       I think that the war in Iraq should come to an end.
This war is useless and many of our troops are dying
each day for a purpose that has no resolution. This
war has also caused a controversy amongst many U. S.
citizens, as well as dividing our nation between
opposing and non-opposing groups.
        First, I want to say that there is no motive for
fighting in Iraq. Bush's top priority was to find some
weapons of mass destruction. However, there was no
proven evidence of this action since no weapons of mass
destruction were ever found! For that reason, I don't
understand why our troops are still in the Middle
East. The President makes it seem as if he was just
interested in the oil, which will give the United
States a lot of profit. Nevertheless, he shows no
concerned for what he is doing to our country as a
whole.
        Another reason why I believe this war is unnecessary
is because our government is disorganized. One good
example is the damages left by Hurricane Katrina. The
whole world saw how our government was unprepared.
They witnessed how the government was unable to manage
this situation that brought chaos and destruction.
Therefore, if there were ever to be another attack on
American soil like the one from 9/11, our nation would
be under great danger because of the lack of
organization and preparation.
        There was no reason for our government to try to fix
someone else's regime. We should have kept our noses
out of it because eventually it was going to bring a great
conflict. The United States should have known better
when they stepped in a territorial boundary of
difference. This war has not only lost its supporters,
but the recruitment level has gone down as well.
Family and friends would love to see their relatives
come back home and for this war to end. I do not agree
with this war because my best friend will be leaving
October 31st and I don't know if I will ever see him
again...
