Thoughts on Iraq War

One of the top National issues of the moment is the War in Iraq. Everyone has their own opinions of the War; even not caring about the war is an opinion people have about what’s going on in Iraq. The War can also be split up into smaller issues, such as the troops that are fighting in Iraq, the money being spent in Iraq, and the goal that we are reaching to achieve in the War.
There have been many soldiers sent to Iraq to help keep the peace. The problem is that the troops might be causing more trouble then being a help to restoring peace in Iraq. Our troops are dying in Iraq and they should all be sent back to their homes and families.
The money being spent on the War in Iraq is ridiculous. We have spent over $450 billion dollars already on the War. Also, President Bush has already requested another $196 billion dollars to be spent on the War next year for upgrades to the armored vehicles and other uses.
The goals that we have for Iraq keep changing. At first goal was to remove Saddam Hussein from power. Then the goal was to install a Democratic government in Iraq. Helping Iraq change to a Democratic government is a hard job and it’s costing us many lives and a lot of money.
We have ended the threat of Saddam Hussein and the terrorists so we should leave Iraq and allow them to work out things for themselves. We should stop the growing death count in Iraq because the soldiers should be back in their homes prepared to defend our country from new threats to the safety of the citizens.
