was Iraq, but for
this he needs to get support from American public for this purpose devotion policy.
American public was make to believe it was necessary to go to war to eliminate
evilness. Iraq was very important target for Bush government so that white house
"established and inter departmental open diplomacy group for Iraq." The group was
composed of national security council, CIA, Pentagon, Foreign a airs and USAID
members. Open diplomacy group for Iraq established "freedom voices for Iraq"
these voices were in front of non American press in every opportunity talking about
Saddam's cruelty and torture a public relations company name of Endon Group
to support Iraq's democratic voice did established INC. The company, related Iraq
and el-kaide show saddam as a close threat and Bush market the war always they
use Saddam and twins towers together. However there was no relation but they
reach the target by always repeating. Public was fooled to believe that Saddam
had to power in fourty-ve minutes could re weapons of mass distraction (WMD).
This way they showed videos of Halepce curts chemical attacks in 1988 people were
tried to believe to war on Saddam ment ending evilness. More meaningful is in
parallel to INC the group who called themselves" leading Americans who wants
to save Iraq from saddam "they established CLI. Leading members New American
Century project had close ties to Bush foreign policy maker American Entrepreneur
Enstitute (we should remind that CLI members before DEssert Storm operation
Gulf and SEcurity committee). The baby incubator story used as Gulf War was a
lie!!! As a result, after this, this issue is not ethical because building stone of war
is lie or pretex.
(K.Adams 2001)
4 Revaluation Of Military A air
Revaluation of military a air (RMA) changes with developed of information tech-
nology and Asymmetric Warfare, the term used for the way that opponents would
respond to a dominant military power by ghting in ways that the dominant power
did not expect or prepare against. Revaluation of military a air means to tended to
emphasize the way that improvements in information technology, precision targeting
and smart munitions created the possibility of a new form of network warfare. Def-
initions of asymmetric warfare have emphasized asymmetries in technology, what
each side ghts with; asymmetries in tactics, how each side ghts or asymmetries
in the stakes, the costs of defeat to each side. Asymmetric warface alters with the
information technology growed like revaluation of military a air.
(Rasmussen 2003)
5 Conclusion
America claims that Iraq has massenwa es (WMDs) and all countries can not have
them according to NATO rules. Thus America decide to began Iraq war to put these
desires in motion. Of course it is not true because the main aim that American
attacked to Iraq was to control its petroleum. As a result American thinks your
benecial then to start Iraq war. It is not true behavior. As know that American is
superior in the Iraq war because it has new information technology. Their military
technologies among the gap between the two of the power were not up and ultimately
technological supremacy has gained. Technology levels of the gap between the
missing research, development, and acquisition di erence between. At the same
time, America is only super power or dominant power in the world but Iraq is third
world country. When this is the case, information technology gain upper hand in
the Iraq war and America should know so. As a result, every country can not have
same technology, same developed and same economic level. They do not benet
from developing technology and this reason cause some weakness. American has
most useful technology which are intelligent articial, GPS and the like then Iraq,
because USA is powerful country and it has high economic level. By courtesy of
this, it is not ethical behavior to started the Iraq war.
